Insured up to $250k. No guarantee there won't be a delay in withdrawing your funds once the Fed takes over.

Right, Talking to some people in the banking industry and the fear is no one know which other banks are in similar situation.

Was on a call with a bank VP that had moved to AWS. Asked how it was going. Said it was going great after six months but just learning about availability zones so they were going to have to rework a bunch of things.

Astonishing how our important infrastructure is moved to AWS with zero knowledge of how AWS works.

"likely" "some", weasel words. Corporate marketing speak for we have no idea what happened so dream up some scenario that sounds plausible and do a press release.

Our services in AWS East are down.

If anyone ever attempts to acquire your company they'll hire a third party to do a software composition analysis audit and look for improperly licensed code reuse.

And you'll be screwed.

Definitely beta.

I installed using dotnet tool install -g --version 2.3.141-beta-g9aa8b4e9b5 Microsoft.CST.AttackSurfaceAnalyzer.CLI

None of the CSS components load when launch with asa gui.

This one needs to bake a few more months.

Companies purchase cyber insurance for a small fee and avoid risk of paying ransoms directly.

Make cyber insurance paying ransoms illegal and you'll see boards start funding IT security.

Is there any evidence that people who live in areas with better air have better health outcomes overall?

Hong Kong average life expectancy is 85. Iceland is 83. Hong Kong has poor air quality and Iceland has some of the best.

I'm for better air quality but it's just part of the puzzle.

High availability? Certainly. Elasticity? Not as well.

The right lesson is "Be a person that strives for excellence in all spheres of life".

I've been doing "Local IT" since '96 and I spun up an EC2 instance the day I saw it announced on slashdot and have been using both ever since. Both excel in some ways in the hands of good people.

Anyone thinking "I'll move to the cloud (or to on-prem) and all my problems will magically go away" is fooling themselves. If you suck at on-prem those underlying issues will carry into the cloud. If you have excellence in a well run on-prem install you'll experience great benefits leveraging the cloud.

For instance, Last month I was discussing a "move to the cloud" with a bank CTO. They had an unreliable on-prem network and moved to the cloud.. and they just discovered after suffering an outage in the cloud what an "availability zone" was. The same attitudes that made their on-prem unreliable, insecure, expensive will make the cloud the same way for them.

There are lots of dumb reasons but there are also things like we require Fire Extinguishers in our data centers to get a certificate of occupancy.

This explains why zoom and powerpoint presentations numb your grey matter.

A lot of zoom calls don't show hand gestures. PowerPoint is always turning your attention away from the speaker.

It's bee a couple years but the web browser plugins for BitWarden were unreliable. Our power users made it work but our average office user complained non-stop and moved back to using notepad. Maybe BitWarden has improved since then but it was too immature to rollout to the average office user.
