    It certainly can be a good thing! But it can also be considered a bad thing that you have to keep taking them, and have to keep paying for them forever. A one-time fix (a cure) can…

    SOC2 requires a company to write policies in a large number of areas, and to demonstrate that they're complying with the policies they wrote. AFAIK SOC2 does not require anything m…

    I think they mean they're drugs you have to keep taking forever (for the rest of your life) to keep the effects.

    It's not just down, it has errors. Not merely some, but elevated errors across all models.

    I do French-style omelets in a carbon steel pan, on an electric cooktop. Mine's an 8.5" omelet pan, perfect for two egg omelets. I treat it a lot like a wok: heat up until a bit of…

    Runny scrambled (French omelet) isn't too bad on carbon steel IME. And certainly possible on cast iron, since that was the type of pan used when Carême wrote his cookbook. By Escof…

    To add (and agree), if you've got (say) a 10-word Diceware-style passphrase with ≥128 bits of entropy, the point of a KDF becomes solely for the domain separation that KDFs provide…

    Not all providers tread dots and plusses the same. Gmail ignores dots (strips them out), and omits a plus and anything after it. Some providers include dots, so stripping them will…

    They also believe in eternal torture as punishment. If someone doesn't accept their god, their god will send that person's soul to hell to be tortured forever. Therefore, essential…

    Nearly every bug is at best a denial of service. If the service worked as expected, there wouldn't be any bug. CVSS considers any denial of service a security issue. Therefore, all…

    How would that work? If you only pay for one day, your access (read and write) gets cut off after the first month. Then if you don't pay the bill for the entire grace period, your …

    Boo! Permanent Dawn time is better. Every day at 03:00, set the time when the upper limb of the sun will cross the sea-level horizon at the equator to 06:30. That means kids never …

    No, it's "jitter that mimics human cursor movements detected by Cloudflare's Precursor script". It'll just be another arms race.
