Concerning the PGP & S/MIME security alert today, as far as I understood, the attack works as follows:
1) Alice sends Bob an encrypted message, I intercept it but cannot read it.
2) I craft a new email to Bob and include the crypted text as an MIME attachment.
3) Bob decrypts the complete email, through an error in his MIME parser, the decrypted text from Alice becomes part of a larger HTML text.
4) By displaying the HTML mail, the secret message may be exfiltrated as part of an URL.
If you're working a lot in the IT security area, you will inevitably become very adept in interpreting Tarot cards and reading tea leaves ;-).
Contrary to all expectations, no trolley was involved in the fatal autonomous car accident.

@dredmorbius Why do you call people to flag me as spammer? Neither did I spam nor did I put the pic in any wrong context.

Concerning female tech talent, I think shows like Americas New Top Model are weapons of mass destruction. As dumb as Damore's memo was, compared to the impact of such shows he is small fry.
Of Risk, Traffic Accidents, and Giant Flaming Meteors of Death
"The question of risk, and risk pricing has been on my mind. In particular, the difficulty in portraying the significance of small, contained, individual risk vs. global, catastrophic, highly correlated, and/or existential risk. This is a distinction which is poorly captured in much discussion...."
Two weeks to go till my summer vacation this year. I feel deadly tired...
Conservative politics are an easy sell in rural areas. But the problem is: they just *CANNOT* deliver.
To stop the decline of the rural America, a level of government intervention would be required that is 100% incompatible with the conservative core ideology.

A quick note that I'm seeing some oddness on other social media accounts, which may indicate attempts to quiet me down.
I've got a number of presences in a number of places.
@skk Heads-up in the event you see flags or reports against my profile.
North Korea calls Trump 'bereft of reason'. I tend to belief them. They know a lot about such problems with leaders.
I would not say that there is nothing to criticize with that movie.... there is (e.g. the handling of the romantic arc, main villain being unconscious most of the time).
But it seems to me very unfair that an unimaginative x-th generation reboot like "Kong" gets a better rating.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Just coming back from the cinema and I am bit surprised about the negative feedback Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is getting.
Acting is OK, the plot is straight and (as expected) the visuals are absolutely stunning and off the charts. Especially the richness and consistency of the design is beyond everything I have seen lately.
If you watch this movie (which I recommend), pick the cinema with biggest and best screen you can get to.
It is surprising how easily people fold when they have to take 10% of what they deal out....
CNN was a lot more gentle with that idiot than he deserves and still he cries out about the pressure on him.

You will have, if you're lucky, 500,000 conscious hours in this Universe: 85 years, 2/3 spent awake.
How much of that time can you devote to others?
2 people: 250k hours each.
20: 25k
200: 2.5k
2,000: 250
20,000: 25 -- just over a day.
200k: 2.5
2 million: 15 minutes. Andy Warhol's truism is Small World only.
20 m: 1.5 minutes
200 m: 9 seconds
2 billion: 0.9 seconds
8 billion: 0.225 seconds
If someone devotes a quarter second to you, you're getting more than your share.
