Quick description, Conda is like a supercharged "pip" from the Python world, and now supports other languages too. So it's like an npm/nvm as well, and beyond.

I'd like to know more about security though, as obviously this could be a huge single point of failure, but otherwise Conda is awesome.

He begins the talk "I was driving here at 90 mph...".

I find this interesting. As I recall Bill Gates had a pension for speeding too, accumulating many tickets in his Porsche in both New Mexico and later Washington State.

One Thing - Jetbrains IDE or anything else where you can configure a ton of options.

Have a cron script to constantly export the preference file and sync to cloud or local NAS.

Why are using Zetta Hosting Solutions LLC out of Bulgaria?

I'm a pretty rigorous Catholic, but they have a vanishingly small Christian and even Jewish population to my knowledge.

The Catholic Church was heavily penetrated by both Soviet and Chinese intelligence after World War II. Likely before as well.

Sorry I respect what you're doing, but just want myself and others to do the due diligence up front.

Best of luck otherwise.

Cloud certs are currently the most desired in the US right now. By that I mean, in order of precedence ... AWS, GCP/Azure, and then Oracle. I would also add the recent certs from Elastic/Hashicorp/Kubernetes are becoming more popular.

These certs I have consistently seen lead to jobs, even for those in difficult to place circumstances. They also I believe train you well for the job at hand.

I normally don't side with less security, but yes.

Historical internet websites come to mind. These are posted from time to time here.

I once read an article that theorized that as a covert means of pre-war, countries would publish bogus disease, human health, and pathology data along with fake stats on "how poisonous is XYZ things".

Wish I could find it. Struck me as creepy.

FYI the debug logs are a very curious part of all this. Signal streams them usually to a domain they keep their ownership of somewhat hidden. The domain is: debuglogs.org and the endpoint is just api.debuglogs.org.

It appears to ultimately just front for AWS S3 backend so a very common architectural pattern.

Their employee list is...strange. According to LinkedIn, all of their employees are also CEOs of their own other companies? One of their VPs has been both CEO of a lighting firm since 2014 or something, and also full time at M5 Hosting for a decade?

Likely Scenario: M5 is a front company. There just isn't enough care put into the websites / marketing, and not enough evidence on LinkedIn, to suggest this is a real business staffed by people who are working on stuff full time. And a hosting company definitely needs people full time...

The nicer they are in the interview the more that tends to indicate you will not receive an offer.

I used to wonder why this was, but kept seeing these types of anecdotes pop up again and again.

The best conclusion I have come to, which makes some sense, is that when you do well in an interview yet also some factor means you won't be moving on...the interviewer out of guilt feels compelled to be extra nice to you.

The entire Emergency Alert System for the US is bizarre. Onsolve and GovDelivery totally dominate it. They seem to have barely any engineering talent on LinkedIn.

GovDelivery, I think the same as Granicus, has always been plagued by mass spamming accusations. This comes up on reddit occasionally.

Either way, the video streaming servers, they are just what Elemental Technologies offered before they were (super allegedly) hacked by the PLA to get at Apple and Amazon in the Bloomberg article last year...
