All those points OP raised as difficult - physical space, staffing, capex, etc. - and your response is “yeah, now do it twice”.
From observation my belief is that in-office work selects for slackers as equally as wfh work does, they just slack differently. One of our well respected product owners was always so very busy, with back to back…
The size of the monthly pay isn’t what is significant - having any nonzero amount is. The SSDI acceptance rate is lucky to hit 30%, typically takes multiple hearings/appeals to get a payout, and can be denied if the…
I would place a much higher significance on the reported mental health issues - it’s hard to get on disability in the US, and if you’re truly on $3k/month because you are unable to work, you have a serious disability.…
In the US I think there are varied state laws on what's legal and illegal in that area. This is obviously complicated by any employee agreement that you might've signed up for when you joined the company. I think the…
The Helpdesk didn't know until after the RIF happened as some of them lost their jobs too. But every fired employee will get some return-labeled boxes shipped over to them, and are asked to pack up their equipment &…
When my company did layoffs recently I got to peek behind the curtain a bit. It started with an all-hands video call from the CEO announcing the layoff. HR had loaded emails to send immediately following the call…
There are a few “accepted” ways of asking this. First, if you are truly the linchpin, you’re likely working over/above your position. So make the case that you are a rank N employee doing N+1 work. Alternatively, try…
> Also, education is a great way to ride out the current crappy job market. Don’t sleep on this. In 2008 I had a few friends go back for higher education rather than stay at/take low quality jobs. They graduated with…
And if you can't work due to your injury and are one of the many Americans who does not have paid time off, the best case for you is using FMLA to at least retain your job so you can work - but your absence won't be…
You are worried that an Amazon lawyer is going to contest your evidence in small claims court. You probably don’t need to be concerned: they’re unlikely to show, so you’ll just get summary judgement.
This format started in 2018 or 2019, I can’t recall which.
The US Army has made six hundred contributions to a list of ethnic slurs: http://wikiwho.ailef.tech/page/11014515 They appear as “PEO STAMIS” here, which appears to be an IT group?

If I was a betting man: some smaller fish in the Android ecosystem practiced exquisitely terrible key management outside an HSM, got burnt, and will have to slip KPMG or Deloitte an extra big kickback if they ever want…
No hand waving: what “one subtle thing” will this insider do to make this attack possible? I’m guessing FIPS 140-2 has already thought about it. HSMs are hardened against individual bad actors. Their threat model…
Are you familiar with the threat model an HSM is designed to counter?
I don’t know if there’s much to broadly learn here. I will say that it reflects very positively for Shopify: I can imagine plenty of companies downplaying the issue or trying to duck the payout by saying “not our code!”…
I’m reminded of the moral panic my parents generation had around televisions. And their parents generation had over serialized plays on the radio. And several generations removed, the panic over the printing press.
Pro tip: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/institutional_review_board/h... The breach notification to HHS typically comes from the covered entity. They often have the information on exactly what PHI was out there, how…
My favorite example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K3EpLn77JdQ In this case, the rules say that if a kickoff is handled first by a player who has established themselves as out of bounds, a penalty is assessed and the…
Would we ever know? A type II error in a criminal trial would be very hard to demonstrate, as the assumption is (should be!) that a defendant is innocent.
He really did a rather remarkable job for someone who had all of 10 seconds to realize that he was being interviewed on live television. I suspect a lot of people wouldn’t have managed to stay as cool as he did. I know…
Erlang’s formulas are incredibly applicable to things we work on today - and shockingly unknown to many developers. I’ve used them several times to show that a proposed system is mathematically impossible: “if the…
