Uninstalled my AirBNB because of 2 resolution issues with hosts that were not in my favor despite me providing all documentation and (damning) evidence.

The reason I should have uninstalled it much longer is because it's toxic for rent prices. I now pay more for hotels and sleep well.

I got rid of Uber for the same reason.


We do have tools in every step of the sdlc so we can find issues as early as possible. Anything that is exploitable and left unmatched is a compliance violation so we take it very seriously. That said, exploitability is very (expensive) hard to proof, so in practice we try to mitigate via upgrading instead of long pointless discussions about risk. The second thing this forces us, is to look at complexity and tech-debt in a new light.


And in what industry/sector (possibly markets) are you mainly operating in ?


This link is now on Google News lol.


The AABill hits hard against Australia being a useful jurisdiction alternative to the US. Heck this law has made it impossible to hire any Australian National into security critical positions outside AUS. And the same law made services by fastmail and Atlassian suspect.


Is he a realtor politician? Sorry I'm not familiar with him. Genuinely interested if these points are valid though because it would be insane scary.


Because extending trust usually works retrospectively?

Or

which battle tested applications exist today using crypto+, that illustrate it's a better choice than what sofar held up under libsodium (which is a lot)?


My comment was intended to be constructive, not to spark a flamewar. If you compare Crypto++ and Libsodium, you’ll notice they were created in different decades. This reflects that, at one point, C++ developers predominantly used Crypto++, while later, Libsodium emerged as an alternative.


Defining minimum support period is already required by law in UK and will also be mandatory in EU as of next year.


Checks out for Europe provided you're not an immigrant. Being blond also helps. I never get flagged for traffic inspections or in any way harrased by cops. But I constantly see people who aren't my skin color, or simply poor, get treated rough. True for France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and based on personal experience. ACAB.


Python 70x worse than C


Immediately gets slapped over the head by the requirement: "preventing downgrade to a vulnerable version" (which would be just a matter of enough time passing)


And by "vulnerable version" they mean the version before they added ads to the boot screen.
