The SWSIS competition isn't possible without volunteers, especially the team from @CRAtweets . And thanks in particular to Rebecca Wright at Barnard College for her leadership of the selection team!

Today's word: "Powerpointlessness". Giving a technical talk without use of PowerPoint, such that you need to pay attention to the speaker instead of the screen. A very rare skill among people in the tech field.

As a Purdue alum, I think this is a great sign of leadership in the post-COVID (sic) world.

A different angle on my life: I'll be a speaker at an event that's part of Sinai and Synapses (Scientists in Synagogues) at Kol Ami NVRC. Thrilled to have @RJELevi as my partner on this talk! sinaiandsynapses.org/content/15-com…

Today, 37 is my favorite number.

Nixon was the 37th president. Coincidence?

I want a device so that when someone pulls up next to me with the music blaring so loud my car shakes, it'll automatically blast them back with 120dB of Barry Manilow or Teletubbies. Just sayin.

Anybody on that new site thing? I'm jjjepstein (yeah, 3j's for good luck, or something).

ANNOUNCEMENT: The U.S. National Science Foundation Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) 2.0 Vision Statement is publicly available on arXiv! Check it out here: arxiv.org/abs/2308.00623

At the request of NSF, Farinaz Koushanfar and I have collected input from numerous members of the technology community. Input was solicited from the SaTC community across academia, industry, and government for insights on the next ten years in security and privacy research.

The SaTC 2.0 Vision Statement is a synthesized document that highlights the challenges, opportunities, and needs for new science and outreach within the SaTC community, and sets priorities for the next ten years of research in security and privacy.

SaTC is welcoming feedback from the broader community. If you have any comments, please submit them here: surveymonkey.com/r/nsfsecure_tr…

For those few people left here, I'm blogging about my 3 month assignment in Jakarta at medium.com/@jeremyepstein…. So far mostly writing about tourist stuff, but planning to write about work once I figure out how to get approval.

Trying to transfer a domain from @ipower to another provider. Website fails; tech sup says to change email to solve it. Still fails & blocks transfer for 60 days, so have to pay for domain renewal & try again in 2 months. Tech sup refuses to help, even though it's their fault.

Considering moving my investments from Fidelity Investments to Vanguard. Fidelity is jumping on the foolish bitcoin bandwagon, and Vanguard is accurately pointing out that bitcoin and other crypto currencies are a train wreck harming investors.
