It helped give twitter a sense of community for me. I see that community continuing on mastadon, proving a "social network" is people, not a platform. I will continue to lurk over there, among friends. :)

Took me years to learn this in my head, years more to put into practice, and still something I need to be conscious of. Strong agreement with this advice.

This tweet is for a specific type of person - especially young and hungry ones. I’m talking to the ones who jump in and quietly save things whenever their teammates and seniors drop the ball. Sometimes when not too much is on the line, you have to just let them fail.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@mackensen Sorry to hear that.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@sogonsec Last one: have a maintenance budget for normal wear and tear. For an older house, this will need to be bigger.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@sogonsec Also, prioritize what you want in a house. After a few years we found that some stuff we really wanted we don't actually care about, and some stuff that didn't matter to us turned out to be important. Might have been better to buy less house and get it more right the next time.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@DAkacki Glad you guys made it through ok. Might be worth reporting to the police with whatever info you have - might not be an isolated incident. I think you did well to handle the situation the way you did.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@jloiselle1 @SwiftOnSecurity I was in this situation some years ago as client engineer, in the same department that did help desk and level 2 support. It was a great model. If something I deployed broke, being involved in fixing it was a great teacher, and incentive to build better.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@mackensen I like "if it's stupid and it works, then it's not stupid". I tend to be pretty picky about the definition of "works" though.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@XenoPhage @IanColdwater That just means the reason has been forgotten.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@ihors3 @CNBC @S3Partners It looks to me like about 5M shares bought to cover, while the share price simultaneously dropped. I'm certainly no expert, but I'd expect the price to increase normally - if retail traders weren't being prevented from buying. Or is there something else here I don't understand?

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@AOC @RobinhoodApp Please include Citadel in the investigation. What I am reading is that they loaned $billions to hedge funds short selling Gamestop, but that they are also the order processor for Robinhood, and that Citadel refused to take buy orders from Robinhood today. Thank you.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@TinkerSec @Pestopublic Except the hedge funds can still buy. So they can do a short ladder to drop the price while demand was artificially depressed, and can buy to cover their ludicrous short position at a discount. I'm no expert, but if everyone was selling, I'd expect more volume on the dip.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@mackensen @NukeHavoc We watched it recently. It was genuinely hard to get through. But, hey, it gave us Boba Fett, and now we have The Mandalorian, so good things sometimes come from strange places. ...very strange.

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@XenoPhage @jack_daniel @BSidesDE If I'm doing my math right, that means it's been at least 15 years, then. Would love to hear you speak again!

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@Viss That being said, the cpuc can inform you about what the specific applicable rules are, and armed with that info you might get some traction with your utility by threatening to complain to the cpuc about this specific violation. Ymmv

[Rich Santillo @SunkThought]

@Viss Yes and no. For your individual case, I assume bureaucracy won't help. If this is a pattern of behavior, and enough people report, 2 things may happen: 1. Enforcement of the rules going forward, and 2. The next time the utility applies to raise their rates, they get rejected.

@XenoPhage @Helter27 Penn State has a lot of resources for reporting and dealing with them: https://t.co/cYqyGBgbhT
When they are younger, they are black with white spots, then turn red like your picture, then they get their big wings. Come at them head-on to step on them. They jump fast.
