The thing about dark matter/dark energy is they feel wrong like a lazy answer, but the intuitive reasons you as a layperson come up with why they're wrong, turn out to not be it. They checked it's not the reason. Which is even more frustrating!

The public has no idea asymmetric cryptography is _physically possible_. Their understanding of smartphone app capabilities is based on general-purpose operating systems without sandboxes. Important to keep this in mind.

The problem with facing teens as a Defender is they haven't yet conceded to continually lose at life by restricting their gambits to within the bounds of failure money has decided have solutions. They seek only results and that is why they are dangerous.

The law means I can't tweet the name, but there is a definite Twitter whispering campaign attempting to link one of the British teens alleged to be part of Lapsus$ with the most recent Uber and Rockstar / GTA6 hacks.

And it turns out there's locations where you can buy service from two or three providers, but somewhere along they all end up on poles along a random road with copper thieves who don't care about the integrity nor worthlessness of your glass next to the other cables.

"Why would someone write Reddit fiction anonymously." Why do people write Wikipedia. Why do people contribute to tech support forums. Why post on 4chan (which is also mostly engineered bait posts). Because being a social creature is a disease, and the salve is exhibition.

I try to write amateur flash fiction. And when I read a lot of these breakout Reddit posts, my alarm bells go off. These are not normal random people writing this shit. It's often well-composed and full of great hooks. This shit is a cabal open your eyes sheeple.

Thesis: ➡️Many books are written by ghostwriters because writing a book is a unique skill and not just a product of literacy. ➡️Most Reddit posts are written by a small group of people, because being compelling in short-form writing is a skill and not a product of literacy.

Spreading news that a teen used a buttplug to cheat at chess based on some Reddit shitposting was definitely close to a new low score

We then found a Google account used to review local restaurants, amenities, and that very gas station. It belonged to Robert R Smart, the man behind the GhostEzra persona. Photos from social media accounts connected to Smart matched with photos GhostEzra posted from his home.

For HORRIBLE GRIEVOUS PAINFUL DEATH, written procedures and finger-wagging is not enough. "MOTIVATION" IS NOT THE CORE FACTOR IN ASSURANCE FAILURE. You are never going to win in Security with this approach. You can't. It's stupendous arrogance. Humanity has learned this before.
