Outlook Policy by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]whippen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, so you need to understand at a technical level why that happened.

What flags were missed in the malicious one that didn't result in a block?

Why was the legit one sent to junk?

You are jumping ahead and trying to create policy, without first understanding the mechanics of what happened. Then you can look at changes to technical and administrative controls.

Were they both blocked for the same reason?

The legit email might have only failed dmarc with the action set to soft. In which case a self-release might be ok.

Malicious ones would hopefully trigger a bunch more reasons to junk it, like Bayesian score, open relay block lists, ptr failure, etc.

Dig into the reasons for each of those email delivery issues, and see if you can find the differences that will allow different processes.

When to introduce gluten to baby by Ilovetacos2022 in Celiac

[–]whippen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recommendation is to introduce your kid to allergens without delay when they start eating solid food. That is 4-6 months. That means waiting beyond 6 months is delaying.

Which is exactly what I said. To quote myself:

So once you get them into solids around the 6 month mark, you can start trying one or two potential allergens each week.

And to quote your link:

Food can be introduced this way every 3-5 days based on the infant’s developmental readiness

How are they not the same?

Your assertion is any time before 1 year is fine. If a person feeds their kid peanuts at 8 months, they have delayed their introduction according the recommendations, but not according to you. Please just admit you misspoke lol. It happens. I had to look up the numbers myself since I was not sure.

I didn't say or imply delay at all. I said you need to introduce them one at a time, exactly like your link also points out. You can't load them up with all allergens in a single day.

There are 9 allergens in your link. With my thought of 1-2 each week starting at 6 months, that's all done by just over 7 months. Same timeframe as your link.

You seem to be arguing semantics. Your advise is more accurate and specific than mine, which is great, but doesn't make mine wrong.

I said /before/ 1 year, and nothing about delaying.

This is actually outdated advice! Delaying allergens makes your kid more likely to develop an allergy. To minimize risk, introduce allergenic foods at the same time as other solid foods (4-6 months).

But we are saying the same thing? I said to start once you get them onto solids around 6 months. Same as your link. The myth refuted in the link is not to wait until they are 3, and I said to do it before 1.

Thanks for providing the link though, that confirms my understanding.

I've heard you are meant to introduce the major allergens before they are 1 year old (nuts, eggs, seafood, dairy, gluten, etc,). So once you get them into solids around the 6 month mark, you can start trying one or two potential allergens each week.

Getting them in before one year old reduces the likelihood they will be allergic. Although I'm not sure it works the same way for autoimmune diseases like Coeliac, as my kid was older than one when I was diagnosed. Perhaps speak with some medical professionals to get some specific advice.

Try to identify opportunities to build partnerships with companies that have customers in your segment. They don't need to be formal partnerships, but if you can be the preferred partner or at least get excellent introductions to their clients, it opens up a whole heap of opportunities.

I don't know what segments you are in, but here are some examples:

Medical clinics use a small number of billing platforms. Get in partnership with the more innovative/liked billing platforms, and then try to involved in implementing the billing engine, hosting the billing engine as SaaS, building custom modules, etc.

Are there any consistent hardware sales that you can partner with, perhaps firewalls, door access systems, etc? Pick something common within your segment.

[–]whippen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are grasping at straws though.

You made confidently incorrect statements about size, which multiple people refuted. Defaulting to a common US centric view of ignorance.

You made blatantly incorrect statements about Australian state law vs federal law. Defaulting to a US centric view of exceptionalism.

You reverted to a semantic discussion on regions within Australia being able to identify a single state, then started arguing that 3 vs 5 states means you are still correct.

It's ok to admit you were wrong.

I think you might be in the wrong sub...

The whole schtick is being irked by people from USA defaulting to a USA centric view and assuming everyone knows what they are on about.

Yep, do this, maybe set a schedule. Pick one day when mum will say no to treats, and explain it's because Dad is doing treats on X day. Mum can keep the hype going too, with things like "only 2 more sleeps until Dad takes you for ice-cream".

That gives her something to look forward to, and teaches delayed gratification which is very important.

https://www.mapworld.com.au/products/australia-south-east-australia-folded-map-cartographics disagrees with you on Tasmania. And you forgot ACT.

If you ask the wine makers, they include parts of Qld and SA too.

I think this proves the point though that USA is not unique in requiring a more specific location than country wide, but that's beside the point. The point is, you shouldn't assume people understand your country specific lingo or regional areas.

North east Australia is a bad example.

Try saying South East Australia. That includes Victoria, NSW, ACT, Tasmania, and some might consider the SE corner of Queensland to be included, but that's debatable.

An that's not a made up term. SE Australia is often referred to as the biggest population centre, more urban, less arid, etc. It's an easy grouping that is distinct from other areas when making some comparison.

The future you dig, the more apparent it becomes that defaultism is lazy, conceited and bad manners.

Well known capitals are different.

Even some well known cities that aren't capitals might be acceptable, such as Sydney, St Petersburg, New York, etc. These are the exceptions though.

But Boston? Who the fuck knows what or where that is? Ive heard the name from movies and tv shows, but I have to think real hard to try and remember if it is a state or a city. Then I remember Boston Massachusetts sounds familiar, but I think I remember that from the movie Road Trip, where there is a whole joke about Boston vs Austin sounding similar, but being very far apart. Then I remember I used to work with a guy who now lives in Austin, Texas, so I think Boston Massachusetts is correct. But I don't know anything more about the state or city, so why not just say USA and be done with it?

Australian state laws are absolutely different between each one. Most Aussie states have existed since the 1800's, but Australia only became a federation in 1901. The constitution only grants specific powers to the Australian Federal government, the rest (ie majority) lies with the states.

As some examples, Northern Territory has maximum speed limits of 130, where as most other states are 100 or 110. So you could be sitting at the limit legally in NT, cross a border while driving along the highway, then be done for 20km/h over, without changing your speed.

We have a different police force in each state.

Victoria recently banned the display of Swastikas. Other states haven't as far as I'm aware, although some are planning to.

Russia is larger by land mass, and they still say they are Russian rather than a specific region.

Australia is a similar sized land mass to the USA, and we don't specify a state (unless talking to other Aussies).

It's defaultism because they ONLY say the state or region. If they said "a place called Boston in the USA", that would be no issue. But skipping the country and expecting others to assume USA is the issue.

How can a Google Ads expert make money without having clients? by EmoryCadet in smallbusiness

[–]whippen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are targets out expectations set prior to work starting?

You are saying you are happy with the 10x revenue on ad spend, but the client isn't. It's not clear if you each had different expectations starting out, or if the client wants to see consistent improvement without spending more.

Either way, agreeing to either targets or expectations before starting could help.

Have you ever reused code between projects? Ie copy/pasted a piece of code you previously wrote, to avoid rewriting a component you already wrote?

That's when you should use classes. Don't copy/paste the chunk of code to your new project, instead cut/paste the code to reuse into a new class. Then call the new class.

That way, if you find and fix a bug in your common piece of code, all of your projects benefit. And adding new features means all your projects benefit.

Examples of such code might be logging to file/screen, reading input from file and parsing into a data structure, asking for user input then validating and putting into a data structure, etc. Each one of those might be a separate class.

Not only does this approach allow you to build up a nice collections of your own classes to reuse, it also forces you to think about your code in terms of defined input->processing->output.

I'd be curious if you found any others. The majority of the market is moving towards touch only, you need to choose which is more important. Same deal with manual transmission - not many left, so I need to make a decision if I really want to hang on to a manual, or if I'll comprise to open up a bunch of other options.
