Mandatum··on Ask HN: How's your job search going in this current economy?
Good. Snapped something up that met my salary expectations after 60 days of searching hard. By hard I mean I abused LinkedIn, I messaged everyone I knew in every company I saw that was actively hiring and asked if they’d refer. Then I messaged everyone else letting them know I was on the market.

Then I attended meetups when I wasn’t applying.

I worked harder getting a job than I am working this current job.

Mandatum··on Bruce Schneier: On the Cybersecurity Jobs Shortage
That’s because you’re misunderstanding the purpose of CISSP. It’s about risk mitigation and governance, not 0days and buffer overflows.

If you want that, hire a hacker.

Mandatum··on Atlassian prepares to abandon on-prem server products
DC is deprecated unless you’re FedRAMP (which they still haven’t got). Good luck getting that if you’re not F500.

Once they get the government tick off approval they’ll kill off hosted versions completely.

Last I heard they hired some guy to help with their FedRAMP certification, then got found out for blackmailing his previous employer (I guess HR didn’t Google him during hiring): https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/it-worker-jai...

Thankful GitLab EE exists. What a nightmare for any companies who deal with M&A, finance, healthcare, etc. Sure, you can trust cloud providers not to get hacked. But I’d sooner have the option to unplug the Ethernet.
Mandatum··on Slack's Google Drive App can share your private Docs and Drive files
No shit.
Mandatum··on Is giving people cash working? Six months of Denver's Basic Income Project
You obviously have never lived with unstable people who often live just above the poverty line. There’s a reason why share houses and shelters don’t work.
Mandatum··on Delta finds fake jet aircraft engine parts with forged airworthiness documents
The best way to be sure is to fly in planes used by the US military. They don’t fuck around with their supply chains.

But then again, they also buy direct from factory and keep parts on hand for decades.

Waiting for the JS bot..
Mandatum··on Apple TV, now with more Tailscale
I live reading copy that’s obviously written by nerds. This is the least corporate announcement I’ve seen from a corporation in a long time.

No mention of how much they live trust and privacy or how they’re going to make your experience more delightful.

In Australia it is now against the law.
Mandatum··on Marc Benioff: “I don’t work well in an office”
Stewart Butterfield must be having a very heavy celebratory drink this evening, likely Suntory.

Your service doesn’t validate SPF. An invalid SPF (eg too many DNS lookups, invalid syntax) will result in all passes but creates a security risk.

Yes, from a marketing perspective this is fine. But you should warn about it.

Mandatum··on To make dishwashers great again? (2020)
The initial rinse cycle never heats water. Running hot will help.
Mandatum··on Ask HN: What’s Happening with WeWork?
Yeah, noticed a lot more older gen X, corporate types in them
Mandatum··on Ask HN: What’s Happening with WeWork?
Opposite in Australia.

Cheaper, nicer, more staff, better resourced at WeWork. However I think they’re definitely struggling with utilisation.

It’s always an empty gym. Which as someone who pays for the desk, I’m happy. But about 30-50% of the “occupied” offices and desks never have people in them, and the hot dealing area is always at about 20-30% capacity.

I don’t see the viability.

Mandatum··on Plans to cut speed limits ‘will significantly improve road safety' – minister
Same issues in New Zealand. Good roads capable of driving fast, but there’s too much traffic and they should have invested in infrastructure 30 years ago.
Mandatum··on Silicon Valley’s elites can’t be trusted with the future of AI
No shit. We need faster legislators. We need faster legal precedence. This shit needs to be prioritised in the courts.

Mandatum··on Can plastic recycling ever work?
That’s because it degrades each time you use it. There’s a reason the cheapest stuff comes in black, thick, low quality plastic containers. It’s because it’s just short of being processed into either astroturf or roads.

Some stuff gets re-manufactured 5 or 6 times. The majority gets manufactured once and ends up in landfill.

Glass, metal and standardised sizes is really the only way forward.

Can’t wait to hand over my passport and drivers license to some random person after security wearing a uniform and holding an iPad after I get off an 8 hour red-eye.

Surely nothing can go wrong.

Mandatum··on No way in or out of Burning Man after storm
That’s fine. Until you consider the inability to empty the portaloos.
Mandatum··on Chronic Pain: Finding Relief with the Benefits of Cannabis
People who say it doesn’t work don’t understand chronic pain management. It’s less about stopping the pain and more about making it bearable enough to forget about it.

Some pain you can’t stop. You can address the symptoms though.

Mandatum··on How to Start a Profitable Roasting Business
Content marketing done right.
Mandatum··on Astro: All-in-one web framework designed for speed
Most web applications are businesses reliant on income, which is also reliant on organic discovery and growth for new customers.

What a terribly written, quasi-science hit-piece.
Mandatum··on Permission.site (2016)
This is awesome.
Mandatum··on Scientists hit with massive bills after speaking at COVID-19 ‘webinars’
They do. You just won’t pay for it.

When you sign a mortgage or take out a loan and it’s all online, lenders will pay someone to come to your house, take a photo of you, verify it, and then video tape you signing.

It’s just not convenient.

Mandatum··on Tell HN: Upgrade your Metabase installation
It’ll be an RCE. If you are network isolated or have a proxy in front of it, you can take the weekend off.
Mandatum··on Tell HN: Upgrade your Metabase installation
Saw it on HN.

To all the data inside of it? Sure.

To all of the auth tokens and user creds? Why not.
