In this episode, Andy sits down once again with Paul to continue their conversation about Microsoft's struggles with security. The episode focuses on a recent report from ProPublica about a Microsoft whistleblower named Andrew Harris. The report alleges that Microsoft was aware of a serious vulnerability in its on-premises Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) software that could have enabled the SolarWinds supply chain attack, but chose not to fix it or disclose it to customers.  Andy and Paul discuss how Microsoft's focus on new features and cloud growth over security, as well as the desire to win lucrative government contracts, may have contributed to this decision. They also touch on the challenges faced by Microsoft's security response team and the broader issue of security being seen as a cost center rather than a profit driver.    Key Takeaways:  Microsoft ignored a serious ADFS vulnerability that could have enabled widespread attacks. Security is often viewed as a cost center at Microsoft, rather than a profit driver. This mindset led to the ADFS vulnerability being ignored, as fixing it was not seen as a priority compared to delivering new features and products. Microsoft was criticized for not being transparent about the ADFS vulnerability and not giving customers the option to implement mitigations, even if it meant sacrificing some functionality. The ADFS incident is symptomatic of broader security culture problems at Microsoft, where security is not always prioritized, and technical debt or legacy systems are not adequately addressed.  Timestamps:  (02:22) - Explaining the Whistleblower's Allegations and the SolarWinds Attack  (07:32) - Vulnerability in ADFS and Microsoft's "Security Boundaries" Argument  (13:06) - Why Was the Issue Swept Under the Rug?  (19:16) - The Challenges Faced by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC)  (26:24) - Satya Nadella's Comments on Prioritizing Security over New Features  (27:38) - The Controversy Around the "Recall" Feature in Windows 11  Episode Resources:  ProPublica Article

(Please note slightly distorted audio on intro and extro*) Rev. Dianne Crewe used to lead congregations at Emmanuel United Church in Gambo and Knox United Church in Hare Bay. But earlier this month, at the start of a sermon, Crewe announced upcoming events, including Pride celebrations at the church. Some members of the congregation interrupted the service to voice their opposition to those events. Ultimately, Crewe says church officials had a meeting -- which she was not allowed to attend -- that ended in her being forced to leave the church. The CBC's Martin Jones began his conversation with Rev. Dianne Crewe by asking her if she was surprised by the interruption during that Sunday service.

19:55 - Gjon's Tears talks about his 2021 Eurovision near-win 35:00 - Michael Hsu Rosen plays a game putting the people against the powerful   We dive into one of the biggest controversies among Eurovision fans: how Eurovision selects its winners. Should they rely on the expertise of industry juries or should we let the people decide? We explore the evolution of Eurovision's constantly evolving selection process, and talk about the different implications of its varying forms.   Then we talk to Gjon's Tears, whose song Tout L'universe was a favorite of the juries, but was prevented from winning because of the televote-- eventually placing 3rd overall. We talk about everything from his experience at Eurovision, to his search for identity and belonging through music, to how his 2021 performance helped him overcome his body insecurity.   Finally, we chat with Michael Hsu Rosen who performed with the NYC Ballet, before going on to star in several popular Netflix hits (Pretty Smart, Glamorous). He draws on his experience operating in artistic worlds that are ruled alternately by expert and public opinion to explore why certain songs are jury favorites, and why others steal the heart of the people.   SONG LINKS   Mentioned in Deep Dive Loreen - Tattoo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3vJfR81xO0 Kaarija - Cha Cha Cha - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJHe-iZ5HSI   Gjon's Tears - Tout L'Univers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuimHmJMEFA   Mentioned in the Game   Keiino - Spirit in the Sky (Norway 2019) - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x799hq2 Zdob si Zdub - Trenuletul (Moldova 2022) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9RJQPZsj8E Il Volo - Grande Amore (Italy 2015) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TOMqZV2jA8 Destiny - Je Me Casse (Malta 2019) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TdBbLVCAzk Tamara Todevska - Proud (North Macedonia 2019) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw-NQ1a1zZ0 Konstrakta - In Corpore Sano (Serbia 2022) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odFhYxoXiuo Teya and Selena - Who the Hell is Edgar?
