Forensics. Attackers use and sometime re-use domains, ips and code to recon, attack and exfil data. Those items may have been used before. All the attributes related to each of those items are cross referenced. You might find a server in this breach was associated with an email address that was used to register a domain in the current breach. That email now loosely ties the two breaches and actors together.

That area is close to where the San Diego long range fishes for big 200lb plus yellowfin and wahoo. It may be ling liners doing the same.
rrhyne··on In Defence of the Technical Interview
You may have had some bad whiteboard sessions. Ours are are a working session WITH the candidate not against the candidate.
rrhyne··on In Defence of the Technical Interview
We conduct it as a working session. Our primary goals are to determine ability to reason about problems, apply the proper technique (not syntax), the ability to communicate with us about what they are doing clearly and to get a sense of how they work during the planning phase of a project. We are looking for a connection with the prospect more than a complete technical solution.

Dealing with stress well is a valuable skill. Many of those that do not manage emotions well become toxic. I personally would let a few great engineers who cannot find balance through tough deadlines, un-paved roadmaps, and tricky social situations find jobs elsewhere than hire people who cannot maintain their emotions.

Palantir and Spacex are some of the few ‘startups’ to win government contracts and they had to sue the government to get them.
rrhyne··on Sourcehut's spartan approach to web design
Super late reply, apologies. On this https://man.sr.ht page, giving .event items 1rem padding reduces crowding and makes the elements. Start doing that to the other elements as well, pre, etc. They should all be the same so the gutters are the same.

Setting .btn padding to .5rem .75rem balances the hight of the type vs. the edge of the button a bit, making the buttons both more 'substantial' and moving the harsh btn edge away from the type, which makes it easier to read.

Add margin-top 2.5rem to your h* elements to space your content out.

rrhyne··on Sourcehut's spartan approach to web design
The philosophy is good, but IMO, the lack of attention to margins and the weight of key content elements is hurting the readability of the designs.

Your brakes example is typical of someone who was never taught to work on their own vehicle.

Others have pointed out that it is not dangerous, so I’ll point out that it is emensely rewarding to do this kind of work yourself. Enlist a competent buddy and give it a try.

He wouldn’t/couldn’t have swam continuously for 72 hours. He would have floated, treaded water, etc. the wetsuit kept him warm.
rrhyne··on Tesla ‘on Autopilot’ slams into parked fire truck on freeway
In boats we have had autopilot for decades. It takes the boat on a straight path to a point via GPS only. You must pay attention and correct course for obsticals in your path. Simple, logical and efficient.

rrhyne··on Update on Stock Options/RSUs Vesting Issue
I believe it's a deferral on paying taxes on your 'earnings' from the options purchased, not a deferral on exercising.
rrhyne··on Is your city getting ready for autonomous vehicles?
I like this point. My concern is people using autonomous vehicles to commute.
rrhyne··on Is your city getting ready for autonomous vehicles?
IMO, making it easier to drive will increase the number of people who commute. There isn’t enough space to add extra lanes to facilitate the increase in traffic these vehicles will cause. I think we should be working on other transportation problems.

As a father, I agree completely, and think you shouldn't have been down voted, so here's an upvote.

If I were an evil VP tasked with creating this loop hole, I'd tell my project manager we needed a configurable system that let us control emissions for our intneral testing environments or some other plausible and legal requirement. I'd keep the knowledge of the system obscure and communication between dev, testing and deployment sparse. I'd then have only one person change the configuration before deployment. I'm sure it could be arranged so that no single engineer would realize that evil configuration was released and if they did, it could be excused as a mistake.

Cool, but you could improve the user workflow. I have 2 airports tops I could leave out of here in San Diego. It doesn't help me at all that there are fares from Seattle to xxxxxxx. I recommend you ask me to enter my location and show me only relevant results.

Looks really good. I usually judge a library by it's data table. This one seems surprisingly featured.

> The tax bill will come due when the employee leaves the company; so this doesn't really help a lot.

I don't see where this is the case. In fact, it's against the spirit of the original proposal. Can you point to where you read this?
