I recall a statistic from about 10 years ago that computer forensic investigators in law enforcement burn out after two years due to the trauma of the images they are exposed to.
Large in-person classes you don't even have discussions. Some universities have lecture halls of 400-600 students, and you have to go ask a TA for help later in the week
> That's not dissimilar to the situation before the plague.
So I think you agree and are saying that it's the same?
> can create a GraphQL server and essentially ... have their app brought to its knees trying to fulfill an intentionally complicated query is kind of concerning
I've seen this denial of service attack against SQL/Relational databases as well, and I imagine if it triggers more read replicas, that a large bill could be caused as well
Wow, this entire article seems to be more a "let's repost every tweet that hates Krebs". Most of it assumes he is a "a 50-year-old dude in a suit" doing cyberstalking, but I don't think that is an accurate description. Keep in mind, much of the criminal hackers do not like Krebs because he exposes them. People Swat his house and attempt to entrap him. So reposting a bunch of hate-Tweets is stupid.
Yes, Krebs' does his own research, but he also has hundreds of security researchers and contacts that provide him info, many of those are insiders. In his book Spam Nation, he even goes to Russia to visit a crime boss to ask tough questions. This isn't some cyberstalker.
Krebs is a better researcher than most, so I tend to trust his doxx. Most of the info he publishes is already public (poor opsec) and he is more thorogh than Reddit. Can he be wrong? Sure..... should he doxx? I don't know, that's an ethics question.. but if he's wrong on this, I'm sure Brian will reconsider that in the future
A lot of the advice seems superficial (using college and employer branding to leverage yourself into roles). It even goes to the point of telling you that earnign an MBA from a any school besides a toptier school hurts you. I guess that might be true if your only goal is to make $1M in 10 years, not for an average top-impact employee working their way up (the HN title says "as a traditional employee")
Did anyone find value in this? It comes off as a bit arrogant maybe, but maybe Ineed to reread it
Title of submission should be "Passport Operations in Response to COVID-19" not "Good luck getting your passport renewed" (although I do appreciate the message).
I feel bad for both those waiting (I've been there before!) and for the employees working a crazy backlog (also been there before!).
But wow, I appreciate the transparency on the # that are in the backlog (1.3 million) and how they're doing each week.
I think it's fair to say that PHP was okay, historically, but with hindsight, I wish I would have moved on sooner.
I made a lot of money on PHP code. But then realized there were other languages that I could also make money on, that worked better for what I needed. But would I go back? No..
This is one of those multi-day, multi-faceted topics that need us to have many conversations until it's stopped.
Recall the SOPA & PIPA protests of last decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA
There were more than a few discussions here
