Have you looked into Whistle (https://www.whistle.com/)? It is intended for dogs but it might have the functionality you are looking for. Good luck!

There is this condition

> Recognizing that reality, the Commission’s proposed order will follow Rellas even if he leaves Drizly. Specifically, Rellas will be required to implement an information security program at future companies if he moves to a business collecting consumer information

I'm not aware of any other decree following the CEO to other companies.

I'm not sure who downvoted you. It is a good question. McDonald's and other consumer goods type companies are not sanctioned, so the company can sell its assets. For that matter they could continue to operate as normal in Russia if they choose.

Sounds like you need to change the intent of your 1:1s. I am senior at a big company (managing teams of teams) and my manager is a senior executive. I meet with him every other week and that is most of the contact I have with him. That works, as he trusts me to execute on his strategic objectives, and I like it like that. Our 1:1s are very purposeful. I inform him on things I think he should know, ask him for support where I need him, and remind him of my career aspirations to get opportunities that move me in that direction. That's it. It ends up as a nice conversation and gets us both what we need. It sounds like you could move your meetings in that general direction.

Not to mention low probability of natural disasters: Earthquakes, tornados, wild fire, hurricanes, etc.

There no longer exists any real debate. Effectiveness of the vaccines have waned over time but as stated in the article "Our findings support the conclusion that COVID-19 vaccines remain the most important tool to prevent infection and death."

> These companies can afford good cybersecurity but don't want to spend more money than the damages they would incur from a successful attack.

A bit off your "real" point: No company should ever spend more mitigating a risk than the potential cost they could incur from the risk. That is just good business, but the reality is that companies generally won't spend more on cybersecurity than their peers (either as a percentage of revenue or percentage of IT spend). Whether that is the proper balance for a risk/spend calculation is the real topic.

The problem is that we can't accurately calculate the probability of a cyber event and the cost impact of that event. So the company is stuck waiting for an attack on themselves or one of their cohorts so they can adjust.

I'm in Information Security at a large enterprise. We look for this kind certification, but it isn't required. Not having it though will lead to further scrutiny (lots more questions to answer). I would recommend getting it if you can, particularly if you are offering a service that is hosting the customer's data and/or is managing some part of their IT operations.

Bolstering the recommendation is the fact that the proliferation of supply chain attacks recently is adding pressure for companies to perform more thorough diligence on their vendors. The certification helps check all the boxes.

> If you won't trust the voting public enough to give them the whole truth and instead treat them like blubbering fools, how can you--with a straight face--pretend that their ability to pick leaders or vote on actual issues is a correct way to run a country?

Mr. Politician replies, "I trust the individuals that voted for me. They're smart. Its the public in general that can't be trusted."

I agree with your sentiment. I was 51 when I last applied for a job at a new company. Initially I was getting very little interest in my resume. Then I cut out the first 10 years of my career from my resume (and LinkedIn), and downgraded the oldest position listed from a Senior Lead to just a developer -- essentially making me appear 40 instead of 50. Within a couple of weeks I started getting responses.

And it is not like my work from 1990-2000 wasn't valuable. I worked on a complex large scale analytics system in the early 90's and migrated to large scale web-based applications in the later half of the decade. I'm proud of that work and have some interesting lessons and stories from that time period, but they are telltale of my age and were working against me.

From the Tweet, "Was just on phone with someone who works for FB who described employees unable to enter buildings this morning to begin to evaluate extent of outage because their badges weren’t working to access doors."

Thank you for that well written article. As a curious techie, but someone unfamiliar with the subject, I found it approachable and easy to understand despite the complex topic. Not an easy task -- well done!

I also own a Boox Air and I agree with everything you wrote. It is a device built for specific purposes. I get a ton of use from mine. It sits next to me all day for note taking, and I have my Kindle, Instapaper, and Safari Books apps for reading. I don't use it for anything else but that isn't the intent of the device. If you are looking for something all purpose, as you say, look for something other than eink.

I agree with you but you can't just throw around the phrase "sure it costs some $" as if that isn't a driving force in everything a big company does. My company is going hard into Azure and I'm making the same recommendations as you suggest, but it is a hard sell precisely because of the cost.

Yes, they more or less invented the concept of just in time delivery, but they also suffered supply chain issues after the Fukushima earth quake. After the latter incident they made the risk calculation that inventory of some parts was worth the expense.

Are you really intending to condone illegal activity? Just because their targeting "wealthy" companies? That is like condoning a mugger because he is working in a rich neighborhood and not targeting the impoverished.

No matter your technical proficiency, you are a lousy hire. I do not want a developer that is solely interested in work that improves their skills. These projects contribute to the success of the business in one way or another. If you are not invested in understanding why that project is funded and what it will accomplish you will not do the job as well as someone who is engaged and only has half your skills.

Great link. Thanks

He has no background in science. Why would you listen to him?

Brilliant! I hope it does make you rich. It certainly made me laugh.

This is a more important market indicator then your comment implies. I work for a very large CPG and certain brands, such as food staples are crushing it, but impulse type products are really struggling. With uncertainty around when we return to "normal" companies such as PepsiCo are scrambling to figure out how best to connect directly to the consumer to maintain market share. CPGs are investing a ton of resources testing and learning in this space.

I haven't commented in this community in a long time, but as you all are entrepreneurs it is worth noting that this moment is an opportunity to disrupt 100 year-old entrenched CPG enterprises as the supply chain to the consumer is in disarray.

Please do not downvote marcoperaza's post because you disagree with it. That goes against the spirit and intent of this site. Make your own argument to counter instead.

Way too permissive of a privacy policy for my tastes. I get that Kefi wants to make money but when you register for Ripple you are giving them access to a ton of information.

> When you register with KEFI LABS LLC and use the Application, you provide (a) your name and Facebook ID; and (b) game-related information, such as when you create a game, post a comment, or take a picture of someone in the Application. Take note that the Application requires your[sic] access to your Facebook account, which you provide to (a) provide your name, (b) your friends who have also installed the application, and (c) your profile picture.

Privacy matters at this moment in time for few reasons. There is little risk to an individual's rights due to profiling based on available information (which is the result of no or limited privacy). That doesn't mean there is no risk, but for most of us the risk is negligible.

However, in the not-so-distant future it will be a much bigger deal. As data about our personal lives becomes more accessible and prolific, especially with the growth of IoT devices, and we get better at those big data profiling techniques we will see wider uses of profiling beyond nation security and marketing purposes. It is not hard to imagine a future where universities profile potential students based on available data and eliminate those deemed unfit (without ever looking at an application). Or employers doing similar things. Or insurance companies basing rates on profiling information.

Reasonable scenarios become easy to imagine with the end result that discrimination becomes commonplace. Discrimination for those that listen to a certain type of music, or use a certain type of grammar, or view certain websites. That is a dangerous future and we are heading down that path. We, as a society, need to figure out how to address this before it is a problem, and paramount to successfully thwarting that type of future is to ensure we maintain our privacy. That is why privacy matters.

At the time I'm writing this all posts are complaining about the presentation of the site... yes it sucks, but the product looks really cool. It appears to be a combination of a camera and projection tool allowing the user to add real objects, such as a coffee mug, to the projected image and have it added to that image. Then user can use their hands to digitally move things around and otherwise manipulate the image.

That is really cool, but I can't help but think how limited its uses are. The real-world objects need to be relatively small (like a coffee cup, not a car) and you are limited by taking pictures from the top-down angle. However, that kind of interaction is really natural and would be easier to learn than say Photoshop.

I have the HTC One Mini[1]. It is small with a nice screen, camera and battery life. It isn't going to impress anyone but I can use it comfortably and keep it in my pocket.

I have to appreciate that I never stood a chance of getting the .com domain of my last name. It is #6 on the list.

Do some short term contract work.

That sounds like what Max Butler was busted for back in the late 1990's when he wrote a script to patch BIND[1]. It's a great story BTW.
