No wonder Zoom bombing is happening. All you need to join a meeting is a URL made up of a single ten-digit number. It's like Zoom has turned all the world's conferences into chat roulette! Just iterate through the digits until you hit a room.
Note, seriously, do not fucking do this! Kids are being forced to use Zoom for education. Yes, it's a complete privacy and security trash fire, but do not turn users into victims. boston.cbslocal.com/2020/03/30/zoo…
How the fuck has Zoom managed to let this slide? I hope the mother of all class-action lawsuits is currently getting cooked up. latimes.com/california/sto…
The stories are just endless. insidehighered.com/news/2020/03/2…
Oh, how about your church livestream getting turned into a porn channel? sacbee.com/news/coronavir…
Here's a dynamic list of Zoom meetings that are probably vulnerable to Zoombombing. twitter.com/search?q=zoom.…
This isn’t even always out of malice. Zoom is turning normal people making a mistake into eavesdroppers.

Despite the confusing back-and-forth messaging, it finally seems clear that, no, Zoom is indeed NOT end-to-end encrypted, as they were claiming for a long time. Unlike, say, Apple's FaceTime, which for up to 32 users, indeed IS e2e. wired.com/story/zoom-sec…
Now, as others have pointed out, making what Zoom does work e2e is a hard problem! Most of the competitors, except, say, FaceTime, don't do it either. BUT THEY DON'T CLAIM TO DO IT!
Worse, Zoom's "defense" for misleading customers about whether they had e2e encryption was simply to claim that they had used "end to end encryption" as a term differently than the rest of the industry and all established practice. Yikes.

It's such a funny coincidence that the vast majority of people asking me to speak more softly, don't be so aggressive, and always assume good intentions in the face of bad actions are venture capitalists and company executives. Very rarely is it workers or consumers. SO ODD!
It's almost like there's a structural incentive on the behalf of the money lenders and the company owners and operators not to have the wheels of commerce critiqued too much. Like it's bad for business or valuations. Real mystery!
I wonder what her profession is? OF IT'S VENTURE CAPITAL.

Whatever else come of Zoom's 90-day security & privacy redemption quest, I will commend them for immediately removing that horrible "Attention Tracker" feature, and swearing its gone for good. We don't need our collaboration software to enable the petty insecurities of tyrants.
Also, they stopped using the malware-like trick to avoid asking for permissions before installing the app on OSX. If they keep this up, and systemically remove all despicable features/tricks/deception, they will eventually uncover a usable service! theverge.com/2020/4/2/21204…
In the mean time, you should really checkout some of the alternatives. The only possible hope we have of keeping companies like Zoom honest is their belief that the competition is real, and that bad behavior will have market consequences. theverge.com/2020/4/1/21202…

A thread on exhausted friends. It's no surprise to anyone that my friends are tired..
We had to fight against a huge machine to win, and the victor wasn't their hero in most cases.
It's been hard.
*thread*
The structural racism in the left needs attention. It doesn't end with the Jews, autonomy for POC to have their own political belief is part of a free society.
Tory membership is not being a fascist. It's a different socio/economic way of thinking. Even now.
The left is a mess, it doesn't empower minorities to organize and fight their situation, it instead fetishises their oppression for it's own ends.
This must end. Every citizen in our country is both equal and free, that should be our fight.

Still massively missing the point.

"Why risk it if you don't have to?" <- is the dead tell.

Risk pervades everything we do. Every decision you make has risk on both sides, and humans are incredibly bad at reasoning about risk. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c…
That statement makes it sound like the equation is simple:

deploy == risk
no deploys == no risk

Indeed, this is how many people do think about risk; and if you zoom far enough in on any single deploy, it may even seem true. Any individual deploy *may* temporarily elevate risk.
But a system is not made up of a single event, and that is a poor way to evaluate risk.

🐌 What of the risk of delaying deploys?
🕷 What about the risk of batching up multiple changes by multiple devs?
🐛 Or the chances of forgetting what was in those diffs, days later?

Whilst attempting to not fall on my face while putting on pants today, I was pondering how to fight the scourge of Sources Say reporting. Now, Sources Say has always been a problem but it does seem to have ramped up in the last decade or so. How to stop this? I have thoughts.
First, read the article not the headline. This is an ancillary issue where headlines do not match the content of the piece. But read the article. Trump announces plans to eat pizza with a fork! Sanders announces plans to eliminate the heartbreak of grocery store rewards cards!
Blaring headline. Then you read it and Sources Say. Not a single named person. Just Sources who are close to the situation or are aware of it or are former members of WHAM. Not a single named source. So, in other words, prayer requests, I mean gossip. It's gossip.

This morning I find myself watching a documentary about the mangroves of South America. It's an area of 13,000 sq miles covering parts of Panama, Columbia, Ecuador & Peru. Like all of nature it and the wildlife it supports needs to be protected from us. 1/
I was watching as some kids were being taught in school about the importance of preserving the mangroves and protecting the wildlife. And of course all the kids were committed & enthusiastic about saving the planet. 2/
However as I watched them I knew that some of them will be faced with hardship that will make it difficult to live up to the commitments they made as a child. A father will be looking at a choice between illegal fishing or his children going hungry. 3/
