What would your advice be, if you were going to set up a blog to host a civil-society non-techie activist campaign and were worried that [a small totalitarian dictatorship] was going to attack, DDOS, and try to kill it?
Occasionally I get posed questions like the above, and I want to coalesce my thinking. Exactly as the above, you have a small campaign of people who are dedicated but who are scared of user-interfaces and configuration panels. You have a message you want to “get out”. You are pretty sure that $STATE_ACTOR_BADGUY is going…

There are so many *choice* bad takes in this @CircleID piece that it’s hard to know where to begin: apparently the failure of cybersecurity is due to #Section230 causing #CryptoAnarchy; but I did learn something amazing…
So there’s this piece in CircleID by Anthony Rutkowski Until the mid-90s, the development and deployment of cryptographic communication techniques was largely the province of governments and regulated network service providers, and small numbers of companies and academics that supported both.

If “The #Wellerman” was a swag-bearing representative of a #Whaling contract company, that means the #Whalers were #GigEconomy workers? #SeaShanty
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weller_brothers#Folklore The sea shanty “Soon May The Wellerman Come” [c.1860-70] continues its chorus with “And bring us sugar and tea and rum,” and thus illustrates that Weller Bros were major suppliers of shore whalers supplies. “The workers at these bay-whaling stations were not paid wages, they were paid in slops (ready made clothing), spirits and tobacco.”[6] The shanty went viral…

“The Peculiar Origins of the Performance Review, and Other HR Bureaucracy” # this is funny, politically-incorrect business dynamite – and I fear that it’s true:
The Peculiar Origins of the Performance Review, and Other HR Bureaucracy It is the second- and third-place performers (Class 2) who will clamor the most loudly for the institution of a performance review process. Their thinking goes like this: First, they will ask (or somehow subtly inquire) as to why they were not the ones…
