That's my problem with SPACs. The people who put them together walk away with all the money. IronNet, 23andMe, and Adstra, had similar drops.

Duo Security veteran has an idea for detecting number of SaaS subscriptions in an org by scraping Duo/Okta logs. Posts code generated by ChatGPT to Gitub.

Aside from the guidance offered in the other comments, look at working at a cybersecurity vendor where there are multiple tracks. At a big vendor there are the traditional IT security roles for network, endpoint, cloud, GRC, IAM, etc. But there are also roles in sales, marketing, operations, product management, and administration. All have entry points that do not require cybersecurity expertise. But you can work your way from an entry role in any direction.

54% of 3,175 cybersecurity vendors are hiring still this year.

If you get lucky you may work for a high flying success and participate in their IPO. At any rate it can be a lot of fun.

Looks awesome. I just want to use it to play three card monte.

Get to know everyone in accounting. Both payroll and purchasing.

Probably because of all the SEO.

We went through this process. Started with Airtable + Softr which took a weekend to demonstrate the desired functionality. But we switched to bubble + Airtable and launched in three months. Then we moved off Airtable to use the bubble db. Finally we migrated to Xano for the db because it has much better security. So bubble + Xano. We have 1,400 work flows and 40 API endpoints and 45 tables.

I recently passed half a million emails in my inbox (over 15 years), and 325K unread emails. I am hoping that someday I can extract intelligence from all of that data.

I track 31 API Security vendors (not including the big guys like Imperva and Vericode.) This approach is going to disrupt a space that has taken in just over a billion dollars in funding in the last two years. Well done!

Any security tool that helps devs has to go to market through opensource in my opinion.

This is great. I studied FEM in school and got my first job in industry as a structural analyst. I started my own firm when I was 25 and employed 22 analysts that I contracted to Pontiac Motors.

Apparently I write like Cory Doctorow. I am fine with that. But you could take any non-fiction prose and have one answer. Need more evidence that they also looked at Michael Lewis, Malcom Gladwell, etc.

Same day closing. Gartner talked about this 20 years ago. ERP and accounting systems that do not require 4-8 weeks to close the books every quarter.

Same solution for scenario planning. What is the impact of a sole supplier in Thailand deliver just in time being flooded out for 3 weeks?

What happens to the bottom line if days outstanding receivables grow to 54 or 90?

Sounds like the best of Axis Security and Beyond Identity. Well done. Kudos for not using "Zero Trust" in your description!

So 2.4 billion light years away, yet several times the article says things like "This event, because of its relative proximity to Earth, is also a unique opportunity" and "Because this burst is so bright and also nearby, we think this is a once-in-a-century opportunity."

2.4 billion light years is not close.

Since there is zero evidence of any comet having water on it this should not be a surprise. It's like every scientist just glommed on to what they learned in grade school: comets are dirty snowballs, or icy dirt balls. Ever comet visited by spacecraft has looked exactly like an asteroid. Sample returns do not bring water back. Before everybody piles on with "comet halos are water!" Realize that comet halos are actually made up of dust and OH ions. It is an unproven assumption that the OH comes from water being ionized by sunlight. (Which by the way is not powerful enough to do anything at the orbit of Jupiter where many comets develop their tails.)

But, it's fun to watch scientists be astonished every time there is evidence that comets are asteroids.

Your mileage may definitely vary. I have written 10 books. Probably a total of 40,000 sold over twelve years. Maybe they just suck, or cybersecurity is too niche. Or, most likely, I suck at marketing.

But it is definitely worth it. For me, books fuel paid speaking gigs. Which was a great plan until COVID. But there is nothing like the intense focus for months. It is addictive. Send one book to the publisher and you want to start the next one.

I'll stick with the AlphaSmart with 800 hours of battery life. I bought mine on eBay for $25.

When I use these devices the screen size is not a problem. Whole purpose is just to get the words out.

I once thought of the brilliant idea: The US should switch the dollar to blockchain. Then it could eliminate all taxes and replace it with a surcharge on every transaction. Then I looked at GDP ($24 trillion) versus the Federal budget ($3 trillion although spending is twice that at $6 trillion.) That surcharge would have to be 25% to cover all expenditures!

I wish I could get a job that pays well, offers camaraderie, fulfillment, and opportunities to grow. I have tried many times to fit in. In a 35 year career the longest I ever held a job was 4 years. I finally figured out that I was not employable. Happy to be working for myself.

Came here to say this. When I was at PwC it seemed like the CFO at all of our clients came from PwC.

$1,800/month for two of us. Both 63 years old. In the US. Vision and dental extra.

Not a new idea. The World has been cruising for years. https://aboardtheworld.com/

Why England was deforested.

I use loops.so a YC funded startup. It is a monthly charge though. But super simple to use for product updates. The "loops" part I have not used yet which is emails triggered by actions.

Kind of strange that you only send a couple of marketing emails a year. What's up with that?

This is all great. Signing and verifying software is important. But it is woefully inadequate in a post Solarwinds-Notpetya-FLAME world. We need something that allows an organization to verify that code has not been maliciously tampered with. I can only think of a combination of sandboxing to detect detonation and C&C comms, and reverse engineering to compare the updates with previous versions. The last is problematic because most licensing bars reverse engineering but oh well..

Alfvén was pretty much the father of the electric universe theory.

From Wikipedia:

In 1937, Alfvén argued that if plasma pervaded the universe, it could then carry electric currents capable of generating a galactic magnetic field.[6] After winning the Nobel Prize for his works in magnetohydrodynamics, he emphasized that:

    In order to understand the phenomena in a certain plasma region, it is necessary to map not only the magnetic but also the electric field and the electric currents. Space is filled with a network of currents which transfer energy and momentum over large or very large distances. The currents often pinch to filamentary or surface currents. The latter are likely to give space, as also interstellar and intergalactic space, a cellular structure.[7]

His theoretical work on field-aligned electric currents in the aurora (based on earlier work by Kristian Birkeland) was confirmed in 1967,[8] these currents now being known as Birkeland currents.[citation needed]

Alfvén's work was disputed for many years by the senior scientist in space physics, the British mathematician and geophysicist Sydney Chapman.[9] Alfvén was regarded as a person with unorthodox opinions in the field by many physicists,[10] R. H. Stuewer noting that "... he remained an embittered outsider, winning little respect from other scientists even after he received the Nobel Prize..."[11] and was often forced to publish his papers in obscure journals. Alfvén recalled:

    When I describe [plasma phenomena] according to this formalism most referees do not understand what I say and turn down my papers. With the referee system which rules US science today, this means that my papers are rarely accepted by the leading US journals

----- Plasma does indeed pervade the universe. Electromagnetic forces are 10^^30 times more powerful than gravity and decrease linearly with distance, not with the square. They play a much bigger role in cosmology than gravity. eUniverse theory explains many things, like the rotation of galaxies with no need to invent dark matter. Also, star formation through the pinch effect mentioned above.

A technical reading of GDPR leads one to think that data in a backup should also be deleted. But in practice most orgs are treating Article 7, The Right to Erasure, as meaning "make no longer publicly available."

That still leaves the issue of ensuring processes are in place to make sure the "deleted" data is not restored from backups.

I remember emailing Scott McNealy in 1995 telling him urgently that he should opensource Solaris. If I had persuaded him it would be a different world today. We would not have had to live through two decades of NT on servers.
