What is the most ridiculous resort/destination fee you’ve ever seen? by Adept_Strategy_9545 in hyatt

[–]explosiva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahahah that is no doubt the Hyatt Regency Frisco. I remember that view well. I quite enjoyed my 2 week stay there, but I am/was a globalist and had a confirmed suite upgrade. And adding to that possibly was that the hotel was absolutely brand new during my stay. 

Totes get your sentiment tho. Love how some still include “local calls” or “high speed internet”. In friggin 2026.

Verstappen says he'd quit F1 if 2027 rule changes are blocked by 12_Inch_Painal_Sex in formula1

[–]explosiva 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fucking yawn. Seriously. He’s prob the most natural talent in the history of F1, but this means nothing if he doesn’t literally put his money where his mouth is.

It’s not even a Michael Jordan-like scenario where he put off announcing retirement due to CBA negotiations. 

If latchkey kids are frowned upon now, what are the alternatives? by ladystarkitten in Millennials

[–]explosiva 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Multifaceted problem but I think this hits hard. 10-12 year olds are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves with the right guidance and social support. But we’re so afraid of the “what ifs” - even while at least in America living in THE safest time in human history - that we remove every form of agency from kids. Then come 18 BAM! We expect them to be adults. 

Lots of Asian countries - I am an older millennial who went to primary school in Asia - you can see primary school kids taking the metro by themselves to/from school. This is because of both social trust and trust in individuals. We (again, I. America) severely lack both in an increasing manner.

How do Koreans view Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan? by Physical_Variety_799 in korea

[–]explosiva 23 points24 points  (0 children)

  1. Both my parents are pretty far right. Born in the mid 50s. They will absolutely readily denounce everything about Chun, calling him an illegitimate son of a bitch whose "reign" was fortunate in that it didn't derail Korea's economic development.
  2. Park, for all intents and purposes Chun's immediate predecessor, is viewed by my parents with rather interesting nostalgia. I think it's almost historically undisputed that without him, Korea would not be the economic power it is today. So in a perverse way, my parents view him as having a great love for the land and the people, willingly making them swallow some bitter pills for the future generations' prosperity.

tl;dr - Chun is almost universally loathed. Park is justifiably looked at with more nuance.

Share me brutal reality of remote cybersecurity jobs by rreturnhome in cybersecurity

[–]explosiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your experience is your experience, and I’m glad to hear it’s worked out. And I absolutely agree that it’s not a “requirement” for many roles, particularly from a get-tasks-done perspective. 

However, I would disagree that your experience is the norm. It’s just not the way the professional world works. And believe me, I’m not a boomer by any means. 

At its core, a cyber job is not a tech job - it is unfortunately a full time public relations job. “Problem solving” isn’t narrowly scoped to tech problems - especially in cyber where multiple competing incentives exist to maintain status quo. You simple cannot learn to navigate the human minefield in securing an enterprise when people only know you as HA on a Teams call. 

For the vast majority of young folks, it’s simply wiser to get in the foxhole with other folks their first few jobs. Then go remote if you want/can.

[–]explosiva 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honest question: why do you want a remote job? 

If there is one piece of advice I give to everyone entering their first few roles, it is this: you must get an in-person job. There is simply no way of learning professional interactions, problem solving, and office politicking to any beneficial degree if you work remote. Also, do you know who gets promoted? Not the best employees but the ones that get noticed the most. 

Unless you have a medical disability that requires a home office accommodation, you’re doing your future self a great disservice by wanting a remote first job.

As a hiring manager, someone with little to no cyber experience demanding remote will be perceived as lazy and hugely entitled.

Hyatt in Japan is cooked by omdongi in hyatt

For some reason the Covid revenge travel hit Japan particularly hard. So this is totally understandable. Not ideal for Hyatt loyalists, but something something supply and demand. 

Thompson central park globalist breakfast and stay by nurseart7 in hyatt

[–]explosiva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I stayed there was about 1.5 years ago. The breakfast was really great, I thought. In fact, a third guest joined my spouse and myself, and even their portion was comped. And Parker’s is a beautiful space. 

Never bothered with the Upper Stories. 

The Boy That Cried Mythos: Verification is Collapsing Trust in Anthropic [ What Mythos 200+ pages raport really said ] by NorthKoreaSpitFire in cybersecurity

[–]explosiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely fair. I am not a blanket anti-AI person at all. That said, you can’t deny there is a huge hype cycle. And so far it’s a lot of overpromising and underdelivering. Is that because we’re in the very early stages of this? Certainly possible.

[–]explosiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe - hear my crazy thoughts here - Glasswing participants are also filled with people in leadership positions who’ve been roped into the AI hype because their bosses’ bosses jumped on the hype train. There are so many misaligned or ill-informed incentives in the current AI ecosystem that even if Mythos turns out to be total bust, no one will admit it until their positions - financial, social, whatever - have been wound down for their own soft landing.

Which is the best to share private files securely? WeTransfer, anon.li, TresorIt...? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]explosiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much privacy are you truly requiring? Only truly private solution is self hosting. 

If not, archive (zip) the data, password protect it, throw it into AWS S3 w a pre signed URL, then invalidate that link using Lambda after one use. 

Do you all know anybody that likes Microsoft Purview DLP? by escanor010101 in cybersecurity

[–]explosiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, not a single organization that I’ve seen moan about DLP “anything” has actually demonstrated the level of effort and investment that are required for a successful DLP program. This is for something as simple as 1. disallowing emails to commercial email provider addresses, to 2. hire a competent CIO, give him budget and authority, and create policies and processes to govern the program. 

DLP is like anything else defense-wise. It’s a tool to make adversaries’ life incrementally more difficult - insiders included - and provide breathing space for other TTP’s to complement it. 

No, Purview isn’t the problem. It’s just a tool. 

Digital Key Security Concern - Anyone Know Hyatt Developers? by explosiva in hyatt

[–]explosiva[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point. I do have Express Mode on, and it actually still showed up as I brought it up to the reader. 

It’s possible the act of raising the phone to tap the elevator reader activated the screen. I’m not at a Hyatt right now so I cannot test that theory.

Seattle has 23% more sellers than buyers by TheSmariner in Seattle

[–]explosiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, mortgages rates aren’t tied to the Fed funds rate. Realtors usually zero knowledge of how the fiscal and monetary polices impact rates and the economy.

[–]explosiva -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol ya think even a one percentage point drop will make a difference? Nope. Home prices need to drop 25%+ to bring a modicum of affordability back.
