Hi everyone!

Last year I posted about my environmental project, but then it didn’t get much attention here. Now, as we’ve made some progress and improved our website a bit using users’ feedback, there is an occasion to give it another chance!

This time I’d like to focus on the feature that allows you to check how many trees are really needed to be planted to offset one’s carbon footprint, based on emissions per capita. It includes trees’ survivability rate, as not every seedling will get a chance to mature. It is often an overlooked factor.

You can also start gradually planting a whole forest and track your impact by choosing your planting plan. As for planting, we restore broadleaf forests with environmental purposes and not industrial plantations.

Since last year, several municipalities have expressed interest in partnering with us, pledging enough land for over 10 million trees for our project, and there is a potential for much more! We’ve also got some subscribers from across the US and the EU. Now we are looking to bring in more people to plant with us, to make it happen in a reasonable timeframe, so I’d immensely appreciate if you decide to join and spread the word!

We’ll be also further developing our app and website.

I run an app agency, and over time we ran into a lot of pain managing client retainers.

We have 15+ clients on different setups (some hourly, some fixed monthly) and were juggling Slack, ClickUp, Toggl, Stripe, and email. It became a mess to track hours, assign tasks, and keep clients updated without spending way too much time on manual updates.

We ended up building an internal tool to handle retainer tracking, team assignments, and automated client updates. It saved us a lot of time and improved communication and built trust.

Now I’m wondering if this is just our problem or something others struggle with too.

Would love to hear: • How do you manage retainers or ongoing client work? • What’s been your biggest headache? • Have you found tools that work well, or are you hacking it together with multiple tools?

For context, I set up a public version at retainkit.io

Would love to hear your mind even if you are a freelancer!

Not trying to pitch, just curious if it’s useful beyond our agency.

Thanks!

I'm a young researcher with a background in abstract physics and mathematics, specializing in areas like probability theory, spectral analysis, network theory, and statistical/quantum mechanics.

I'm considering transitioning to industry, but my coding experience is limited to basic Python. I’m concerned that, with a strong theoretical background but limited engineering skills, I might struggle to find a good fit. Additionally, with the tightening job market, the abundance of remote talent, and the rise of tools like Copilot, I’m wondering how these factors might impact my prospects.

For those who’ve made a similar transition—or who have hired people with this kind of background—how did it go? What roles or paths have worked best for you?

Apple forged the iPhone 16 series to be the ultimate platform for Apple Intelligence. But over half a year later, the best iPhone 16 Pro features have little to do with AI.

As carriers begin to unveil their own satellite plans, here's everything you need to know whether your phone supports satellite connectivity or is "satellite optimized."

CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.

• CVE-2024-6047 GeoVision Devices OS Command Injection Vulnerability
• CVE-2024-11120 GeoVision Devices OS Command Injection Vulnerability

These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.

Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information.

Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.

Weighted vests may look like they’re a blast from the past, but their practicality is timeless.
