![]() prime minister James Callaghan’s Labor government looms over the characters. In the second half, the 1979 vote of no confidence in U.K. This all serves to emphasize The Network and Carvel’s points that the planet’s capacity has been exceeded and resources are depleting at a rapid rate. Then the story jumps back to 1973 while the United Kingdom is in the midst of the oil crisis which led to mandatory power outages to conserve energy. We see that the Network is behind the assassination of journalist Carmine Pecorelli (which in real life was blamed on the mafia). The episode starts in 1979 with the recovery of kidnapped former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro in a newscast. In the background of the episode lurks the coming of the Thatcher administration. The Network becomes involved in their personal lives and this “frees” them up. Carvel, on the other hand, doesn’t seem as in love with wife and shows little to no respect towards her feelings on what is happening to Petrie. Millner’s husband is an alcoholic who is oblivious to his wife’s occupation, and she is shown to have genuine love for him despite his illness. This eventually extends to Carvel’s children and sets up why there is such tension between Millner and Jessica. There is a focus on Millner and Carvel’s spouses, in particular, romantic relationships holding them back from realizing the grand vision. There’s a comment she makes about having seen a genocide firsthand, and so we can infer that Millner believes the Network is an anti-fascist organization, that its genocide will be egalitarian. Later, when he shows off a basic design for the Janus virus, she emphasizes that it must kill at random, that no one race or group of people be intentionally kept safe. Miller, already with the Network, sees a kindred spirit in Carvel. When Millner and Carvel meet at a Bilderberger style gathering of leaders and minds, the scientist is debating the usefulness of malaria as a means to regulate the human population. ![]() Carvel then decapitates the rabbit in front of Petrie with a butcher knife which leads to Petrie mimicking this when his mother brings a pet bunny into the home. At one point, he presents Petrie with a rabbit, after feeding the youth drug-laced chocolate covered raisins. He claims to be trying to reverse it later when discovered, but nothing we’ve seen leads us to believe that claim is valid. What she doesn’t know is that Carvel is experimenting with the biochemical nature of violence and has accidentally turned his son into this thing. His wife is worried about their son, Petrie who is showing sociopathic signs even as a toddler. Rabbit branding.Ĭarvel is already crossing dark ethical lines even before he meets Millner. Millner (played by Rose Leslie) has her motivations explained, and we even get The Assistant complete with the first reveal of his Mr. We get to see young Arby/Petrie and Jessica. This is because the entire episode is set in the 1970s and follows Philip Carvel and his involvement with the Network. The first thing you notice is the drastically different 4:3 aspect ratio to resemble old tube televisions. So, as we look back at Series 2, we do so with the notion that a different yet hopefully will be tonally similar show will be coming in the new future.ĭennis Kelly decided to open Utopia Series 2 with a jolt. She became friends with Dennis Kelly and said she’ll seek his input on the new version of Utopia, release date to be determined but like sometime in 2019. Flynn has been very public in expressing her love of the original, particularly for its strangeness. However, in April 2017 it was announced that Amazon was going to work to develop Utopia with Gillian Flynn as showrunner. For some years David Fincher and Gillian Flynn have been working to bring Utopia to the United States but a deal with HBO fell through, and it appeared the prospects of a return were dead. In the time since my review of Series 1, big Utopia news has dropped. ![]() ![]() When we last left the world of Utopia, we were merely looking backward at a short-lived British television that deserves a second glance by viewers. ![]() ![]() So whilst i use checklists in terms of having written extensive tools over the years i do not work through a checklist as such as each system has different requirements and security issues, each "check" can have a different risk level based on what else is going on. My methodology allows repeatability whilst being actually different checks for each database well because each database is different. Of course I also look at all the other perifery issues such as OS access. I am not going to go into great detail suffice to say that the methodology is based around understanding the data, understanding the data flow (into and out of the database), the business use of the data and then to correllate that with what is actually going on with the data and how its managed and accessed and what the privilege models are for all classes of users. I have a methodology that allows due dilligence and repeatability but is not based on working through a set of checks. What we need is a methodology, in fact I have one, this is what I have done for years as part of my security audit service for an Oracle database. we don't want to simply try things from a list (tip?) and see if it works, then move onto the next good thing to try. If you want to perform an audit for yourself then you need a place to start and the lists like the CIS / SANS SCORE / SANS step-by-step are good starting points BUT (the bad bit) what we don't want to do is create the same issue as compulsive tuning disorder for security, i.e. I have tens of thousands of lines of code implementing checks. My lists are internal and will stay that way, i update them probably on average on a daily basis. This is important, I obviously use my own checklists that are much much more detailed than any of the above lists, I check for some ten times more settings / parameters / privileges / configurations and more than these lists. They are good because when we audit an Oracle database we need to have something to work to, some standards, some list of things to check. I want to make two comments about checklists they are good and bad at the same time. So its great that a resource like this exists as I said there is not many check lists for Oracle databases. There is the DoD STIG, some NSA document, the great, little IT Governance Institute book there is Oracle's own checklist that gets updated from time to time but is not as detailed as the SANS SCORE or the CIS benchmark. ![]() There is the SANS Step-by-step, the SANS SCORE (written by me and updated by Paul) that is essentially the checklist from the SANS step-by-step and obviously very similar to the CIS benchmark as they have the same starting points. I think that its great that there is an update to this important check list as there are not many available checklists anyway for the Oracle database. The 11g benchmark includes a few 11g specifics such as case sensitive passwords and other 11g settings, as I said the style is better than the earlier versions, I like it. For instance compare the SANS SCORE document with the CIS benchmark. The original benchmark (8i) was based on the book I wrote for SANS, the Oracle Security step by step guide, that is no longer available. The lineage / history is still strongy there though. The 11g guides style seems better than the previous ones. The 9i/10g benchmark really added a lot of advanced security option checks that in my experience most sites are not using anyway (the Oracle ASO add on that is). The 11g guide does not seem a massive change in terms of checks over the 9i/10g. The checks were never complete anyway as quite a lot were in the form of questions but a lot of the checks still work for the later versions of the database. ![]() You can of course get the scoring tool (available for Windows, Linux and Solaris platforms) and still run it on 11g or 9i/10g. There is still only an 8i scoring tool as one was not produced for the 9i/10g benchmark and there is not one available for the 11g guide either.Īs you will see a simple registration is required and all three versions of the banchmark are available. (broken link) The Oracle benchmark for 11g is an update of the previous 8i (version 1) and the subseqent 9i/10g (version 2) Oracle benchmarks. A new Oracle CIS benchmark has been released recently for Oracle 11g. ![]() ![]()

![]() I gave myself lots of breathing room so that no one thought that my high-quality work was effortless. I began actually taking my lunch break and doing it away from my desk. I began easing off slowly and started to give people the impression that I was not somebody who had extra free time to pick up more stuff anymore because I was working so hard on my actual work. I then developed a strong tendency to work just for the hours that I was paid. When I decided to quit my job, I didn't tell anyone. I realized that the best way for me to do that was to use my background, knowledge, and education to help other people understand and teach them how they can improve their personal finance. I wanted to rediscover the mindset that I had when I was a child. I wanted to do and contribute more to my life than what I was doing at the time. If you don't have a purpose in life, then you will be a part of someone else's purpose. It was then that I realized what was missing from my career-a purpose. In other words, my worst-case scenario was that I would end up in the same scenario that I was already in.Īt that moment, I thought to myself, is this it? Is this what life is all about? To create a really nice Excel model, to make a really nice PowerPoint slide? There had to be. I didn't want to lose my job and for my side hustle to fail.īut when asked about the worst-case scenario, I thought: I'd have to look for another job. I told my friend that I was really worried about putting more effort into my side hustle and focusing less on my real job. Thinking back, there was one particular conversation I had a few years ago that completely changed my life and it was the final straw that convinced me to become a quiet quitter way before it became trendy. And because they owned my time, they owned my emotions, they owned my reactions, and they owned my relationships. It felt like I was just a spinning cog inside a machine, inside a bigger machine.Īnd I realized that if I never stopped working to help someone else build their dreams, then every hour of my time, even after work, belongs to them. The other path was darker, the ground was rough, it was dangerous, they had rocks, and it was lonelier. The dirt was smooth, paved, and safe with lots of people walking on it. Then one day, after watching too many motivational YouTube videos, I realized that I had two paths before me. Surveys found that workers who are neither engaged nor actively disengaged at work, aka quiet quitters, make up at least half of the U.S. Prices are now nearly 40 percent higher overall than in 2009, thanks to our beautiful friend inflation. The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009, while the cost of living has. I took Ozempic for ten months to lose weight.One was when I got up from my desk, went to the bathroom, and used my phone, and the other was when I got up from my desk and I walked out those doors. There were two moments every day that I looked forward to. ![]() I thought that this was it, that for the next 16,060 days, I'd be doing this until I retired. And I did the same routine the next day at work. I was indoctrinated to believe that my worth as a person was defined by how hard I could work and how much I could accomplish for someone else. So what exactly was I hoping for in the end? That I would be blessed with a 1 percent raise at the end of the year so I can afford to see a doctor and ask if working that hard is medically okay? That my blood is now 90 percent composed of black coffee? I wasn't getting paid more to do any of this. Volunteering to help out with a never-ending list of additional projects, like I wasn't already working 70-hour weeks. I was thirstier than the fish and drank the corporate Kool-Aid hard.įor example, not only did I do my signed job at work, I would then go into the bathroom, put on my clown makeup, and actively seek out more work from my bosses. ![]() I feel that finance is one of the top careers immigrant parents dream of for their kids, right after being a doctor and then a lawyer, and then an engineer.īut soon, I realized that I'd been bamboozled. I was earning $120,000 a year, and I personally felt like it was a huge milestone for myself and indirectly, in a way, for my parents because it meant that their sacrifices were worth it. I was so ignorantly excited to get a taste of the corporate world, especially as a first-generation college student. I still remember the first day at my corporate job. Vincent Chan (pictured) decided to quiet quit his job in 2020. ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, if you go back to the ‘70s and ‘80s you’ll find that traps weren’t just tolerated, they were gleefully celebrated. They date back to the earliest days of the hobby and they remain a prominent part of the game’s culture and its adventures. But you can feel Gygax’s palpable frustration with the style of play his own killer dungeons had created boiling off the page.ĭespite this, traps are a staple of Dungeons & Dragons. If the problem should continue, then rooms full of silent monsters will turn the tide, but that is the stuff of later adventures. ![]() Mocking their over-cautious behavior as near cowardice, rolling huge handfuls of dice and then telling them the results are negative, and statements to the effect that: “You detect nothing, and nothing has detected YOU so far-” might suffice. If this persists, despite the obvious displeasure you express, the requirement that helmets be doffed and mail coifs removed to listen at a door, and then be carefully replaced, the warnings about ear seekers, and frequent checks for wandering monsters (q.v.), then you will have to take more direct part in things. Here’s Gary Gygax giving some of the worst GMing advice you’ll hopefully ever read ( Dungeon Master’s Guide, 1979):Īssume your players are continually wasting time (thus making the so-called adventure drag out into a boring session of dice rolling and delay) if they are checking endlessly for traps and listening at every door. Not only are they boring when they’re triggered - with the DM arbitrarily telling you to make a saving throw at the penalty of suffering some minor amount of damage - they engender boring play by encouraging players to turtle up and methodically, laboriously, and excruciatingly examine every square inch of the dungeon in torrid bouts of pace-murdering paranoia.Īnd if you feel this way, you’re in illustrious company. People have a problem with traps: They’re boring. ![]() ![]() The show ended after five seasons with the one-hour episode, " Change Your Mind", on January 21, 2019.
