> "Most of AdGuard's staff relocated in 2022" So a lot of your staff remain in Russia? If you've still got most of your devs working in Russia, and it looks like that from your github projects, I'm not sure what

Not really. If 5 or 6 more regional banks fail next week due to depositors seeking the safety of big banks there won’t be enough money to guarantee deposits for more banks. If they didn’t guarantee the SVB depositors that outcome would have

Watching growing startups hire a junior data scientist to analyse their new mountain of data is very entertaining. One of their first findings is their revenue/growth seems to be dropping… “we need someone to focus on growth/reven

2+2=5. VC’s look super active right now because they’re fighting for a small number of solid investments. LP’s have turned off the money taps and fake investment marks no longer pay the bills. They need startups that will actually generate

To paraphrase another comment on this; if I have to trust the server for Matrix E2EE to work, why don’t I just use Slack? The whole point of E2EE is so you don’t have to trust the server. And a “warning” that says something like “your group

This is the issue distilled. And the retort seems to be “but we give a warning”. Awfully weak stuff for a cypherpunk-ish protocol. The CCC crowd that rabidly hates anything centralised, thinks it’s insecure and corporate, are probably havin

What if someone already in the group adds a new device? That would hardly cause a flurry or surprise, it’s a common thing to happen. But using Matrix it could also mean whom ever controls the server could be reading all your messages. And t

I’m absolutely astonished that anyone trusts Telegram for their communication. Both on a technological, ownership, operational and geopolitical basis. Their “agreement” with the Russians government is beyond sketchy, they’re 100% authoritar

1Password. The largest feature disparity is 1password is designed and built by competent engineers. The history of breaches and technical mistakes Lastpass has made over the years is amazing for a tech company let alone a password manager.

There’s still not been an “official call” on this either by Poland or the US. And Ukraine still insists they weren’t their missiles and insisting they have access to the investigation. It’s very peculiar. My personal view. They were Russian

Improving UI/UX around to clarify the SMS function is insecure is almost impossible. Google did research around SSL cert warnings a few years back, their conclusion was that people don’t read and just dismiss warnings, no mater what UI
