The doge.gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media

Wow, really wild how the guy that doesn’t know what SQL is, is somehow also bad at database permissioning.

The lower bound on what age a person has to be before being sexually attracted to them doesn’t feel creepy goes up as you age, well past 18-20 by the time you’re in your 30s. However, this lower bound does eventually slow or stop, and finding a 40 year old attractive by the time you’re 60 doesn’t feel nearly as weird.

So I’d imagine it’s because basically anyone of any age can find a 40+ year old woman attractive without feeling like a creep, whereas most people start aging out of finding 18-20 year olds attractive by the time they’re in their 30s.

• You’re unlikely to get fired during this consolidation. Firing is only done for cause, for either behavioral, performance, or legal problems. In many companies, you’d also be first put into a Performance Improvement Plan, where the problems that might lead to you being fired are formally raised to you and you’re given the conditions you need to meet to not be fired.

• What you’re likely facing is a layoff, where a company terminates your job because your role is no longer needed. This is important, because in a layoff, you get severance pay, unemployment insurance, and potentially other benefits, while being fired may impact your ability to get these benefits.

• Generally, it’s better to not quit if you don’t have to. If you stay and you get fired/laid off, you lose income you were about to lose anyway. If you quit but could have stayed and kept your role, you lose income you didn’t have to lose.
