Just got another "why are you posting photos when <bad thing> is happening".

While posting photos may not be the most socially productive activity, it beats scolding strangers on the Internet by miles.

@MHowell @aaronpettman If I were @agreenberg, the author of the original piece, I’d be rather peeved.

@MHowell @aaronpettman There’s no link on my website because it’s not my work. I was commenting on the work of others.

And I never actually said the words in my quote or spoke to the author of the piece linked to. It appears to be an uncredited, perhaps AI-written, paragraph-by-paragraph ripoff/rewrite of this Wired piece (which accurately quotes me): https://www.wired.com/story/satellites-are-leaking-the-worlds-secrets-calls-texts-military-and-corporate-data/

Ordered food delivered, and now the tracking page says they've "lost the signal from the courier". Astronauts on the space station probably see this message a lot.

London's "Thin House" looks as if it belongs in a Potemkin village or as a background facade on a Hollywood studio lot, but it's something of a Tardis, larger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Created to make way for the tracks of the Metropolitan Railway (now the District and Circle lines) behind it, its triangular footprint gives it the illusion of being little more than a shallow rectangle when viewed from the street.

Life your life so that when you die, the MTA dedicates a subway station in your honor. First Franklin St, with the "Respect" signs added after Aretha passed away, and now the 79th St Saul Zabar station.

@cynicalsecurity I could believe this.

Thief: "We need you to take down US-EAST-1".

Insider: "OK, but it will cost you."

Thief: "Name your price."

Insider: "I need the crown jewels of France."

OK, now if the Louvre heist had involved exploiting a flaw in a burglar alarm that depends on AWS, I could get behind that. But they were a day early.

@SteveBellovin Also Lamport's definition of a distributed system: one in which a computer you've never heard of can render your own computer unusable.

It sure is a good thing we have highly distributed cloud systems that eliminate single points of failure.

Today is the day we get to quickly find out whose systems are built using AWS.

Troll tells me I should be more respectful.

I try to calibrate my respectfulness accurately, but I sometimes overshoot. Apologies for any confusion.

Most of the signs I saw at my local No Kings rally were magic marker on cardboard. If, as Trump says, Soros was paying for them, you'd think he could have afforded something fancier.
