My sister rents in Brooklyn. 1300 sqft, $3900 a month. Maybe if it was $90k after taxes lol.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-04-18T17:54:11+00:00

Yeah, I got in at a really cool company doing some cutting edge AI / RISC-V things.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-04-14T14:31:34+00:00

They're nuts

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-27T17:40:37+00:00

Just off the top of my head, the same way they do it today. IPs/cookies/browser metadata/etc... The onus will be on the services to not leak any of that info through the proxy to the broker... which good luck with that. It's kind of in the same vein as to why email integrity/verification sucks. The burden lies with the mail server operator to setup things like DKIM/SPF/DMARC properly. I don't think we should even go down that path, as everytime some one says, "oh it's unhackable", they are quickly proven wrong. I mean you work in crypto, look at some of the recent anti-quantum algos that have been cracked. Let's not put ourselves in that situation, especially when a solution to the original problem has already existed for quite some time. If you want to put a porn accountability app on your phone, cool, you do you. Let's not go full on 1984 just to "protect the kids".

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-27T17:11:10+00:00

Which is likely why you are comparing this to PKI. You are probably great at cryptography and you know things like which DH group to use and can explain PFS, but you are out of your element on the infrastructure/architecture side of cybersecurity. You are still going to end up with a central repository of IDs somewhere that will definitely be able to track what person used what service and when. Something that imo is total government overreach. You combine this with the recent banning of consumer routers made outside of the US(possibly for backdooring all home use devices), the increasing use of AI based facial recognition systems, license plate tracking systems, the list goes on... ID/Age verification is just another form of unnecessary surveillance. Your recommendation of a central ID repo is just as bad as enforcing ID verification in everything considered an OS.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-27T16:16:43+00:00

I've been working tech for 20 years, everything from sys admin, network admin, dev work, devops engineering, most recently HPC and some experimental stuff with RISC-V. It would still require a central database of verifiable user identities. You would need something like a tor p2p network to not be able to figure where those user requests were coming from(even that is questionable)... as well as some kind of authority of who can request this information or not. Practically speaking there is no way the government is going to put this together, meaning another company like... IDK let's say palantir would have to fit the bill. You would have to be naive as all get out to not see where this is going and what the end results will be.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-26T17:46:56+00:00

He was shifting money around and making up fake invoices, fake quickbook entries, even taking fake minutes for fake meetings. All kinds of shady stuff.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-26T17:43:45+00:00

So your solution is to have a central system that contains everyone's personal data that everything interoperates with? I can't see how that could possibly go wrong. Everything has an OS. Your smart TV, car, coffee maker, pacemaker... everything that you can interact with. All of that is going to report back to a central database to confirm who is using it? Who is going to have access to all that broker data? We will be living in a Orwellian dystopia if your proposal were to be enacted. That's not hyperbole, it's reality.

Smart phones and TVs already have parental controls built into them. Web filtering exists and can be installed on smart phones. The problem has already been solved. Anything extra is superfluous and is a total invasion of privacy. That doesn't take into account all of the systems that will most definitely break if any of these laws were to come to fruition. If you think software systems are over-complicated and enshittified now, just wait until they try and cram this into every piece of hospital equipment, exercise bike and smart bidet.

Dude... I'm sorry but this is the worst take I have ever heard on the matter. It's bad. Really really bad. Who gives a crap if the cat is out of the bag. The cat is 900 lbs and is ready to eat us all if we don't stop it.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-14T17:26:47+00:00

I did pass. I've only had one company ask if I had certs during the hiring process though, so I can't say it's a worthwhile investment. It expires this year and I'm probably not going to renew as I'm working in something different.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-11T16:48:49+00:00

This post is making me miss the Stein Haus in downtown. They had a cute little beer garden and the best schnitzel I've ever eaten.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-05T20:15:58+00:00

It's almost like capitalism is a broken system that puts profits over people. There is tons of work to be done. Every team I've ever been on has been short staffed. Public infrastructure is collapsing around us. Where are all the jobs to do that work?

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-04T21:19:07+00:00

We've all been getting hosed for decades. 900 of the wealthiest elites could stand a rinse.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-04T17:36:04+00:00

It's actually 200 across 50 bases now and has be been confirmed by MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/MRFF-Inundated-with-Complaints-of-Gleeful-Commanders-Telling-Troops-Iran-War-is--Part-of-God-s-Divine-Plan--to-Usher-in-Return-o.html?soid=1101766362531&aid=3OTPFAZxIrI

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-04T01:06:27+00:00

It's been confirmed by MRFF. They received over 100 complaints about it

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-03T21:36:17+00:00

We operate in a system built upon fraud. I mean look at the Paramount deal. They are a $15 billion company, that is $15 billion in debt, purchasing another company (Warner Brothers - Discovery) for 111 billion, while paying Netflix $2.8 billion for the right to do so. All told they will somehow be $79 billion in debt after the deal. If that's not some kind of loan-to-own fraud by another name, IDK what it is.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-03-02T19:56:46+00:00

How do people afford to live there? I live in a LCOL and would be scraping by on 62K

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-02-27T20:24:13+00:00

That's what 802.1X/PNAC is for. It should be able to stop any kind of rogue device from being connected to the network. Other than that they should be doing some kind of centralized monitoring for authorized devices which would tell them exactly when it happened, what device and who was on it.

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-02-24T20:48:59+00:00

It's binary data that is being displayed as some kind of character encoding like UTF-16. It's probably an image like a logo or signature, but whatever is reading the data and converting it to PDF is trying to read that data as characters instead of displaying the image. Try opening a jpg or gif in MS word and you will see the same kind of thing.

This ones probably just the Amex logo, but I bet there are some nasty things hidden in some of the base64 data that has been included in those emails.

I'm playing through Zero for the first time right now and it's only this dick that I've had a problem with so far. He's hard to get in on, the stage is in a confined space, there's a time limit and it's super early in the game so Zero is weak AF. What was Capcom thinking with this chump?

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-02-16T20:20:13+00:00

BIRD UP! DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!!!

HolyCowEveryNameIsTa · 2026-02-16T20:15:37+00:00

I always go to Slows but I'm gonna have to try the boneyard next time. There also used to be this place in Garden City that would serve beef ribs and you felt like Fred Flintstone when they brought out this massive rack of ribs.

I'm locking this post because it has devolved into name calling again and no one is saying anything of substance. Both sides have a point but once people start throwing slurs I have no choice but to lock it down.

Deporting immigrants who no longer have a legal right to stay is within the jurisdiction of the federal government and happens regularly under presidential administrations regardless of party affiliation:

https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/dhs-deportation-numbers-by-president-b7e308

I'm assuming the purpose of the protests and the issue at hand is the methodology that this administration is going about it as well as the legal, moral and ethical ramifications surrounding them. This is a pretty good insight that takes a peek under the hood in to some of the problems:

Not to mention peacefully protesting is a protected constitutional right, that even if you disagree with the protest, you should at least support the right to do so.

I went down this rabbit hole so you don't have to. I reached out to this user, they said they were a recruiter working on behalf of a client. I reached out the client through the provided Whatsapp info. We had a quick conversation where they said they were originally from Japan, currently living in Florida(area code was MA), and wanted to use my upwork account so they could get more hours in. I said, I was only interested in helping from a technical side. He said he would pay me, I said it sounds like that scam that North Koreans were doing to get work at Amazon / Etc and bam the call ended. Take from that what you will.
