However if a rockstar were to protest peacefully and shout “Black Lives Matters” then throw a rock through a police car window.. …I’d assume that would be judged differently than an attempted murder and trashing a hotel room. The question i

The funny thing is… You’re stating the problem with that whole sector. I really wish product owners, researchers and tool creators had more actual real world experience on the remediation side. I think that’s the reason we have so many crap

So what’s… been the impact of OpenAI and meta glasses / headsets on the blind community at large? Based on your statements it seems that the real value of AI is increasing the participation rate of visually impaired people in the globa

I’m not sure it matters. Many will say Bill is attempting to reshape his legacy and narrative post-Epstein. The most important thing is that money is being returned to society on an accelerated timeline. Without this redistribution of wealt

Yeah. The ignorance comes from lack of experience and it happens often on both sides. Engineers think they deserve a big equity package for writing CRUD apps. “Businesspeople” with no startup experience, never raised money and never worked

I agree. The story of Anwar Al-Awlaki and his American US-born son who was killed in the attack authorized by the Obama administration must not be forgotten. The issue of presidential powers and conduct must be a non-partisan issue. Trump m

In the past, you had to practically be on a Wheaties box or major magazine cover to be considered a celebrity. Now everyone is a “celebrity”and hubris is at an all time high. I’ve been in tech for 25+ years and never heard of this person un

Agreed. Upper and middle class white women have benefitted richly from these policies for far too long. There’s too many of them in college and corporate America. Fairness is the goal but… …there’s been no real uptick in positive outcomes f

Maybe I’m missing something… I get it that Oracle is in the wrong but I’m still not sure why get in this trademark fight anyhow. I would personally leave it to someone with much larger pockets like Microsoft to deal with.

Again another example of billion dollar firms taking advantage of small businesses and consumers.

Exactly. Unfortunately, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of destruction that Jeff and other billionaires have wreaked on US small businesses and the poor. EXAMPLES: Billionaires are driving up single family home prices acros

Cmon man. There’s a thing called facts. Billionaires exploit the poor. Why do they fight unionization and workers rights? https://www.jwj.org/emboldened-billionaires-take-aim-at-new-... The prison phone market is owned by b

As stated in the book “Lessons of History,” this is what billionaires should be doing with the wealth that they’ve snatched from the poor, marginalized and unlucky. When we started on this tech journey, the hope was for a better more equal

Could this be also used to model wealth inequality? Or more directly predict the win/loss probability of university admissions rates by ethnicity and class? Example: US university admission competitions in which poor Americans are pitt

The people could vote the same person or party in representing the interests of the king and his family. Dictators can be democratically elected. The real question is how do you protect people from themselves?

Indeed. I thought to say the same but you’ve phrased the problem with most in academia very nicely.

Give or take a few hundred years. Advertising (4000 BCE) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_advertising Fact-checking is literally just a Google search away. Irony intended.

For other heavy reading: Ecclesiastes (Qohelet) As I became a teen my reading became varied thankfully and I came across this book at a time when nothing felt important. When all feels lost and nothing matters, Ecclesiastes is great for giv

Sheesh. What do we do? Are we so apathetic that we don’t care? I guess we all just feel that caring requires too much effort and lack of a personal return on investment. My activism will start and end here with this comment. Maybe things wi

Agreed. A targeted strike against enemy combatants (with minimal civilian deaths) is LEGAL WAR. Indiscriminate booby traps into a civilian population (regardless of the original buyer) is definitely TERRORISM. At this point, Israel’s detrac

You’re wrong. I’m in infosec as well. Kids (12+) know how to use Tor because we’ve made the “dark web” a cool place at this point. And the Rhysida ransomware onion can be found with a simple Google search. The knowledge that’s it was Rhysid

What a great write up! The EdX brand was amazing. It’s sad what it’s become. I don’t know too much about classcentral but I hope that the blog post was written in the interest of seeing MOOCs thrive.

In the case of homelessness… We’ve learned both that if you … 1) provide free housing people will use it 2) fine/jail people for camping on the street and in parks it works as a deterrent Why not both? I feel lazy right now but feel fr

I actually blame the auditors. In the case of password construction and complexity, we’ve learned that rotation and complexity leads to worse password practices. https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html However m

You almost have to pull the site to stroke bounty hunter egos when you could just push a change to prod instead. If not, they are quick to bash you publicly. There’s too much hubris in the “professional” web app bug hunter community. Genera

This will go nowhere. Generally if a corporate board has a risk committee that meets regularly and obtains consistent “audits” that demonstrate a company follows its own policies and procedures then it skates by these shareholders lawsuits.

It’s sad as well. The original studies on peanut allergy and bamba in Israel came out many years ago. It’s taken people so long in the US to learn about the value of introducing small amount to babies at a young age to protect them. I can o
