@SwiftOnSecurity I'm not aware of anyone in the US thinking it was Japan's fault. Mostly we were just scared for them and hoping they could contain it.

@SwiftOnSecurity We go to the Gulf coast of Florida to live this dream

a few months ago I switched from director to principal engineer. the first sign that this transformation is complete is that I have grown extremely curmudgeonly about attending meetings

@_its_not_real_ Kind of makes you want to fight fire with fire and report company emails that you know are legitimate if they fail the phishing criteria the company has given

@afdz_dev @sundarpichai If you put the lettuce directly on top of the meat/cheese, the lettuce will wilt. The tomato has much greater heat resistance due to its high water content.

One time early in my career, my boss didn't understand the severity of an authentication bypass I discovered. So I went to his office, had him pull up the test system on his own laptop, and logged in to his account without knowing his password. Needless to say, he was convinced.

@troyhunt Not sure about specific sites, but Chromebooks will sometimes act this way if you are not on the latest Chrome update. I'll check mine later.

@techspence Pen testing has a fixed cost that can be budgeted for in advance. The cost of fixing an unknown number of as-yet undetected vulnerabilities can't be estimated, so orgs don't know how to budget. Instead, they assume tech staff will magically have bandwidth to fix whatever's found.

@SwiftOnSecurity One of the biggest professional successes of my entire career was a failing software project I stepped in and salvaged at age 23-25.

@AQkkak @RickThomasII @elonmusk Sorry you feel that way. It's going to be hard to rebuild America if your default response is mocking instead of honest discussion. Have a good one.

@AQkkak @RickThomasII @elonmusk Actually it's been going on for many years. Google the new DHS HQ, for starters

@AQkkak @RickThomasII @elonmusk I'm not interested in sharing that level of personal information, sorry. It would be great if someone in the media did reporting on that, though! I agree it should be public record if it's not already.
