👏 Duo never had noncompetes, which I felt were immoral and offensive (though standard in Michigan). Culture, opportunity, & rewards retained our folks, not some lousy contract.
1. Today
@FTC
issued a final rule banning noncompetes for workers across the country.
The rule will ensure that Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market.

Dan Kaminsky’s Loveletter to Hacking
This thread is absolutely a love letter to everything I’ve treasured, being an Infosec nerd. A *lot* of people were kinder than they had to be. I’m proud to say I did everything I knew to return the favor, and not ashamed to admit I didn’t always know how.
But I can document :)

Among the meta-problems infosec has to get over 1st:
1. Blaming users
2. Learned helplessness
3. Zero-risk thinking
Among the problems infosec has no clue how to solve:
1. phishing
2. SQL injection
3. authentication
