I've said it before: Schneier is an empty suit. He knows what buttons to hit in geek culture to get viral traffic, but a lot of what he preaches is questionable and seemingly personal and subjective. If anyone else would have said this they would have been instantly buried.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoHe's far from an empty suit given the diverse work he's done that's arguably good. He does occasionally make spot judgments that seem weak and go in what I believe is the wrong direction at times. Unlike many, I post counterpoints to him each time on his own blog and he makes no attempts to censor/grayout those via moderation. He rarely gets into those debates: we sort them out instead. Yet, he lets it all stand for his crowd to read. Not the typical action of either someone trying to hide their incompetence or an ego-maniac. This attitude of his is why a number of us contributed there for years. Plenty of what we posted also pre-empted the Snowden leaks (incl many TAO attacks). Plenty to learn archived over there.
