It is not clear it was done with a warrant. It may have merely been a subpoena for the account details but not really contents. Since FBI refuses to respond to me or my attorney (Jennifer Granick of ACLU, one of the top in this field), we d

Our best shot at ending the TSA security theater was when the Covid biosecurity theater started -- TSA lines seem optimized for contagion. We didn't then, so I don't think we ever will.

I guess you can be somewhat brave here knowing that you can get a new job in about 5 minutes. You might want to consider making a principled stand here, though.

(Thanks; I was searching under the CEO’s name and not IBM for some dumb reason; I blame lack of coffee.) Whoa.

Email migration? I haven’t been following IBM very closely but a quick google search failed me here.

The sad thing is Aukey makes pretty uniformly good products; I'd happily disclose that I'd received free products from them if they sent them to me and then write honest reviews (which would probably be 4 or 5 star, at lest for al

The issue with depth is 1) you can't do a direct ascent to the surface past...18m or so?...with a high level of safety, for a large number of users, and from 30m or so (the recreational limit for most programs) it's even harder, p

I am strongly against child abuse, but I really don't have a problem with a computer being forced to emit textual patterns which include English words correlated with something a human might call a story about child abuse. It's a

Dan was basically the best example of "infectious enthusiasm" combined with being really smart and interested in a lot of stuff. He was one of the first "security people" who got interested in bitcoin as a network, plus

Yeah, some publications (esp NYT) hate linking off-site because it loses them reader-time. For the app: https://www.blockpartyapp.com/signup/

I love services like these -- by having strong end-user read-side filtering, you can run services with less platform-level publication censorship. Platforms like Twitter have unique platform dynamics which make "dogpiling" and stu

There are plenty of publicly traded large security companies. They may not be the absolute best, but they're not going to screw you over. I would feel pretty comfortable calling G4S, Securitas, GardaWorld, DynCorp, Brinks, Control Risk

Goodreads has just generally been "sad" for a very long time. Even before the Amazon acquisition, the site has been slow, hasn't actually innovated in anything, and basically is the equivalent of a late-90s/early-00s cr

The Zappos website now has a Steve Jobs-like tribute on the first page (as well as a banner), which seems appropriate given how amazing Hsieh has been (not merely founding Zappos, but the renewal of DT Las Vegas, plus cool stuff he did back

I think it's probably a function of how big the risks are to themselves vs. others (both relatively and absolutely). I don't think ocean yacht races are as dangerous to bystanders as pirate road races are to even an order of magn

I remember using MicroVision laser headmounts back in 1998. It's kind of shocking how slow commercialization of this has been.

The specific genre of books in your list ("self help") is basically not worth it. Virtually every other type of book is. Good fiction is amazing. Science is great, especially when written at a level just above what you can comfort
