- Because I've ran into the same issue. I don't think this is actually the tariff. I'm almost 100% positive this is the shipping companies (UPS, and FedEx, but UPS seems to be the biggest culprit) are slamming receivers with massive bills because they are miscategorizing many items coming from Europe.
- I also imported a roughly $400 item from Romania. Was expecting a 30% tariff at most. Nope. $756. Sender says there is nothing they can do. UPS says that's the money I owe. They will send to collections if you go long enough without paying it. Reddit had no answers, and many are struggling with the same situation.
- Yeah my definition of AGI has always been close to this. The key factors:
- It's autonomous
- It learns (not retraining, but true learning)
- By definition some semblance of consciousness must arise
This is why I think we're very far from anything close to this. Easily multiple decades if not far longer.
- This is what you're looking for https://conductor.build/
- Oh I'm sure that's the reason, but it still makes zero sense. Ive is incredibly overrated as a designer and visionary.
- Funny how the reality is exactly the opposite of what you're saying. Design was already on life support and AI was the final plug pull.
- I consider myself extremely plugged in to what's going on with AI and I still couldn't tell you what Ive's company does without looking it up
- CNAPPs and CSPMs are extremely common tools in cybersecurity. This is my concern. If you're in cyber and don't have knowledge of these things you're either in something insanely niche, in research of some sort, or lack critical knowledge that you should have. There's a big responsibility as a security practitioner to stay up to date on new tools and techniques. CNAPP and CSPM is not some new thing that was invented last year. It's been around for a decade.
- Companies have problems securing their workloads. Not just storing secrets. Off the top of my head, I've personally been able to centralize the following with a single tool (instead of gluing together a dozen different providers)
- scan cloud configurations for policy violations - detect and remediate infrastructure misconfigurations - real-time visibility into cloud resource inventories - early detection of issues - container vuln. scanning - runtime anomalous behavior - alerts and correlate security events - compliance mappings - id risky permissions in IAM policies - track changes and configuration drift over time - implement zero-trust policies across microservices - eforce network seg in containerized environments - run security checks during build and deploy stages - vulnerability assessments on running VMs and containers - policy-as-code for consistent security standards
- Wiz is widely considered one of the strongest CNAPP/CSPM products on the market. I haven’t personally tested every single competitor’s solution, but I’ve found Wiz to outperform pan, crowdstrike, and prisma.
To answer your question. Google doesn't acquire Wis because Google can’t build a comparable product themselves. The real driver is that Wiz has already achieved market penetration and trust. Replicating that from scratch would be a massive undertaking, requiring not just a sophisticated product but also the brand credibility, customer relationships, and reputation for reliability. establishing that level of traction and trust is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. I highly doubt Google would try to build a direct competitor from the ground up when acquiring Wiz allows them to leverage its existing success right away.
- If you're in security and you haven't at least heard of Wiz, I have doubts about what you actually do. I'm not saying you have to be a CSPM expert, but not even hearing about Wiz, when they are the largest CSPM, is somewhat concerning.
- This is wild to me. As someone in security, Wiz is definitely one of the whales.
- Would much rather have the hell world American VC has created than the alternative hell world of the euro uber-government.
- They could try innovating and actually supporting an economy of entrepreneurship so individuals are incentivized to build better tools in their home country instead of coming here. Too bad VC _almost_ exclusively exists in the US. What Europe calls VC is a joke.
- It's insane yes. What an incredible waste of tax dollars.
- 6% and 4% for Covid and Influenza respectively. So 33% seems insanely high to me.
- Yeah the Mighty situation is when I started to question PG's decision making. Obviously he's super successful and has helped companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars succeed and grow. But even Steph Curry has off nights.
Mighty always sounded like a bad idea. But when I saw PG really making a big deal about it I followed Suhail on twitter because I just had to see what PG was going on about. From what was posted online it sounded like the company was super successful and growing, and I still didn't get it. And then it went under, without any fanfare. Just poof.
The symptom of wanting to give up is because you aren't growing fast enough
The symptom of founder turmoil is because whatever strategy you're currently using isn't growing the company fast enough
The symptom of running out of money is because you're not hitting your sales targets
