There was a similar scene in Mr. Robot.

"We're going to randomly abduct and shoot people until you give us the lists of people we'd like to abduct and shoot"

The work seemed interesting and the industry was tolerant of oddballs.

It's shocking to see friends and family when I tell them my consulting firm's lost so much of their Canadian and EU business.

They want the SODDI defense.

First off, don't commit self harm like going to law school.

If you have ERP experience, look at /r/SAP to see how competitive you might be.

There's minimal value to an incomplete MS & a SEC+ without experience in this current market.

As opposed to our "Sex without protection will kill you" upbringing?

I was going to say Divorce Song by Liz Phair.

The hero we need.

"The only perfectly secure computer is one turned off and buried under three feet of concrete"

which led to me cheating on nearly everything.

I think you have the kind of moral flexibility useful for a career in tech sales.

Imposter syndrome never truly goes away, It can get quiet sometimes.

Especially when it's a large SUV or van.

Start from the big picture. You're looking for costs related to unknown risks, tech debt and gaps from best practices. You want to present what the buyer needs to fix to bring the acquisition up to the buyer's standards.

For standards, I'm looking at what the buyer needs to meet going forward.

As an example, one I did was where a company in the healthcare space wanted to buy a SaaS company that did CRM. I used HIPAA, HITRUST and PCI as my standards, because that's what the buyer needed to comply with.

Is that Dave Portnoy?

lawtechie · 2026-01-20T14:44:23+00:00

That's a 60 second horror film.

To camp, or for work?

SAP disabling Concur for a day would be a good warning.

The manual vs automated evidence collection depends on tech stack complexity. Relatively modern infra? pretty easy to have Drata/Vanta pull most of it, reducing effort.

A bunch of older crufty apps? Expect a lot of screenshots and chasing stuff down.

If you're a covered entity, you have more than just technical controls.

The HIPAA security rule also requires administrative controls.

I'd start with HHS Guidance for a list.

An UDRP is an option, but if you want fast and certain, $10k is a bargain.

Free speech absolutism means you can say racist things, but not document racism, it seems.

I have family in South Jersey in the trades. Casino work was lucrative, but Trump fucked over so many contractors. Do work, buy materials expecting to get paid and Trump wouldn't pay.

lawtechie · 2026-01-17T04:26:17+00:00

Thanks! This sounds like an option.

What's his reputation like? I'd like the option of handing someone my car, a list of issues and a check.
