A Newcastle fan vents his anger on YouTube over Joe Kinnear's return to St James' Park
- June 18, 2013
- Comments0
With already over 2000 views since it was uploaded onto YouTube on Monday, the rant from 'The True Geordie' appears to resonate with plenty of Newcastle fans at the moment.
The True Geordie has posted a 9 minute video online in which he lambastes his beloved club for having appointed Joe Kinnear as the club's Director of Football on Sunday.
The monologue is full of zingers.
After explaining how he refused to believe the rumours at first instance, The True Geordie labelled his club a "fucking shambles, we are a fucking laughing stock". Then the abused really started to flow.
Calling Kinnear the "worst caretaker since Ian Huntley", the talking-head then dismantled the cockney's CV to "19% win record [at Newcastle], piss poor… one of the worst appointments in Premier League history. Then Alan Shearer comes along and takes the fall for you cos he sent him up shit creek without a paddle."
Watch The True Geordie swear-word laden rant ripping Joe Kinnear apart below.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Greatest Game
by Paul on 08/26/07 at 10:31 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun,
But every time a new great game comes along, that New Year's Eve game has managed to remain "The Greatest Hockey Game Ever Played" point of reference.
And the New Year's Eve game in the Montreal Forum in 1975 still has a phenomenal "I was there" value. So if I have to pick a game, as was the assignment for this series, why not claim this game?...
Outside the Forum, scalpers were asking $150 for a pair of tickets an hour before game time. That was an insane amount of money to pay to go to a game at the time. Those of the standing room-stuffed crowd of 18,975 who paid that kind of money had no complaints.
What made this game great was that, in the end, it turned out to be about the glory of the game. Hockey that night, in the building which was the cathedral of the sport, was, with apologies to the Brazilians and soccer, The Beautiful Game.
The Montreal Canadiens and the Soviet's Central Red Army ended up in a 3-3 tie.

Cloud Infographic: Saving Means Sacrificing
One of the biggest deciding factors in selecting a cloud service provider are the costs. Companies want to save money and saving money is not only a good thing – but a great thing! Unfortunately, low prices in most cases will reflect in the quality of the services you pay for which can be greatly detrimental to your business. Low prices can mean hindered site performance, inexperienced support, increased security concerns and a whole slew of other issues that can, and will arise. You must take a look at the whole picture and budget accordingly.

Washington - Jun 18, 2007 - A group of 72 congressmen signed a letter that was sent to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Deborah Platt Majors. The focus of the letter states that the proposed XM/Sirius transaction would harm consumers. The prime authors of the letter are Representatives Gene Green (D-TX) and Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI).
The letter begins by repeating the existing FCC Rules that stipulate that one entity could not own both satellite radio licenses. From there, the letter states many of the already publicized arguments relating to antitrust issues, robust competition of two providers and faults of both providers relating to FCC rules.
Read the letter that is posted on Sensenbrenner's website.

Golfers invited to join world record attempt
Relevant offers
Canterbury Golf will try to break a world record tonight to kickstart its Hook Into Golf month.
Chief executive Grant Lewis hopes for a big turnout at the Hagley Golf Course for the attempt on having the most golfers tee off at once.
There is no official mark to beat, but the attempt has been approved by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Registration will be at 5.30pm, with the action at 6pm. Participants are encouraged to bring a club and golf ball, although some equipment will be available to borrow.
"It's just a fun way of launching the Hook Into Golf month," Lewis said of the five-week programme that will run until March 17.
"There's going to be a number of pros there and free coaching, a sausage sizzle, coffee cart and prizes."
One participant will take home a new set of golf clubs, a bag and a trundler. The others would receive a concession card with discounted green fees, Lewis said.
Canterbury Golf received "a significant grant" from several overseas organisations, including golf's ruling authority, the R&A, and the United States Golf Association after the earthquakes.
Lewis said the plan was to use the funds to help clubs boost memberships through the Hook Into Golf promotion.
Membership numbers in Canterbury Golf's 37 clubs have dropped 4 per cent in the past six months. The programme will include free club days held at various courses to encourage people to try the sport.
Flying high: In July 2008, 15,000 Palestinian children flew kites along the beach during a United Nations-sponsored summer camp in northern Gaza to claim a world record.
Traffic jam: Nearly 300 tow trucks spelt out the words "New York" on a runway after setting a world record for the "Largest Tow Truck Parade" in New York in 2008. The Metropolitan New York Towing Association's mark of 292 tow trucks was beaten a year later by 309 trucks in Illinois.
Bubble feat: Fan Yang set a world record in 2005 by fitting the most people inside a soap bubble. Not content with his 2005 mark of 18, in 2011 Yang sneaked 118 people inside a bubble.
Square eyes: German woman Claudia Wavre and Canadian Suresh Joachim broke the record for watching movies non-stop in 2008. The pair won a competition and watched flicks for five days straight, or 120 hours. Indian Ashish Sharma beat them by 23 minutes just weeks later.

text: Home > Lifestyle > Teen > News Updated 11 February 2013 Kindness the key to popularity Kids who are kind are happier and gain greater peer acceptance, says study. 0 Ask Teen Expert » Quiz Will the relationship last? » Test Push-ups » From girl to woman From boy to man Nine to twelve-year-olds who perform kind acts are not only happier, but also find greater acceptance in their peer groups, according to research published in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Kristin Layous and colleagues from the University of California, Riverside. The authors randomly assigned over 400 students aged 9-12 to two groups: one group performed 'acts of kindness' and the other kept track of pleasant places they visited each week. Examples of kind acts included descriptions like "gave someone some of my lunch" or "gave my mom a hug when she was stressed by her job", and places visited included the baseball diamond, shopping center or a grandparent's house. Kind children happier Children were asked to report on their levels of happiness after 4 weeks of activities, and the researchers found that children who performed kind acts were happier than the other group. To assess peer acceptance, students were given a list of classmates and asked to circle those they would like to work with for school activities. Here, the authors found that the group that had performed kind acts fared significantly better. Though both groups of children had an increased sense of well-being from the activities, only the group that performed kind acts experienced greater acceptance by their peers. According to the authors, "Increasing peer acceptance is a critical goal related to a variety of important academic and social outcomes, including reduced likelihood of being bullied." They suggest that teachers and others can use the findings of this study to introduce regular pro-social activities into classrooms for pre-teens. Layous adds, "The findings suggest that a simple and relatively brief prosocial activity can increase liking among classmates. Given the relationship between peer acceptance and many social and academic outcomes, we think these findings have important implications for the classroom."

I don't really see it that way - life is filled with things that I wish I had done differently, but that's different than regrets. Regrets are the things that keep you up at night wondering what might have been. I have very few of those. The way I look at it I am mostly happy with myself and I am the sum of the things that have happened in my life so why worry about what might have been. Anything that happened happened, anything that I am unhappy about now I can change.

Anyway a free philosophy lesson all so I could post this video of high schoolers doing high school stuff

Some how (personal idiocy) the wrong video got posted. Here is the one I meant to post:

It was kind of a weird juxtaposition. I had just finished the chapters of TRatGB that dealt with the economics of Silicon Valley start ups when I watched S3E2 of Silicon Valley

It was weird because the two thing fit so well together. Rushkoff was explaining the out of control valuations of companies like Uber, or previously Facebook, twitter, Snapchat, etc. and then Silicon Valley put it up on screen, albeit in a far more enjoyable fashion. Tobolowsky explaining the conjoined triangles of success is a classic and I can't be the only one who noticed that :

a) Engineering / Manufacturing and Sales / Growth are diametrically opposed.
b) Growth is the base of the entire thing.

What that tells me is that in the world of Silicon Valley (both real life and TV show) growth is everything. The product is an after thought. In fact at one point Tobolowsky (as Action Jack Barker) breaks the news to Richard (the former CEO, creative genius and now CTO) that the product isn't even really the "product" it's the stock and the hype surrounding it. Of course if you have ever worked in a start up (I have twice, three times if you count when they split us into business divisions and put us in "start up mode" which basically meant making horrible business decisions and refusing to sell product until the company shut us down.) none of this was surprise.

Immediately after Silicon Valley, Disrupted popped up in my Amazon suggestions. I had seen Lyons on TWiT (I think) a couple times and occasionally read his Fake Steve Jobs twitter feed so I took s shot on it. Immediately it seemed familiar. Of course it did. Lyons is one of the writers for Silicon Valley. The book dovetailed perfectly Rushkoff and the TV show and was extremely enjoyable, although I felt Lyons pain, The discussion of the CTOs business philosophies (i.e. delightion) has to strike a cord with anyone who has ever had to sit thru one of those bullshit corporate team building exercises. Not only that but Lyons nails the economics behind start up culture on the head and does it in a far more entertaining fashion, at points referring to various venture capitalists as braying jackasses (I think) and buffoons (I'm sure)..

In case you didn't pick up on it I am highly recommending Disrupted. My only real complaint was that he could have done more to explore the role of tech journalism in all this, but then again that would have made it a different book.

Speaking of different books - a Business book by Action Jack Barker would be hilarious.

Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, was a bunch of Picketty-ish nonsense for the most part but the bits about Silicon Valley were pretty good. I don't recommend it so much.

No it is on to Naked Money by Charles Whelan.

Wired - Flaws in Samsung's 'Smart' Home Let Hackers Unlock Doors and Set Off Fire Alarms -

The security research community has been loudly warning for years that the so-called Internet of Things—and particularly networked home appliances—would introduce a deluge of new hackable vulnerabilities into everyday objects. Now one group of researchers at the University of Michigan and Microsoft have published what they call the first in-depth security analysis of one such "smart home" platform that allows anyone to control their home appliances from light bulbs to locks with a PC or smartphone. They discovered they could pull off disturbing tricks over the internet, from triggering a smoke detector at will to planting a "backdoor" PIN code in a digital lock that offers silent access to your home, all of which they plan to present at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy later this month.
The simple rule is if it is connected to the internet it can be hacked. Plan your life accordingly.

Router Freak - Cisco ASA as DHCP Server with Multiple Internal LANs -

Not really anything anyone besides me cares about. Well me and the good people at router freak, but these are the kind of thing I used to deal with.

Tech Crunch - The tech elite are moving left this election cycle -

This election cycle, the tech elite are almost exclusively backing liberals: Tesla's Elon Musk donated to Hillary Clinton, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg gave handsomely to the San Francisco Democratic Party organization, and Microsoft's Bill Gates gave to three Democratic congressmen.

...

I think the more likely explanation is that the nation's new industrial titans are pro-government.

Google, Facebook, and most Internet titans are fueled by government projects: the Internet began in a defense department lab, public universities educate a skilled workforce and environmental policies benefit high tech green industries. The CEO of Uber, Travis Kalanick, is a fan of Obamacare, which helps his entrepreneurial drivers keep their health insurance as they transition between jobs.
 In other words, the Democratic party is good for emerging industries and billionaires recognize it. Donald Trump is a candidate known to go after major figures in tech; a trend that may further the Democrats friendship with new industrial titans.

Perhaps more importantly, I've argued that the modern emerging workforce of Silicon Valley, urbanized professionals, and "gig economy" laborers all represent an entirely new political demographic redefining the Democratic party to be more about education, research and entrepreneurship, and less about regulations and labor unions.

I am not sure why this is considered surprising. Silicon Valley has always been overwhelmingly Democrat. While there are some outlier donations to the GOP and the occassional crank who espouses Ayn Rand and Ron Paul as saviors of the American way of life I am 100% positive that the data would show that at least in my lifetime Democrats have dominated in that area. Jeez just look at who their congressperson is.

I'm not going to say much about it, at this point. Check with me again next week.

On the other hand - had a weird dream last night. I was back at Avocent doing something, not sure what but it wasn't working in test, because they wanted me back there, but every cool person I have ever worked with was there, as well as every girl I have ever dated, who all also seemed to work there. Weirdly it was all very pleasant because I am not the type of person who ends relationships well. So anyway there I am and they tell me I am going to be working back in the test department again and it's like a big party, and oh by the way the building is huge, like a giant office building but its just packed, and coincidentally(?) there is a huge barbecue going on. like we have to walk through a mile of parking lot to get to it but the ribs are super good, being smoked over and there is a ton of free beer. So i am sitting there with all these former girlfriends drinking beer and eating ribs and everyone is having a good time and telling me how great I am (which really clued me into the dream status) and then the damn alarm goes off.

So that's where my life sits at the moment.

One more thing - saw the trailer for the new Snowden movie holy crap it looks shitty

The job title is Information Security Analyst but the department I am working in is Systems Assurance. Basically we are supposed to evaluate the different systems and make sure they comply with the requirements of NIST 800-53 and ISO 27000 series. I was reading over some of the documentation which seems relatively straightforward.

The guy next to me has been there about 2 months and is already pretty jaded but by his telling he is an old time security pro, being a new time security amateur I think I can hold out for 3 months :-)

Seems like we will get to access a number of the SecOps guys tools. QRadar is the one I hadn't heard of. SolarWinds Network Monitor, which we evaluated at BPA nd decided we preferred Cisco Prime. A few others that we used at other jobs.

Have to wear slacks and a button down shirt ... yeech, but I guess you have to do what you have to do.

Okay, here we go...

Ars Technica - Active drive-by exploits critical Android bugs, care of Hacking Team -

The attack combines exploits for at least two critical vulnerabilities contained in Android versions 4.0 through 4.3, including an exploit known as Towelroot, which gives attackers unfettered "root" access to vulnerable phones. The exploit code appears to borrow heavily from, if not copy outright, some of these Android attack scripts, which leaked to the world following the embarrassing breach of Italy-based Hacking Team in July. Additional data indicates devices running Android 4.4 may also be infected, possibly by exploiting a different set of vulnerabilities.

It's the first time—or at least one of only a handful of times—Android vulnerabilities have been exploited in real-world drive-by attacks. For years, most Android malware has spread by social engineering campaigns that trick a user into installing a malicious app posing as something useful and benign. The drive-by attack—which has been active for at least the past 60 days and was discovered by security firm Blue Coat Systems—is notable because it's completely stealthy and requires no user interaction on the part of the end user.
The Verge - The US is dropping 'cyberbombs' on ISIS -

The US has begun launching cyberattacks against ISIS, The New York Times reports, marking a significant shift in its battle against the terrorist organization. According to the Times, the US Cyber Command has been tasked with carrying out the campaign, which aims to disrupt ISIS' communications, recruitment, and financial operations. American officials are also hopeful that their open discussion of the cyber campaign will force ISIS operatives to doubt the security of their communications.
This is going to escalate quickly- and not in a way we are going to like.

Dark Reading - How Best To Back Up Your Data In Case Of A Ransomware Attack -

 There's no protection from ransomware without backup. The first question a security pro will ask you when you report a ransomware attack is whether you have any backups. In many instances, simply by having a backup copy, you can then erase the drive, reinstall the operating system, restore the backup copy, and then start fresh. So remember: no backup, no protection from ransomware.
Backups are just a generally accepted part of a disaster recovery or business continuity plan and everyone should be doing them but the plan presented here has some flaws. 1. It's too complicated for home users. Most Home users don't understand things like realtime backups and weekly incrementals or taking snapshots during upgrades. Those recommendations don't really do them much good. 2. It's unrealistic for businesses. I can't think of a single organization that just automatically accepts patches from any vendor. Especially one where data availability is a key concern. Too many things can and do break. Now if what they mean is that once you have approved a patch it should be pushed out to the endpoints automatically then yes I agree, but to my knowledge that is a pretty common practice already.

That's it for today. If I actually had any readers I would apologize for such a crappy post after such a long absence, but I don't so I won't.

Microsoft, after failing to build a smartphone hub to rival Google or Apple, is trying to change the conversation.

...

After the Nokia debacle, which included a $7.6 billion write-down and thousands of layoffs, yet another corporate reboot is under way.

"They've conceded that they've lost the battle for smartphone-operating systems," said Ed Maguire, who tracks the company at CLSA, a brokerage firm. "After fighting that war for so many years, and watching Nokia go down in flames, nobody would take them seriously if they tried to promote Windows Phone at this point."
source

 OK, I am going to say this flat out - First off Fuck Ed Maguire, people like him are a major part of the problem in the tech world today, instead of looking at the promise of a platform they just try and tear it down to maintain the incumbents. Second, Fuck Satya Nadella or whatever the hell his name is. People complained about Balmers lack of vision but this guy is far, far, worse. No ability to see the promise of the Windows Phone / Windows 10 platform and so he just randomly kills stuff.

I have worked with, as in actually worked with, and used as a consumer, all three major platforms. In my opinion Windows Phone is by far the superior platform. The UI is intuitive. The models I used were far more responsive that iPhone and Android phones. The apps that existed were more responsive and more intuitive to use. The problem was people wouldn't develop apps for the damn phones. Part of it was snobbery, I once heard a TWiT host say she wouldn't develop apps for Windows Phone because she didn't like Microsoft's walled garden approach, but she had no problem developing apps for iPhone. Part of it was lack of effort on Microsoft's part. They never really seemed to try and attract app developers. (Again a big FU to Nadella).

If it was me and I was trying to capture marketshare for my new smartphone platform I would have made it attractive to develop for the phone.

1. I would have rented open space in Seattle and SF / Silicon Valley. It would have been set up as a drop in work space. Just big tables where people can come in a plug in and work on their apps with a few meeting rooms that could be reserved for development meetings. lots of white board space. then I would have hired a couple people to manage each space.

1a. In addition to providing space to work these spaces would have offered free seminars on how to develop for Windows Phone.

1b. The staff would be available to offer advice / technical help and to spot good apps with market potential.

2. Once a quarter I would have held a disrupt like event where people could bring their apps and compete against each other. maybe quarters 1 and 3 would be in Seattle and 2 and 4 in SF. The winners would be offered a chance to move to an in house incubator up in Redmond.

2a. MSFT would act as the venture capitalist for the winners of these contests or for a selected group of people pulled out by the staff at the drop in sites.

2b. In return for acting as the VC MSFT would of course get a certain ownership stake, but part of the deal would be that development for Windows Phone had to take primacy.

3. Windows phone has great product placement in TV and movies but it has been at least two years since I have seen a commercial and no one ever mentions it by name in these shows. Hell it is even featured prominently in a Katy Perry video but no attempts to tie in -

The phone is at 1:57.

So why reboot? It isn't going to make a difference because MSFT isn't going to learn anything from this experience and the nextt version is going to flounder and idiots like Ed Maguire will continue downplaying the platform (as will Leo LaPorte and his TWiT friends and every other tech journalist for that matter)

At this point it's a waste. Microsoft either needs to go all in or just get out of the market entirely and stick with Windows, Office, and XBox.

1. My niece Maya won a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music.

Berklee College of Music, located in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, is the largest independent college of contemporary music in the world. Known primarily as the world's foremost institute for the study of jazz and modern American music,[5] it also offers college-level courses in a wide range of contemporary and historic styles, including rock, flamenco, hip hop, reggae, salsa, and bluegrass.[6] As of 2016, Berklee alumni have been awarded a total of 266 Grammy Awards.[7]
There was a nice little write-up in the Seattle Times

Chris explains it here. Basically expendable characters generated quickly and run thru random encounters until they level or die. That's the campaign we are playing now. All the stuff I hate, no back story, no world building, dungeon crawls and a fantasy environment (my least favorite role playing environment). I'm sure I am driving Chris (The DM) and the other players nuts with my complaining, but that's what they get for not fully embracing the cyberpunk world.

Anyway since we are doing this I started thinking why stop there why not really make it random. So I have invented Super-Dogma (tm).

Here's how it would work.

1. You roll you stats (4d6 take the best 3)
2. You send them to the DM along with you top 3 choices of class and race.
3. The DM decides your class and race but doesn't tell you.
4. All rolls are made by the DM in secret until you have successfully figured out your class.
5. The party starts in a locked room naked with no equipment. As you go you have to figure out from trial and error and DM hints what your class and race are. You get XP for combat, gold, and successful class actions./ making progress towards figuring out your class. You lose XP for blindly guessing your class. Negative XP like negative Hit Points results in death, or being made into a sex slave by a depraved orc drag queen with awful fashion sense and a horrible singing voice and a need to belt out show tunes, and the hits of Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Cher.

Usually it probably wont be much of a stretch to figure out your class but say you have someone with a str of 12 and int of 12. Well there are a couple ways that can go and it might be a little tricky to figure out.

On Sundays Ace of Spades HQ ( @aceofspadeshq ) has a book thread, I always think I should do something similar but I always forget. I have my currently reading list but those are all long term projects... Anyway picked up a couple books and they both seem topical to today's world so I am just throwing them out there:

Rise and Fall of American Growth - Heard the author on the Freakanomics podcast. His ideas seemed interesting and I wished to subscribe to his news letter, instead I was at the mall and saw the book so I bought it.

In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, home appliances, motor vehicles, air travel, air conditioning, and television transformed households and workplaces. With medical advances, life expectancy between 1870 and 1970 grew from forty-five to seventy-two years. Weaving together a vivid narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise and Fall of American Growth provides an in-depth account of this momentous era. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end?

Gordon challenges the view that economic growth can or will continue unabated, and he demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 can't be repeated. He contends that the nation's productivity growth, which has already slowed to a crawl, will be further held back by the vexing headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government. Gordon warns that the younger generation may be the first in American history that fails to exceed their parents' standard of living, and that rather than depend on the great advances of the past, we must find new solutions to overcome the challenges facing us.

A critical voice in the debates over economic stagnation, The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come.

I know most conservatives will dismiss this immediately upon seeing the words "rising inequality" but there is something to the idea that as capital flows out of the middle class, there is less there to support and expand it. That doesn't mean I am going full on Picketty but maybe we need to reevaluate, as a society how we value certain contributions.

Foundations of Modern Networking - What can I say I am a moron so I have to study to try and stay somewhat current in my field. By the time I finish this book I will only be 7 years behind the curve.

Foundations of Modern Networking is a comprehensive, unified survey of modern networking technology and applications for today's professionals, managers, and students. Dr. William Stallings offers clear and well-organized coverage of five key technologies that are transforming networks: Software-Defined Networks (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Quality of Experience (QoE), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloudbased services. Dr. Stallings reviews current network ecosystems and the challenges they face–from Big Data and mobility to security and complexity. Next, he offers complete, self-contained coverage of each new set of technologies: how they work, how they are architected, and how they can be applied to solve real problems. Dr. Stallings presents a chapter-length analysis of emerging security issues in modern networks. He concludes with an up-to date discussion of networking careers, including important recent changes in roles and skill requirements.

So there you have it my knock off book thread. Not anywhere near as interesting as the one over at AoSHQ but it's free so shut up and like it.

...

The campaign underscores the vital role that smart browsing plays in staying secure online. One of the most important things users can do is to decrease what researchers refer to as their "attack surface." That means uninstalling things like Adobe Flash, Oracle Java, Microsoft Silverlight, and other third-party browser extensions unless absolutely required. The other crucial ingredient in safe browsing is installing updates as soon as they become available and using the 64-bit version of Chrome for browsing when possible. Windows users would also do well to install Windows 10 and use Microsoft's Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit.

Good recommendation, unfortunately much harder to do than it appears for most people. Also Malwarebytes (which I now run almost daily has and anti-ransomware beta)

USA Today - Anonymous declares war on Donald Trump -

In a video released on YouTube, a hooded figure wearing a Guy Fawkes mask says that Trump "has not only shocked the USA, you have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideas."

Too little too late unfortunately.

Spike Lee - An Essential List of Films for Filmmakers -

In the spirit of my comment on Chris's Old School Resistance post I would suggest that many of these could also serve as a story telling guide for GMs. Or just story tellers in general. I can't tell you how many times anymore I pick up a book and the character is so one dimensional it's painful. Couple that with a story that has zero though other than "mmmm, hero good" and it gets discouraging pretty quickly. (Before you, the voices in my head and occasional imaginary friends, ask no I haven't seen all 95 but I have probably 60 of these films).

Baptiste's breach of contract lawsuit, filed last week in San Mateo County District Court in California, accused Goguen of "sexually, physically and emotionally" abusing her. She alleged that she endured the treatment because Goguen promised to free her from the human traffickers holding her in perpetual debt. The contract, according to Baptiste's lawsuit, was intended to compensate her for the years of abuse.
Goguen denies the claims and instead claims he is actually being extorted, although it's hard to see how if he willingly signed the contract so he could keep having sex with the woman, and in particular to avoid her suing like this. What's even more interesting is this is one of the guys making the decisions that shape our future by deciding what new companies get funded and what one's don't. Makes you question his business sense doesn't it? That is if a $40,000,000,000.00 valuation for Uber didn't already make you question every VC in Silicon Valley's sense to begin with.

TechCrunch has more -

In Baptiste's complaint, she is described as a "victim of human trafficking since she was 15." It says that she was "brought to America in 2001," "sold as a dancer to a strip club," and that shortly after her arrival, she met Goguen at a Texas strip club and was soon submitting to his "constant sexual abuse" and "relying on his promise that he would help her break free of the human traffickers who held her in perpetual debt."

Continues the complaint, "Unbeknownst to Ms. Baptiste, Mr. Goguen was a worse predator than the human traffickers who were keeping her in bondage."
When you are being described as a worse predator than the human trafficker who kidnapped someone, sold them into sex slavery, and held them in debt peonage I guess people can say that you are really at the top of your scumbag game. (To be fair the allegations are unproven, I just offer that as a general life rule and goalpost for those trying to measure their level of depravity)

and

In his countersuit, Goguen's legal team paints a picture of a woman in love with him, and features a long list of text and email messages from Baptiste to underscore that depiction.

Among them: "The love that I hold in my heart for you was instant. It is a perfect love. And to me it is the perfect way to love someone. It is forever and unconditional;" "I love our visits. I feel so blessed to have met you and have been able to maintain a special relationship with you. I can only hope that it continues;" "I know it feels really good when we are together and to me it feels so perfect and I never want to let go of you;" and "I miss you so Much [sic]. My Body Misses you so Much. I love you so Much."

The counter-complaint also features pictures that Baptiste, born in 1980, had allegedly sent to Goguen of herself dressed in lacy lingerie.

Now I admit that doesn't like someone being mentally, and physically abused, unless being forced to write such things is part of the abuse. I mean it almost makes Goguen seem positively saint-like and a progressive sex-positive member of the Silicon Valley community and he agreed to this contract to protect his wife (wives, since this was going on across multiple marriages) and children from being exposed to the gory details.

Just another day in Silicon Valley I guess.

This is one of those areas where procrastination kills. I have been working with this stuff for years but the problem is that when you start out you're constantly reading and exploring trying to find the best way to do stuff. As time goes on you start settling into routines and the way you do something may not be the way Cisco or VMware wants you to do it.

Bad habits kill you on exams - so basically then you go back and relearn all this stuff again and realize how bad your habits have become so you start updating documentation at work and going back and "improving" stuff you already have in place and the you are down the rabbit hole again. It becomes one of them there sissyphean tasks. You keep pushing the rock up hill and end up right down a the bottom again.

The only way to break the cycle is to just say no, Make a list of stuff to fix. Do it all at once instead of piecemeal and then immediately move back to studying.

also don't get distracted by stupid Charli XCX videos on youtube when you are watching something on how to properly wildcard mask your Access Control Lists

or watching stupid gun porn videos

When will people learn that if you want to protect sensitive information allowing USB keys to be used is a losing proposition?

The documents held by the German authorities seem to have been collected at the end of 2013. Even the lowest estimate of the numbers that crossed the border in that period indicates the sheer scale of volunteers to Isis. The documents will be useful to intelligence agencies in confirming names and details of people suspected of joining Isis. However, it was reported that there are names not previously known to the intelligence services.
more

The files were passed to Sky News on a memory stick stolen from the head of Islamic State's internal security police, an organisation described by insiders as the group's SS.

He had been entrusted to protect the organisation's core secrets and he rarely parted with the drive.

Classic case of an insider threat, and yes if he hadn't had the USB key he still could have gotten the information out somehow, but it would have been much more difficult. USB keys make classified information extremely portable and therefore on any sensitive system should be disabled / alarmed / monitored.

Note: Yes, I really equated this guy with Snowden, they both walked off with their info in the same stupid way. However, for the record I am glad ISIS learned nothing from the NSA debacle and this guy was able to leave with the info. I will be even more glad when jihadis start disappearing from this realm of existence.

The collapse of this postwar economy came from the overreach of its new corporate form—the conglomerate—whose rise was legitimated by the belief in managerial planning. But its essential moral underpinnings—stability for investment and, especially, stability for work—took more of an effort to dislodge. Yet in the 1970s and 1980s, this effort succeeded as corporations began to embrace risk and markets, undoing the stability of the postwar period. By the 1980s, the risk-taking entrepreneur had displaced the safe company man as the ideal employee.

Today, scholars and critics are all abuzz about "precarious" work. Instead of a job for life with General Motors or AT&T, we now have many jobs either in sequence or, increasingly, all at once. Freelancers in the US labor force are estimated to number around fifty-four million, as much as one-third of the work force.6 "Precarious" has become a catchall term that encompasses everything from day labor to temp work to the gig economy, and denotes flexible work that is insecure, temporary, and generally poorly paid. If the worker in this flexible economy is something new, so too is the firm, which, instead of hiring employees, increasingly outsources its labor needs.
The article is dense but interesting, examining the rise of outsourcing and leading into the rise of the "gig economy". I read it last night / early this morning and I know I didn't get everything in it so I will need to read it again.

Dark Reading - Why Marrying Infosec & Info Governance Boosts Security Capabilities -

When I say data-centric security, I'm not really talking about the traditional role of Data Loss Prevention (DLP), which in the past has attempted to block commandeering of sensitive data. History teaches us that the perimeter is no match for today's cybercriminals. Hackers shouldn't be holding our crown jewels with only perimeter technologies standing between them and victory. Data-centric security begins far earlier and involves knowing where our sensitive data is supposed to be, versus where it is now.
In general this makes snese to me, but such a plan will break a few rice bowls (and seriously impact the "cool" factor associated with some jobs) so look for some resistance.

IEEE Spectrum - Quantum Computer Comes Closer to Cracking RSA Encryption -

Now computer scientists at MIT and the University of Innsbruck say they've assembled the first five quantum bits (qubits) of a quantum computer that could someday factor any number, and thereby crack the security of traditional encryption schemes.

...

Chuang and his collaborators found that the five-atom quantum computer successfully calculated the factors of 15. Previously, experts thought such a calculation would require at least 12 qubits to complete. Chuang says the five-ion model can be scaled up to factor much bigger numbers as long as the ion trap can hold its qubits in place. The team published its results in this week's issue of Science.
I was trying to make the point this weekend to someone on This Week in Tech and in their chat room that this type of research is moving fast, and that encryption as it currently exists will not be the security panacea that many people believe it is.

Background: Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP), a method recently developed to generate cell type–specific translational profiles, relies on creating transgenic lines of animals in which a tagged ribosomal protein is placed under regulatory control of a cell type–specific promoter. An antibody is then used to affinity purify the tagged ribosomes so that cell type–specific mRNAs can be isolated from whole tissue lysates. Results: Here, cell type–specific transgenic lines were generated to enable TRAP studies for retinal ganglion cells and rod photoreceptors in the Xenopus laevis retina. Using real time quantitative PCR for assessing expression levels of cell type–specific mRNAs, the TRAP method was shown to selectively isolate mRNAs expressed in the targeted cell and was efficient at purifying mRNAs expressed at both high and low levels. Statistical measures used to distinguish cell type–specific RNAs from low level background and non-specific RNAs showed TRAP to be highly effective in Xenopus. Conclusions: TRAP can be used to purify mRNAs expressed in rod photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells in X. laevis. The generated transgenic lines will enable numerous studies into the development, disease, and injury of the X. laevis retina. Developmental Dynamics, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
