What about this scenario:

• you keep your main garage door, side doors, and windows locked
• provide a key to anyone who wants to borrow your lawnmower or whatever
• someone discovers a window you mistakenly left unlocked and starts using it to take stuff without using a key

Would this be considered breaking in? Probably. Here is where the analogy breaks down; if I were to leave the front door of my house unlocked, even if there’s a welcome mat outside, anyone who enters without my knowledge or consent can be charged with breaking and entering (yes, even though no actual breaking is involved).

The interesting thing with public APIs is that there are generally terms and conditions associated with creating an account and acquiring a key, though if you are hitting an unauthenticated endpoint you technically never agreed to them. In this particular case with Authy, it would probably be argued that the intent was to acquire data by exploiting a vulnerability in the custodian’s system and use it for nefarious purposes or profit. I’d call it a hack.

To build on you analogy: if you left your garage door open and people came in and started taking your things, is that not stealing?

They could bundle in my idea of having a telephone in your house, not a cell phone more like a land phone

You know what they call alternative medicine when it works? Medicine.

I signed up for a family plan a couple years ago and it’s honestly one of the last subscriptions I would cancel. I can justify it by the literally hundreds of hours of watching ads me and my family would have been subjected to otherwise.

Got me good

Your girlfriend has birthmarks all over her body?

It’s an odd position to be in; I work in the private sector but my company deals almost exclusively with government and NGO contracts, so at times I feel like I’m public sector.

What I’ve noticed is that even though the desired outcome is nearly identical for both sectors, the buzz words associated with each is what determines who responds to my job applications. As an example:

Private: IaC and Policy-as-Code, supply chain and software composition analysis, SAST, DAST, etc.

Public: Compliance automation, risk management frameworks, risk quantification (this one has generated a lot of excitement recently), etc.

This is purely anecdotal, but you may find adjusting your resume to include some of these buzzwords as applicable to the industry to which you are applying may help you get your foot in the door.

To reiterate, yes I know in the end all of these companies strive toward the same goals, whether it be passing audits or being able to demonstrate prudent security practices to clients, sometimes the hiring manager is looking for specific terminology and will discard any applications that exclude it.

LLM just autocomplete on steroid.

Funny you should say this. I only have anecdotal evidence from me and a few friends, but the general consensus is that autocomplete and predictive text are much worse now than they used to be.

Why is thinnest ever placed in such high regard? Have you seen how ridiculous the new iPad Pro looks when the Pencil is attached to it for charging?

I think I’m in the vocal minority in that I really don’t give a shit about thin, especially if it affects performance, repairability, or battery life.

My money is on Thomson. Possibly Thompson.

One of my home servers was popped once, they stuck a new MOTD on there to let me know how foolish I was and I haven’t made that mistake since. So… yay greyhat?
