Another one for the blast from the past P0 series: @tiraniddo on vulnerability reporting and the importance of PoCs (aka @41414141’s “you can’t argue with a root shell” principle)

The @CIA in-house journal described HOW TO STAGE A COUP as “valuable” “thought-provoking” and “the most thorough treatment” of covert action to date!

This is another old (7+ years) P0 post that I had missed. This time it’s an amazing xdev writeup by @_tsuro:

Pixiv, a Japanese art and manga website that was cloned by 🇨🇳 pirates, has hit back by encoding forbidden keywords and hashtags banned by 🇨🇳 censors into its code, prompting 🇨🇳 authorities to shut the pirated version “vpixiv” down.

CONTEXT: Granovetter's "The Strength of Weak Ties" is a seminal social science paper - cited 66,923 times (!)

Weak ties have long been proven to contribute to occupational mobility (& higher wages/employment rates).

Having LinkedIn prove that on a larger scale is a good thing.

From @mironov_fm & @itskhoki:

Brief conclusions:

Over the next 6 months an attempt will be made to mobilise between 700,000 and 1 million people. /2

B. A. Friedman @BA_Friedman

This Russian mobilization is a pretty clear attempt to use mass to stem the metaphorical bleeding on the battlefield through mass, but this is very unlikely to work. A (short) thread on mass:

Clever information operation. Shaping the information space to cause a change in behaviour.

Igor Sushko @igorsushko

#Ukraine has established a coordination agency "Want to Live" for forcibly mobilized Russian citizens. Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal available.

Someday aliens are going to land their saucers in a field somewhere in New Jersey and everything is going to go just fine right up until we try to explain our calendar to them

Tom Uren @tomatospy

It totally makes sense for Russia to coordinate with hacktivist groups and @thegrugq and I discuss the reasons why (although we took a Ukrainian POV) in our last Between Two Nerds podcast.

Up now here: risky.biz/BTN6

John Hultquist🌻 @JohnHultquist

We’ve further linked hacktivist leaks and GRU intrusions. I am concerned that they have established deniable personas they will use for mischief (like elections) and I’m concerned we are not taking hacktivists seriously when some are serious players. (1/2) https://t.co/Yzgzy1OgmM
