Skimmed it pretty good... Yeah I think you're right and they're "ATM machining" it.
I think one of my coworkers put it best with a Lion King meme. Anymore, the responsibility of developers is "everything the light touches".
Personally I think the reason for that is you need a developer to understand everything that is going on and even at that you need one that somewhat approximates a hybrid network engineer. The shops where the infrastructure side of the house understands the ins/outs of the applications/APIs exist, but I'm thinking they are very likely the exception.

The US Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, says that social media should come with warning labels about its potential health impacts much like warnings on cigarettes and other tobacco products. CAUTION: Contains nuts

Because warnings on cigarettes and other tobacco products work so well to prevent their use.

I was happy to see it though. You're right it will not have the same impact as plastering pictures of organs on the packs like AUS does.
I think what I really want to see is to tax them all so hard that such things necessarily become the domain of non-profits and government entities.
But then, I'd have no problem with a slew of them just disappearing overnight and definitely think the world would be far better for it.

Exactly how old is that SQL Server on which your business depends? SELECT vulnerability FROM sys_servers WHERE version <= 2012
As long as they're not connected to the internet, you _should_ be fine-ish.
Of course, this scan was exposed SQL Servers. Hopefully we don't have another Slammer.

The Justice Department alleges that Adobe hid early cancellation fees and trapped consumers in pricey subscriptions. Did you want a subscription to Adobe Acrobat with that lawsuit?
|
|
|
|
|
The trick is to use a pre-paid card or a gift card or a card set to expire before the subscription term ends.
That lets the issue sort itself out, explicitly breaks auto-renewals so you can't lose track of all the things you're paying for, and it seems to work everywhere.
|
|
|
|

I'm noticing an interesting leadership theme here. Adobe doing this is a deliberate management decision.
This is why when I do subscriptions, I always use a burnable CC #. My go to card allows me to create virtual numbers that I can delete when people won't cancel things for me. Like the other poster suggests.

While this is a large number, this pay plan was actually very simple:
Elon Musk would receive a small salary - as in comparable to what a middle manager at most fortune 100 companies would receive. The huge numbers only applied if Tesla's market capitalization hit certain thresholds, and then they were in the form of stock and not cash.
The common wisdom in 2018 was that Tesla would never reach any of these market capitalization thresholds. Therefore, the risk was entirely on Musk's side and none of the side of the shareholders.

same stupid Microsoft, same stupid feds. Remember back when Hillary was SoS, and the department needed to update their secure laptops. They awarded the contract to Lenovo. Some brave soul pointed out that this is a Chinese company and likely a very bad idea.
Microsoft sorry? Highly unlikely. Same old stupid stuff - more worried about advertising in their OS rather than security. Now, three days ago, this was posted: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/microsoft-employees-cybersecurity-work-will-factor-into-their-pay.html[^]
So, Microsoft consorts with the CCP and PLA while simultaneously telling their employees that they will be held accountable. What idiot is running the ship?
