There is no vulnerability more avoidable than &quot;shoulder surfing&quot;, if it actually exists. I spent a long time finding the substance of the mythical #CVE and did not find much. But the defences against it are still a billion-dollar industry so, let&#39;s go. https://cyberprotection-magazine.com/shoulder-surfing-stupid-is-as-stupid-does

@randahl On the plus side, there are people, like me, who regularly ignore or block SEO tricks like this. Eventually we all get it.

Have you ever thought about what happens with the data you give up about yourself if the CVs you send to recruiters? Chris Els has. I talked with him about how to reclaim the data. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/12-17-getting-back-control-of-personal-information/id1455648744?i=1000780918217

A request to my colleagues in political reporting: stop reporting polling numbers two weeks before close elections. The results are always a week behind actual voter sentiment when undecideds finally decide. That’s what happened with Wisconsin results.

What really annoys me about AI is the bluster and misinformation for marketingm including the scare tactics about zero day attacks. So when Ilia Kolochenko, Ph.D. contacted me and wanted to talk about :”the illusion of AI zero day attacks” my ears pricked up. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-12-19-i-knew-it-was-ai-marketing-bs/id1455648744?i=1000786453702

Im listening to Andy Burnham addressing Parliament and he sounds like a traditional Republican, redirecting power from the capitol to local government.

The only thing, and it’s a slim chance, that could save Vance’s career is to resign and distance himself from Trump. Like, now. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/jd-vance-iran-war

The discovery process in journalism is what makes it so rewarding to me. This story began as an interview request that never happened but created a question in my mind: Is this breach going to have unexpected consequences? https://cyberprotection-magazine.com/collaboration-trust-in-devops-at-risk-in-ai-age

Vance could save his presidential hopes if he resigns before the mid terms, resumes his anyone-but-Trump stance and relies on the electorate’s bad memory. https://apple.news/AQGmrm-r0RLyw_UrZkOPe0g

So, make it a loan that requires guests to events at the ballroom to pay $25000 per seat until the loan is paid off with interest, and Trump will be required to provide the collateral. https://apple.news/ANPBBWB0cSQOfWpZNwV2IsA

Just for reference the term “86” originated in 1930s bars, referring to 86 Bedford Street in New York, where bartenders would tell rowdy customers to leave, implying they should go out the back door. It has other references, but none of them relate to assassinations.

I am noticing that wealthy people are using AI to generate opposition essays on the California Billionaire tax, and voters are using AI write explanations of the essays that essentially say billionaires should not have to pay taxes, because… well, because.

Did some research on the tax burden vs tax benefit of the wealthiest Americans and corporations. Tax breaks, direct grants, and contracts over 20 years estimates point to $30–40+ trillion flowing to wealthy individuals and corporations through the tax code. Source CBO &amp; Hoover Institute.

I’ve reached the point that I ignore any article with headlines saying something is “ranked” or they asked x number of experts about something who all said the same thing. I think click bait has jumped the shark
