It’s like the difference between a rocket and a picture of a rocket.

I feel like Tait’s rocket actually will achieve orbit, unlike a picture of a rocket; you’re just worried that it will sometimes explode. I don’t think that’s the best analogy.

I fully agree that Tait can make a rocket that blows up. So can I.

(The “so can I” was supposed to be self deprecating. But also, seriously, no way would I trust myself to do this.)

Tait teaches law students enough computer security to understand how different types of exploits work. He used to work for GCHQ. Would we be comfortable with Charlie Miller on the stand? He used to work for NSA and explains vulns to journalists.

Tait seems to have positioned himself as a technical national security expert, and not as A Person Who Got A Job Teaching And Has Opinions Online. I do not understand why or how this is the case.

I think Thomas would be comfortable with Charlie.

I would like to add to this thread one thing: do not underestimate the arbitrariness by which people get called on to testify at Senate hearings. A careful, anaconda-like law enforcement agenda on encryption would be much better than the reality, which is most likely rule of derp

I think it’s good to avoid being a knowing instrument of derp and derp theatre. Which is what today was.

I'd be interested to know what you would have said in that context (I'm still working on an interminable article on this) that you feel was misleading or elided in the written statements or testimony. I realize that's a make-work tweet so please feel free to ignore
