I have a friend who’s a new PM (in scaled agile). He isn’t up on expectation management.

We have a process where we request data from another agency which takes “from 7 seconds to 12 days”

And of course he tells people that. And of course they hear “7 seconds”

I have told him that if the SLA is 12 days, say “less than 12 days”

You can keep secrets from the future. Future decryption won’t help government see what you did in the now, the logs don’t store the encrypted payload, only the end points and the user/ip

Your ISP sees the connection to news.usenetserver.com and if they cared could get a court order to get your data from them. They can compel you to release your username and password.

You also need to protect yourself against future law and enforcement

I know that government prosecutions for fraud against government use IP addresses

The IP address identifies the company or home the fraud was done from, the account the money went to identifies the individual

If breaking the law and able to afford to make it difficult for prosecutors, it’s probably best to make it difficult for the prosecutors, we may have an activist pro copyright holder government in future and logs are forever (or 5 years)

Is your home machine, your phone, better protected than the VPN servers? I bet you’re not as good at IT security as the IT security staff VPN companies hire

If your threat model includes nation state actors, you’re best off not using networked computers

Your bracketed comment: that is the normal way of comment boards, I like intensifier comments like this. It’s the “yes and” of the internet

Nebula

Fun thing about that service is that it was started by a group of YouTube creators who started by making an advertising service that was designed to share profit fairly (as opposed to their competition which aimed to extract as much money from advertisers and as much as they could from YouTube channels)

After the adpocalypse they started a competing video service with similar ethics (Nebula)

If Simon Whistler put his channels on nebula, I’d hardly use YouTube for anything but music

This is the Wendover video on the subject

As much as people hate Musk, Tesla is unusual in that they allow you to opt out of all connectivity. Get no updates, send no video, audio, or data to the company

It’s off to the side of the very specific sign

Australian here, I’m happy for America to call pickup trucks “trucks”. They’re closer to a light commercial vehicle than they are to a ute.

Aside from all that, EN.US is their language. They can use it how they like. It’s just a shame their culture is so dominant that it can’t leave EN.AU alone

As

That looks like an oddly capitalised “as”

That really gives the reason it’s acceptable to use apostrophes when pluralising that sort of case

It’s a common rock pun, saying granite instead of granted.

And that’s the other part. In defining us as woke, they define themselves as sleepwalking

I like that the article points out that the only reason police are acting against the suppliers of the ketamine that killed Perry is because Perry is famous

I guess people notice that nothing’s done when regular people die of an overdose

Australia has three mobile phone networks, so presumably in a different trenchcoat

But really in Australia the power is in the mining and fossil fuel industry, and especially in coal which is both.

One party wanted a carbon tax which would hurt mining (though less now than then as they have switched to electric everything due to reduced cost of solar and batteries) and fossil fuels and the press and television media went hard against that party and it’s leader (who was thoroughly vilified), causing our worst ever parliament to be elected at the next election

If they didn’t properly test validation I would complain about that, what that regularly miss is a test showing correct function for each major use case

As a PO I’m usually asking QA for some tests that actually show the product meets the requirements

There might be 50 pages proving it rejects bad input, and nothing showing it can successfully handle a perfectly correct case. We seem bad at training testers.

According to the comment that claims it has the solution the instructions rock is push is rock, you can push it until rock is win

When it happens the repair is replacement of the screen. This is one of many reasons to check the repaiability of a device before deciding which to spend your money on

That’s the risk, but there’s plenty of urinary tract and probably plenty of urine to flush out any pathogens
