Entirely anecdotal: most Americans don't really get it. When people sign up for health insurance through HealthCare.gov, they're just picking a plan and paying their monthly bill. The website doesn't really make it front and center that it's ACA.
People may think they're paying full price because they make some monthly premium payment... which isn't true, as either the government subsidizes a portion of the premium, or you're getting group rates that are way cheaper than if you tried to buy insurance on your own. So even "full price" is receiving a form of subsidization through the operation of the program.
The disconnect is that the media and politicians talk about Obamacare like it's this free healthcare giveaway, so people who pay anything assume they're not on it. They could literally be using the ACA marketplace with 0 understanding that it's "Obamacare". Most people just perceive ACA as government overreach into healthcare, not realizing they're benefiting.
The title and body text have a 15.52:1 contrast ratio with the background, which is acceptable by all accessibility standards.
The subtitle and background have a 5.32:1 contrast ratio with the background. This would be considered acceptable by most accessibility standards, though I would like it around 9:1.
I've been maintaining SOC2 certification for multiple years, and I'm here to say that it's largely performative and an ineffective indicator of security posture.
The SOC2 framework is complex and compliance can be expensive. This can lead organizations to focus on ticking the boxes rather than implementing meaningful security controls.
SOC2 is not a good universal metric for understanding an organization's security culture. It's frightening that this is the best we have for now.
a bit off topic, but a big struggle that is growing related to data and databases; managing data residency. I've not found an easy way to handle this and countries seem to be passing more and more laws... it's tough for global applications!
Can you elaborate with an example? I'm unfamiliar with reddit and it's content management. I'm unsure if the premise of "AI" moderation is true, how it could moderate beyond a pattern or behavior since it can't reasonably be scanning every post and comment for political affiliation?
And HipChat is horrible. Doesn’t even sync which multiple devices and their mobile app doesn’t support the iPhone X screen size which is a trivial update to make considering HipChat is used by some pretty massive customers. Code highlighting is still, (after years,) pretty bad.
To provide an anecdote for the effect this has on your life. I worked 70+ hours minimum (106 was my "record") for 5 years and averaged 4 hours and 45 minutes of sleep per night. It was spread out over 6 days a week which made it a little easier.. but it wasn't worth it.
I couldn't keep any intimate relationship, pretty much just dated very casually over that time.
Rarely saw my family.
Saw my friends so infrequently, that I may as well have lived 2,000 miles away. It was a big event any time I saw them which was usually once every 2-3 months.
My blood pressure reached full blown hypertension levels and I needed medication.
It's not a healthy way to live and I've undoubtedly erased years from the end of my life as a result. I don't care how motivated or passionate you are about what you do, this work load isn't sustainable and will forever be a "Dark Ages" era of my own life.
