When I spoke to these guys [0] we touched on those quirks and foibles that make a signature (including TCP stack stuff beyond control of any userspace app). I love this curl, but I worry that if a component takes on the role of deception in

All great reasons and so true. I kinda stopped monitoring web-stats because sometimes we pour effort into an article or episode that gets depressingly low views, while others - of dubious quality - soar in the ratings. It's that random

That's an interesting take. When the environmentally unsustainable and so far unprofitable "AI" gold-rush collapses the world will be left with thousands of "models" kicking about, with widespread ability to run loc

You're right that a "European Cloud" has been a 'dream' for a long time. But I don't see the reasons you cite (regulation) as a cause of impediment. And you slightly mis-parsed my words. A migration of cloud se

There's always good news and a silver lining. We've been saying for years that BigTech is the cybersecurity threat. Working toward European cloud migration has been like pulling teeth as so many companies felt locked-in to insec

I was feeling a lot of Erich Fromm there. Same spirit: insanity is a sane reaction to an insane society. We are all, well, well past that point today. Change will come. The easy way. Or the hard way.

I think that's why it's all the more important that trademarks do not get so casually lumped-in with the ridiculous catch-all term "intellectual property". (agreeing with you here and suggesting that people who work with

Yes, but to clarify, it's a particular sort of "grin and bear it". Stamina and stoicism in a hopeless situation, absolutely yes! Cybersecurity is a losing battle. It's being a tiny resistance against an unstoppable tide.

You're absolutely right. I did hear a few of those. And there was as much shame as pride in the old stories.

Got a 2005 Asus EEPC netbook hanging around that is still part of the family and does useful work. Battery still good (replaced twice) and a few scratches on the screen and a broken key. Took it on the train with me recently as I just neede

Excellent initiative. It's not just code, as in development, but we are desperate for good people in cybersecurity who can handle network security, complex operational procedures, data handling and compartmentalisation... a good servic

Very much this. The world has changed. It used to be that assuming other people have a low capacity for political reason was itself a "political position" - namely elitism. Folks like Orwell come from a long, long tradition of the

Ambiguity is a feature for propaganda. If people project random hopes and fears onto buzzwords that gets them talking and serves sales well. In an imaginary world where people were highly educated and journalists honest and specific, new ad

I don't envy any referee who hopes to keep politics and technology in separate corners and playing by Queensberry Rules. But good luck all the same.

And sitting on an airfield for months at a time bored senseless, it used to be cool to paint insulting platitudes like "Eat this MOFO" on munitions. Now: 1) Blowing kids to smithereens must be done in a politically correct fashio

Yuri Bezmenov, a defector and ex-KGB analyst spoke publicly in the 80s about the "long game". What he described is pretty much a blueprint for everything we've seen in the past few years.

Most of them were told "Never, ever speak about any of this". And they didn't. Like the Zanryu Nipponhei [0], they were loyal to the last. Even my own father kept things about his airforce days way too tightly wrapped up long

This is entirely as it is supposed to operate. See Archibald Tuttle [0]. Cowardly, weak little men who would never have the nerve to look another in the eye, are depicted in Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" in a different way to Orwe

Soldering to germanium? Personally I wouldn't have even tried such a method - rather pin the crystal between two spung gold contacts.

The kicker is it's not really a dichotomy either. Academia and industry have gotten closer together, colluding to decide what research is funded and what is silently dropped, what is taught and what never makes it onto the curriculum.
