I call on @LindseyGrahamSC to implement back doors in all federal and congressional systems. Lead the way, show us how it’s done!
Wow. Graham: “My advice to you [in Silicon Valley] is to get on with it, because this time next year, if we haven’t found a way that you can live with, we will impose our will on you.”
The FBI battle with Apple was never about access and always about legal precedent to force companies to subvert their encryption.
The battle proves the opposite of @SenFeinstein, even without a backdoor, it can be broken. Imagine if it had a backdoor.

Ranking Member Feinstein asks the audience to remember the 2015 San Bernardino shooting in her home state. That shooting sparked the Apple/FBI legal battle.
Not all of the internet is a dumpster fire.

Looking for something to watch? “Undone” is amazing storytelling (and funny!), definitely recommend it.

In the case of gene therapy, companies recoup their cost by charging the lifetime value for the one-time use of the medication.

It’s worse than that. We’ve already been down this road, and know how it turns out.
Spoiler alert: it’s a shitstorm of racism, classism, and abuse against the differently-abled.

More so, art is about influencing others, to see something from a new perspective, to motivate, to craft a narrative.
Being successful in security requires influencing an organization to carefully consider the risks and act upon them appropriately.
We need everyone in security.
When we lived in Luxembourg, my then 16-year-old daughter could go anywhere in the country by rail and bus, and frequently she did.
Back in the US, it’s crazy that the public transit is so terrible or non-existent, save for a few places

It takes 11 months to renew a green card, why can't the renewal process start 12 months before it expires?
Having an expired green card for half a year causes all sorts of problems, including driver's license renewal, work auth, etc.
Or here's a thought, hire more staff!
In 1986 @alfiekohn published a book called “The Case Against Competition.” It drew upon 100s of studies to highlight negative aspects of competition and to show that even purported benefits are largely myths.
33 years later, people still need convincing.

One of my former employers had a “family” event that required being bussed to the location. Except busses left before school was out, which meant either keeping my kids with me all day, or self-driving to the event. I skipped it entirely and we had our own fun event.
Yes. I haven’t had a land line in 15+ years, my kids have never had one, and only my parents have one.

It’s not well recognized that being “promoted” to a manager role is a total career change, not a step up in progression of a technical career.

“The last thing a deep sea dweller will ever discover is water.”
Although we all occupy the same space, our experiences are starkly different, even when literally standing side-by-side.
For men that are surprised, they have a blind spot that they don’t even know about.
This is a point made in Mindf*ck, the book by @chrisinsilico about Cambridge Analytica. Wylie makes further recommendations to hold engineers personally accountable, similar to civil engineers, physicians, etc.
