> The entire point of encryption is to enable the transport of secure data across insecure or adversarial channels. You can either own things and keep them secret, or encrypt them. Doing both kind of defeats the purpose of the latter.

An scenario where encrypting locally makes sense is protecting confidential data when an attacker has physical access. For example, encrypting your disk so that losing your laptop in the train does not expose all your local files.
>The language: Tech companies are becoming more aware of the dangers posed by maintaining and updating large codebases written in an untyped language.

This (insinuation that dynamic typing is inherently worse to maintain) actually isn't true. There's no evidence proving this. Its one of those things that slowly became common sense and goes unquestioned.

> SOC2 is the best-known infosec certification, and the only one routinely demanded by customers.

In the US... and I think that SOC2 is not an "infosec" certification per se but more of a generic policies and procedures certification. When I sucessfully took a startup to SOC2 certification, we were doing PCI DSS Level 1 compliance at the same time. SOC2 was very light on InfoSec per se (it was more "bureaucracy"), whereas PCI leaned heavily into InfoSec itself.

Of course that was for an American company, the rest of the world uses ISO 27001

Australia has almost everything wrong you can think of climate-wise: cold Antarctic currents hitting the west coast causing dry winds with little moisture, on the east coast there's a narrow strip between the coast and the long N-S mountains that gets moisture, but even then the mountains are barely high enough to trap winds and cause rainfall. The very north gets monsoons, the inland is a baking desert and only the very south is temperate.

If you want an idea of scale, there's a single cattle farm in Australia operated by less than a dozen people that is larger than Texas.
It’s weird how there’s been a massive uptick in security “threat researchers” blogging about hello world style malware in the past few years. On the plus side, malware reverse engineering is a tough job that traditionally didn’t pay that well, so hopefully they’re doing better now with the rise of all these startups doing blog posts about LD_PRELOAD.

> The war started immediately after Ukraine threw out the Russian puppet government.

Neglecting US involvement in that revolution/coup hides a big part of the story. The US ambassador to Ukraine and Victoria Nuland were discussing who should replace Russia's puppets a full two weeks before the people actually got rid of him - which Russian spies discovered and published.

> The war Russia initiated and bears full responsibility for has hurt millions already (and in fact had hurt millions before the 2022 escalation), not mere tens or hundreds of thousands.

Right - I was thinking more of deaths, but you're right harm has indeed come to millions of people, from Russia's unjust war.

> They will back off before or after they collapse from the cost of the war, but either way they will back off. They’ve lost vastly more in lives and treasure in a few months than the much larger USSR did in a decade in Afghanistan. Putin may dream of recreating the Empire of Peter the Great, but he's heading more toward Nicholas II.

I honestly believe there is a high chance Russia would rather throw the dice and nuke Ukraine before allowing the war to end, unless they get down guarantees that NATO involvement in Ukraine will stop completely. What would happen next is impossible to predict, as we would be stepping into an entirely new world.

> I mean, if you mean by the 2022 escalation, it was a pretty well-marked trap.

The trap was constant escalation of NATO presence in Ukraine, culminating in the joint military exercises in 2021, forcing Putin to react.
Fortunately we will never know it. The damage to homes was 36 million euro in any case, but this is not the only thing that matters really. The bad press of an European Fukushima in the year of Fukushima would have destroyed the tourism in thousands of Km of the Mediterranean Spanish Coast.

Would you buy tomatoes cultured near a central nuclear that "may not have been damaged" by an earthquake?. Would you pass your holidays dining fish and swimming a place that "probably is not leaking radioactivity to the sea"?. Most people would answer negatively.

Nuclear benefits don't matter when you have a better plan for the place. If the other activity brings you ten times more money without the risks, and without excluding the rest of the economic activities in that place, the decision is easy.

Which they've now put a hard number on for end of this year in primary latitude band and global first quarter of next year, and they've gone ahead and filed with FCC for permission to activate polar satellites which depend on it [0]. If we were talking years out sure, but this is an early launch for something they're promising in <6 months and looks more like a matter of regulatory approval. They're launching satellites with updated optical links regularly and look to be reaching MVP for mesh density at this point. Obviously anyone who'd depend on using it blue water would wait for that to be ready, but in terms of what they're aiming for global is absolutely the target and always has been.

It decreases the number of types you need to define for one. And lets you lego up various interfaces.

Cost. Paying early termination on your rental contract. Paying to move. First, last, and a cleaning deposit at your new place. Stocking a new place with perishables. An easy 3+ grand to move to an inexpensive town.

Loss of salary/job opportunities. You won't have the same job opportunities, nor salary ranges, if you live in a less expensive part of the country, since your new pay will be based off your peers in your physical location, not your last salary in SF.

Edit due to rate-limiting: OK, I'll amend my comment. Don't invade your neighbors or commit genocide, and you don't have anything to fear from NATO. Better?

As for Iraq and Afghanistan, NATO activated Article 5 because the US was attacked by terrorists based in Afghanistan on 9/11, but my understanding is that the coalition forces that went into Iraq were not NATO-affiliated. Is that understanding incorrect?

Have a look at https://www.vanta.com/ when you actually get involved in the SOC2 dance. A couple of years ago I took a startup through the SOC2 and PCI L1 compliance process "manually". At the same time Vanta was kind of starting.

I decided not to use them because I (foolishly in retrospective) wanted to "learn" the SOC2 and PCI cert process by walking through it (kind of how you do derivatives, intergrals, numerical methods in school by hand so that you "grok" them).

Since then, I've heard good things about Vanta from a couple of friend CTOs that adopted them. If I had to go through SOC2, PCI or ISO27001 (I did that in yet a previous startup) I would deffinitely go with them.

I would think it would be fairly obvious that a candidate could be “bought or bribed,” simply from the fact they’re asking for a job in the first place. They’re willing to exchange their time for money, i.e. “be bought.”

So why do people not commit corporate espionage? Well, it might have more to do with character traits than financial stability. In fact, most spies probably have their life fairly well together, and will have perfect credit. As for any asset they might compromise, what’s the difference between someone with poor credit applying to a job because they need the money, vs. applying to a job because they need more money from your enemy bribing them? I’d argue the difference comes down to character.

So for that reason, I’m skeptical of the effectiveness of a credit report as a proxy for likelihood to commit corporate espionage. A good credit report doesn’t seem to offer meaningful signal in either case of a malicious attacker or a desperate contributor. A bad credit report produces as many false positives as a good one.

Yes and no. It's a shared grid (except most of Texas) but for the most part your power is still coming from local sources. The sharing is to balance out extremes, not for constantly moving power from Vermont to Georgia. That would be extremely inefficient.

Fukushima in 2011 is very similar to Oroville Dam in 2017. 154,000 evacuated vs 180,000, and both were caused by very rare natural disaster. Both involved failures in handling emergency scenarios like natural disaster, and failures in technology that was supposed to prevent catastrophic failures. Both also involved political failures in addressing risk to people who live near those power plants, and failures in addressing prior safety concerns.

Hopefully those incident will have taught those countries to respect the enormous destructive forces involved, create a work culture where safety concerns do not get ignored, and to build power plants with consideration of very rare natural disaster.

I put too much weight on the waste storage problem. Looking at it now, in my opinion it might be preferable to have nuclear waste underground somewhere than keep polluting the atmosphere. It seems silly to still get hung up on that. Sure it's not great and I'd rather we don't, but we're at the eleventh hour and we've got to take more drastic, albeit suboptimal, steps.
Radioactive fallout can be cleaned. Most of the Fukushima exclusion zone has been resettled. Pripyat was not resettled because it was a planned town specifically created to support the power plant and its workers. So there's no reason to spend the money to rehabilitate it.
