Let me correct this then: "Do product managers get to claim that they helped to make something?" I think product managers surely have a right to claim they "helped" to make something at least. If the team made something

The restaurant comparison doesn't really hold up. The parent didn't go choose from a menu of new apps that they wanted AI to create. They discovered a problem or a feature that doesn't exist on other platforms and they employ

This is actually the exact opposite for me. Rubber tipped buds will not stay put in my ears when I move around, while the original airpods models sit within my ears and don't fall out unless I'm doing cartwheels.

You should really remove the entire PDF of the book that you've shared on a public repo. No Starch Press is a gem and worth protecting.

Another example is Old School Runescape, who reverted back to an earlier save and has now diverged as an entirely separate game running with older systems as they lost a ton of players with their "Evolution of Combat" update. Whil

This comes entirely down to the scope of the agreement for the assessment. Some teams are looking for you to identify and exploit vulns in order to demonstrate the potential impact that those vulnerabilities could have. This is oftentimes p

I'm sure you are correct about being able to do some clever prompting or tricks to get it to print inappropriate stickers, but I believe in this case it may be OK. If you consider a threat model where the threat is printing inappropria

It sounds like that's a possibility, but why on earth would you take the time to setup a 3 node cluster of object storage for reliability and ignore one of the key tenants of what makes it reliable?

"If you select those people, what’s to keep them from creating a system that gives them ever more amounts of money, to the detriment of their constituents?" That is literally the system that exists today, except instead of in the

That is awful, but it doesn't lessen the impact of someone who right now has access to your email and or other accounts. China having your DNA profile is not near as impactful as someone actively stealing your identity and potentially

Defaulting a furnace to on certainly shouldn't be considered safe. What if it's leaking CO into your house, what if it gets dangerously hot and causes a fire? A thermostat and controls are a necessary requirement for HVAC systems

I have a nest and it's wired directly to your furnace via the thermostat control wires. While it is controllable via the cloud, even without wifi it continues to function.

I believe the CLI _does_ ask permission for each program trying to access it. The author's example includes a malicious vscode extension abusing the fact that he intentionally granted vscode permission to access the vault for one purpo

The “whole point” of 2fa is that even if someone knows your password they cannot login with just credentials. Compromising or stealing a device is a significant escalation from guessing passwords.

Two Factor doesn't mean 2 devices. Two factor generally has been thought of as "something you know, and something you have." Let's do a quick threat model on putting both passwords and MFA tokens in a 1password vault. 1P

Not sure which ranger you're talking about - but if you mean the 6ft one, 18 inches of bed length is definitely noticeable. It's also definitely possible to haul all those things with almost any truck. Hell, you could even buy a r

I think that you're looking at extremes exclusively when it comes to your assessment. I live in a "city" in WV and need my truck all the time to get to rural areas, but that doesn't mean that I don't have reasonable

A company that has to "follow the rules" is way less desirable to work for then a company that embraces the spirit of the rules. I'm in the US so can't really speak for companies in other countries, but many US companies

Glad to hear you guys are making progress. Password rotation is definitely more of a hindrance than a help and is a big reason that you end up with Spring2025! style passwords for sure. I think the industry is realizing that less is more wh

That's particularly hard when you are in middle school/high school and all of your peers are using them. It might sound easy on principal children are cruel and something as simple as "You don't use tiktok, weird."

Why not just use Docker? It's been around for years now, is super battle tested, and user tooling continues to get easier. As a bonus, it works for not only python but other tooling as well.

It may be different now, but Planet Fitness used to ONLY allow you to set up ACH payments (e.g. bank routing and account number) and then only allow you to cancel in person. You can't dispute because it's ACH.
