No one thinks this is actually secure, it's security theater.

The thing is, the cost of identity theft of consumers to credit reporting companies is less than the cost to actually adopt secure methods to judge one's credit.

Gandi or GTFO, they're one of the few registrars that are fighting for the "good guys"

could it have gone into spam?

USB 3.X / USB-C / Thunderbolt 3, all of it together is confusing enough for those technical, add marketing speak to the mix and it's just going to end up with a mish mosh of different words that mean absolutely nothing and tell the end user very little.

Add to the fact that everyone is skimping on the actual USB 3 standards and a large amount of shitty products on the market that don't do what they say they do (due to poor quality control, making wires longer than spec expecting them to work to spec), we have to rely on guys like Benson to crowdsource working and non working products.

No it can't. We're literally talking about monitoring and capturing packets for data loss prevention, something that can't be done if the packets are encrypted.

There's a whole IT market segment around TLS decryption for corporate LAN. Basically corporate MITM that will decrypt TLS at the gateway / firewall, and with currently used TLS standards, will then re encrypt the traffic back to the client so the browser thinks it has a legit connection. It's used to scan packets for intrusion detection, for malware, to track for data loss like the article talks about.

There are orgs with thousands of corporate G Suite accounts. I mean if you are in the 10k or larger size, running your services internally might make sense but for the rest of us, G Suite should work well enough for corporate email.

How do we know that this isn't the case here and said hacker went after those records as well?

This all seems like an inside job and thus even offline backups are at risk if a disgruntled employee wanted to go after it.

Yes it is. https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/editor-p...

It be really great if they allowed G Suite admins to have fine grained control over what is and isn't SPAM in their own domain. Alas even that's subject to consumer Gmail spam filters.

You'd think so, but no even internal G Suite emails that never leave the domain, still subject to GMail's generic all users spam filters. And even as a paying user, you can't get out of them.

They introduced more stringent controls around what constitutes spam.

Never gonna happen, the big G knows the best for all. Even G Suite business users have to deal with the lack of controls here, even if we whitelist our own domain, things can get flagged by the larger Gmail spam filters that G Suite users are still subject to.

I say that most sushi restaurants in N America go by using sushi grade fish that was probably processed by a fish monger, not the chef.

Aging fish really comes into play for high end sushi, where the chef is after some chemical reactions can only happen over time, it's not rot, it's more like it had time to rest and develop flavors that it would not have had if it was just straight from the fish right after it was caught.

I think the Peter principle, the idea that people are promoted to until they are incompetent in their roles, comes into play.

What worked for you to get to the job isn't necessarily going to work for you to succeed in the job, I agree with others saying that it's not a time management issue, it's a change in perspective that's require, you no longer have the ability to do everything for everyone, you now have to lead people you can trust to fulfill those tasks better than you could, as your responsibilities grow, the rest of your team doesn't stay static, they also grow with you.

I think that depends on what you think his new job actually is, and if that actually aligns with what they think their new job is.

Every manager has different ways to lead, every person has different behaviors that make them more or less likely to follow someone who is leading. The whole team needs to work out the right dynamic and be truthful with each other and managers need to be truthful with their employees as well as with themselves.

It may turn out like it often does, great developers who understand the product and project inside out don't automatically make them great managers

You keep calling it a public offering, but the reality is, a public offering is selling parts of your company for cash, aka a stock, ownership has it's privileges, without those privileges, you aren't selling anything to the public, the public is giving you money in return for a piece of paper and a fuzzy good feeling inside. I don't invest to get a fuzzy good feeling inside. I donate for that.

Donations are not investments. They're expenses. Investments must have a return of some monetary vale, or else it's an expense.

There's three ways to raise money. You can finance it (debt) or you can sell ownership (equity), or the last one, people can randomly throw money at you and expect nothing in return. The last method of raising funds are donations, those aren't an asset that can produce dividends, or earn interest, that's the opposite of an investment, it's an expense. A charitable one generally to get more favorable tax incentives.

Of course you can have equity in a non profit. That doesn't mean your entitled to profits that don't exist, it means you have a stake in the organization. And the # of outstanding stocks versus the # of stocks held by the general public is a tiny fraction of what the Packers are worth, but again those silly pieces of paper are not proof of equity or ownership, it's literally memorabilia fans traded cash for a piece of paper that says they own something even though they have no power of ownership, the annual shareholder meeting is for show, so to call it an investment like a traditional stock would be isn't fair, it's really not the same thing.

What you are describing is development office, going out to ask for donations for a cause. That's not the same as running a venture that's going to make profit for shareholders.

For those on the outside, especially outside the tech scene all together, looking in, a multi million dollar series A for a company of under 10 employees looks like easy money, compared to say someone trying to run their mom and pop retail shop. Of course most people forget that this money isn't free, there's cost and expectations around how that money will be used.

Very true, my mind was stuck on tech VC since the 70s, but yeah the idea of buying equity in a venture isn't new.
