I’ve made the decision to move on from my employer.
I’m looking for security leadership roles, ie director of sec/eng, or as a first/early security hire to build out teams.
If you someone to build out psychologically safe, high-performing security teams at your company, please reach out!

When I die, the people dealing with the remnants of my estate will have to deal with tens of thousands of notebooks and journals that are completely empty except for ancillary illustrations of cats.

lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

One time when living in sf, with a Comcast residential IP, me and my partner canada’ed too hard that we somehow convinced Google that our IP should be geolocated to the center of Canada (which happens to be Regina).
In six of the major geolocation databases my home IP resolves to the White House rose garden
(I do not live in the White House rose garden)
(I do not live in the White House rose garden)
the other wrinkle in all these "we're banning porn for UK users!" and "bluesky isn't available in mississippi" stories that no one seems to be talking about:
geo-ip is inaccurate as shit, even before VPNs get involved. you can't just detect where people are with any kind of consistency

Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!

The crisis of individualism and identity is exacerbated by the rise of tabulation machines, even more so when storage is involved. And so individuality vs mass classification are inevitably at direct odds.

Vanity Fair has a new profile of Waymo CEO Tekedra Mawakana, positioning her as a kind of anti-Elon, and yours truly gets quoted along the way.
Worth a read, if you think all "self-driving cars" are the same, and all leading to the same place (they're not).

I fear these are absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of salt and acid, but also somehow rich? I added some chopped Grillo's and honestly it was gilding the lily. 9/10, one of the best instant ramens I've ever had, will probably buy a bunch more.
