If you’re wondering who’s guiding our transition, it’s the best New Yorkers that money can’t buy.

Arnold quietly smiled in response while looking away from the young software engineer, "You know what I did before this? Before coding?" "No." "I was a chemical plant operator. You can't just restart one of those. The fire, the pressurization, the catalyzation, it has to keep running - tended all times. You walk jungles of process lines at 4AM and feel their swirling and vibration and heat. They are a physicality you stop believing separate from a living thing. They are an obligation. They are more a child than the thing back there will ever be, John. You drop them and they break forever. You talk about fearing machines. But I know someone killed by a machine. A thing you regard as the future." John started to talk, but was gently preempted in a rumbly voice. "A human decided that death. Not the braided stainless steel hose rotting away. A human decided the engineer was wrong, it didn't need to be replaced. That machine was just a messenger for the choice of a man."

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair.—Douglas Adams

A commonly-misunderstood aspect of computer security is that you are battling computers.

No. That is not right at all. Computers are barely involved.

You are battling humans who eat apathy and coordination problems.

Abridged story about my incepting experience with computer security in an SME network. I already spent all day then removing spyware – another tale. Story regards 2007-2009, now many online references have expired. Like Symantec blogs and virus index...

A change needs witness to what was before.

I feel sick when I find anyone adjusting his mind to the new tyranny which is succeeding abroad. Because of its fundamental strictures, fascism does not seem to me to admit of any compromise or any rationalization, and I resent the patronizing air of persons who find in my plain belief in freedom a sign of immaturity. If it is boyish to believe that a human being should live free, then I’ll gladly arrest my development and let the rest of the world grow up. He saw what was happening clearly but what he saw from others was alarming. “Where I expected to find indignation, I found paralysis, or a sort of dim acquiescence, as in a child who is duly swallowing a distasteful pill,” he continued. What then, was the answer, in the mind of the man who brought us Charlotte’s Web? The least a man can do at such a time is to declare himself and tell where he stands. I believe in freedom with the same burning delight, the same faith, the same intense abandon which attended its birth on this continent more than a century and a half ago. … I am in love with freedom and that it is an affair of long standing and that it is a fine state to be in, and that I am deeply suspicious of people who are beginning to adjust to fascism and dictators merely because they are succeeding in war. From such adaptable natures a smell rises. I pinch my nose.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Why the planet now needs China. The World Bank’s Reboot Development report has belatedly confirmed what scientists have warned for decades: humanity is breaching the safe operating limits of the Earth.

Beach vacations only became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the lifestyle of the wealthy in Western countries.

Early Europeans, and especially the ancient Greeks, thought the beach was a place of hardship and death. (via @us.theconversation.com)
The beach is a popular summer destination, but for ancient Greeks it was a different story
