The elite think they have a lot of power in "law enforcement", but when law enforcement is faced with "all the people", they often just switch side, since they are also "just people".

Example; In Illinois there were just a gun control bill signed into law. Majority of the Sheriffs in the State just went; "We ain't gonna enforce that", because I think they know that there will be violent resistance to it, by potentially million people.

3. Laws & Regulation; Even if I don't interact with any other people, far out in the woods, all the laws and regulation still applies to me. Building codes, sewage systems, licenses for growing food, and so on.

I don't know what it takes for people to wake up. But I think it is only a matter of time. And the events in Eastern Europe in late 1980s, leading up to German reunification and the fall of USSR.

Yes. The "social contract" doesn't need our approval/signature, because there is no way to "exit".

1. Passports; We "belong" to a country, and not allowed to reside in any other place than that country's geographic monopoly.

2. Taxes; Even if one is totally self sufficient in food and shelter, one has to pay property taxes. That means one need to interact with the rest of society, hence not self-sufficient.

What library or framework do you consider a "hidden gem"? That is, it's underappreciated compared to how valuable it is.

For less popular languages, popular packages for that language are welcome if they're a potential "killer app" for the language, that could attract people to use the language.

Looks like the website and databases of ODIN Intelligence (law enforcement & police tech company) were hacked and defaced.

NASA’s Retired Compton Mission Reveals Superheavy Neutron Stars

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/nasa-s-retired-compton-mission-reveals-superheavy-neutron-stars

"Astronomers studying archival observations of powerful explosions called short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have detected light patterns indicating the brief existence of a superheavy neutron star shortly before it collapsed into a black hole. This fleeting, massive object likely formed from the collision of two neutron stars."

I wanted to take a few moments and apologize to many of my former students.

In the past I said the industry needs people who look at security as a vocation and an avocation.

I was wrong.

Have a life outside of this industry.

Have hobbies that have nothing to do with your computer.

Get outside.

The problems of the industry are not problems of people not working hard enough.

They are not problems of people not being "hard core" enough.

They are problems of education and resource prioritization.

I was wrong.

I am sorry.

Stop breaking yourself on rocks for people who don't really care if you break yourself on rocks.

Today I learned of the existence of the "pizza donut".

The concept of the "majority" is particularly troubling. By always accepting the will of the majority, democracy allows for majorities to have an absolute tyranny over everyone else.
