Readit NewsThe value of a university degree has severely deteriorated since every white collar job essentially requires having one and it will continue getting worse.
I would assume that it's worse in the US than in Europe, because in EU it seems that education is less commercialized and you can get a degree for free if you are above average.
If it were standard practice for many people, we might finally get symmetric cable. But most people aren't YouTubers. In my experience, people who aren't into tech usually have no idea their upload speeds are any slower than their download speeds, much less 25 times slower. They usually just let their phone upload their photos in the background, and it just works. Hell, I can't even find my upload speed on the consumer section of my ISP's site, only in a pdf for their business plans. Not even in legalese.
People who aren’t into tech aren’t trying to fine tune Llama2 and then upload it to a cloud machine
For example, dealing with a "legal threat" situation with the product I work on because a client got hit by ransomware and they blame our product because "we just got a security assessment saying everything was fine, and your product is the only other thing on the servers" -- checked the report, basically it just runs some extremely basic port checks/windows config checks that haven't been relevant for years and didn't even apply to the Windows versions they had, and in the end the actual attack came from someone in their company opening a malicious email and having a .txt file with passwords.
I don't doubt there are proper security firms out there, but I rarely encounter them.
That certainly helps.
Edit: thanks to everyone who wrote some insightful responses, and there are indeed many. Faith in HackerNews restored !
Pentest comes across more as checking all the common attack vectors don’t exist.
Getting out of bed to do the so-called “real stuff” is typically called a bug bounty program or security researching.
Both exist and I don’t see why most companies couldn’t start a bug bounty program if they really cared a lot about the “real stuff”
I hear what you're driving at, but "a court" cannot be both prosecutor and judge at the same time. This page is about that, possibly starting a civil suit to have a judge look at this and act accordingly.
Doesn’t this counter the entire argument?
Or his descendants might find a reference to it or figure out it was him ?
Also keep in mind that these numbers are based on estimations and definitions that give some room for interpretations, so they cannot be 100% accurate either.
Almost everything can be deemed as not worth doing because we need to fix sanitation first.
The author of the post is probably implicitly trying to say ‘everyone [who can] should’.
The person who posted about sanitation and taking “everyone” to mean literally everyone in the world, is being overly pedantic in my opinion.
They are making each time more difficult to assert the product quality. I'm super careful, but still sometimes buy from seller SHOP123456789
