National security has always beaten First Amendment (and many other rights.) I love watching TikTok but even i know how this will shake out. Now the question will be, who will rush to fill in this void? Will Bliesky release short form video

I've been told there are two places which value experience: 1. A large organization where they have enough people with decades of knowledge to recognize what that is worth. 2. A small startup as head or lead on some domain where they n

Good to see this happening. I remember sitting down with a Google engineer who told us that even though our ad code looked suspiciously like we had copied it from Google itself (we had) that one part of it would only work for Google on Goog

I feel this. I got the "you look older than your profile pic" comment during an interview last year. That one was fun. Dude wanted to know if I could even code anymore.

This is a regulatory issue. There are far better lighting used in EU and from the same auto manufacturers. They have pushed for these in the US but the regulations are slow.

No, you might not and here's why. I worked at a place that told us we'd be PiP'ing people on our teams that had been selected for us. The condition was some would be on a 2 week, some 4 week, and some 6 week so it all wouldn&

You are prompted to confirm an external group being added as admin. Someone purposefully ignored it. Good luck. You're trying to do the right thing but if they lawyer you, remind them they added you not you added them.

Alan, nice to see you on the front cover of HN. Life has been good for you post-Arena, eh? Most of those critical of what you wrote haven't had an article like this happen. Don't sweat it.

This should be something added to an AWS Security Hub check, e.g. do you have Route53 pointed to an unregistered domain. Otherwise, I can't find fault with AWS at all. Now I have to review our domains on Monday.

I don't have the time to read and research exactly what happened. I see you settled for a large sum. Thus, I don't believe you. We've all been burned by companies that claim one thing and do the exact opposite. It doesn'

I believe this. Most of the "security" people i run into don't know jack. Incompetence is ripe and this sector will only grow. Last external IT audit I had to explain to the auditors what a password manager was. They'd n
