Microsoft's digital crimes unit said it would pursue security researchers who "irresponsibly" disclose 0day. But it's simple: Redmond can't dictate what researchers do with bugs. If you can't entice hackers to disclose bugs via your preferred channels, that's a you problem! (aka skill issue)

"Why are people so negative about the economy?" Consider this. There are two possibilities: 1) He's right and my livelihood is screwed. Maybe not 18 months but soon. 2) He's full of shit, it won't happen, and AI is a giant bubble that will crash the economy. Why would I feel good about either?
Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI

Recent status: watching someone that works at Zoom take a past due security training about not taking meetings in public spaces while he was on a train going between Copenhagen and Stockholm. He completed his training then had a sales meeting about volume discounts.
A photo of a Dell laptop screen taken between two train seats. The screen has a training video with the text "You never know who's sitting next to you" showing on it. The picture taker is sitting behind the person taking the training, so it's OK.

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

So, I know I'm very late to the party here - but just finished watching SquidGame S1. That was a wild ride! The twist in the last episode was a bit of a shock.. I look forward to watching S2 in 2027 😂😂

I absolutely love @xkcd.com's concept of the "lucky 10000" and I feel lucky both every time I get to introduce someone to something neat and when someone does the same for me. Comic at: xkcd.com/1053/
Comic with two panels. 
First panel: I try not to make fun of people for admitting they don't know things. Because for each thing "everyone knows" by the time they're adults, every day there are, on average, 10,000 people in the US hearing about it for the first time.
Fraction who have heard about it at birth = 0%
Fraction who have heard of it by 30 [symbol for approximately equals] 100%
US birth rate [symbol for approximately equals] 4,000,000/year
Number hearing about it for the first time [symbol for approximately equals] 10,000/day

Second panel: If I make fun of people, I train them not to tell me when they have one of those moments. And I miss out on the fun.

(Because the BlueSky app will not show me this text I'm typing it may not be perfect, sor. ..

Two stick figures taking: 
First: Diet coke and mentor thing, what's that? 
Second: oh man! Come on we're going to the grocery store!
First: why? 
First: you're one of today's lucky 10,0000ry)

The overwhelming feeling I had from all of this was just one of awe. What an amazing incredible time to be alive in human history. A time in which heart surgery on an infant is not just _possible_ but incredibly safe and utterly routine. 8/

Tonight is Spaghetti night for this week. This time, I dialed the wine quality back a notch. Still pretty good wine though!

Been at the local brewery for a few hours with some friends.. Food truck wasn't open, so.. Get home and think a vindaloo is in order. It's delicious, but I'm being punished by it 😂
