Slightly NSFW The UK government has pulled an ad campaign that encouraged retraining for a job in cyber-security.
The ad appears to have been an emission of the CyberFirst programme at the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, an effort that encourages young people to consider acquiring the skills they’ll need to pursue a career in cyber-stuff.
The centre yesterday issued ads on social media that depicted people going about their business with captions suggesting that their next gig could involve a not-entirely-improbable shift to the exciting frontiers of infosec.

California outlaws wording, webpage buttons designed to hoodwink people into handing over their personal data
California’s Attorney General has updated the state’s data privacy regulations to outlaw shady semantics designed to confuse folks into handing over their data.
In an update to August’s California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the rules have now changed again. The modifications deal with so-called dark patterns, where tech companies use misleading language and site designs to push people into choosing options that share more personal data.
But:
These additions by the Attorney General’s office are possibly designed to persuade Californians that it is on top of the situation and getting ahead of tech companies efforts to bypass the law – and so encourage them to vote against Proposition 24, which would be something a lot of tech outfits would be pleased to see.

I think they actually just blew it up. That’s what they do a lot of the time. If it’s anything unstable evacuation and detonating them is the best option.
That’s just based on the words in the report and what usually happens.

I guess they would be a bit unwilling if it was too close!
But they are often quite sensibly eager to blow the fuck out of buildings rather than themselves. I think of it like how people were talking about training first responders to patch people up under fire for mass shootings versus my training where in every scenario the first thing you do is check that the danger is over and it’s safe to offer help. Otherwise in the test you fail or in real life you add to the toll.
