Massive thanks to Maya B Kronic at Urbanomic, everyone at Furtherfield, everyone at Torque, and to Stephen Fortune for editing my Cybersyn essay that hasn't been reprinted anywhere yet despite being next level due to his editing. Editors are awesome.
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

UK plans to ban ransom payments for critical infrastructure. Businesses warn the ban won't stop cyberattacks and could force essential services to collapse when backup systems disappear, choosing to break the law or watching infrastructure go down. What's more important?

New paper hot off the press www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We analysed over 40,000 computer vision papers from CVPR (the longest standing CV conf) & associated patents tracing pathways from research to application. We found that 90% of papers & 86% of downstream patents power surveillance
