  • YES! This was a huge deal that what a lucky mishap rather than a sign of good security.

    Btw, Jia Tan is an awesome software dev that you should hire. /s

    We’re all completely pwned. That’s the only way to feel ok for me. My info has been compromised tons of times and no one notified me. I just accept it. I practice good security and I know that some of the companies on the other side don’t. I can’t change that.

    Have you accepted that you’re gonna die? If yes, you should adopt this attitude. If not, I’m sorry that you’re so afraid of the natural process. Try to be healthy. Try to be secure. Accept that you’re gonna die or get pwned or both. It’s a lot healthier mindset (IMO).



  • Good!

    Remember how Amazon had cities compete to host data centers pre-pan and they were full of shit because they weren’t the economic uplift they promised? It happened. You can find it if you search. I’m old and it’s getting late for me, so you’ll have to find it.

    It’s not a secret. It’s kinda like how that shitty town in Wisconsin (I think?) city council ignored their constituents about a Foxconn factory that doesn’t make the shit they said they’d make. Trump lied about it in his first term. Why bother now, you can just lock up your enemies.

    There was a great podcast ep about it from Reply All before they went out of business for some terrible (allegedly) work practices. The townsfolk were pissed off.
