Witty Blurb Copy Pasta Fail? (See thread right below)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It looks like I posted this incorrectly, fixed it afterwards, but that didn't update what got posted in Insider News.

Hiring decisions based on security certifications is not only flawed, but they lead your organization into a false sense of security. This will eventually cause more harm than good. Dan Tentler, founder of the attack simulation consultancy Phobos Group, believes that “ISC2 is making money hand over fist,” and that the organization is “diluting the market with people who have no idea what they’re doing.”

I have to argue this. Obtaining an A+ certification or going to the local community college and receiving passing grades in Information Technology and working help desk for a year and then passing CEH makes you a security professional! After landing that first information security position and beginning their senior level career path, a CISSP certification warrants a 6-figure salary. Security professionals MUST have all those certifications to run a Qualys scan.

Fascinating, since CISSP has nothing to do with hacking, but the article is a vetch-fest by a hacker.
It also is basically impossible to pass the CISSP exam without at least a reasonable familiarity with security in general and IT security in particular.
Which is the point.

Sounds like many other certificate programs.

Google is facing an intensive investigation from the Department of Labor over alleged pay discrimination. In the past year, the Labor Department has sued two other Silicon Valley companies — Palantir and Oracle — for unequal pay practices.

I'll have to Google if that's true.

The Labor department needs to read the book by Esther Vilar, The Manipulated Man. Trust me, the non-males are getting equal pay.

In other news, the Mafia shamefully admitted they were small-time amateurs compared to the Department of Labor. Baseball bats and brass knuckles are nothing compared to selectively-enforced pseudo-laws.

Burger King made waves today after it released a TV ad that purposely triggered the Google Assistant. Before the ad was disabled, the Google Assistant would verbally read a list of ingredients from Wikipedia.

I must say that such a block would make a huge difference to my lifestyle.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act's so-called "safe harbor" defense to infringement is under fire from a paparazzi photo agency. A new court ruling says the defense may not always be available to websites that host content submitted by third parties. Etsy, Kickstarter, Pinterest, and Tumblr say site moderation hangs in the balance.

More programmers are working from home than ever and, among the most experienced, some are even beginning to demand it. Stack Overflow found programmers who always work from home are about 11% more satisfied with their jobs than those who never do.

I don't know the rest, but I can't concentrate well at home.
Besides... for me home is my sacred place, and I want to have it completely separated from my work to avoid "contamination".

A few weeks ago at Figma, we experienced our first-ever spam attack. This proved the value of Figma’s rate limiter and finally put a stop to the longstanding joke that I had built it in vain. For those unfamiliar, a rate limiter caps how many requests a sender — this could be a user or an IP address — can issue in a specific window of time (e.g. 25 requests per minute)

Microsoft this week retired the security bulletins that for decades have described each month's slate of vulnerabilities and accompanying patches for customers -- especially administrators responsible for companies' IT operations. Yesterday when Microsoft shipped cumulative security updates for Windows, Internet Explorer, Office and other products, it omitted the usual bulletins.

With the launch of the Windows 10 Creators Update and Edge 40 (EdgeHTML 15), Microsoft has released a new battery usage test that, naturally, trashes the company's competition. Microsoft puts on a Microsoft crown.

I believe Google gave itself an award a few months ago for something.
Further, when I just did a poll of just me, I found that I am the best C++ programmer I know. Now I need to make myself a plaque.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

And if Edge was able to run without using a single cpu cycle, i'd not use it.
Well... from a performance perspective it SEEMS to run without cpu
|
|
|

That's because the only thing I use Edge for is to download Chrome.
(OK, that doesn't make much sense, but it sounds good.)

That and to test if the same issue you have in Chrome, exists on Edge!
