    I don't understand when bugfinders say that without them security would be horrible now. As if it isn't anyway. If we had way more compromises like they predict, don't you think we would fix the software? I think security would already be *more* secure if we didn't have them.

    Blast from the past. Be wary of sweeping forecasts on contested issues—especially from high-IQ, high-prestige sources from your own ideological tribe,

    It's all about the approach. Ignoring powerful attacker network effects increases risk for all of us.

    Ignorance of insecurity does not get you security. We need to examine voting machines, SCADA systems, IOT and other important items in our lives. The investigation of these devices by the hacker community is a service, not a threat.

    Using prediction markets we found that researchers were very accurate in predicting which studies would replicate and which would not. (blue=successful replications; yellow=failed replications; x-axis=market closing price)

    Google is routinely irresponsible in this area. What makes it truly remarkable is that they must know they are increasing risk

    Replying to @TimSweeneyEpic @manfightdragon and 3 others
    I grant that Google finding a flaw in our software and sourcing stories about the fact of it is a valid PR strategy. But why the rapid public release of technical details? That does nothing but give hackers a chance to target unpatched users.

    Cynics say “blurbs are just friends helping friends sell books.” But I stand by every word. Jon Haidt & Greg Lukianoff are channeling the spirit of John Stuart Mill into the early 21st century. And, boy/girl/…, do we need it!

    There is too much herding around the conventional wisdom but most contrarians are wrong. The best forecasters somehow threat this needle

    Advocates of quantified risk estimates can really be their own worst enemies when they propose highly complex approaches (even though they are probably right). Better to identify steps in the right direction.

    It is remarkable how many times in life the best answer is "a little bit of both."

    Solving a problem in a group leads you to more good ideas but fewer great ideas. The opposite is true if you solve it alone. The best of both worlds is intermittent collaboration: alternating between independent and group work. :
