Must depend on the org and how you do it. My personal experience is that if you are open and up-front with going to a competitor, they'll cut your access and pay you for the remaining time left on your resignation…
"The biggest roofing company in my state, Salazar roofing, is American owned and operated." <--- This is a big part of what's happening. Most people screaming about how 'Americans' won't do jobs like farming or…
I can only speak from my layman's understanding of US law. In the US, there's a doctrine prosecutorial discretion. Basically the police and prosecutors can choose whether to arrest and charge someone for a crime. >…
Largely a distinction without a difference. The fact they have money is what gives them the power to say no. - Someone asking for a meeting/to connect? If you have money, people come to you; so it's easy to say no to…
When talking about screw-ups on AWS, public incident reports try to obfuscate and spin the Hell out of issues that boil down to "really, really stupid configuration issue". They owned it. That is more than can be said…
Thanks for posting this. I'm really impressed with the transparency Twilio showed in actually admitting to having such a silly, silly bucket policy. Not impressed that it was there in the first place; but that should go…
Never heard of this in my organization. Have heard whispers of it in some corners, but not from anyone currently employed by Amazon.
This is why I've always felt Robinhood is evil. It is trading platform that combines 1.) user engagement/gamification with 2.) targeting a core userbase of young adults that are both financially unstable and…
>"There is some truth to the metaphor, but I wonder if it’s doing more harm than good." In my experience, whether the metaphor does more harm than good really depends on the individual patient. When faced with the…
I'm not a lawyer, but it strikes me as weird that police can use illegally obtained information as evidence in investigations. Isn't that fruit from a poisoned tree?
Kinda like how Amazon acquired CloudEndure, improved the service, and lowered cost by 80%? They really broke that. /s Full disclosure: I work at AWS. Not on CloudEndure or anything relating to pricing. But come on.
One of the more genius (and nefarious) moves American industry has made is to switch the narrative on environmentalism from large organizations (corporations, the government, etc.) as polluters to individuals.[1] Can…
That seems like a lot of effort to address the symptoms, not the disease. The root issue is the user. Get rid of the user and you don't have to worry about all these half-measures.

Definitely get what you're saying, but knowing things unfortunately doesn't mean putting that knowledge into use. I don't know if the guy whose dog ate his homework actually did the homework. But I know that as a system…
Pizzagate != Epstein Leaking Podesta's email spawned a conspiracy theory that high-ranking Democrats were a part of a satanic child abuse and traffic ring. It was specifically partisan. Meanwhile there are multiple…
Python works for a large swath of issues, and is much easier to learn. That's the point of it. With Python, you can more easily move from a purely syntactical focus to actually programming. If you need to go into lower…
It's a water bottle
This is overly charitable. Zoom isn't learning from mistakes and making improvements that the market demands. It's providing a feature it said it already had. Zoom knew E2EE was something the market demanded, so it lied…
One thing people have to keep in mind when running these kinds of tools is they make tons of API calls. Depending on how you have things set up, use these tools can drastically increase your CloudTrail bill. Also,…
What IP restrictions? Must be different in other orgs. But I've never run into any IP restriction whatsoever.
AWS does have lower skilled internships; at least certain populations. At least in Premium Support. For example, AWS has a program while they'll take military vets and teach them the tech to work in Premium Support. And…
Moved from central Texas to Dallas about a year ago. Wife drives an hour out of her way just to shop at HEB because fuck Kroger. P.S. Dallas is a shithole.
Not to be glib, the difference between $1k on the check and $1k expensed doesn't make a difference if you're well paid. If you're considering how it'd impact your tax bracket, it doesn't matter to you. But for the…
