There’s a lot of data out there about software engineering salaries, but not as much for cybersecurity professionals. How do cybersecurity salaries compare to SE salaries?

Neat

OP: asks for advice about IRC

just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC

…

just_another_person: why doesn’t anyone appreciate how helpful I am?

Wasn’t it founded by the original founder of Twitter, not ex-employees? Not that it makes much difference…

Quoting my previous comment:

Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

In other words, why “fix” it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain’t broke?

If you still don’t understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn’t make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.

People still use it for the same reason we use email… Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine? Anyone who wants to use matrix can set up a bridge, anyway. And I wouldn’t consider discord a good alternative.

Can’t recommend this enough. I found a lightly used steelcase leap v1 on Craigslist for $120 (one owner). It was the same price as what I paid for a new EZBoy office chair from Costco, but the EZBoy started falling apart after less than a year. This Steelcase is over 15 years old and it looks and feels better than the other chair did when it was new. My back pain also went away when I got it, but I got a new mattress around the same time so it was probably a combination of the two… I do sit at my desk for 10+ hours a day, though.

There are other similar chairs (eg. Herman Miller Aeron), and while I hate to recommend reddit, I haven’t found a better source for info on second hand high-end office chairs. If you’re considering a new office chair and suffer from back pain (sorry OP, I know you aren’t looking for a new chair), consider a higher-end used chair.

That depends on your OPSEC.

Isn’t the same true in the EU, then?

You also don’t need to show any ID for a business to meet “know-your-customer” regulations. Can you get a phone number without revealing your identity?

I believe the same is true in the US.

Not their supply chain, everyone else’s.

Yes and no. All Android phones run some variation of Linux actually.

At this point, that’s kind of like saying Macs run a variation of BSD. It’s technically true, but not practically useful in most cases.

They are fundamentally different types of vehicles. But putting that aside, if you want to compare the largest payload that each vehicle can transport you wouldn’t just use the pickup truck’s GVWR, you would also include it’s towing capacity. There’s a reason 90% of the time people use a pickup to haul something, they’re towing.

This is why we can directly compare the two vehicles payload capacity.

No, comparing a zeppelin with a pickup will never be a direct comparison.

You’re comparing a pickup truck to a zeppelin, there’s no way to make that apples to apples. If someone needs to move something big with a truck they’re probably going to tow it, not try to load it into the bed.

Because of their smaller and the switch to helium Zeppelin NTs has a miniscule payload capacity at 4200 pounds. To put that into perspective that’s the same payload capacity as a Ford F250.

And that’s only the bed capacity. An F250 can tow over 20,000 lbs depending on the trailer design. Most trucks and SUVs can tow >4200lbs.

Several categories like incitement, false advertising and CSAM should not be acceptable “speech”.

In those examples it’s not the speech that’s illegal, there’s a real crime that the speech is part of. False advertising is a form of fraud, but if there’s no fraud involved (satire, humor, education, etc) it’s legal.

If freedom of speech only applies to “acceptable” speech, then it isn’t really freedom of speech.
