    Expect the same from Amazon.

  • Not sure why the down votes for the article, maybe the article was updated after you read it but these were listed:

    "DataByCloud Access — Posed as a productivity or security-related tool while secretly harvesting session tokens.

    Tool Access 11 — Intercepted authentication data and blocked access to administrative and security settings.

    DataByCloud 1 — Exfiltrated authentication cookies to attacker-controlled servers.

    DataByCloud 2 — A variant with extended persistence and administrative interference capabilities.

    Software Access — Enabled bidirectional session hijacking and long-term account takeover. "

  • Parents, would you take a bullet for your children? People with parents still alive: How would you feel if your parents died protecting your life?

  • Taking a bullet is much easier than many challenges parents have to face, take on, bear or navigate for their children. A bullet, presumably, would be fast to suffer and/or die from.

  • Drones are the industry in the last 6 months. It's just beginning.

  • What are your technology mispredictions?

    Jump

  • They've not even started for most of the domestic and consumer uses. They're only just scratching the surface of commercial and military application.

    In 30 years people will have subscriptions to a drone service that will take x# of packages for them within their city/geography per month/year with weight tiers. Etc. errands and single use car trips and commercial trips in the last mile will drastically decrease.

    The skies will never be as they are again. The generation growing up right now will be the last to have been able to look up at the vast expanse without some buzzing. Whirring distraction.

  • It's because when so much money/power has pushed so long for people to make decisions based on money and not logic, we've now arrived at the point where even "the emperor's new clothes" type moments can't rein in the insanity; executives are bonused off this garbage and most employees who do know better--thanks to orgs' own internal propaganda and structures--have given up caring and just publish the garbage and clock out(as they should).

  • What's your favorite movie that is in a language which you do not speak?

    Jump

  • I would enter "memories of murder". It goes toe to toe with Rear Window as one of the best suspense movies ever made, and MOM would go on my top 50 in any language any genre.

  • I think "natural" was determined in court to hold jo required quality, or be free from artificial, man-made or modified elements. So wholly opposite the standard meaning of the word.

    They always come for language first.

  • The weight has changed much more in sizing than height is likely to since it's easy to gain/lose weight compared to gaining or losing height; it's why I mentioned my percentiles. The links seemed like decently recent data so you wouldn't expect someone in my percentiles to be so strangely missized unless sizing was just flat wrong or targeted to certain body shapes in the last 10-ish years.

    My basic experience and data seems to point to height determining size much less than weight now does, which for those of us not rapidly changing weights puts us in a strange spot. There are also many more different global clothes manufacturers than there used to be I'd guess and maybe the newer ones still have no idea how to size for new geographies/cultures? Just guessing.

    Is it common for coworkers to turn someone into an informal spokesperson if they believe the higher-ups favor that person?

    Jump

  • Your co-workers are triangulating. It may be for a combination of various reasons:

    1. They have tried and failed in the past
    2. They are scared of rejection, retribution, etc. consciously or unconsciously and it's easy to volunteer someone else
    3. You are really charismatic and/or great at your job and they think you have new ideas that will work

    Triangulation is used to avoid conflict. Many people come to others in life, looking to have that person take on yhrir problems through triangulation. It's generally not effective: it disempowers the requestor/initiator by giving responsibility for resolution of the issue to someone else, who may not before likely to solve it, and can but actually make things much worse.

    Encourage them to see how they can play a role in solving the problem. Do it together if you want to help but don't be their "superman".

  • Great article, brave and correct. Good luck getting the same leaders who blindly believe in a magical trend for this or next quarters numbers; they don't care about things a year away let alone 10.

    I work in HR and was stuck by the parallel between management jobs being gutted by major corps starting in the 80s and 90s during "downsizing" who either never replaced them or offshore them. They had the Big 4 telling them it was the future of business. Know who is now providing consultation to them on why they have poor ops, processes, high turnover, etc? Take $ on the way in, and the way out. AI is just the next in long line of smart people pretending they know your business while you abdicate knowing your business or employees.

    Hope leaders can be a bit braver and wiser this go 'round so we don't get to a cliffs edge in software.
