Jack ReVelle found and defused two nuclear bombs that accidentally fell on North Carolina. He couldn’t talk about it for 50 years. He fought the VA to prove his cancer was caused by radiation exposure. He died, quietly, 3 years ago today. Here’s his story: ncrabbithole.com/p/jack-revelle…

The video is so bad they fired and charged the cops involved. It’s so bad they’re preparing for rioting. It’s so bad the police chief has a message out saying she understands the outrage. Now imagine if there wasn’t a video.

Yeah, but speaking personally, if I saw that someone’s religion gave them the power to choke someone with psychic powers, I’d respect that religion and maybe want to study it more.

A question for #infosec practitioners. I've found an abandoned AWS bucket from a very large company. It serves all the images & fonts in their billing emails. I defensively registered it to prevent an attacker from injecting malicious content into the emails I receive. Then I emailed their security.txt contact to inform them and offering to transfer it back (for free, obviously). Was that the right thing to do? Should I have waited for a response from them before securing the bucket?

I took Taco to the vet today. They made it clear that his pain issues are now chronic. I tucked that thought away for most of the day, but it came back to me as I took him on his late walk just now. He’s getting old and I don’t know how I’m going to be able to handle that.

Now that I no longer work there, I will say that something I really disliked about Google (and this may just be a Big Tech thing and not unique to them) is how much of the job was self promoting and the theatrics of demonstrating impact.

The mass layoffs aren't about a recession, they're about stopping wage growth. The Fed's rate hikes aren't about inflation, they're about stopping wage growth. The "quiet quitting"/"nobody wants to work" narratives aren't about productivity, they're about stopping wage growth.
