Vanguard, BlackRock, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Nestlé, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Twitter/X, any company owned by Elon Musk, pretty much every Big Tech company, Disney, almost any media company, as well as every major bank.
Why Vanguard? They primarily offer passive index fund investments at very low costs and are owned by people that have invested in any of their mutual funds. Before Vanguard, the average investor would get screwed by financial advisors who would skim a large portion of investments.
Yeah, my guess is OP is mad they they are the major shareholders of a bunch of awful companies. But when you’re the largest index fund and retirement investment provider in the world you end up owning most of everything.
The honest truth is that there are no buy it for life boots. A foot of snow, road salt, etc will wear down all boots. Water always wins eventually. Always.
However! There are lots of great recs here, and you can’t go wrong with many of the suggestions (keen has done me the best over the years), but no matter what you go with, you will get years of extra life out of them by investing in TAKING CARE of them.
Oil and condition the leather at least annually. Get some boot trees or a boot dryer and use it. Check outsoles and keep them clean and grime free. Speaking of grime, wipe your boots down when you come in, don’t just bang them off, leave them by the door and think they’re good. Towel them off, and make sure they’re somewhere they’ll stay warm enough to dry. Good boots are tough, and they’ll stay that way a long time if you treat them well.
Yeah, buy it for life was too ambitious, but I used to get ten years out of my $250 boots, now that’s a base price for shit that won’t last a year. Care is generally not a concern for us, we take good care of our expensive shit because we need it to last as long as possible.
I’m a big Solomon brand fan. Idk if you can buy it for life winter boot and use it too but the Solomons I have had wear well and last as long as I have expected them to
They show as & on the mobile web interface for various instances. I would say it’s something improperly done with what are called HTML entities. HTML entities are a way of encoding various elements that have meaning in HTML so they can be displayed, without being interpreted as HTML by the browser, which could not only break a layout but have security implications. So the titles are sanitized to prevent injection attacks but somehow are not stored/output in a way that they display properly.
As a security guy - as soon as I can get federal auditors to agree, I’m getting rid of password expiration.
The main problem is they don’t audit with logic. It’s a script and a feeling. No password expiration FEELS less secure. Nevermind the literal years of data and research. Drives me nuts.
Verifiers SHOULD NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types or prohibiting consecutively repeated characters) for memorized secrets. Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically). However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.
I’ve successfully used it to tell auditors to fuck off about password rotation in the healthcare space.
Now, to be in compliance with NIST guidelines, you do also need to require MFA. This document is what federal guidelines are based on, which is why you’re starting to see Federal gov websites require MFA for access.
Either way, I’d highly encourage everyone to give the full document a read through. Not enough people are aware of it and this revision was shockingly reasonable when it came out a year or two ago.
