  Ouch, apparently Ryde just lost their entire customer database, and they were keeping first six and last four of CCs. Technically not banned under PCI, but zero chance they're passing their next audit. I'm guessing there's going to be some fallout when/if all the ride histories get dropped too.

  Signal can finally run on both Android and iOS as a linked device, including Android tablets! I've only been waiting for this for a decade

  Availability and office hours! I've currently got room for an additional client. If you're a startup looking to build a security program or an for outside review or course correction for your existing efforts, this is your chance to get the help you need to do it right. I'm also re-opening my office hours for folks who'd like to pick my brain on security strategy for SMEs, or on specific technical problems. If you're a CTO/VP Eng/etc. of an existing org, you can grab an h...

  Mozilla apparently shipped tab groups for Android in version 152, but as far as I can tell I still don't have them. Are they doing an A/B rollout or something? If so, how do I opt in?

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@benpate/116403046724832335 Gonna be hilarious if they add e2e and don't fix "private mentioned".

  Tech speakers, it's 2023. Stop using moms as your example of a non-technical audience. It's wrong, its not funny, and whatever you were saying, now most of your audience is not thinking about it. Just use the exec team as an example instead and get on with your life.

  If I were a CEO, I'd simply ensure my business didn't kill so many people it inspired assassins.

  So a bunch of anti-trans hate groups sent a citizen's petition to the FDA demanding regulatory action around "cross-sex" use of estrogen. Although the language is somewhere heated and while we have no indications as to the FDA's intent with respect to this petition, I have no reason not to believe the authors of this article when they describe its potential impact if adopted: https://theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-hate-groups-petitioning-fda-for-registry-of-trans...

  The documentation for this image processing library by @vruba is one of the most interesting things I've read in weeks: https://github.com/celoyd/potato/blob/main/docs/personal.md https://github.com/celoyd/potato/blob/main/README.md https://github.com/celoyd/potato/blob/main/docs/concepts.md Philosophical discussion of the nature of seeing and what am image is vs a map, fascinating technical details about how satellite imaging works and why it looks as bad as it often does, a lot of...

  Probably mostly not my audience here, but I'm currently looking for a business-side/CEO cofounder for an encrypted radio startup. There are solid funding options, but while I can build the team to make the product happen, I'm not the person to navigate the money side of things. I'm looking for a cofounder with previous startup CEO experience and executive-level experience (although not necessarily CEO) in a hardware startup specifically. EU citizen and resident, although...

  Today I've been told that C is memory safe if you're just very neat, that code is documentation, and that expecting protocol specs is a form of bias? I didn't realize it was 90s week; I'll go get a flannel.

  Many, many years ago, at school for CS and before that interning at NASA Ames, I learned to take programming seriously as engineering work, and also the level of rigor that engineering work requires. In the intervening thirty years, I have had to come to terms with the degree to which this attitude is rare in theory and vanishingly rare in practice again and again. Tooling has gotten better, but the rigor applied to the average line of code has gotten worse. I would hope that safety-critical sy...

  Repeat after me: all technical problems of sufficient scope or impact are actually political problems first.
