Here's an interesting paper that looks at blood plasma protein contents and uses bioinformatics processes including learned models to identify plausible biofeedback pathways respon…

These are fair criticisms. Fodder for future studies. I only added these to say there's enough evidence to be questionable of the null hypothesis with regard to long COVID physiopa…

Though it is worth noting there is experimental clinical data providing a plausible pathway to suggest long COVID is a result of cell activity dysfunction with plausible biomarkers…

If you build robust privacy guidance mechanisms into the fabric of your startup from the beginning, your ability to handle risk management around these types of cases can be resour…

Are they going to put "fired the people who used to enforce our change control procedures" in the post-mortem?

> $80k could easily afford this, which is a low bar for someone with a moderately decent job. $80k is not a low bar, and this is insulting to really talented people I know stuck in…

I used to dig ditches in places where excavators couldn't go for a living, and I'm familiar with the contract rate differences for that type of labor and equipment. My point is tha…

Yes, there is an inconsistency in the amount of effort expended to survive versus the outcomes of that effort. I can't reconcile them in my head. I'm watching my friend trying not …

You can read lots of comments in these threads about the cost/benefit analysis of mitigating the vulnerabilities. And whenever that cost/benefit calculation gets very complex, the …

Also, startups have such an advantage now that there is an ecosystem of COTS and SaaS tooling that can help you do a complete integration strategy. It's arguable MFA regulations wo…

While normally I would agree wholeheartedly with this, in this very instance I see meaningless abstraction in service of justifying consumer harm. The phishing TTPs outlined in the…

The TTPs outlined in the article could absolutely be mitigated by use of hardware keys, and this would reduce customer risk. You are right about the liability and support calculati…

Lack of knowledge of vulnerability is not the limiting factor in this case. All a "free for all" would do in this case is make more noise in which malicious actors can hide in the …
