I will be at #atlseccon presenting "Do You Want to Play a Game? How About Disabling Civilization?" with @3ncr1pt3d.bsky.social!

Our talk is about risks in our Internet-is-required world & the critical infrastructure we rely on. Learn how easily it can all be broken & some mitigation strategies.

Enjoying the final @shmoocon.bsky.social and seeing many of my people. I don’t have everyone’s bsky handles yet.

Net neutrality is struck, ending a long battle to regulate ISPs like public utilities A U.S. Court of Appeals this week ruled that the FCC did not have legal authority to revive the so-called net neutrality rules that were first introduced a decade ago under the Obama Administration.

I've yet to find a mainstream story on the net neutrality ruling that mentions U.S. broadband is a failed market dominated by entrenched regional monopolies pampered by corrupt state and local governments

it's like that essential part of the story isn't of interest to them

Having a great time at Hackfest with @3ncr1pt3d.bsky.social. I presented my VPN talk today. Slides here:

I’m enjoying being at Hackfest in Quebec City.

I saw @j0hnnyxm4s.bsky.social! And other nice folks.

I’m giving my VPN talk at 2:30pm today. @3ncr1pt3d.bsky.social is giving a talk about LastPass tomorrow.

The person who named their Wi-Fi network “New England Clam Router” gets a thumbs up today.

Vivek Ramaswamy says he'll deport children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S. Those children, however, are American citizens under the 14th Amendment.

Once again, these sorts of things should immediately end all media coverage of this person as a viable presidential candidate. And yet, here we are, because

Neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party

Oreskes and Conway agree. They point out that when Stigler produced an abridged “Wealth of Nations,” in the nineteen-fifties, he omitted most of the passages in which Smith advocates the regulation of industries where the unchecked pursuit of self-interest can cause social harm. Banking was one of them. What Oreskes and Conway call the “Americanization” of Adam Smith reduced him to the trope of the invisible hand.

Stigler called “The Wealth of Nations” a “stupendous palace erected upon the granite of self-interest.” But Smith did not think that markets are always self-regulating, and he did not think that people are always self-interested. The very first sentence of his other major work, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments,” reads, “How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.” (Becker might have called this a “shadow price.” There are certain things that make people feel better or worse about themselves, and those feelings get priced into the good or service they are buying. For a free-market economist, the price is always right.)

The real invisible hand? That of Chicago School economists editing out the bits of Adam Smith they did not like www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

It’s important to understand that this is the way all capitalists think about all the “little people” they exploit; this one is just saying it with no filter, which happens every now and then with people who have become accustomed to thinking of their fellow human beings as food.

When it was good, it was really really good for certain things. I’m not sure I have the patience to rebuild the network.

31 years ago this extraordinary woman burned her career and life to the ground to speak out against a horrific, massive crime against children. And she was a hell of an artist. A blazing soul. RIP

This last year (post-Covid) my brain has not been working the best. Felt like a lot of “fog of war” happening — limited task/project visibility beyond what was immediately in front of me, usually. Got a recent ADHD diagnosis & meds & now I can sometimes see through the fog.

So that is something.
