Its all swiss cheese, anyone telling you otherwise is lying or wrong

Great article.

Needed more in-depth details but the line "sure go ahead and mix a few special characters into your password if it makes you feel better" is pure gold and deserves a Pulitzer for this alone.

Amazon HQ2 ..... 2 years later

Just heard on @NY1 that 2 years later ....the Amazon HQ2 development site is still an empty abandoned lot. 

Good thing @AOC blocked it ....would be a real shame if we had high level white collar tax paying jobs in Queens.

History that pervades for decades

 Really interesting article in the WSJ today

I love the idea of "forgotten knowledge' eg an entire industry does something in a certain way or format.....and no one knows the history of why or that they stand on the shoulders of giants.
