Got it, thanks!

I’m confused. This is true from every angle from which you look at the wall right? So there has to be quadratically less reflection than e.g. a mirror, but still a lot more then a completely black su…

That’s a strong claim. Originality is also a vague concept and not binary.

These companies do not sell security, they sell products that need to be secure. The restaurant sells food which needs to be safe. A more apt analogy would be a restaurant saying " food safety i…

Frustrating but recognizable. Having a framework in place allows you to quantify the risk and effort, and makes it less of an opinionated shouting match and more of an analysis. The challenge will the…

I agree with the solution, but what do you mean with "better" in the first sentence? Spelling out the complete approach wasn't suitable for the article, but the ISO 27001 framework spel…

It’s a pretty powerful one-liner right? ;)

That’s beautiful and succinct. I wasn’t aware of it, thanks for sharing!

Thank you. I hadn’t heard that one before but exactly right :)

The title was edited here by mods (I liked the original, but "BS" is a maybe a bit clickbaity?). Could it be changed to: "Security is our top priority" is meaningless. ?

Author here. I agree with what I think you mean, but stating it like that is too simplistic in my view. Money is a great way to measure effort and results, and it's top priority in that at the en…

I'd argue that going for 0 failures in virtually any domain will lead to inefficiency. You need some failures to get the feedback that you've "under-engineered" something. Without …

I'm looking for a machine like this (affordable, small, low power usage) with 64GB memory. If anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears.

100%. It’s obvious that text based learning is not the best for many fields. An image, diagram, animation or game mechanic can make concepts “click” much quicker and better. With the ever increasing s…

I'm in NL and often use this website to check for day-ahead pricing: https://energie.anwb.nl/actuele-tarieven It's very frequent indeed. I noticed that it's mostly duri…

4.2" three color modules are 12 USD on AliExpress without volume discounts. How much cheaper does it have to become to make it viable?

I've been tempted to buy this one more than once: https://shop.m5stack.com/products/m5paper-esp32-development-... …

Why am I not surprised? ;) Open Regulatory is doing great work, the founder is a fantastic guy. A breath of fresh air in the opaque and boring regulatory world.

Your regulatory approach seems well researched. Nice job on that! Most people underestimate how much time and effort it takes to get a medical device certified. Launching as a non-medical device first…

What made them mad geniuses? I saw their equipment from time to time in catalogs but was too young to realize they had some kind of special reputation.

Wow, those codes bring back memories. I remember trying to find the exact right type numbers on online forums, to find the ones that could be overclocked the most. Never mind that I was about 13 and d…

True, and for the bigger companies you can assume this will be handled correctly. A lot of smaller companies don’t follow the rules that strictly. Off-topic: if I understand the GDPR correctly, applic…

Off-topic, but I would one day like to start a tech hub there called "Sicilian Valley". An ideal place for techies from northern Europe to spend the winter. Rent an office with your team for…

Why would they choose to do so?

Prompt engineering is hard, and not a one size fits all solution.

As you were submitting this question I was finishing this on-topic blog post. https://blog.waleson.com/2024/05/the-long-long-tail-of-ai-ap... Short answer: Yes I think so.…
