I think you hit the nail on the head. Elected officials unfortunately don't have that much incentive to hire the "cheapest" company as the debt will be incurred over the next 100 years while they will be long gone. They…
if it is an instance on the cloud, GCP and AWS let you define ServiceAccounts that get populated on the Instance at boot time. you should only let the instance access the secret it requires.
It makes sense at scale. If you are a company of two there are probably better solutions. At scale, you can very granularly define policies for each secret. When a secret is accessed, it is done so through a user or…
If you use Vault, you should use it as an RBAC system as well. That means that each application got a ServiceAccount (SA) and each user got a username/password. Based on your identity, you get access to specific secrets…
My issue with serverless though is that you need to refactor your code to make it work specifically for it. If you don't start to think serverless on day one it gets more and more difficult to convert to it down the…
you make the right point. A lot of people see this as youtube censorship, but the podcast was also available in its purest form: through a RSS decentralized feed. Now it moves to a walled garden with content unavailable…
I said this in another post about Grubhub but similarly to this article I really don't get it. Those apps are all 25%+ expensive than ordering take out directly with the restaurant, they screw the restaurants and all…
I don't get those delivery companies (Doordash, Grubhub, etc). Even with a first-timer promotion, a meal would end up being close to 25% more expensive than ordering directly with the restaurant. I'm happy to order…
This must be one of the most misunderstood pieces of popular science. The Coriolis effect is WAY too weak to affect the direction the water is flowing. Typically the way the water moves initially and the shape of the…
If you are an engineer those type of stories should make you rethink your usage of Google Chrome. Chrome having so many users empower them to implement those type of nonsensical policies. As said in other comments it is…
Is there a list somewhere of all the apps importing the spyware Facebook SDK?
you are assuming that the Spotify app is not simply handing that data over. I would not be surprised if there is a financial agreement in place.
or would it rather be: Airbnb is a huge VC backed company. They need to grow 10x at all cost in order to justify their valuation?
Belgium would be a good candidate.
I'm in the same situation. That whole process makes me feel like a mindless cog about to enter a well oiled machine without the possibility to question some of those nonsensical steps.
This is one of the saddest thing I read today and a good reminder that life is always finite.
I will take Europe over the US where my private data is being sold by Facebook and Google to the highest bidder without any single law protecting me. Sure some of those laws are a pain but they are needed checks and…

Linux user here. I have tried them all and Zoom is not perfect but is multiple levels above any of the competitors. Don't even get me started with WebEx.
Almost all problems on video conferences are on the user's end. What Zoom excel at is to mitigate most of those user issues by trying to figure out all the corner cases that the user might be in.
At that point it is more a PR play than really reusing the energy.
We use Google Meet and it struggles to keep up with meetings with more than 10 people. It seems that the common hack is to ask each attendee to disable their camera. On the plus side, it is the only one that reliably…
The issue is that WebEx might just work for you, but if there is one person for whom it doesn't work then that is the limiting factor. What people struggle to understand is that Zoom made it easy accross ALL operating…
Because we are talking about a negligible amount of energy. It would take more energy to build, install and maintain the equipment that would be able to do that.
I have had the same experience in the past. 2 phone interviews that never called and the recruiter feeling sorry and claiming this is "exceptional".
