Mere exposure to ideas that are outside of our zone of acceptance can reinforce our existing beliefs. Chris Bail et al ran experiment on twitter, they had hoped to discover that getting people to listen to ideas different from their own would moderate opinions. Result: the opposite. Exposure to ideas from the other caused them to take on more extreme beliefs. https://buff.ly/4aHbbpo

@mlevison can't find it right now, but there was a study that showed that exposing people to realities of others they could empathise with actually made them less polarised.
So: ideas Vs empathy

I need your help, compiling a top ten list. What are your Top Evil Reasons a Manager in Organization needs influence:

  1. …

  2. To sabotage other teams

  3. To undermine stakeholders they don’t like.

Evil reasons only

@mlevison 😈 When your organisation has lean, interactive product development process in play that tries to de-risk decision making as much as possible, but you need influence to make big bets without verifying hypotheses, like a boss

Anyone else find YouTube's required choice confusing? "This video is 1) made for kids, or 2) not made for kids." My videos are not aimed at kids, they will find them boring, but I don't mind if they watch them. Is that made for kids or not made for kids? Why couldn't they say "fine for kids" vs "inappropriate for kids"?

RakowskiBartosz,
@RakowskiBartosz@hachyderm.io avatar

@nedbat there are several options disabled in videos for kids. either sharing, or adding to a playlist, or both. I remember I couldn't "save them for later"

Two Pizza Teams and Bezos. I'm trying to track where and what he said. Many sources cite the Investor newsletters: https://quartr.com/insights/business-philosophy/collection-jeff-bezos-shareholder-letters

I read them, no pizza and no mention of team size.

Does anyone have an actual source for this?

German law is making security research a risky business.

Current news: A court found a developer guilty of “hacking.” His crime: he was tasked with looking into a software that produced way too many log messages. And he discovered that this software was making a MySQL connection to the vendor’s database server.

When he checked that MySQL connection, he realized that the database contained data belonging to not merely his client but all of the vendor’s customers. So he immediately informed the vendor – and while they fixed this vulnerability they also pressed charges.

There was apparently considerable discussion as to whether hardcoding database credentials in the application (visible as plain text, not even decompiling required) is sufficient protection to justify hacking charges. But the court ruling says: yes, there was a password, so there is a protection mechanism which was circumvented, and that’s hacking.

I very much hope that there will be a next instance ruling overturning this decision again. But it’s exactly as people feared: no matter how flawed the supposed “protection,” its mere existence turns security research into criminal hacking under the German law. This has a chilling effect on legitimate research, allowing companies to get away with inadequate security and in the end endangering users.

@thisismissem @WPalant this seems to omit the other side of the story. If I understand this correctly, vendor software was making undocumented calls to outside infrastructure and sharing potentially sensitive data. It should be in company's right to check the level of exposure to properly protect their and their customers' rights.

    I dunno how long this has been the case but over on Twitter your "Followers" page has a new tab called 'Verified Followers'

    On the non-verified "Followers" tab each follower has a "..." button that gives you a menu of options to mute that follower, block them, report them, or make them stop following you.

    The followers on the "Verified Followers" tab however, do not have the "..." button. Only a "follow" button to followback.

    The way verification is intentionally a plague is fascinating.

    @matthewskelton Automating the pipeline and changing practices requires the teams to slow down which is visible and raises questions about business priorities. Spending time on dependency management, change approval boards, additional testing and integration, live production issues, and defect fixing is much less visible, and to untrained eye may even look like a common sense

    I have decided to wallpaper my steampunk / Victorian office to make my video background more exciting, but I have unfortunately also now realized that I’m a millennial and have absolutely no idea how wallpaper is installed, and neither do any of my friends or YouTube feeds. What even is a wallpaper that’s not on a computer, anyway?

    we're pleased to report that there's an article now which rehashes a lot of relevant stuff in some detail. regardless of what you feel about the proximate decisions around the fediverse and Facebook, knowing the history can only help
