I had the same thoughts reading this. I think there’s an optimal blend of blurters and thinkers, one isn’t better than the other. I find that I do both, it just kind of depends on my comfort with the subject matter.

What use is extrapolating what I said to its extreme end? In 1999 I quit my full time secure job to start a company. My wife was a stay at home mom, we had a new baby and a new mortgage for a house that was still being built. Yes it&#x2

This is one of those areas where family starts to influence decisions. My wife and I had kids between 24 and 28. From that point forward, 'supporting the family' took priority over personal fulfillment. Now that our kids are gro

Honestly I bet you would have at least a reasonable intuition about it if you were among them. It's pretty remarkable how much our distractions and 'being indoors' all the time dulls our senses to nature. I started doing ast

I did a bunch of work with Verisign as a contractor back in the early 2000s and got to see some of the systems and infrastructure issuing a good portion of the world's certificates at that time. 15 years later I was at Google when the

I was in Dusseldorf headed to Budapest and I spent two hours with ticket agents, call center folks and Amex travel and couldn’t get any motion. They said the complicating factor was that the flight out of DUS was still available. ¯\_(ツ)_&

I used to be knee deep in PKI stuff, now I hardly pay attention. Two quick questions: 1 - Are there any TLS libraries that enable warnings when certs are nearing expiration? 2 - Are there any extensions in the works (or previous failed atte

I’m thinking more the Tesla could identify bad drivers around it and fire off a notification.
