Recent Notes

Spent 2 solid days doing annual security review of 50 vendors for SOC2 compliance. Thank goodness for LLMs, otherwise it would have taken 2 weeks to sift through thousands of pages of audit reports.

That’s a lot of trusted third parties.

I wonder what the results would be if Trump wasn’t President.

The cuts are all from unconstitutional entities. The increases are unfortunate.

Most folks don't love security theater & everyone has had a bad time at a screening checkpoint. So, let's think for a second about hypothetical private-#TSA companies. I'd expect them to gravitate t...

Horrible take. The state has no incentive to make the process better for the consumer. You’ve created a number of straw men arguments to suggest that the state can do it better.

Also, “water saving” faucets and showers that dribble out water slowly, so you have to sit there rinsing for 5x as long, which balances out the total water used, and leaves you poorly rinsed.

What would justify the interest?

Right. So interest would be paid on loans because the lender is at risk of default. But unlike with fiat, there is no one to bail you out if this does happen. No FDIC insurance if the bank blows up. No click of a button to reimburse you in case things go belly up. You'd have to ask yourself whethe...
