Lots of other great presentations scheduled at this great conference this weekend in Seattle, some even at the same time as my presentations.
Stick around for the after-conference party Saturday night as well.

NdT talks with the finance hosts about how science is relevant and the costs of ignoring climate change. And hurricane season is a good time to talk about it because nature is hitting us in the face with the effect of climate change.

EFF resigning from w3c over w3c endorsement for DRM and lack of protection for security researchers
"Today, the W3C bequeaths an legally unauditable attack-surface to browsers used by billions of people. They give media companies the power to sue or intimidate away those who might re-purpose video for people with disabilities. They side against the archivists who are scrambling to preserve the public record of our era. The W3C process has been abused by companies that made their fortunes by upsetting the established order, and now, thanks to EME, they’ll be able to ensure no one ever subjects them to the same innovative pressures."

Equifax hacked, details from 143 million *consumers* might be stolen.
Consumers because we aren't customers, we didn't ask equifax to store all our data.
So, the big question: will equifax now pay for credit monitoring for all 143 million people?
The data breach can be exploited such that credit requests go to other credit rating companies, so monitoring only equifax is not sufficient.
It's your data, you should have access to see what they have, especially when they're responsible for the data loss.

I don't want credit monitoring from these companies. The companies that expose all our data are the same companies trying to sell us a service to protect that data. If they get something wrong or somebody
"steals our identity", we're responsible for correcting it. What a racket. It seems this "industry" externalizes all the costs to people whose information it collects and then exposes. They win no matter what happens.
I want them to pay for credit freezes. (I want them to do some other things too, but it wouldn't be polite to express those things aloud.)
Here's a link to Equifax's own page on the matter (in case it is useful): https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/Charles Stanhope at 2017-09-07T22:42:54Z

you mean "will Equifax give all my info to a third party to monitor it after they got it taken by another third party" ?
The "credit report" business has to stop. (we have a similar sh*t in Canada with the same robber barons)Also they can't be sued if you use their website. It has an arbitration clause in the ToS. Until these are invalidated you are f*****.I went digging for the information I had bookmarked about security freezes and came across Brian Krebs' explanation: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/06/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-embrace-the-security-freeze/2017-09-07T14:16:24Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

This ranks up there with Barnes and Noble citing really cheesy 70's British Sci Fi ( much cheesier even than The Doctor attacking himself with a prop tentacle or a prop 6' space locust ) as prior art in the rebuttal to Microsoft's outlandish patent claims.
Except, that wasn't an amicus brief, it was a response from the defendant. They also cited 2001 and lots of stuff broadcast before Microsoft existed. It was brilliant.
Anyway, read Masnick's entire article, it's worth it. Then read the brief as Masnick didn't quote all the fun parts.
"Apparently because Plaintiffs’ delicate sensibilities were offended, they clutched their pearls and filed this suit."
Bob has so much indignant entitlement.

Good analysis of the recent Artifex ruling. It does not uphold the GPL or count as precedent. It does reiterate there are potential merits to Artifex' case and also give credence to GPL as an enforceable contract. It also says contract monies are not necessarily the only revenues associated with making software freely available. Several layers of appeal are still available, but it's a quite favorable lower court ruling

Austin mayor uses humor to respond to sexist rant.
"I am writing to alert you that your email account has been hacked by an unfortunate and unusually hostile individual. Please remedy your account’s security right away, lest this person’s uninformed and sexist rantings give you a bad name."
Beautiful.
