Andrew Auernheimer, Internet troll and hacker
POPULARITY
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, long time critics of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, followed Weev's trial - but did not get involved. For the appeal, however, the organization decided to step it. But althought the EFF had some strong points against the CFAA - the justices, appearntly, had something very different on their mind.

Much like Aaron Swartz did, Andrew "weev" Auernheimer fought against the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a law both men belived to be dangerous and unjust. But unlike Swartz, the internet's own boy, weev is an unapologetic troll who spread bile and chaos wherever he goes, a man who seemed to take pleasure in making others miserable. His fight raises a thorny question: when a bad person fights for a good cause, how should we feel about it? Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
Bord na Móna is issuing a final call for applications to its Accelerate Green GROW programme, a leading accelerator programme designed to support the growth of sustainable enterprises in Ireland. The closing date for applications is fast approaching, with submissions due by November 22nd, 2024. Accelerate Green GROW is delivered by Bord na Móna in conjunction with Resolve Partners to equip promising Irish business owners with the skills and knowledge to scale their companies in Ireland and beyond. Accelerate Green GROW will commence in January 2025 and is suitable for early-stage enterprises, innovative start-ups and SMEs looking to scale or pivot. Successful applicants will be brought through a series of immersive learning sessions delivered by industry leaders, entrepreneurs, potential investors, and successful Irish business representatives, and invaluable business insights will be received from the Bord na Móna leadership team. Since its launch in 2022, 50 businesses have successfully participated in the Accelerate Green programmes. Many former participants have reported significant and sustainable progress in their companies since completing the programmes, and the alumni have collectively raised €10 million in venture capital to date. According to recent research among the Accelerate Green alumni, over 90% of past participants have more confidence in their ability as business leaders to scale their companies successfully. Additionally, 75% of past participants have grown their workforce since completing the programme, and three in four have scaled their business operations in Ireland. Graeme Thompson, CFO of Weev and former Accelerate Green GROW participant: "Accelerate Green was an outstanding opportunity for us to expand and scale our EV solutions business. The programme covers a broad range of customer-centric topics in great depth. It helped us understand how to demonstrate the tangible financial benefits of our sustainability solutions to customers and how to position Weev for global growth. Bord na Móna's own transition to a climate solutions provider underscores the depth of their expertise and the genuine purpose behind the programme. I highly recommend Accelerate Green to any sustainable business aiming to scale, grow, and succeed." Applications can be made at www.accelerategreen.ie.

Infamous hacker/troll Andrew "Weev" Auernheimer comes on to talk about his life and the state of the world.
I've always known that General BetrayUs was a shithead, but the people who continued to support him because of his military record must be feeling abused and betrayed right now. According to Petraeus: "Yesterday afternoon, an Army spokesperson said that Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy is now “open to a bipartisan discussion” on renaming the bases (with Confederate names). That’s the right call. Once the names of these bases are stripped of the obscuring power of tradition and folklore, renaming the installations becomes an easy, even obvious, decision." Today, the pretext for "stripping your installations of the obscuring power of tradition and folklore" is being done in the name of fighting the racial injustice symbolized by the Confederacy. Tomorrow, it'll be done to ALL public institutions in the name of fighting the racial injustice embodied by your very existence. I wish I was kidding. We'll also be talking about Weev being wanted for arrest, our rapid descent into Weimerica, and the other news of the day. This is EPISODE 451 of So to Speak w/ Jared Howe!

You're about to hear an interview I recorded with Bob Clark. He currently teaches law at the US Naval Academy, but he's been doing military law for a long time, even serving as the operational attorney for the US Army Cyber Command at one point. I posted his talk yesterday... he touched on the Weev vs AT&T trial in that and I thought it would be interesting to get his perspective on the CFAA, precisely because it's not the sort of thing he normally concerns himself with. He has less of an agenda than a defence attorney or a prosecutor. (If you haven't heard the episode of the regular Risky Business podcast where I had a chat with Weev and recapped that whole thing you might want to check it out because we reference it in this interview. It's here.)
