Great slide deck! This talk provides a data driven analysis of how accounts get compromised. Then it provides an in-depth overview of the defense we found effective at Google to protect users from account compromise. elie.net/talk/account-protec…@elie
The upside, if you run for office and your motive is purely in the public interest, quid pro quo doesn’t exist.
You can drive your Trump truck right through that hole to riches!
Agreed. I’ve noticed that certs seem more important on the US East coast, perhaps due to more government contract jobs.
I don’t have any certs either. For me, it’s not the effort/cost for the cert, it’s the ongoing costs and “earning” CEUs.
Yes, burnout and gatekeeping.
Personally, I remove cert and education requirements from job listings and instead allow equivalent experience.
That said, I do recognize that biased hiring practices means that some candidates show up with numerous certs to signal their expertise.
Not sure who needs to hear this, but have your kids skip taking the SAT/ACT and instead direct them to a university that doesn’t require meaningless gatekeeping tests.
Community colleges are one choice, or there are more than 1k universities to choose: fairtest.org/university/opti…
As other research has found with the SAT, a new study shows the ACT is useless as a predictor - in this case, of college completion: is.gd/3t3YqM. There's simply no excuse for these tests, & forcing non-college-applicant HS kids to take them is even more outrageous
Remarkable. Electronic patient records systems used by thousands of doctors were programmed to automatically suggest opioids at treatment, thanks to a secret deal between the software maker and a drug company. @emmarcourt reports. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @technology
I had a @lyft ride that was quoted at $29, but I was charged $64. Turned out the driver didn’t end the ride for over an hour after dropping me off.
Lyft refunded the overage, but it’s a first for me. Guess I’ll pay closer attention from now on.
Travel hack, using the Do Not Disturb hanger as a peep hole cover.
More generally, why don’t hotels have peep hole covers? Wasn’t the $55 million awarded to Erin Andrews warning enough?
