As somebody who started off as a social scientist (at least in degree) and got into tech and security - I could not agree more. The role of infosec and risk management is to essentially supply a decision support model. Having convincing arguments need to blend data and persuasion

I know of a female pentester who is junior (1-2 yrs experience) but who is very promising. She’s looking for a new job, but can’t relocate, so it’d have to be remote or in Minneapolis area (local to her). Anyone have any leads? Let me know.

Sci-fi Trope: "The Machines rose up and destroyed humanity when a military computer spontaneously awakened." How It Will Really Go Down: "SOS I trained a neural net on the complete works of Chuck Tingle for laughs and now my Tesla is being really inappropriate with me"

There’s a story I’d like to tell here, but it’s not mine to tell. What I will say is that you should not think this kind of discrimination by universities was limited to science and engineering. It was everywhere and it was overt. Anyway: read the thread.

This is 水写纸, it's meant for calligraphy practice. I've never seen anyone use its strange properties for animation and I'm giving it a try.

Tell me a magic college major, and I'll tell you the hardest class experience in it.

hey folks help me out (RTs plz): what is your favorite developer tool + why? what was the first programming language you learned? what language ecosystem do you most paticipate in now?

I read somewhere that Miles was "popularized" in ITSV and I want to prove something. Retweet if you knew who Miles Morales was BEFORE Into the Spider-Verse.

In the US we're seeing remarkable (if still inadequate) progress on improving vote-casting tech (states are finally abandoning paperless DREs!). But far less progress bolstering the local back-end systems that support voting, which are what we know were attacked in 2016.

Which is why what I recommend doesn't quite fit in a hashtag: 1 - hand marked optical scan paper ballots; assistive tech for voters who want it. 2 - mandatory risk limiting audits 3 - vastly increased resources to protect local election mgmt. All three are *equally* critical.

here's a tip for you new college kids don't cover for people who put in no effort on group projects. they're exploiting you and your fear that you'll be penalized if you don't do all their work too.

I basically don't use Twitter anymore. I may occasionally glance at my TL and I am going to ensure this handle remains mine, but don't assume I've seen anything posted here. If you want to communicate with me please send email to the address on my website.
