Carney's cuts are worse than under Harper

@ohryansbelt @im_roy_lee It is on brand. Cheat on everything.

@pcrowe bro were you aware? @im_roy_lee

Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup that raised $32 million, has been accused of systematically faking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance reports for hundreds of clients. According to a detailed Substack investigation by DeepDelver, a leaked Google spreadsheet containing links to hundreds of confidential draft audit reports revealed that Delve generates auditor conclusions before any auditor reviews evidence, uses the same template across 99.8% of reports, and relies on Indian certification mills operating through empty US shells instead of the "US-based CPA firms" they advertise. Here's the breakdown: > 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in > Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions > All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical "unable to test" conclusions across every client > Delve's "US-based auditors" are actually Accorp and Gradient, described as Indian certification mills operating through US shell entities. 99%+ of clients reportedly went through one of these two firms over the past 6 months > The platform allegedly publishes fully populated trust pages claiming vulnerability scanning, pentesting, and data recovery simulations before any compliance work has been done > Delve pre-fabricates board meeting minutes, risk assessments, security incident simulations, and employee evidence that clients can adopt with a single click, according to the author > Most "integrations" are just containers for manual screenshots with no actual API connections. The author describes the platform as a "SOC 2 template pack with a thin SaaS wrapper" > When the leak was exposed, CEO Karun Kaushik emailed clients calling the allegations "falsified claims" from an "AI-generated email" and stated no sensitive data was accessed, while the reports themselves contained private signatures and confidential architecture diagrams > Companies relying on these reports could face criminal liability under HIPAA and fines up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR for compliance violations they believed were resolved > When clients threaten to leave, Delve reportedly pairs them with an external vCISO for manual off-platform work, which the author argues proves their own platform can't deliver real compliance > Delve's sales price dropped from $15,000 to $6,000 with ISO 27001 and a penetration test thrown in when a client mentioned considering a competitor

@FounderEric The quality of that list is a joke. A lot of duplication and orgs listed that are not accelerators. The number of accelerators in Toronto is definitely higher than it should be but no one should take the list seriously.

The world's number of startup accelerators 1. 🇨🇦 Toronto - 77 2. 🇺🇸 New York - 63 3. 🇺🇸 SF - 62 4. 🇬🇧 London - 44 5. 🇨🇦 Montreal - 44 6. 🇩🇪 Berlin - 37 3. 🇺🇸 Boston - 23 7. 🇨🇦 Waterloo - 21 8. 🇨🇦 Vancouver - 28 9. 🇺🇸 Miami - 19 10. 🇺🇸 Austin - 17 fundingcake.com/startup-direct…

@SohelBloom @kenseto Getting married and having kids turns work into a side quest with incredible purpose.

You’re bored because you’re not doing side quests, man. Life is more than just working and then throwing yourself into bed doing nothing. Here are 50 side quests to complete:

My friend Donna is remodeling her house and wondering what she should do with this space. Any one have any ideas?

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ayatollah Khamenei Bobblehead Day on Sunday, April 12 has been cancelled

@sciencegirl It’s not a race

Well, that’s one way to win a race.

Not a fan of the iOS Stocks app design changes. Noticing a lot more use of red in L30 days. Preferred green.

@RobertFreundLaw Yes, but they’re all AI’s. Trained via conversations with you and your family/friends, a psychological assessment of you, and your health data. If two AI’s decide to marry, then the real life people have to follow through.

Show idea: Love Is Blind except the reveal is whether you've been talking to an AI companion the whole time.

The world is getting soft.

@ParikPatelCFA Now referring to my competitors as our Heated Rivalry.

If you are a founder and you are straight, pivot to being gay

@internetvin You have to imagine that their impact on mobile video optimization and adaptive bitrate streaming is huge.

The most successful Canadian startup is easily PornHub.

It was filled with love and friendships that my family will cherish for the rest of our lives. We gave you everything we had. Yall gave us so much more. Thank yall for literally everything.
