No one thinks this is actually secure, it's security theater. The thing is, the cost of identity theft of consumers to credit reporting companies is less than the cost to actually adopt secure methods to judge one's credit.

USB 3.X / USB-C / Thunderbolt 3, all of it together is confusing enough for those technical, add marketing speak to the mix and it's just going to end up with a mish mosh of different words that mean absolutely nothing and te

No it can't. We're literally talking about monitoring and capturing packets for data loss prevention, something that can't be done if the packets are encrypted.

There's a whole IT market segment around TLS decryption for corporate LAN. Basically corporate MITM that will decrypt TLS at the gateway / firewall, and with currently used TLS standards, will then re encrypt the traffic back to

There are orgs with thousands of corporate G Suite accounts. I mean if you are in the 10k or larger size, running your services internally might make sense but for the rest of us, G Suite should work well enough for corporate email.

How do we know that this isn't the case here and said hacker went after those records as well? This all seems like an inside job and thus even offline backups are at risk if a disgruntled employee wanted to go after it.

It be really great if they allowed G Suite admins to have fine grained control over what is and isn't SPAM in their own domain. Alas even that's subject to consumer Gmail spam filters.

by hsk0823 8y ago
You'd think so, but no even internal G Suite emails that never leave the domain, still subject to GMail's generic all users spam filters. And even as a paying user, you can't get out of them.

They introduced more stringent controls around what constitutes spam.

by hsk0823 8y ago
Never gonna happen, the big G knows the best for all. Even G Suite business users have to deal with the lack of controls here, even if we whitelist our own domain, things can get flagged by the larger Gmail spam filters that G Suite users

I say that most sushi restaurants in N America go by using sushi grade fish that was probably processed by a fish monger, not the chef. Aging fish really comes into play for high end sushi, where the chef is after some chemical reactions ca

I think the Peter principle, the idea that people are promoted to until they are incompetent in their roles, comes into play. What worked for you to get to the job isn't necessarily going to work for you to succeed in the job, I agree

I think that depends on what you think his new job actually is, and if that actually aligns with what they think their new job is. Every manager has different ways to lead, every person has different behaviors that make them more or less li

You keep calling it a public offering, but the reality is, a public offering is selling parts of your company for cash, aka a stock, ownership has it's privileges, without those privileges, you aren't selling anything to the publi

There's three ways to raise money. You can finance it (debt) or you can sell ownership (equity), or the last one, people can randomly throw money at you and expect nothing in return. The last method of raising funds are donations, th

For those on the outside, especially outside the tech scene all together, looking in, a multi million dollar series A for a company of under 10 employees looks like easy money, compared to say someone trying to run their mom and pop retail

Very true, my mind was stuck on tech VC since the 70s, but yeah the idea of buying equity in a venture isn't new.

Define reasonable because to the VC taking the large risk, 5% YoY isn't the goal.

The organization does, it's a non profit, it gets reinvested into the team coffers to be spent. There's no dividend or anything like that.

It's a scam because the equity have any decision making power. It's still controlled by a small group of people aka the board of directors, the stock structure is setup that fans could not mount a hostile takeover. It's cal

Of course. That's part of raising capital, is funding employee salary. Of course it's not a "they're set", it's a market rate salary given the size of the company and the role you do for the company. What&#x2

The Packers model works because it's basically a scam, no one in Green Bay actually has any say over what the Packers do day to day but it feels good for Packer fans to say they own a part of the team. There's emotional buy in, i

Careful what you wish for, startups have people who will wear as many different hats as required to make it work. Corporate life may have had a really well defined job role, that may not be true in any startup you join.

VC money is not free, there's a real cost to it, it's written on the term sheet. VC money is relatively easy money to obtain versus trying to grind for the same amount of capital yourself, but there's certainly a cost to any

Lots of good questions. Maybe a primer on the relationship between a VC and a founder would be helpful. Say you are a founder, you've got a killer idea, you think you can change the world with this idea but you need capital to bring i
