IMO at this point every LastPass user should:

1. Check their password iterations to evaluate how urgent the rest of these steps are: https://support.lastpass.com/help/how-do-i-change-my-passwor...

2. If iterations are 100100 and your password is not a dictionary word (or quite short) you are probably ok but...

3. I'd still identify any high value passwords like email, financial, cryptocurrency, etc. and rotate them.

I am guessing the iterations are stored in the vault so would point out the low hanging fruit to the hackers.

All the other things LP is doing doesn't really matter since the customer vaults are already exfiltrated and do not use any sort of MFA offline.
Or if they are paid, $105 million, it should be taxed at like a 90%+ rate and have that go towards the 30 million+ hungry people in the US.

ITT: People waking up to what happens when your HR department is staffed with predominantly liberal white women.

Wait til you find out how promotions work. It’s one heck of an affair!
That's because the idea there is not to "be inclusive". The idea is to create a complicated set of rules that can be used to promote people you like and demote people you don't like.

This is what happened in many colleges.

1. Certain job listings mandate adherence to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles.

2. Candidates with the strongest understanding of DEI typically come from privileged backgrounds, such as private K-12 schools and Ivy League universities, and tend to be white.

3. These applicants are able to "out-perform" other applicants in terms of DEI understanding.

4. As a result, the faculty continues to be predominantly white and wealthy.

5. Profit.
He got a pretty typical comp package but he happened to get in right before COIN stock took off, which made it astronomical.

It's like the folks who joined Amazon a few years ago as Staff engineers. Their original comp packages were valued at $200k-$300k per year, but then the stock took off, and they ended up with $1M+ per year. They started with a typical package that was stock heavy and got lucky.

Interestingly the people getting in now are getting screwed for the same reason -- with the stock dropping, their comp package is getting cut in half.
> While desktop Linux distributions get hiccups and freezes regularly

This may be caused by the "desktop environment" you are running and not Linux itself.

I do not run DE's (simply Fvwm2, no 'desktop environment') and this Linux machine I'm typing on has a record uptime of 475 days, and a current uptime of 110 days. Most often it gets rebooted due to a power cut that lasts longer than the UPS contains energy to last through.

My Linux pvr has a current uptime of 414 days (and this length is also its record uptime).

My Linux firewall/router has a record uptime of 616 days and a current uptime of 49 days (and this 49 days was caused by the previous motherboard dying and necessitating a motherboard replacement).

Another Linux desktop machine, also running only Fvwm2, has a current, and record, uptime of 243 days. It as well most often is rebooted only due to power cuts beyond the ability of the UPS to keep the system running.

So my experience is the exact opposite of yours -- Linux is rock solid and does not "get hiccups and freezes regularly".
no it's not. It's just a neural network. Although it's impressive nobody is seriously calling it "general intelligence".
How is something 3 or 4 on the front page here thats been known since the 40s?
I bet you're real fun at parties :)
It's not even close to being a form of general intelligence. It's an advanced language model trained on a large set of data. It gets confused for even the simplest of things, especially code.

You can trick it into working more-or-less correctly on simple sets and simple tasks, but in the wrong run it will be more wrong than correct.
Exactly. So why not a 85% cut from 400 to 50, instead of 16%? What strategic purpose does a reduction in workforce serve it it's not materially realigning staffing on updated business priorities, such as putting the effort on a very clear pause? I don't think 16% is going to change the objectives and priorities of a team. Just gonna make them slower.

Corporations are optimizing to the playing field that society creates. As long as 1st world countries can import an endless stream of credentialed migrants, there's no incentive for corporations to hire and train the economically disadvantaged (aka, in many cases minorities).

If you want to hire minorities, open an office in their community, require them to work on site, and hire completely unskilled people with no experience so you can train them. This would require actual investment, not token 'DIE' positions, so corporations don't do it.

Funny enough, this was a Mexican restaurant that I used to go to as a kid that was amazing. I had such good memories of going there. It was eventually sold to another company that remodeled the whole place and changed the name.

In addition to the dumb menu thing, the food was terrible... to the point that the rice tasted like plastic. The prices were off the charts, but I'm used to that at this point. To add insult to the whole experience, tips were auto calculated on top of tax on the receipt (which was even noted on the receipt), just to boost it up higher.

So yea... lesson learned. I wonder if there are any statistics around post-covid return rates for restaurants. I bet it is terrible.

Before everything "online" a bookstore would order books from a wholesaler. often via paper. Giving the wrong number would either result in order forms being sent back and force or wrong books being delivered which had to be returned (if possible at all). So having check digits seems like a cleve idea to reduce possible errors resulting in unneeded transactions.

And International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) have two check digits, but at the front, not at the back. And having check digits is important, because it might not be easy to get your money back, if transferred to some unintended account.

The IBAN consists of up to 34 alphanumeric characters comprising a country code; two check digits; and a number that includes the domestic bank account number, branch identifier, and potential routing information. The check digits enable a check of the bank account number to confirm its integrity before submitting a transaction.

Wow, this looks so fun to play with.

As pointed out in the blog post, the iterative process is very close to the mental process an analyst would follow. This is the beginning of an AI actually thinking ^^
This has nothing to do with iOS.
I wonder how much more accurate this would get if fine tuned on a set of SQL problems? Could even fine tune it on a per-company basis using queries that had been written by analysts in the past.
>We read every resume

The attitude that this post conveys is that the advice she presents is universal. No. It's just her company and for her circumstance only. If you tailor your resume to fit her advice you'd be tailoring it for her company.

Many startups don't read resumes. For my company the resume is screened for buzz words by a recruiter. The candidate is fed into the interview pipeline before ANY interviewer reads it. I read the resume 10 minutes before the interview starts. My company IS a startup, her advice Does not Apply to My company.

I had to look that up, it appears to be a USA thing that "gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time" (1)

That is almost worse than it completely not working.
I would just phrase it as "if you optimize by writing your own assembly, don't expect your program or its performance to be portable."
I don’t think they were suggesting you have to do all of those things, but rather that those things are examples of resume content that demonstrates what they’re looking for.
Since you said to ignore all the downsides that would come with a realistic implementation, yes, I'd obviously watch it.

Even if by internal policing you think it's going to be completely removed (based on your statements here) you are overwhelmingly naive to corporate culture and are obviously responding in this way because you maintain a hard stance for such oversight regardless of actual need.

> Yet, their number of warehouse employees is still growing like an exponential curve. Compare the number of items shipped per 1,000 warehouse employees in 2012 vs 2022 and no it’s not wildly different.

No idea where this data is coming from. But there are a lot of factors at play and this is pretty high-level data on what could be going on. It doesn't account for changes in how the company operates, the number of warehouses that are spinning up, how packaging and shipping has evolved (moving between warehouses to consolidate multiple orders into single shipments, etc), the massive spike in orders during the pandemic...

But really, What's your goal here? It seems like you just want someone to say you are right instead of discuss? If you wanted to discuss, I'd expect that numbers thrown out would have some sort of backing behind them and displaying curiosity as to why things may be operating a certain way as opposed to already deciding how things work.
You can set it so it shows contribution stats from private repos. Also companies with healthy attitudes to devs can allow their enterprise GitHub instance to transfer contribution stats to dev’s personal GitHub accounts.

Also, I've heard a lot of people asking for github, so I made one. Recruiters all say "oh very nice" and no one reads a line. ever.
She probably had an account that had a very low number of iterations. LastPass never updated those unless someone knew to do it manually, so if it was an old account she likely had 5,000 iterations out of the recommended minimum of 100,000.

This reminds me of an article I found shortly after the Elon acquisition:
https://www.techdirt.com/2022/11/02/hey-elon-let-me-help-you...

After reading that, I understood just how much pressure is on social media companies from different angles, and it's impossible to really have "Free Speech" online due to the nature of sharing content (versus simple verbal/written discourse).
Tu quoque :) (You're "just a neural network" too.)

Well said.

Also, for professionals who have a life besides coding and work, they might prefer spending their time with family, kids etc.

I spend my entire day at work in front of a screen coding, writing documents, meetings etc … the last thing I wanna do in my non existent spare time is to spend more time indoor in front of screen working on side/open-source projects and stack overflow.

You might use that as metric for junior/fresh out of college, but definitely not for experienced professionals.

It would not work for me and I have built tons of staff.

>I asked a friend who just left med school. He laughed and said yes there's lots of evidence supporting this in his profession alone.

I just asked a friend who is a professor of medicine. She laughed and said no there's no evidence supporting this in her profession alone.

>He suggested you pick up a copy of "Principles of Transgender Medicine and Surgery" ISBN 1138857009 which was a required for one of his courses.

A book that covers transgender care for mentally ill men doesn't magically make them female. They are still human males, and will always be human males.

>It has hundreds of references by MDs,PHDs and the like on the medical side alone.

None of the MDs disagree with the fact that "gender affirming care" is for human males or females, and their biology is most definitely male or female. The grievance studies PhDs are not experts in science.

>He did agree that quantity is not quality and recommended to use "Directory of Open Access Journals" to access a large amount of peer reviewed research that does establish the science.

There are none that establish "the science", there is no science backing any of it. Again, grievance studies papers are not science.

>You should contact everyone referenced in the book/research papers and let them know they're incorrect

"You should contact Hitler and Goebbels and let them know they're incorrect about the Jews."

>Having an open mind to learn more information is not a weakness

I agree.

>I work in data science adjacent and it's fascinating to see new information being uncovered all the time that does fill in missing information about everything we know - or don't know.

Data science is not biology. There is no missing information. Humans are mammals, humans are sexually dimorphic and produce two gametes. The earth is round, not flat.
This is why the comment resonates—the "owner class" got swindled. Fatcats, not the littleguys.
If you look at my other reply in this thread you'll realize that I actually lived being this poor person in poor country.

You might have your high morals and and what is morally rightest or who was at fault for me being born poor etc.

But knowing how it is at the bottom you have to realize that X offering me a better job does me a favor and anyone calling X to don't do that due to some moral concern over my well being is caring more about his ideals than about my actual wellbeing.
You can let them give me this job while trying to improve my position in other ways. It's not a dichotomy.
I think that's because most SQL analyst who can understand the data model, assumptions, quirks, etc. usually get promoted into other positions.

Was in an era when full colour bitmap graphics were becoming effortless to draw on screen, so let’s make EVERYTHING a high res texture! That will prove how modern and powerful this machine is! But now, it’s less impressive so the sheen doesn’t sparkle as much.

Where as maybe the older 1bit display of an old Mac isn’t trying to sell you anything thru UI fancyness. The fact that it’s not impressive technically is maybe less of an issue when it was obviously not the thing they wanted you to focus on.
Which era of Aqua are we talking about here? I generally group Mac OS X design into four broad buckets:

• 11+
> Judge Dorsey ultimately overruled objections to their retention by two individual FTX creditors.

I think Molly White defaults to too much credibility in judges and lawyers.

SBF's main argument is that Sullivan & Cromwell misled him into going the Chapter 11 route, which he later learned was more motivated by its ability to make hundreds of millions rather than helping his customers. He made a mistake in trusting them. All entrepreneurs make mistakes in trusting people they should not.

He admits to serious mistakes with Alameda etc, but believes those were recoverable. I would agree—the crypto market is huge and so important—and think as long as all customers get their money back, that it was fixable.

I think S&C has done a terrible job with FTX since taking over since the bankruptcy, so find SBF's argument to have merit.

SBF's main message to entrepreneurs, which I think is a good one: be more transparent, and be careful who you trust.

Source: I think I have $30,000 in my FTX.us account, so if anything I should be biased against SBF/FTX. But I am currently dealing with a dishonest lawyer and incompetent judge in the San Diego Family Law Cartel, so I am biased against the system at the moment.

The problem is that you never really know whether the chat bot gets it right or terrifically wrong unless you already know how to do the task yourself.

And in some cases, paying an analyst $50/hr. for a higher degree of confidence than you can get from a $1 chat bot is still very much worth it.

The stakes are higher, too. If the chat bot gets it wrong, what are you going to do, fire it? There goes a small trickle of revenue to OpenAI. Whereas if the analyst gets it wrong, there goes their livelihood.

That said ... this will help the $50/hr. analyst improve their productivity!
There's lots of very popular religions which have different expectations of moral behavior (in theory). It's also not a particularly pro-social moral framework.

This is like the opposite of hustle. Don't you think you are supporting getting massive compensation for essentially being bad at your job?

I interviewed about 40 people over the last year, and agree specifically with not listing every single possible technology you've touched in the last 10 years, especially things you're not comfortable talking about. Because I will pick ones we're using or that I have experience with, and will ask you questions about them, and if you can't answer really basic questions then I'm a lot less confident you're not bullshitting me about everything else you've written down.

> If you actually want to show something, do a longitudinal study: first of all, pick cohorts that match up in most other respects, then compare their relative performance within the cohort after increasing their DEI numbers. Or not doing so.

I agree these study parameters would yield much better data. The construction of such a study would probably prove challenging.
I think this is mainly because such people are very career focused (and politically savvy to get to that point) and careful not to take a role that could even signal a step back. That and they typically will have enough financial security that they don't need to rush anything. "Lower level" folks are less likely to have both of these be true.
> Why would any other tech company contribute to something like this?
