It's more that there is a market price for SOC2 that auditors can charge, and they are adding $20-25K to the price tag, so they need the auditors to subsidize that. At least when I…

ok will do - I will also post an actual (sanitized) Type 2 IRL so we can dispel the mystery and the need for experts. It's all straightforward stuff. But give me 24 hours since my …

$50K is too high, unless you had a lot of actual process gaps to fill initially and are counting staff time in that. Also expertise isn't really that important - honestly the audit…

The policy docs are just filler. Auditors never look at them in any detail. They look for last revised date and last review date. Have bought $150 bundle online and submitted as-is…

Definitely paying too much @ $40K/$30K. Audit firms will cut their costs - don't take their first offer, it's a negotiation. Renegotiated down every year...they will want to reduce…

I agree here. Second freezer and lots of space for storage is a must. Not for tiny apartments. A suburban phenomenon mostly.

from what I see, and do, people just go there early AM 5 min before it opens. Avoids the folks who flock around the free handouts at lunchtime. Parking is easy. But you can’t wait …

Ditto for fish in Hawaii. We tried both a local “fresh off the boat” market and Costco on the same trip and Costco was definitely higher quality for local caught fish. Same for sal…

I dunno about majority internal vs shoplifting but I saw a Kroger internal report once that ~2% revenues lost annually to “loss”. It was not broken down by category, but it was the…

Agree. They also move items around. So you can’t just zoom to the one item you need, you have to go hunt.

Get a second/dedicated freezer. Juice the limes; mince the onions in a cuisinart. Freeze in 1-4 cup restaurant style containers you can get at any restaurant supply store. We also …

Totally worth the money :) https://youtu.be/c3Cq0sy4TBs

I remember first day doing some work as consultant with JPL for Cassini and a sim finished just before lunch and my collaborator says “huh, that’s interesting, the bug we have been…

Typically the os would only have access to the encrypted pin, then use special secure enclave instructions to compute inside the enclave (basically special encrypted memory inside …

I don't think it matters what anyone thinks. The reality will hit the poor hardest. Those of us who ignore the root causes, continue the same behaviors and expect different results…

IMO, looking for a high tech solution to a low tech problem is a dead end (possibly in the literal sense!) This is a human behavior problem. Consume less; ie growth at all costs is…

The initial reaction is to TL;DR as weak passwords and no MFA but I am equally/more concerned that the policy granted to vendors allows them to access more data than they really ne…

I suspect this is a botthat posts scraped papers from arxiv based on submission history, and no original comments, though happy to be proven wrong and retract if the submitter resp…

to clarify, not anecdotal to me having primary sources, but yes anecdotal to those reading my anecdote.

> This is the crux of the matter: In taking the model seriously (even "literally"), BS evaluates it on points in feature space that may never occur in practice, and may not even be…

For me, I had to turn this on its head. Define the habits and healthy routine you want and build the lifestyle around it. I was on a crash course for 15 years as a tech exec. 90+ h…

> VCs want you to lie to them so they can sell your idea to investors. Probably not “lie” but engineer the truth optimistically.

And some speculation. I see first hand a lot of high end apartments bought that sit vacant. Maybe the owners live in Asia or EU 9 months of the year, I dunno. But in some of the sw…

Not necessarily- but it takes financial savvy and raising capital and a lot of hard work...sorta like building a tech startup. In fact, I had this conversation this week randomly w…
