As a counterpoint here is mine

Except way off peak it's faster to take bart than drive (north berkeley to downtown SF). I usually take a trans bay bus when going to office (closer to my house) which is $6 one way. BART is like $8. (So round trip under $20). Vs driving is $8 for the bay bridge and then somewhere between $20 and $60 to park for the day (no free parking at my office).

Turned 40 this past week. Was just bemoaning that most of my company don't get the :holdontoyourbutts: Samuel L Jackson emoji in slack and now this.

It's impossible to delete anything on the internet. You can't control everybody's backups.

I moved to the bay area in 2012, absolutely hated Musk back then and thought all of his success was hanging onto other's coattails and good timing (which fair enough, is a skill + huge privilege in and of itself, but isn't the same as inventing/engineering) but he was really popular here.

What kind of odd take is this. I agree Barbara Lee won't accomplish much in an interim mayor seat but she's mostly beyond reproach and definitely speaks for me!

I think I'll trust owasp and my own over 20 years of experience building commercial software but you do you

This generally goes against security best practices as it can be used for attempted user enumeration. A better version would be "we'll send you an email with your account status if this user exists" but obviously that results in a fair amount more complexity (and cost) to implement

I saw a great talk by John Romero a few years ago that really underscores how in the early days of computing a few mad geniuses really moved mountains.

Berkeley has been working on exactly this. Traffic enforcement wouldnt done by the police department but by a civilian department of transportation. We are a bit hamstrung by state law and it's been slow going but look up BerkDoT to see how another world might be possible.

I think a Blomkamp directed The Moon is a Harsh Mistress would be far more interesting
