Does anyone know why this was only given a CVSS score of 7.5? Based on the description this sounds way worse, but Oracle only gave it a CVSS Confidentiality Score of "None", which doesn't sound right. Is there some mitigatin

Note that this also necessarily requires that critical variables and configuration options are stored in version control, rather than database. Bootstrapping staging databases with values necessary to run the application is a constant chall

Does anyone have a reputable resource for how General Average actually works under today's international law? Some questions I'm curious about are: (1) What constitutes an "emergency"? If the ship is stuck but not otherw

I was basing it on this line in the article: > any police jurisdiction can use an EDR to request immediate access to data without a warrant, provided the law enforcement entity attests that the request is related to an urgent matter of l

All the more reason to get some oversight into the system. The CDC reported 24.5K homocides in 2020 [0], so one company's EDRs represented 6X this figure. I find it difficult to believe that each and every one of those 164K represented

Hmm? MySQL is perhaps the most popular open source database when looking at # users served. Uber, Facebook, Twitter, all use it as their underlying data store. I'd say it's _far_ from "titanic", even if Postgres is quite

"century defining" might be too much hyperbole given we've had two world wars in the last 103 years, but certainly from the perspective of Facebook, Covid and Ukraine have been perhaps the largest crises they've seen sin

I don't think any of these skirmishes have ever come close to an existential threat to either party. If things ever come to that, I have little doubt that nukes would be used. Principles, treaties, and ideals tend to go out the window

It depends heavily on the company and the specific team/org. Where I'm at, this behavior will more likely get the manager PIP'd for not being inclusive and fostering a healthy team dynamic. Manager wants to hire across time z

That's fair, I missed that. In that case it sounds like the comparison itself was flawed by comparing two devices in such different perf envelopes. Nevertheless, it's not a great first showing.

Can't speak to AWS, but hop on Glassdoor/Blind to get general style tips. FAANG typically have very structured interviews, and knowing that structure can give you a big boost.

Alas, I now realize this was not in an official statement, but merely reporting by the WSJ. I'll edit my comment to make that clear.

We see here another example of why Valve is investing so heavily into Linux and Steam Deck. * Sony is focused on their PlayStation walled garden. * Microsoft is consolidating more resources around Game Pass and the Xbox store. * Mobile is a

I don't see the same issues. 1. It's been reported that Kotick will leave once the acquisition is finalized (i.e. when MS actually owns the company). If and when that doesn't happen, _then_ I'll join in on the criticism.

Survivorship bias may explain why these events are so vivid in people's minds, but when the bar is that _there should be no survivors at all_ (i.e. no catastrophes), the fact that there _are_ survivors with which to form a bias is in

They wouldn't have to actually fake scientific data - they'd just release everything else they were working on, omit the problematic files, and go "see? we showed you everything - there's nothing to see here!". Time

Very true. That's why I said social and economic policy doesn't _necessarily_ equate. There's a connection, but not 1:1. Like all states, Texas wastes more than enough money for it be a consistent position to simultaneously s

Liberal social politics doesn't necessarily equate to liberal economic politics. As highly paid engineers tend to also be affected by high taxes, etc. it's possible we'll see a move towards liberal social policies (i.e. abort
