So once you've milked the 43 French billionaires to extend French spending by 2.5 years or so (this assumes you extract 100% of their wealth into actual liquidity), what's your plan for year 3?

When you build something small, you can easily see all the doors and properly guard them.

As you build something bigger and bigger, quickly, with several people building, guarding all the doors becomes exceptionally difficult without a kind of aggressive discipline which is contrary to the "go fast" culture.

Cybersecurity in practice until now, for most companies, has been an insurance problem, not a quality problem.

Such companies are quickly discovering that insurance is a post-hoc partial correction and not a proper solution.

This situation will not improve anytime soon for most companies.

The solution does not require any new magical tools.

Honestly it can drain my crypto wallet or whatever as long MacOS stops doing an imitation of Windows Vista with a billion security pop ups.

Parents who use digital pacifiers (ipads, etc) do it because they think it will make their life easier and their child happy.

They are wrong on both counts. You are stealing your kids opportunity to develop an internal world, an attention span and to self stimulate.

And your kid, who is probably fairly smart and good, will always be "difficult" in social situations. You will dread taking them out. A dead ipad will be your doom.

I promise: your kid is smart, great and can self entertain. It's never a problem in the kid, always the parents.

There is no kid who benefits from an ipad instead of being allowed to self entertain.

Conversing with your kids is great. Coloring is great.

What if your kid is a three legged midget in a horse costume? What if he's just a Claude operating a child sized robot body? What if your kid is Benjamin Button and has a crippling addiction to internet porn?

You probably shouldn't still be "entertaining your kid". Your kid can almost certainly still entertain themselves. You are not helping them by shoving an ipad in front of them.

I spent several years as a young kid with a peer who was severely disabled both physically and mentally. This kid was also very happy to entertain himself, especially with shoelaces. He loved untying and tying his shoes. He also deeply loved picture books.

Don't use people with disabilities as an excuse to be lazy.

I'm going to give you the most important parenting advice you didn't ask for:

Stop entertaining your kid.

Your kid doesn't need to be entertained. They don't need the tv, a tablet, or a scheduled production put on by their parents.

Let them be entertain themselves. They are great at it.

They will be better behaved, they will be happier and more independent. You will enjoy spending time with your kids again.

Take them out. Let them wait in line. Let them sit at the table a bit. Do slow restaurants that aren't kid friendly.

Let them bring a few small non-electronic toys or a little book, or paper and crayons.

It's not as if the kids who get the digital pacifiers are well behaved.

Usually my kids are sitting quietly at the table and playing with their little cars or whatever while some kid is melting down that he ran out of roblox or his game isn't working.

I've literally seen kids that are 9 or 10 act this way in public! Like little babies!

Some context for those not exposed to this previously.

Messages usually mean nothing. An uptick in activity means.. nothing. We're on the tail end of a major exercise so upticks in chatter are probably related to that.

Anyone who posts anything along the lines of "but there were 5x more messages or a really big message so N is going to happen!" is a crazy person. Ignore them.

It's neat, but it's not prophetic.

It's a shame Plex has failed to be functional. The moment a product has a bunch of UI refreshes but no core fixes is when you know the wrong work is being done.

I'd still be happy if Plex could turn things around, but until then Jellyfin seems to be king.

Then tell them to stop trying to use a computer, give them an apple juice and let them go back to eating their favorite color of crayon.

Listening to music with my young kids is a favorite. My wife and I also frequently invite other couples over to listen to vinyl and enjoy a cocktail or two.

We like vinyl just because it has the physicality to it but I think anything here is fine. It's the music and the shared experience.

Executive (and upper management) hiring is much more about owning and using risk, getting the management unit (your part of the org) all aligned and singing the same tune, and for executives showing that you've done this successfully across distinct business units (eg sales and engineering).

There's then a much more serious alignment pass.

Relationships can and do pre-vouch for big pieces of this such as alignment - if you've worked with someone for a decade, you are probably mission aligned.

By that logic, PA had fighter jets.

And no, limiting food and medical is not a war crime if the source being limited is from the captor and matches the treatment of their own troops.

PA was armed.

> you are not allowed to murder unarmed soldiers,

That's also false, you can absolutely kill unarmed combatants so long as they remain combatants. Eg you can bomb an artillery crew even if they don't have sidearms.

To be eligible for capture, a combatant must generally surrender.

> typically called „arresting“ when a government does it to their own citizens

I encourage you to read up on POW camps. There are no attorneys or rights. You may work POWs. There are cases in which food and medical aid can be severely limited depending on how it is sourced. You may hold POWs functionally forever.
