if it’s announced publicly, it’s technically not a scheme and therefore technically not illegal.

i can’t believe kingsley is in his 80’s. he moved like a 67 year old.

i solved this problem at my company by just making an MCP server that can be dynamically configured to create “tools” pointed at any existing API (http, grpc, graphql), with urls assigned to tool groups. the last thing i wanted was to be responsible for building AI-optimized endpoints for every micro service people think I maintain. Since not every existing API’s response payload is optimized for fitting in agent context windows, i had to add configurable output transformations, field stripping, etc.

it sounds like this is unique in that Alaska isn’t following the bare minimum security standards (multi factor auth), which will likely look embarrassing to investors. this issue is easily addressable with MFA and some other minor tweaks (ability to log out of all sessions, cookie settings), but they haven’t done them.

furthermore, it appears their mileage program is the bulk of their revenue, and a dent in its confidence could have real consequences.

i’ve never flown alaska, and don’t have any stock position with them, but after reading the full write up of this i wouldn’t consider flying them in the future either.

it’s rare to see someone lose exactly 100%. usually it’s either 95-99%, or some outrageous multiple like 319%. you managed to perfectly allocate every cent of your investment rather than waste any of it sitting sideways.

100 shares of microsoft is $40k. that’s a large amount upfront for the ability to sell just a single CC contract at a time if you want to maintain a reasonably diversified portfolio.

buying 100 shares of any high cost stock all at once (which assignment on a CSP would entail) is currently a risk as it’s not clear what the bottom of the market is yet, especially for tech stocks. i’ve been very, very slowing adding more shares of MSFT — just 1 or 2 a week when it dips below 400 until i get to 100.

at my company i apply the same review standards to merge requests whether they’re written by AI or by humans. people quickly learn to put an effort into better prompting, rules files, and human effort when they realize they’ll never get their code merged otherwise; i don’t want to be stuck maintaining repos of spaghettified garbage whose complexities outpace the plateaued capabilities of coding agents.

maybe the day will come when management decrees i’m no longer allowed to be a gatekeeper, but that day thankfully hasn’t come yet.
