Google it? It’s here. It’s you.

I’m not a reporter or a news media outlet, that was your repeated claim that I refuted.

Yes, exactly. I wish you could hear yourself.

Have you lost track of the discussion already?

This is the first time you’re bringing any of this up here in this thread with me. “The meat of the argument?” You have got to be joking.

Not my argument, the article’s. That you dismissed as sexist because of one word you didn’t like.

I’ve already got enough homework to keep me busy thanks

Stay in school!

And neither should the tech / biz media, or the chattering commentariat.

Something you keep insisting is true, and despite responding with long comments, you don’t have the time to Google any evidence of.

When was the last time you got so worked up about Altman’s work-life balance? About Zuckerberg’s parenting choices? Is anyone terribly worried that Sundar Pichai isn’t feminist enough?

I have yet to run into someone defending them as a good parents with that lack of balance as evidence… When you make that comment I’ll make the same argument again.

Everyone is supposed to know what that is?

It’s why they need SpaceX…

They don’t have funding, their rocket program has been discontinued, the amazing reusable shuttle has been retired, and it’s all been done on purpose to make them dependent on the “private industry”.

Obviously if they have the right budget, they won’t need anyone. That’s the point.

I’ve never considered her or put her under any kind of lense, I didn’t know who she was or her story until I stumbled across this post. I don’t care about CEOs in general and couldn’t name any except the openly evil ones.

Nice deflection though. I’m only engaging because your rhetoric frustrated me, when someone goes out of their way to accuse someone of being sexist and start bending logic to defend a woman’s actions not by their merits but for the mere fact that they were performed by a woman, it stands out as sexist.

You’re overcompensating. Was the girl boss comment unnecessary? Possibly, I don’t know if she ever referred to herself as “girl boss” explicitly… It’s irrelevant though, because the meat of the argument is that she literally said “Women, this is my own bias, tend to take more photos and are more visual, and so being able to work with A.I. in a visual medium is fun”.

She was being sexist, and you ignored that and flipped the table and was outraged that the author called her girl boss.

Not only is she suggesting we offload our emotional load to AI, she’s pitching that as a woman empowering move. You should not be defending her, quite the opposite.

I tried to look at old articles to see the sexism you claimed was displayed, which is how I discovered that she was 6 months pregnant when she took the job, but I couldn’t find any. Please correct me and cite some.

What I found is opinion pieces that referenced sexist discourse online and the stock market reaction to her. No shit people are sexist and would have been sexiest in their rhetoric, but that’s not what you claimed, you claimed every headline you could see criticized her for existing as a woman.

You don’t have to defend every woman just because they are women, that’s as sexist as degrading them for the same reason.

At best, she’s a victim of a sexist world who accepted perpetuating the sexist status quo for the sake of her kids, and at worst she’s a terrible parent, but nothing about her story makes her a feminist champion.

The first woman to vote wasn’t a hero, the women who fought for suffrage rights were. The first woman CEO isn’t a hero, she’s just a CEO who happens to be a woman, and she didn’t use her position to set a better precedent for women.

I was reacting to your wild conclusion.

“Choosing” your career over time with your newborn despite having the means to do so it’s not “feminism” or “woman empowerment”, it’s capitalism and shitty parenting. I didn’t like that you are conflating them.

At best I could accept the argument that she calculated the wealthy she could accumulate will serve her children long term better than spending time parenting them and leaving them with financial instability… But then that’s not a choice, that’s a difficult position forced on her but capitalism.

The idea that she “chose” to work through the two weeks and then return back to full time work and that choice being empowering is ridiculous. The idea that pointing that out is the equivalent of saying women can’t be CEOs is sexist.

I took less than 2 weeks of paternity leave, but I would never suggest I chose that. I chose not to lose my job and keep a roof over my newborn’s head, but that wasn’t much of a choice.

This is tantamount to saying: a CEO mom is impossible.

Uhhh… No, it is not.

Yahoo offers a generous 16 week maternity leave, and she took 2 and worked from home during. She said it wasn’t part of the consideration of giving her the job when she was six months pregnant, do you honestly believe that?

Do you honestly believe her offering to take only 2 weeks “leave” while working was a feminist or woman empowering decision? Not a compromise to land the job that wouldn’t have been offered if she wanted to take time to be with her child instead?

You and her are the ones perpetuating “CEO mom is impossible”, unless they take barely any time off to be a mom and still work remotely while being “off”.

I believe a mom can be CEO AND take the full maternity leave while knowing how to delegate and have minimal need to check-in for those 16 weeks. You believe she has to act like she didn’t just have a baby and return to work as soon as humanly possible in order to be a CEO.

My organization is slowly switching away from all Microsoft and other SaaS software, there’s never been a better time to switch to open source, ever.

The only reason it’s taking long is because we are a small team and don’t have the capacity to handle that project full time, so it comes one small incremental step at a time.

A government has the resources to employ the right talent to get the job done, it’s either incompetence or interference.

Edit:

A pilot phase with 38 ministry employees kicked off last year to trial Collabora’s suite with Office documents. However, this trial was terminated when elections took place earlier this year. A spokesperson confirmed that the experiment had concluded, and would not resume again. They also confirmed that no evaluation benchmarking Collabora’s performance against Microsoft Office had taken place either.

It was interference.

They’ve spent years banning Palestinian reporters in Gaza and deleting genocide evidence… This isn’t a test, they already know they can get away with it.

He learned to do it more… This solved a problem that several Linux engineers and Linus himself have been struggling to solve for over 2 years, and the race condition was discovered in code review and fixed by a suggestion from Linus…

So without AI, we’d still have no solution to this problem that’s been unsolved for over 2 years, with AI we have a solution that went through code review which identified a small bug that was then fixed. He still landed a solution to the problem that wouldn’t have landed otherwise…

And what has AI introduced into the Linux kernel that poses a risk to any nation depending on it?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I also think drive encryption with TPM would require that the drive be decrypted while in use. This device wouldn’t be of any value if it weren’t in use, so there’s also that.

Effectively, yes, but that’s misleading. Self encrypting drives talk directly to the tpm and encrypt/decrypt on the fly with each read/write. It isn’t decrypting the whole drive when you boot, it just unlocks the key.

If it’s powered on and running normally, then yes they can potentially gain access by infiltrating the OS layer, and then the drive just willingly decrypts anything they want to read on the fly. As soon as they power off (or it crashes or receives a remote reboot command, etc), they are locked out. Unless of course they can break the TPM, but that’s going into conjecture territory.

The main scenario where a SED is better than something like bitlocker is the fact that the OS never knows about the key. Say they grabbed the device while it’s running and were able to compromise the OS, now they have access to the drive data as long as it keeps running, but as soon as it shuts down the drive cannot be decrypted without unlocking the key at boot again. With bitlocker, they can read the key from the protected OS memory and decrypt the drive whenever/wherever.

If running an espionage campaign against a trillion dollar company with Uncle Sam in the back pocket, I’d confidently bet against this system

I would use all the tools available to me, and wouldn’t count on one single solution, it’s one of many layers of protection you can use.

Point is, it isn’t a pointless technology, there are lots of use cases.

I’m imagining something that perhaps micro-batches audio through a raw_audio - encrypt -> storage process, but say every 15 seconds or so. Then transport the encrypted data to a device with decryption keys.

Sure… Now imagine having setup this system where everything you record is encrypted and sent to a remote location. When they access the drive, which only has encrypted recording data, it’s useless, but they can see your script that’s sending it to your remote location, and potentially track you down that way. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that encrypted at rest too, even if it’s not 100% foolproof?

You originally asked what the point is of a self encrypting device. Even assuming this particular device in question has the attack vector you pointed out (I don’t know, I haven’t checked), it isn’t pointless.

Your attack vector assumes the key is in memory. That would be a very odd and weird design that I’ve never seen… The auth key is usually stored on cryptographically secure hardware (a tpm), you unlock it at boot and it talks to the drive, the OS doesn’t know about it or see it.

There’s technically an attack vector there, an unproven one that assumes they have a backdoor or an undisclosed flaw at the hardware level… so sure, if you really really don’t want to risk it, encrypt your data yourself.

There are a lot of reasons to choose these devices:

1. Performance
2. Nothing to configure os side, you just write to it and it’s encrypted. Power loss means it cannot be decrypted by a malicious actor.
3. Disposal. You can often issue a single command that scrambles the auth key and now all the data is unrecoverable without you needing to write every byte.

Do you have a reason to believe what I said is unbelievable?

It’s their own numbers…

It isn’t profitable at current pricing, and it will have lower adoption at higher pricing.

The technology isn’t going anywhere, when the bubble pops and hardware prices come down, local open weight models will be sufficient and the hardware to run them will be cheaper than cloud models.

In the short term, however, it’ll be a shit show.

Google has historically done a lot of good things. Today they simply do evil, but pushing for RCS adoption when telcos refused to is one of those good things they did.

You can still hate Google and want them to disappear, I do, but that doesn’t mean you automatically hate everything ever touched by them. Their motivation may have been strictly to compete with Apple, but e2ee messages are a net positive if you must use it. Use signal and matrix when you can, use RCS when you must.

There’s a huge difference between someone using agentic ai to solve real problems quickly and someone asking a chatbot for life advice. A lot of people are asking llms for life advice, and don’t get me wrong it’s a great research tool IF you already posses critical thinking skills and know when to question it, but schools are introducing generative ai to middle schoolers before they even gain any critical thinking skills.

I have a security.txt with an email to report vulnerabilities and a public key to encrypt sensitive information. The only reports I ever got were on the contract us form, unencrypted.
