It's a brief holiday episode, one where I intended to seed January discussion & spread holiday cheer...but damn, what a few weeks we've had in the news.
Impeachment - A great topic no matter what time of year it is, particularly when you have a narcissistic, authoritarian tyrant at the center of it. One who is often the first to document his own crimes inadvertently through his “great and unmatched wisdom”. Carnac the shitty POTUS.
I wish I could ignore it, but I can't.
The Illusion of Privacy & The Great Hack
I've been dropping the name for weeks. Cambridge Analytica. "That's old news Larry!". I know, but so many of you were just as oblivious then as you are now...and it's even worse now, despite so many advancements we've made to help you protect yourself.
January Topical Links:
- The Great Hack documentary, Netflix
- Amazon & Ring.com Under Attack by privacy activists over recent incidents.
- Ratio of CCTV cameras to U.S. citizens
- Identifying & Tackling Manipulated Media, a primer from Reuters & the Facebook Journalism Project
- Finland is making its online AI crash course free to the world
- NY Times Special Feature - Opinion: Twelve Million Phones, One Dataset, Zero Privacy
Listen, these aren't funny subjects. In fact, nothing funny at all about them, IMHO, which is why I'm pushing them off until January, 2020.
Do yourself a favor...Disconnect for the Holidays
At the very least, change your focus. Drop the tech sh** and national & global issues for a few, and focus on those that matter most to you. Spend time with those you love. Hug more. Ski, hike, jump out of a plane...whatever & whomever you love...do them & it more this holiday season.
You'll be glad you did.
Be safe out there doing it, my friends. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 😎❤️
