threat intelligence teams, like the ones at Meta, are doing “amazing work,” in part by staying siloed and separate from the commercial arms of their wider organizations. “But the question is how long will that last?” said Deibert.

What would be the point of threat intelligence that isn’t siloed?

They appear to be positioning themselves as a privacy-friendly alternative to a lot of “smart” technology that already exists in a more performant and robust form. That deviates from their usual brand and seems like a gamble, given how little average consumers seem to care about privacy.

It does set them apart, and I can imagine privacy becoming a much more public issue in the near future, I just wonder if they’ll see it through.

Eventually few if any good engineers will be willing to work for these companies because of the black mark it places on their resume and their name.

Already, many hiring managers outside a few giant corps will never be willing to hire an engineer who worked at Facebook for any length of time after 2016, for instance, simply because it’s irrefutably strong evidence against either their character or the trustworthiness of their judgement.

I expect that trend will deepen as society becomes more aware of the countless ways these engineers betrayed them just for a few more dollars and an on-campus chef.

For that, you can thank Bonhoeffer and the writing conventions of his era ;)

It’s likely the newline whitespace characters in your post being handled differently on their home instance. They’re usually invisible but you can see them by inspecting the page. The first appears between “evil;” and “it.”

You can remove these characters by hand, using a text formatting tool, or just by pasting into a field that doesn’t support them like a browser address bar. 🤙

I know you mean restoration of known-working system state but to them this is the hard reset and also I’m kinda feeling like maybe it’s time to zero and install Linux lol
