When mid-air Wi-Fi scares meet massive enterprise AI investments, IT teams are forced to rethink both security and cloud strategy. On this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown, hosts Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke break down a fake Wi-Fi network detected on a Delta flight post-DEF CON that temporarily shut down inflight internet. They also explore NetApp acquiring JetStream Software to ease VMware cloud disaster recovery, along with NVIDIA releasing open-source tools like Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard to cut enterprise AI costs. IBM and Together AI are building a $240 million AI cluster on IBM Cloud, Sectigo launched its Orchestration Gateway to automate certificate renewals before TLS lifespans drop to 47 days, Blumira introduced the Hearth AI security command center, and the FBI teamed up with Huntress to patch thousands of compromised Microsoft Exchange servers using an attacker backdoor.This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.

US stock indices closed mostly higher on Wednesday after strong results from AI companies and a relatively tame CPI print. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to near its record close, the Nasdaq gained 0.7%, and the Dow closed nearly flat. CoreWeave surged 19.3% after posting stronger-than-expected sales results. SMCI soared 19% after its revenue forecast came in above expectations. Chip producers gained following strong results from Tencent, while Temasek took fresh stakes in SK Hynix and Samsung. The results injected fresh optimism into AI infrastructure stocks amid their volatile start to the third quarter. Nvidia (+3%), Oracle (+5.4%), and Micron (+4.9%) were up. Meanwhile, new inflation data showed relatively stable core inflation, easing pressure on the FOMC to raise interest rates. Still, uncertainty over the return of energy supplies from the Middle East maintained inflationary concerns. Hyperscalers erased earlier gains, with Microsoft down 2.3%, Meta losing 3.4%, and Amazon shedding 1.8%.SPI down 24 - TLS results - CWY Bid - ANZ Update - Gold up - Oil downMarcus Today – Daily Market InsightsMarcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.

The ASX 200 gained 18 points to 9,251 (+0.2%), with a slight flip higher as the RBA kept rates unchanged. Once again, we saw banks under some modest pressure, with ANZ down 1.3% and the Big Bank Basket down 0.3% to $287.50. Insurers also slipped, with QBE down 1.1% and IAG having a bad day, down 4.0%. Elsewhere, industrials were mainly firm, with healthcare a star, CSL up 2.9% and RMD up 3.8%. TLS managed a small loss, while CAR had a small loss after yesterday's results, falling 1.1%. We also saw QAN dropping 3.2% as the oil price headed higher, and both WOW and COL fell away as traders embraced more risk in the tech space. XRO rose slightly, and NXT was up as well.Meanwhile, resources did well, especially in the gold sector, with the gold miners heading higher. NEM was up 2.8% and GMD up 0.7%. BHP rose 0.7%, and coal stocks were also firm, as were uranium stocks, with PDN up 2.6% and DYL up 2.8%. WDS rose 3.8% and STO was up 5.4%.In corporate news, 360 fell 19.4% after offering no guidance, and SGH also tumbled 10.3% as the Coats business disappointed.On the economic front, the RBA kept rates on hold, as was widely anticipated, with a slight hawkish tinge. The economic team at ANZ also predicted the end of the world for housing over the next two years. The oil price continued to push higher, with the gold price coming off its highs.Asian markets were mixed, with Japan closed, Hong Kong down 0.7%, China down 0.1%, and Korea up 1%. US futures were mixed, with the Dow down 17 points and the Nasdaq up 43.Marcus Today – Daily Market Insights Marcus Today provides clear, practical commentary for self-directed investors – covering markets, portfolios, education, and decision-making without the noise.

PHP Alive and Kicking – August 4, 2026 Hosts: Chris Miller (standing in solo while Mike is on holiday) Mike escaped to a beach so Chris hosts alone with special guest Derick Rethans. Expect date-time philosophy, PHP 8.6 goodies, Xdebug secrets, deprecation drama, and a heated debate about how to queue at a pub. From University Websites to Committing to PHP Derick traces his PHP origins back to his university days, building websites that needed database connectivity. ASP.NET was an option, but nobody wanted to pay for it — Linux was cool, and PHP was easy to start using. That combination hooked him early. His very first accepted contribution came from a practical need: everyone wanted centered Shockwave Flash films on their pages, back before CSS even existed. Centering meant knowing the width of a file, and while getimagesize() already existed (and still works today), it didn’t understand Flash. Derick added that support. From there he fell into bug triage, spending several years working through the issue tracker alongside Jani Taskinen (whose “Sniper” name still shows up in commit logs). For a long time it was just the two of them reproducing and fixing bugs — an important task that gets neglected easily, which is exactly how backlogs of a thousand issues and pull requests build up. The Eternal Problem of Date and Time Chris and Derick dig into why date-time bugs are so hard to triage: date algorithms are genuinely complicated, and it takes real time to figure out whether a report is a user’s mistake or an actual PHP bug. Crashes are easy to reproduce; subtle date arithmetic is not. The core philosophical question is “what does adding a month even mean?” If it’s January 31st and you add a month, PHP historically just bumps the month number, producing February 31st, which overflows to March 2nd or 3rd. But most people who add a month really just want the next month and don’t care about day counts — so “next month” is conceptually distinct from “add a month.” Derick has been brainstorming better interfaces so people can’t make these mistakes, though it’s a lot of work. They touch on Carbon as a unified interface people understand, but agree that making Carbon the language standard isn’t the right move. At the language level you need something that works for everybody and ideally doesn’t break existing code. What’s Coming in PHP 8.6 The first new time class is landing: a Duration object representing seconds and nanoseconds within a specific range, living in the Time namespace. It’s a trial run for new APIs and immediately useful — for example, passing a duration to sleep or to timeouts in the new polling API, rather than juggling raw integers. Another highlight is partial function application. With the pipe operator from 8.5, piping into anything that takes more than one argument meant wrapping it in a closure (and extra parentheses because of how the parser works). Partials let you pre-fill some arguments so the resulting callable accepts just one — perfect for pipelines. There’s also TLS session resumption support for streams, which lets OpenSSL shortcut the expensive session setup on repeated TLS connections. Bigger stream-layer work by Jakub Zelenka of the PHP Foundation is underway too, but that’s a huge job on old code and won’t make 8.6 — Chris and Derick both note the pain of keeping a year-and-a-half-long project in sync with the master branch. Xdebug in 8.6 and the Xdebug Cloud Xdebug’s recent headline feature (shipped with 8.5) is native path mapping, which lets you configure remote-to-local path mappings inside Xdebug itself instead of your IDE — handy when your code runs in Docker or on a dev machine. Feedback since release is driving quality-of-life improvements. For 8.6, relatively little is broken, though a change to how PHP reports line numbers needs untangling so debugging stops on the correct lines. Derick also has a new code-coverage implementation that gives better, more correct results at roughly a 10% speed cost. He’d rather ship correct output than fast output — and points out that PHPCov may be quicker but skips path and branch coverage entirely. The pair discuss how branch coverage doubles your test count at every branching point, and how Xdebug has a hard limit (around 64K) to avoid running out of memory on pathological code. Finally, Chris asks about Xdebug Cloud — a paid service that enables debugging where networking otherwise wouldn’t, such as remote teams sharing a single development machine (an SSH tunnel only lets one person listen on the debug port). It’s £15/month or £150/year for an individual, priced similarly to Packagist’s private packages, and helps fund Derick’s ongoing Xdebug work. He plans to do more marketing about it this year. Deprecations, Consensus, and Two-Thirds Votes Every year PHP collects a big list of deprecations — around 20 to 25 this cycle — voted on separately. Derick is more reluctant than most to approve them, arguing many offer no clear user benefit. His examples: deprecating metaphone() (whose suggested Composer replacement ironically relies on the internal function) and the dechunk filter (which can’t really be removed because HTTP streams use it internally). The list() deprecation is another sore point — Chris uses it, and the vote is tied 21–21 with one abstention, so it won’t pass under the two-thirds rule. Derick reminds everyone that “yes” needs to be twice “no.” Returning from a finally block is another candidate that makes little sense to use but hurts nothing to keep. Chris and Derick reflect on how voting was originally meant to confirm consensus reached on the mailing list, not to be the decision itself. A 50%+1 result isn’t consensus; two-thirds is the compromise, even if true 75–80% agreement would be ideal. Joe notes many deprecations are groundwork to reserve keywords for future RFCs — which raises the perennial question of how you measure real-world usage across Composer’s dependency chains. Infrastructure, the Website, and the Next Generation The PHP infrastructure has been converted to an Ansible-based repository over the last year and a half (largely by Derick, with help from Joe), replacing a wild mix of individually maintained servers — one was still running FreeBSD 4.3. They’ve also migrated to a new CDN, which brought surprises: a default one-month cache, ignoring the query string in cache keys, and even dark/light mode being an organization-wide setting rather than per-user. On the website side, everything currently lives in a single root directory of 1999-vintage code, and there’s a long-pending patch to restructure it. The PHP Foundation’s ambassadors program — with speaking, marketing, and research streams — aims to make the very techy php.net homepage speak to CTOs and newcomers about who uses PHP and why it’s a thriving project (only 31-ish years old, versus C’s 60). The conversation closes on caretakers and the next generation of contributors. Triage, they stress, doesn’t require deep internals knowledge — just reading reports to see if they still make sense is hugely valuable. Security and infrastructure access necessarily stay gatekept for trust reasons, and both agree a bus factor of one (or even two) isn’t good enough. Chris admits he’s struggling to name people who are both nice and know infra.

Most cryptographic findings on your vulnerability report will never be exploited by a real attacker. So why do they keep showing up — and why should you still fix them?In this episode of the Cyber Threat Perspective, Brad Causey and Jordan Natter break down OWASP Top 10 A04: Cryptographic Failures — the entry they openly call their least favorite on the list. They explain why SWEET32, BEAST, and the other scary-sounding named TLS vulnerabilities almost never translate into real-world compromise, why platforms like Security Scorecard and BitSight inflate their severity anyway, and where genuine cryptographic risk actually lives.Jordan also walks through a real penetration test finding: a JSON Web Token signed with HS256, an exposed configuration backup sitting on the web server, and the signing secret that turned a standard user into an administrator.In this episode:- Why A04 dropped on the OWASP Top 10 without becoming less important- The difference between exploitable risk, hygiene risk, and brand reputational risk- An honest take on Security Scorecard and BitSight scores — what they measure, what they miss, and why a perfect score can coexist with a weak password policy and no MFA- The two halves of A04: data in transit (TLS/HTTPS, integrity, tampering) and data at rest (secure storage of credentials, PII, and payment data)- What a JWT actually is, and why pen testers love pulling them apart- Real pen test story: exposed config backup → leaked JWT secret → signature tampering → privilege escalation to admin- Broken server-side signature validation and other improperly implemented cryptography- Why MD5 and SHA-1 still show up for password storage 20 years too late — and what to use instead (Argon2, scrypt, bcrypt)- HSTS, secure renegotiation, and certificate expiration as A04 subcategories- The coffee shop scenario: the full chain of conditions required to exploit SWEET32 — including roughly 250 GB of captured traffic — and why no one has ever documented it happening in the wild- Why a decade-plus-old vulnerability in your environment says more about your vulnerability management program than about your crypto- Quantum computing: how today's theoretical attacks may not stay theoreticalThe takeaway: classify your data, choose modern algorithms, retire deprecated protocols, and keep a functioning vulnerability management program. Not because a threat actor is sitting in your local coffee shop waiting to derive your session key — but because leaving decade-old findings in place is a signal about everything else you might be missing.Next up: OWASP A05, which Brad promises is way cooler than A04.Blog: https://securit360.com/blog/Podcast: https://securit360.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SecurIT360Contact: https://securit360.com/contact/Have a topic you want us to cover?

QAN brushed off the latest Alan Joyce novel and rose 3.6% on lower oil prices. Meanwhile, resources had a solid day: BHP up 2.1%, RIO up 2.2%, and the gold miners also doing well today. We had some corporate action with EVN bidding for CNB in a script bid. VAU also had a good day, together with CMM, on a resource upgrade. Even the lithium stocks chimed in today, with LTR up 3.4% and PLS up 2.7%. Meanwhile, oil and gas stocks WDS and STO fell around 3%, and uranium and coal stocks also a little bit easier.In corporate news, MYR fell 12.0% after it said a sharp slowdown in consumer spending late in the financial year weighed on margins. PPT had another bid from EQT of $22.50, and EVN bid for CNB. Nothing today on the economic front as we await the CPI on Wednesday.Asian markets were mixed, Nikkei 225 up 0.3%, HK up 0.8% and China 0.3% - Korea up 0.8%.

Agentic AI is changing the threat landscape. We've moved beyond chatbots to autonomous systems that navigate files and take actions, expanding the attack surface. Recent incidents highlight the risk. Hugging Face suffered a breach where an AI agent became the entry point into production systems, showing that developer tools are now critical infrastructure. OpenAI's GPT-5.6 accidentally deleted user data, including a production database, after misconfiguring an environment variable—no malicious intent, just real consequences, underscoring the need for mandatory sandboxing. Meanwhile, SpaceX's Grok Build tool was found defaulting to collecting user repositories and sending them to internal cloud storage without clear consent, a reminder of “default-on” data exfiltration risks. A newer threat, Agent Data Injection, manipulates trusted metadata (like IDs or fields) with crafted inputs to mislead agents into unintended actions. A strong counterexample is the 1Password–Claude integration, which requires biometric approval before accessing credentials, keeping secrets out of the AI entirely. Human-in-the-loop controls should be standard.Legacy systems remain a major risk. Windows, OpenSSL, and WordPress continue to produce serious vulnerabilities. LegacyHive allows privilege escalation in Windows by loading another user's registry hive. HollowByte exploits a small crafted TLS payload in OpenSSL to trigger memory over-allocation and denial of service. The wp2shell chain enables unauthenticated remote code execution in WordPress core (versions 6.9–7.0), challenging the assumption that only plugins are risky. At the same time, Windows 10 is reaching end-of-life, yet roughly 17% of devices still run it, especially in cost-sensitive sectors like healthcare and small business. As Windows 11 patches are released, they effectively expose underlying flaws that attackers can reuse against unsupported systems.Trust itself is increasingly being exploited. Attackers are hiding inside legitimate platforms instead of building new infrastructure. HollowGraph malware uses compromised Microsoft 365 calendars as command-and-control channels, embedding instructions in far-future events and routing through normal Graph API traffic. A Norwegian transit test revealed electric buses could be remotely disabled via foreign SIM cards, highlighting risks in over-the-air control systems across transportation sectors. Ransomware groups are also evolving: JadePuffer's ENCFORGE targets AI model artifacts, treating trained models as high-value assets. Researchers have already used GPT models to build exploit chains, signaling AI's shift into offensive security roles.Governance gaps are compounding the problem. A ProPublica report found Microsoft used China-based engineers to support U.S. Department of Defense cloud systems via low-paid American intermediaries who relayed code without understanding it—technically compliant, but operationally risky. The UK scrapped its £1.8B digital ID program after execution failures. In another case, a single typo in a police report, combined with automated license plate recognition, led to a wrongful arrest, showing how systems can enforce human error without validation.The common thread is misplaced confidence—in AI agents, legacy systems, and formal compliance. Practical steps are clear: require human approval for sensitive AI actions, verify data access beyond contractual assurances, sandbox all agents, treat AI models as critical assets with backups, and update detection strategies to monitor abuse within trusted platforms, not just external threats.Trust, increasingly, is the vulnerability.
The ASX 200 rose 16 points to 8,839 (+0.2%) after a strong start was derailed by better-than-expected jobs data.Banks were firm, with CBA climbing 0.4% and the Big Bank Basket up to $284.71 Elsewhere, financials eased back following the news from MQG that CEO Shemara Wikramanayake will step down in November to be replaced by Greg Ward. The stock fell 0.5% on the news. We also saw losses in the insurance sector, with QBE down 1.1% and SUN falling 1.9%. Once again, it was the industrials that came under pressure, with the tech space falling hard as US software stocks weakened. XRO dropped 5.0%, WTC fell 7.0%, and TNE also suffered. The All-Tech Index fell 2.9%, with 360 down 5.5% too. Industrials eased back, with TLS down 0.6%, while REA, CAR and SEK also fell. Retail stocks were weaker, led lower by WES. Utilities firmed, with ORG up 0.8%.Resources were stronger again today, with BHP up 1.5% and FMG rising 1.0%.

Coal stocks were better, along with uranium names, with PDN the standout following broker upgrades, up 11.6%.In corporate news, GDG had a cracker of a day, rising 37.1% after updating its funds under management. STO narrowed its production guidance to 99m to 105m barrels of oil equivalent. Elsewhere, SFR had a good day after reporting record quarterly revenue.In economic news, the latest jobs data pointed to a resilient economy, with the unemployment rate holding at 4.4%, although most of the employment growth came from part-time jobs. The result is likely to keep pressure on the RBA to raise interest rates.Asian markets were better, Nikkei 225 up 0.9, HK up 1.4% and China up 0.1% - Korea up 4.3%. US futures drifting lower - Dow down 44 and Nasdaq down 100. Oil firms. European futures off slightly.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) underpins nearly every secure interaction in modern IT, but it's also one of the most misunderstood and overlooked foundations of security.In this episode of Secure IT, host Jason Kikta is joined by Mark Cooper, CEO and founder of PKI Solutions, to unpack why PKI is so critical to identity, authentication, and trust, and what happens when it fails.They explore how certificates enable passwordless authentication, secure TLS connections, IoT devices, endpoints, and enterprise systems, while also examining why misconfigured or poorly monitored PKI environments often become an attacker's fastest path to privilege escalation. From certificate expirations and operational outages to real-world breach scenarios and pen test failures, this conversation maps the full PKI risk spectrum.Jason and Mark also challenge a common assumption in cybersecurity: that recovery equals resilience. Instead, they argue that true resilience means staying secure and operational, even during misconfiguration, failure, or attack.Whether you're new to PKI or responsible for running it, this episode will change how you think about identity infrastructure, resilience, and trust.Topics covered:- What PKI is and why most organizations already depend on it- Certificates, passwordless authentication, and digital identity- How PKI misconfigurations enable high-impact attacks- Why recovery is the weakest form of resilience- The hidden operational and security risks of foundational systems
Im Podcast geht es mal wieder um einen bunten Strauß an Themen der vergangengen Wochen, angefangen mit einer sehr unangenehmen aber auch wichtige Diskussion zur zukünftigen Absicherung von TLS. Weiter geht es mit LLMs, die angeblich autonom Ransomware ausliefern, und Cisco, die keine einzelnen CVEs mehr ausliefern. Außerdem besprechen die Hosts elektrische Infrastruktur, die man fernsteuern und insbesondere aus der Ferne abschalten kann – leider kann das jeder der mag.

The ASX 200 closed down 44 pts at 8,797 as US futures weakened and Asian technology stocks were hit hard. Down 10pts for the week. Our market saw both the banks and resources come under pressure. The banks gave up ground, with CBA down 0.8% and WBC falling 0.2%. The Big Bank Basket fell to $284.25 (-0.5%) with a late rally helping. Insurers, however, held their ground, while other financials also performed reasonably well, with AMP rising for the second day in a row.Elsewhere, defensives in the industrial sector held firm, with TLS up 2.7% despite CEO Vicki Brady facing lawmakers in Canberra. WES also gained 0.9%, while in healthcare CSL edged higher and RMD rose 1.5%.Technology stocks were mixed. XRO gained 0.9% and WTC was little changed, but the data centre sector remained under pressure, with NXT falling another X%. MP1 had another horrible session, down 8.5%, while AI-related stocks were sold heavily. EIQ fell 5.7% and WBT tumbled nearly 10.5%. In fact, anything with a Vegas AI connection was under pressure today. Resources were once again the weak link. BHP continued to slide following its quarterly result, falling 2.7%. RIO also eased 2.4%, while FMG held up, but only just. Lithium stocks were once again under pressure, with PLS down 3.1% and MIN falling 2.6%. Gold miners also suffered despite bullion prices rising in Asian trade, with NST and EVN both down over 4%. Oil and gas stocks bucked the trend, with WDS up 3.3% and STO gaining 1.9%, although coal stocks failed to fire.There was little of note on the corporate front. ZIP fell 5.1% after announcing it would exit its New Zealand business. PRU delivered a stronger-than-expected quarterly update. SKC climbed after announcing the sale of investment properties in Auckland. COL walked away from its proposed acquisition of Greencross from TPG Capital, while RRL fell 8.4% after issuing a softer FY27 outlook.In economic news, Westpac Chief Economist Luci Ellis warned that the current AI boom could face a correction if commercial returns fail to justify the lofty valuations.Asian markets were slammed, Nikkei 225 down 4.6%, HK down 2.3% and China down 3.9% - Korea closed for a holiday.US futures down - Dow down 403 and Nasdaq down 465.

“If you can only explain the arguments of the other side because they're mad or dangerous or dumb, the problem is with you.” — Turi Munthe On yesterday's show, the psychiatrist Sally Satel described how Americans imagine their own mental condition differently, depending on their politics and age. Which is a nice segue for today's conversation with the Anglo-French journalist turned media entrepreneur Turi Munthe. It's not just in our mental health self-evaluation, Munthe argues, that we hallucinate reality. Indeed, the French born Munthe often sounds like one of his post-structuralist compatriots in his defiantly slippery notion of ontological reality. In Why We Think What We Think: The Unexpected Origins of Our Deepest Beliefs, Munthe argues that our deepest convictions turn out to be shaped by genetics, brain shape and sometimes even by the agricultural legacy of our distant ancestors. Left and right thinkers, Munthe argues, are different political phenotypes — each hallucinating their own version of reality. Total relativism, then — the full French post-structuralist monty? Not quite. Here's where Munthe's Englishness kicks in. Following the Anglo-Russian philosopher Isaiah Berlin, Munthe insists pluralism and relativism are different. So Turi Munthe doesn't just think what he thinks because of his English or French origins. Borrowing from the cognitive scientists Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier, Munthe defines thinking as a “contact sport”. So, for example, believing that the 2020 election was stolen is what Munthe calls a social commitment, because humans would rather be wrong together than right alone. Speaking of convenient segues, Munthe's thoughts on thinking set the scene for next Tuesday's conversation with Emily Eakin, author of The Frenchmen. It's her history of seductive post-structuralists like Foucault, Derrida and Lacan who corrupted a whole generation of literary American Ivy Leaguers (including Eakin) into hallucinating reality. Five Takeaways • Pluralism Is Not Relativism. Munthe opens with Isaiah Berlin's distinction: registering the sincerity and value of opinions across the political, religious, and ethical spectrum does not relativize truth. That Charles Windsor is King of the United Kingdom is a statement of fact; whether you're a monarchist or a republican is where opinion begins. The book confines itself to the second category — beliefs, values, and opinions that cannot be factually proven — and asks what the nonrational influences on them actually are. The answer is humbling: genetics account for perhaps half of political persuasion, and the rest is shaped by everything from brain anatomy to the agriculture of our ancestors. • Different Political Phenotypes. At the margins, left and right differ neurologically: right-leaners are on average more readily startled by loud noises and more attentive to threat, while left-leaners carry a slightly larger anterior cingulate cortex — the brain region where we process ambiguity and split hairs. That anatomy, Munthe argues, explains the ideological capture of academia and media better than any conspiracy: hair-splitters go where the hair-splitting is, and a conservative 22-year-old doesn't volunteer for a newsroom where 80% of colleagues think differently. We are, in his phrase, different political phenotypes, each hallucinating a different version of reality. • Thinking as a Contact Sport. Drawing on Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier's research, Munthe argues that reason didn't evolve for solitary contemplation — Rodin's Thinker is the wrong image — but for argument: to convince you to hunt the buffalo with me, I need reasons that look objective to you too. The evidence is everywhere, from the most impactful academic papers being written by pairs and groups to the creative density of small university towns. The implication is political: the people we disagree with are not obstacles to good thinking but the condition of it — the loyal opposition that helps us get out of ourselves. • Wrong Together Rather Than Right Alone. Munthe's reading of January 6 and the stolen-election faith is social rather than psychiatric: an enormous number of our beliefs matter more for what they do than for what they say, and professing them is a commitment to a group. From an evolutionary perspective, believing what your village believes — even about the god who is a giant rock at the end of the field — is intelligent, because the ostracized lose the protection of the group. The terrifying data point is the marriage test: in the 1950s, around 4% of families would have objected to a child marrying across party lines; today it approaches 45%. That is affective polarization, and it can pull societies apart. • The Problem Is With You. Munthe spent his twenties unable to fathom American gun rights — supporters had to be bought, dumb, or morally corrupt — until he did the work and found a tradition he now calls beautiful and heroic, whether or not he shares it. His rule of thumb: if you can only explain the other side's arguments as madness, danger, or stupidity, the problem is with you. This is not centrism — there was no middle ground on slavery or the Holocaust — but a defense of the clash itself: societies need the left to fix inequality and the right to defend the village, and we think best when the two are, in his words, continually bashed against each other. About the Guest Turi Munthe is a journalist and policy analyst turned media entrepreneur. He founded Demotix, which became the largest network of photojournalists in the world before its sale to Corbis in 2012, and Parlia, an encyclopedia of opinion. He has written for The Economist, The Guardian, the TLS, The Nation, and The Spectator, has sat on the boards of Index on Censorship, openDemocracy, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and is a board member of the Italian media group GEDI, publisher of La Repubblica and La Stampa.

Erich Schaffer critiques the “super greenhouse effect” and argues that tropical outgoing longwave radiation stays flat mainly because tropospheric temperature is sluggish relative to surface temperature, not because water vapor amplifies greenhouse trapping. He says regional and seasonal proxies for water vapor feedback are invalid (citing admissions by Ramanathan/Inamdar and Dessler et al.) and claims interannual proxy results are distorted by aspect-ratio choices and improper OLS regression, advocating TLS or rotated-benchmark methods. Reanalyzing published plots (Spencer, Lindzen-Choi, Chung, Andy May), he concludes water vapor plus lapse rate implies strong negative feedback and low ECS (~1 K). He also alleges data “fudging” and broader scientific incompetence.00:00 Super Greenhouse Effect02:20 OLR Calculations Explained03:28 Troposphere Sluggishness05:32 Ramanathan Admission10:23 Feedback Breakdown Math12:37 Two Proxies Debunked14:05 Revisiting Interannual Proxy16:02 Bad Regression Plotting17:16 Aspect Ratio Distortion23:45 OLS vs TLS Regression30:53 Negative Feedback Emerges33:22 Spencer Regression Mystery37:45 Lindzen Choi Critique41:03 Fixing Lindzen Plot51:17 Recent Andy May Example53:21 Rotate Plot Method55:19 Benchmark Slope Trick57:38 Questionable Outliers01:01:26 Proxies Fall Apart01:02:22 Lapse Rate Physics01:05:45 Tropical Hotspot Feedback01:11:10 AR6 Codependency Critique01:14:24 MODTRAN Water Vapor Test01:19:44 Emission Altitudes Explained01:25:22 Net Feedback and ECS01:27:17 Blunders and Sociology01:40:54 Q&A and Takeaway01:44:44 Bonus Coal Math Error01:47:42 Wrap UpErich Schaffer: “Water Vapor Feedback, Part One”: https://youtu.be/2O4mOf9gk-shttps://x.com/erich_schafferhttps://greenhousedefect.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
Sur Internet, l'heure exacte est une infrastructure invisible. Tant qu'elle fonctionne, personne n'y pense. Mais sans elle, les certificats expirent, les connexions sécurisées échouent, les authentifications se bloquent et les journaux de cybersécurité deviennent impossibles à exploiter.Cette synchronisation repose largement sur un protocole né en 1985 : NTP, pour Network Time Protocol. Son rôle est simple : permettre à un ordinateur, un téléphone ou un routeur de se caler sur une heure de référence. Le système fonctionne en strates. Tout en haut, on trouve des horloges atomiques ou des récepteurs GPS. En dessous, des serveurs redistribuent cette heure au reste du réseau. Le problème, c'est que la quasi-totalité de cette chaîne dépend, directement ou indirectement, du GPS américain. Or le GPS est d'abord un système militaire, contrôlé par le département de la Défense des États-Unis. Jusqu'en 2000, Washington dégradait volontairement le signal civil avec un mécanisme appelé Selective Availability. Cette dégradation a été désactivée, mais rien n'empêche théoriquement de la réactiver.Pour un humain, quelques millisecondes d'écart n'ont aucune importance. Pour un système informatique, c'est autre chose. TLS, qui sécurise les connexions HTTPS, vérifie la validité temporelle des certificats. Kerberos, très utilisé dans les entreprises, rejette les authentifications avec plus de cinq minutes de décalage. Et dans les outils de cybersécurité, une horloge fausse peut désordonner toute la chronologie d'une attaque.NTP peut aussi être détourné. Un attaquant peut décaler l'heure d'une cible, ou exploiter des serveurs mal configurés pour amplifier une attaque. En 2014, une attaque NTP avait atteint 400 gigabits par seconde contre un client de Cloudflare. Même sans attaque, une mauvaise gestion d'une seconde intercalaire avait fait tomber Reddit, LinkedIn, Mozilla ou encore Yelp en 2012. L'Europe dispose pourtant d'alternatives. Galileo diffuse un signal de temps précis. En France, l'Observatoire de Paris, via le SYRTE, maintient l'heure légale avec des horloges atomiques extrêmement fiables et propose des serveurs NTP publics. L'Allemagne, la Suède ou le Royaume-Uni ont aussi leurs références.Mais ces sources ne sont presque jamais configurées par défaut. Ni Windows, ni macOS, ni les routeurs grand public, ni les grands clouds ne les privilégient. Les textes comme NIS2 ou DORA imposent la résilience numérique, sans exiger de sources de temps souveraines. L'Europe a donc les moyens de maîtriser son heure numérique. Elle n'a simplement pas encore décidé d'en faire une priorité. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Big thanks to TryHackMe for sponsoring this video. Learn Cyber Security with Practical Labs on TryHackMe:https://tryhackme.com/DavidBombalTech Use my code DAVIDTECH25 to get 25% OFF on Annual Subscription! Dr. Mike Pound joins David Bombal to explain symmetric encryption, AES, secret keys, VPN encryption, TLS, block ciphers, stream ciphers and why encryption is one of the most important building blocks in modern cybersecurity. In this video, Mike explains what encryption actually does: it takes readable plaintext and turns it into unreadable ciphertext so that only someone with the correct secret key can decrypt it. He breaks down how symmetric encryption works, why the same key is used to encrypt and decrypt, and why algorithms like AES are used everywhere from secure websites and VPNs to BitLocker and full disk encryption. You'll learn why AES is so fast on modern CPUs, how keys interact with encryption algorithms, and why AES uses rounds of substitution and permutation to scramble data. Mike also explains the difference between block ciphers and stream ciphers, including AES, DES, Triple DES, ChaCha20 and older algorithms like RC4 and A5/1. The discussion also covers why symmetric encryption is used for bulk encryption in protocols like TLS and IPsec, why asymmetric encryption is used differently, and why you should never write your own encryption algorithm or implement your own AES code for real-world security. If you want to understand how encryption protects your data, how VPNs and secure web traffic work, and why AES is still one of the most important algorithms in cybersecurity, this is a great place to start. // Mike SOCIAL // X: / _mikepound YouTube Channel: / computerphile // YouTube Video REFERENCE //Password Cracking: Can a Rainbow table reverse a hashed password?: • Password Cracking: Can a Rainbow table rev... // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Modern Therapist's Consumer Guide: Paubox. HIPAA Compliant Email, Secure Communication, and Practice Privacy. An Interview with Hoala Greevy, Founder and CEO of Paubox Curt and Katie talk with Hoala Greevy, Founder and CEO of Paubox, about what HIPAA compliant email actually requires, where standard Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 Business Associate Agreements leave gaps, and why most secure-portal solutions fail at the inbox. Paubox is a HIPAA compliant email security platform built to deliver encrypted messages straight to the recipient's inbox, without portals, plugins, or extra clicks. Hoala explains how Paubox wraps around the email systems therapists already use, why domain ownership and TLS encryption matter, and how inbound threats like display-name spoofing affect small practices. The conversation also covers HITRUST certification, AI scraping, the Paubox Foundations, the Paubox Kahikina Scholarship supporting Native Hawaiian students in STEM, and how to evaluate a HIPAA compliant email vendor on security, reliability, and ease of use. This episode is part of our Modern Therapist's Consumer Guide series. While this interview is a paid partnership, our discussion and opinions are our own. In this episode, we discuss: - Where standard Google and Microsoft BAAs leave HIPAA compliant email gaps - Why most secure-portal solutions never get read on mobile - How TLS encryption and secure email delivery actually work - What domain ownership has to do with HIPAA compliance - How Paubox integrates with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 - Inbound threats, display-name spoofing, and ExecProtect - HITRUST certification and how to evaluate a HIPAA compliant email vendor Timestamps: - 02:18 – What Paubox does and why it was created - 05:19 – Mission, vision, and the Paubox Foundations - 08:38 – What HIPAA compliant email actually requires - 10:26 – The Google and Microsoft BAA gray area - 14:48 – What the client experience looks like - 21:09 – Inbound email security and display-name spoofing - 24:32 – Data access, HITRUST certification, and trust - 34:05 – Pricing, value, and the referral program - 38:43 – Curt and Katie Chat: Our Review of Paubox Guest Bio: Hoala Greevy is the Founder and CEO of Paubox, a leading provider of HIPAA compliant email solutions for healthcare organizations.

On Episode 262, Josh, Chris, and Mark discuss the risks of edtech tools that add generative AI without age checks or strong guardrails, share a new K12 SIX resource and rubric for security essentials, and cover email security best practices. For the main topic, the guys talk about "secure email." Districts are being asked to send more sensitive information outside the network - to parents, agencies, vendors - but there's no shared standard for what "secure email" even means in K12. TLS encryption in transit isn't the same as end-to-end encryption. A password-protected PDF isn't a secure channel. And most staff don't know the difference. ———— Sponsored by: PowerGistics: How K-12 Charging Models Impact Chromebook Sustainability Textbooks Didn't have Cables Bring Chromebooks Back to the Classroom, but NOT Carts!

Pace, an LDS Church general authority, describing to a committee of the church the complaints of sixty members of the church that said they had been subjected to SRA by family members and other church members.There are many people today who still deny such atrocities, so let's dig a little deeper with Ben McClintock of the Tree of Liberty Society.

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, we dive into the fundamentals of Windows security, an essential topic for anyone preparing for IT certifications like the CompTIA A+ Core 2 exam. Understanding Windows security is critical for IT skills development and technology education, as it functions as an ongoing trust engine that verifies user identity and access permissions seamlessly.We explore the underlying architecture of Windows security, moving beyond rote memorization to help you reason through security protocols and apply them both on the job and during your tech exam prep. Whether you're studying in a group or solo, this guide will strengthen your comprehension of complex security concepts and better prepare you for your IT certification exams.We connect the CIA triad to the real Windows controls you touch every day, then break down identity and access management step by step: identification, authentication, authorization, and access control. From there, we get practical about access control lists, implicit deny, and least privilege, including why over-privileged accounts turn small mistakes into big incidents. We also clear up a common confusion that derails newer techs: hashing versus encryption, plus where symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, digital signatures, and TLS key exchange show up in real life.Then we move into the account and admin side of Windows: local accounts versus Microsoft accounts, the power of security groups, quick account management with Net User, and why User Account Control is both a security control and a behavior check. We close with an enterprise view of privileged access management, just-in-time admin access, Zero Trust, and modern multi-factor authentication like authenticator apps and one-time passwords. This is Act One of a two-parter, so we also preview the next step where Windows turns into a full enterprise security platform. Subscribe, share this with a friend studying IT, and leave a review with your biggest Windows security question.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

This week, Jake and Travis sit down with journalist Will Sommer to unpack his investigation into the New Age wellness empire selling stacks of glowing TV monitors as a cure‑all. Jason Shurka, the brains behind the multi-million dollar operation, used the funds to bankroll a brand new streaming platform, Unifyd TV, whose offerings include documentaries made by QAnon promoters. According to the promoters of this quack cure, their work is approved by a secret society of powerful entities who are dedicated to elevating humankind called “The Light Systems” cabal or “TLS.” One member of The Light Systems, a figure called “Ray,” is regularly filmed while wearing a face-concealing hoodie and gloves in order to preserve his anonymity in interviews with Shurka available on Unifyd TV.
