I love seeing your kids’ first day of school pics! All of them are beautiful! But saying this with my cybersecurity professional hat on: you probably shouldn’t be posting pictures of your kids. I’m sorry :(

The dream of URLs—open, permissionless sharing—is fading. I can't paste URLs into my AIs or send them to my friends and be sure that they'll see what I see. But you know what does work? Screenshots! Screenshots are the successor to URLs. Open, permissionless sharing.

One of the most privileged life perspective things I have in my career, is working at a place for 10 years. Instead of blaming an anonymous dumb idiot doing something years ago, increasingly it was me. A younger, naïve, idealistic me who thought some other sucker would be maintaining this by then.

It’s weird that we created open source to be free to fork and personalize however you want without any agreement from upstream, and then we created social norms where we shame people for doing that

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

As someone who, while growing up, had measles, rubella, and many other horrible illnesses now preventable by vaccination, I simply cannot fathom why people want to revert to that time. I spent a lot of time in bed or at the hospital as a child. Yes, I survived, but not by much. Why go back there?

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor. Not one more penny.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

Very glad to see this paragraph, which IMO should be in every autism piece. Good work all around.
Excerpt from piece:

Rising rates

Autism rates have been rising, something that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., frequently refers to as an “epidemic.” The causes of this rise are relatively well known, however. As our understanding of autism has improved, the diagnostic criteria have broadened, and a major change occurred in 2013 when autism and several other conditions were combined into one continuous spectrum disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Improved screening is alerting clinicians to more cases in children, and adults whose autism was missed when they were younger are seeking diagnoses. Additionally, improved understanding of autism has allowed for better diagnoses of people who, in prior decades, may have received other diagnoses such as “intellectual disability.”
