@beantin @tsvenson Ironically many people leak those themselves as they happily recite them loud and clear when paying in stores. 🤦♂️ (which staff aren’t allowed to ask for anymore, but they don’t stop people from offering it)
Beautiful piece on the complexities of the emerging world, responsibility, and the choices we need to make. by @dannyhillis

”Our home planet is inhabited by both engineered organisms and evolved machines. Our atmosphere is the emergent creation of forests, farms and factories. Our networks of commerce, power and communications are becoming as richly interconnected as ecologies and nervous systems.”
1. Allow multiple interpretations of responses (subway/auto)
2. Apply response-shaming (I like traffic)
3. Dismiss critics with a loaded slur and label
4. Ignore lack of representative respondents
5. Assert big, exact win for my own conviction (cars)
Textbook research fail. x.com/elonmusk/statu…
Unfortunately this type of textbook research fail is also an extremely efficient way to garner attention in the new media landscape. Obviously he knows what he’s doing. Which makes it even worse.
↪ Replying to @jpantuso
@jpantuso @RikDhuyvetters @StefanRoock Yes, this is about design of the physical shared space between motorised vehicles and those vulnerable to their impact. Intent, behavior or car ownership does not factor into the critique. It’s about changing the design of the physical space, not about blaming one or the other.
The only foolproof way to protect user data is to not collect it in the first place.

Finland, a country of 5.5 million people, has an impressive resilience to fake news influence. Sharing an 832-mile border with Russia, it has faced down Kremlin-backed propaganda campaigns ever since it declared independence from Russia 102 years ago.

”Within America’s own representative democracy, citizens would surely rise up in outrage if the government attempted to mandate that every person above the age of 12 carry a tracking device that revealed their location 24 hours a day. Yet, in the decade since Apple’s App Store was created, Americans have, app by app, consented to just such a system run by private companies. Now, as the decade ends, tens of millions of Americans, including many children, find themselves carrying spies in their pockets during the day and leaving them beside their beds at night — even though the corporations that control their data are far less accountable than the government would be.”

Just received notice that my opinion piece on cobolt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo will be published on Monday in Sweden’s daily newspaper DN (at least online).
Finishing 2019 with a strong message on #digitalethics, giving incentive for boosted efforts in 2020. 👊
1/3 In this image the Swedish artist Karl Jilg illustrates risks for unprotected road users where cars and humans are mixed. Humans have a hard time understanding risk of speed but understand risks of height more easily.
2/3 In this image I have added obstacles that pedestrians have to struggle with in modern day (carelessly parked e-scooters). There are also two individuals added, bringing to attention that space is shared with people with mobility and visual constraints...

And here are the two images side by side.
Please, let's be more responsible with the little safe space we have to spare in city traffic.
In the left image the Swedish artist Karl Jilg illustrates the risks of unprotected road users where cars and humans are mixed. Humans have a hard time understanding risk of speed but understand risks of height more easily.
In the right image I have added the types of obstacles that pedestrians further have to struggle with in modern day (carelessly parked e-scooters). There are also two individuals added, bringing to attention that this space is shared with people with mobility and visual constraints... by extension of course also people with auditory and sensory constraints. These people are further put in harms way by modern obstacles in their path.
Please, let's be more responsible with the little safe space we have in city traffic.
One of the most important end-of-year threads you’ll read. Sleep is something I struggle a lot with, even though I’m well aware of its importance. But I am blessed to be able to take 5-6 weeks off work every summer. New years resolutions here we come. 😊 x.com/grimalkina/sta…
Interestingly, I have recently invested in a sleep mask with wireless headphones. This free podcast is one I listen to to help me fall asleep faster. It works wonders for me. getsleepy.com

@codeability Esperanza in Raising Dion (Netflix) is awesome. Played by Sammi Haney. The sense of humor and wit she brings to the show makes it 1000x better.
I’ll also be buying her t-shirt designs on disabilityshirts.com
@codeability And of course she’s on Twitter. 💯 @SammiHaneySassy
1) A fisher had finished work early and was sitting next to her boat on the beach. A wealthy business consultant walked by, clearly upset by seeing the woman displaying such laziness.
“Why aren’t you out fishing?”, he inquired forcefully.
2) The fisher responded: “Because I have caught enough fish for today. My family will eat and I can sell some for profit. Now I’m taking it easy and enjoying the afternoon sun.”
3) “Why don’t you catch more fish when you have time to spare?”, asked the advisor, somewhat bewildered.
“What would I do with all that fish?”, she wondered.
4) “You could sell it and make more profit. With that money you could buy a bigger engine for your boat. You could go further out to sea, fish on deeper waters, catch more fish and buy nylon nets."
5) He continued: "That could give you even more fish and make you even more money! Soon you’d have enough money to buy another boat. You could create a whole fishing fleet, sell it and make a fortune.”
6) “And then what would I do?”, the fisher pondered under her hat.
“Then you can relax, unwind and enjoy life!“, he explained.
“Well, what do you think I’m doing now?”, she laughed.
7) // This is a version of the old parable of the fisherman and the businessman, popular in Brazil but likely told elsewhere as well. The original author appears unknown.

@ceejbot Awesome. Is this a program I can find online? I so want to get back to deadlifting again.
A virtual hug to all the infosec people who will be working overtime this holiday.
Still makes you wonder how many backdoors have already been planted using the vulnerability, as the first vulnerable version of the Citrix software was released in 2014.
