Few people know this, but up until age ~18, I was convinced I would make hand-drawn animation my livelihood. Computers/reverse engineering happened, and my life took a different trajectory. I once (around age 21) thought about taking an gig at Pixar (they were ...
... looking for people with a math + animation background, and I happened to have a bit of both). Anyhow, to this day I am a huge fan of animated short movies, and there are a few I really really love. I will share 2 of them in this thread:
"The last knit" - - a beautiful little movie about doing something *really* passionately.
"Pursuit of happyness" - a gorgeous hand-drawn animated short film about modern society and corporate careers: :-)

Management thread. I saw a discussion in my timeline about whether "only people should be managers that want to do it and be great at it" or "only people should be managers that usually are not keen to do it" etc. - my view has a different angle: Every middle-manager needs to...
... deal with aligning 3 different interests: The best interest of the company, the best interest of their team, and the best interest of the manager himself. Getting those three into alignment is not always easy, and there are different ways different managers cope when ...
... there are irreconcilable conflicts between the three. Some managers have a tendency to put their own interest last, and absorb the differences. This is often good for the team & the company in the short run, but risks being unsustainable. Some managers view their role as ...

Clarification for the mitigation discussion: I do not think mitigations are all useless. Shipping the combo of NX, ASLR, GS jointly constrained an overabundance of trivially exploitable bugs. But I also think mitigations need to be evaluated soberly and critically. This...
... translates into a few things: (1) Every mitigation should have a clearly stated attacker model and precise claims what it is supposed to achieve. (2) A mitigation should have a number (3 or more?) of real-world past bugs that are rendered *unexploitable* by the mitigation.
(4) The way a mitigation deteriorates on repeated exploitation of similar bugs should be considered. Is it hard every time, or can I re-use a recipe next time? (5) The cost of the mitigation in terms of complexity, performance, and debuggability, should be discussed explicitly.

Thread triggered by srf.ch/sendungen/inte… - In 2000 I started my "Zivildienst" in Altenessen-Nord, a reasonably un-posh neighborhood in northern Essen. I had an interesting run-in after I intervened with some bigger kids beating up / stealing from a smaller kid; including a ...
... lot of things that sound like precursors to the problems/tactics described in the radio feature (the rapid assembly of a large group of individuals; threat of violence; subordination of individual interest to clan interest). It is an interesting & sobering thought that the...
... kids I dealt with then (whose age ranged from 13 to 24) have, by now, spent another 19 years on those tactics & that way of life. It is really strange how familiar a lot of the stuff in the radio feature sounds, just incrementally escalated over two decades - and a good ...

Few people know just how large and important BlackRock has become to the financial system. Even less realize it’s a driving force behind the climate emergency. It’s AGM is this week. Here’s s a few things you should know to level up theguardian.com/business/2019/…
There are 112 globally significant financial institutions that have exited the coal industry. BlackRock stands out like a sore thumb bucking this trend as the world’s LARGEST owner of the coal industry. It’s the top shareholder in 7 of the worlds largest coal producers
But it’s not just coal. They’re also a top three owner of every oil super major. If anyone truly faces transition risk it’s these guys but wait...

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

I’m a suicide survivor. I have survived multiple attempts, most before I went into treatment, and one due to my mishandling a med change (my fault). Very few people know this, so it will cause a stir in my community, but it’s important for me to tell my story. #SuicidePrevention
I tried twice durning my teens and once in my 30’s. I’m “out of the closet” with my mental health, even talking to my students about it, but I don’t talk about this with anyone. I don’t talk about it because people have zero idea how to respond.
It’s a conversation killer, talk about bringing the party down. I would not even know where to begin, and so I don’t. My wife knows, my doctors know, but I don’t think anyone else does. So, this will come as a shock to some and will make others angry and for that, I’m sorry.

Thread: The Silmarillion for dummies.
It all starts with Ilúvatar who created the Ainur. The most powerful ones of the Ainur are called the Valar, the others are called the Maiar.
All of them together created Ëa (the universe) through song, this process is called Ainulindalë.
I will shortly introduce the 8 most important Valar.

- Manwë is the King of the Valar and ruler of the wind
- Varda is the Queen of the Valar and of the stars
- Ulmo is the lord of water
- Yavanna is the one responsible for everything that grows in Arda

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈
