SEEKING WORK | Remote or NYC

I'm an information security consultant. I have a broad skill set, but I specialize in younger organizations and/or SMBs who are looking to make sure they have good modern security baselines across their entire organization. I can tackle specific projects or can review systems and procedures and make recommendations.

I have extensive experience in deploying, automating, and securing corporate IT systems. For example: automating employee onboarding/offboarding, deploying Single Sign On, implementing account security best practices, and Zero Trust principles (e.g. microsegmentation, scoped access, device attestation, hardware backed authentication).

> but when the Euro falls the attractiveness of its exports increases.

They're talking about manufacturing. Energy input costs are still denominated in dollars/rubles, so those exports will still be pretty expensive if the factory doors are to remain open. A falling euro will only make the labor portion of cost inputs decline. And because labor needs to eat, even those input costs will be rising as well.

Will a falling euro help? Sure. But probably not as much as you think.
I haven't posted one selfie, ever, and I've been online since the nineties. I'm more concerned about showing up in other people's photos though. And you can't avoid that. You could ask politely not to be included in a photo, but that could be controversial, and I'm not about to go all Snowden on people and proclaim I have digital privacy rights which are un-enforced and the only way to avoid that is to be non-compliant in the various data-mining operations of Google et al. and have a 'rant'. Most of the time I waive my rights and be silent since it's more social and accepted.
Uhh, conda create a new environment first. Conda literally does everything else for you (including the actual hard part , getting your GPUs to play nice with CUDA and to be recognized by pytorch or tensorflow)

Just make a new conda environment, and throw it away if it gets clobbered.

But don't listen to me, I only work for a billion dollar company that does all of its cloud data science using conda, so I must not know what I'm talking about...

We're entering a depression. It's a completely different beast then most people in first-world countries know or have ever experienced.

I think we'll see a dearth of startups for a while but at some point we'll get some really interesting innovation. The good economic environment in the past decades has actually been quite toxic for serious technology-driven startups; all the talent is off making "Facebook but for Uber."

1) Because most employees just see "1000 shares" or whatever and don't know to ask anything else. Most of the time, if you ask for the # of shares and most recent valuation, they'll give you that (big red flag if they won't).

2) In theory, offering shares better aligns incentives between the company and employees. If you are given a decent chunk of the equity (an extreme rarity), you have an incentive to make the company as valuable as possible.
I will venture a risky post to say, the gifting strategy is probably most endearing to women who receive little attention. This is a mostly mutually exclusive set with Gold Diggers.
It was quite a thing to see Apple's huge "What Happens on iPhone, Stays on iPhone" billboards up around town, at the exact same time they were announcing the rollout of a new content-side illegal-material scan-and-notify system.

(I think they've since delayed the rollout of that system indefinitely, after public outcry.)

Experience the risk without actually taking any risk.

Although, I can offer an anecdote. I really enjoy playing truck simulators, namely American and European Truck Simulator. I had to drive a large box truck recently and I found it super easy - the high up position, looking at the mirrors to back up and parallel park perfectly, and the joy of the open road. Then I realized that truck drivers do this every day for weeks on end as a job. Really appreciate the folks who keep our economy moving.

You still need to filter based on the other indexes. If you search for [bitcoin mining] you don't want to find pages related to coal mining. So this data still needs to be joined.
A big part of the problem is that people who want heroin or oxycodone, in consistent doses, are getting unpredictable doses of fentanyl. Despite addiction to heroin or oxycodone not being great, it'd be a lot better if those people got what they wanted, rather than what they're getting.

Hinge has a weird bucketing technique where it'll show you 30 straight unattractive profiles one day then 30 straight mega-attractive profiles the next day. No idea why they do that.
Privacy.com is great. I've been using it for years on the free plan. I use short-lived, vendor-specific cards a few times per month.

The author is complaining about the service's name not matching their expectation of what the service is supposed to do. I don't think that's fair. The Privacy.com homepage summarizes the service very well in my opinion. You give Privacy.com your financial information so you don't have to give it to a dozen other companies, and you get to control when and how those companies use that information by setting limits on spending or card duration.

The author was expecting this to be a cryptocurrency tumbler or what?
Why did Europe become so dependent on Russian Energy? Did it come down to money? At some level I can see Europe thinking that trade would reduce the possibility of war but still how could they have been do gullible? History shows that they can't keep from going to war. It was only a matter of time before they started one again.

resources are a provincial thing so I'm not even sure if it's really possible for this to be a federal license. I mean, maybe so if the feds owned a bunch of land (ie. say from an old military base) that was wooded and they logged it, but this seems like an edge case.

This is the crux of it for me. Don't get me wrong, I like me a shooter from time to time, but as I've gotten older I find myself not often liking the adrenaline-filled games being pitched.

And Sim-type games really scratch that itch. They often have (relatively) deep gameplay mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to master, don't have a lot of time pressure (many are turn-based, or real-time but with no serious deadlines), and most importantly aren't multiplayer.
I don't know, I've seen a lot of bad profiles, and I've helped people fix their (really bad) profiles. It's not a super hard problem, but I don't think people recognize it as something that they need to think about. It seems that by default people are extremely asymmetrical in how they perceive profiles, picking up a ton of nuance in other people's profiles that they are blind to in their own. They have to spend some time reflecting on how they infer information from other people's profiles, and reading what people online say about dating profiles, in order to understand how other people see theirs so they can turn it into a better reflection of themselves.

If Putin were to use a nuclear weapon here, wouldn’t that effectively FORCE the US to do the same? Because if we don’t, what’s to stop him from using the next one, and the next, and the one after that?

I respect Vert.x a lot, so I'm flattered, but Vert.x is a huge beast with focus on performance. Javalin is basically a tiny UX layer on top of Jetty. I don't think they are very similar frameworks. Javalin's focus is on being "good enough" all around, but with the best possible developer experience.

I live multiple lives. I'm a father, a businessman, have multiple hobbies, do sports. Targeted ads mean this info can be combined. I can be profiled and abused. Algorithm has calculated what I might impulsively buy and shows me that personalized ad everywhere.

Non-targeted ads do not mean viagra ads. Non-targeted ads still have the context of the website/app I'm using.

Non-targeted ads mean that I can get ads about specific hardware when I browse my hobby forums; I can get ads about some interesting SaaS when I browse my work related news sites. I don't get anything that's targeting some calculated personality quirks of mine to the highest ad bidder.

This "ownership of identity" complaint makes no sense to me. You are the owner of your identity, but I would still be free to think you are an asshole if I so wanted (I don't, to be clear, just an example :) )

Making inferences about you doesn't mean you "own" your identity less.
Another post mentioned "Demand Side Platform", which Wikipedia explains like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand-side_platform

When I was a graduate student, I often participated in summer schools and conferences where there was a strict schedule that included two or three meals a day. I absolutely loved it. I would like to live all of my life so that someone else would schedule my life for me, cook meals at right times, etc. And of course part of it was that most of the other people participating the event also did the same schedule as you so you always had friends to have lunch, dinner and coffee breaks with.

If someone has any suggestions on how to organize my life like a one big summer school, I'm listening. I guess joining a monastery would do it, but I don't really care for the other aspects of monastic life.

> Human brains are pattern matching machines. When we interact with other people, we have a mental model for how they think (or should think). That model is built from our internal experience.
Without shared internal experience or enough data to imagine it, there will not be true understanding of another’s internal experience.
As a result, while I am fortunate to often be accepted for who I am, many people do not understand. Fortunately, I’ve found complete understanding is not required if the other people simply takes what you say at face value.

Doesn't taking people at face value usually result in these misunderstandings in the first place? Many people use language as a signifier of their emotional states rather than as a tool to express objective assessments of reality.

This is a totally fair point. The price of carbon emissions should reflect their true cost.

Because software engineering isn't boxing?

It's hard to separate a team's performance from the rest of the org, and it's hard to separate an individual's performance from the rest of their team. And even if you could- how do you measure success? Unlike boxing, there's no binary win/loss condition. KPIs? But what about an engineer who does a brilliant job quietly making sure a piece of software will be maintainable over the next decade? How do you measure that, even from inside the organization, much less outside of it? And if you could, how do you know that success in one org (with a particular codebase, stack, team culture, velocity, etc) translates to success in a different one?

And then because of all the above: even a resume doesn't tell you very much. It tells you they convinced other employers they were worth hiring/keeping, but those other employers were subject to the same imprecisions/measurement problems that you are. It's very possible they were all wrong about the quality of this person's contributions.

Software development is a deeply human activity that's impossible to reduce to simplified signifiers. It's my opinion that the only way to evaluate an engineer is to be another engineer working alongside them for an extended time. And even then- that doesn't necessarily translate to other scenarios they might work in.

Another commenter here said they do a 30-day trial period with new engineers, to see if they're a good fit. From a hiring perspective, this is the only process I can think of that would be decently accurate. Though obviously it would be pretty rough on the engineer to not know if they have job security for 30 days.
For reference there has been a significant amount of protests in recent months about old growth logging in BC so this is a controversial issue.

The current government has "deferred" a bunch of old growth logging licenses as part of damage control efforts in response to the criticism.

A complicating factor is the fact that indigenous nations of BC are gaining more and more strength and control over their traditional territories and are not necessarily opposed to logging. Recently a nation on Vancouver island asked protestors to go home.
