@KansasUberAlles Haha! That's me! My dad was Norwegian (original family name Holm) and my mother Filipina. It is a volatile combination, that, when it works its amazing. :P

@rmhrisk But does it come with fries?

Key management does not need to be hard.

Dear @TheEconomist , I love you guys, but the State Department strongly recommends against travel to both of your finalists for "country of the year" (Syria, Bangladesh). Perhaps reconsider the selection process? Or add rule: ineligible if revolution in last 12 months?

@mikko @RSAConference What day is your keynote? I want to make sure I keep my calendar reserved!

Guess who’s keynoting at #RSAC 2024!

I started out programming x86 assembly (we only had 16bit registers then, like AX, CX, etc). So I love these kinds of vulnerability writeups. Looks like this one (which is terrible awful) is specific to AMD CPUs?

@rmhrisk My parents have effectively been locked out of the digital world for precisely these reasons. I do not see an easy solution given the state of the technology and infrastructure we have now.

Passwords made my mother cry again. It's unreasonable to expect people to remember varying usernames and passwords for as many as 100 sites, most of which are infrequently used. Password managers can help, but they often fail to catch reset flows. In cross-device scenarios, you're often forced to use multiple password managers due to how systems operate. Typically, passwords are about 10 characters long. If these passwords are unique and random, we're asking people to remember an ever-changing set of characters, maybe as many as 1000, across numerous sites. To rely on password managers, we're expecting regular users to understand how these systems work and to manually verify they are living up to expectations. This reliance on complex password systems isolates older people from technology, the communities they engage with, and the supporting infrastructure. We need the web to standardize on WebAuthN and Passkeys. They promise to greatly simplify the experience for users. By adopting these technologies, we can make the web more user-friendly and inclusive, reducing the burden of password management and increasing accessibility for all.

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind this. security.googleblog.com/2023/05/new-an…

@rmhrisk Larry Ellison said privacy is an illusion. But you only have to talk to a victim of stalking for 2 minutes to realize we need to do better

We can do better people. We need to do better.

Spent the last hour reviewing a domestic abuse victim's phone unraveling how deep their partner had gotten into their accounts. We need to do so much better as an industry on how we handle authentication and recovery. WebAuthn, Passkeys, and FIDO can help but are not enough.

Hey @AskAmex I don't recall receiving my Departures magazine lately, but I haven't changed addresses. How do I fix?

Do you like food? Do you like David Holmes? Of course you like both! So if you have the chance to come to this luncheon tomorrow (Thursday), i'll be there leading a discussion on #ZeroTrust!

@alexisohanian @alexisohanian I'm actually doing some research on this right now. Would you be open to a short phone interview? I can provide sample Q's and premise doc beforehand. LMK!

PE is definitely going to FEAST in late-stage tech in the coming years.

My @TripIt stats for the year. 8 countries isn't bad for a down year.

Wow prices are really falling at @JustFlyGlobal !

I just went to SIX STORES looking for @Enfamil baby formula and came back empty handed. This has been going on for what, a year? I assume E is content with the status quo, but I don't really have a choice but to abandon this formerly-loved brand.

New #Heartbleed dropping next week? #OpenSSL

@morozov_dev I'm a former developer and worked with dozens of QA engineers; this is 100% accurate
