It's a spectacular afternoon. Here's a picture of two baby bunnies who've taken up residence in our backyard
“I think she uses Swarm.”
“Is that like Tile?”
“Yeah, sort of. Except for people.”
Pups are having some fun in the warm weather

It's weird that every blog post & tutorial on writing code on Chromebook seems to start with "turn off trusted boot Verification & enable Developer Mode". That's like jailbreaking one of the most secure OS's as a matter of routine.
This is great. (From @jwgoerlich's talk today on security audits at Converge Detroit) https://mastodon.social/media/biNWaA1qoAyJnADMwlM

I think I just witnessed peak suburban dystopia: 8 year-old talking on his iPhone 7 Plus at Chipotle, ignoring the tan white dude with dreds (sporting an anarchy tatt) asking the kid what he wanted on his burrito bowl.
There are 3 bunnies chasing each other around a tree in my neighbor's backyard right now and it's hysterical.
Them: Kenn, what do you know about Scala?
Me: ::blink:: ::blink::
…
Them: Here's an undocumented production system you now own. You're a quick study, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Current status: “That's pretty broken. It's YOLOs all the way down.”
Just posted my slides from the Duo Security tech talk last night on real world crypto, system threats, & trust signals. Really fun crowd.

I love this. The journalist who won the Charleston Gazette-Mail’s first Pulitzer still does a monthly night cops shift.

A couple thousand dollars for infra-booking alternate carriers, or many millions in bad PR & litigation. That was someone's decision.

That United 3411 story is horrifying. What an amazing sequence of staggeringly poor judgements.
