Juicy Target: Big Cloudy Agglomerations of Virtual and Tangible Gizmos

What’s the implication?

Forget Go to My PC vulnerabilities. Old news. The bad actors may have the opportunity to derail certain industrial and manufacturing processes. What happens when a chemical plant gets the wrong instructions.

Remember the Port of Texas City mishap? A tragic failure. Accidental.

But Citrix style breaches combined with “we did not know” may presage intentional actions in the future.

Yep, cloudy with a chance of pain.

Federating Data: Easy, Hard, or Poorly Understood Until One Tries It at Scale?

One article explained that there’s a new way to deal with data federation. Always optimistic, I took a look at “Data-Driven Decision-Making Made Possible using a Modern Data Stack.” The revolution is to load data and then aggregate. The old way is to transform, aggregate, and model. Here’s a diagram from DAS43. A larger version is available at this link.

Berto Jongman: Tim Berners-Lee Thinks Web Can Be Fixed — PBI: Baloney.

Tim Berners-Lee still believes the web can be fixed, even today

Phi Beta Iota: The article is worth reading — with high praise for what Berners-Lee did in the first place, we have to call BULLSHIT on his current claims. The Internet in its present state is like a syphilitic whore well past her prime, ready for a bullet in the head.

Bloomberg remains out of touch?

Putin Wants His Own Internet

A new law would create a single command post from which authorities can manage—and halt—information flows across Russian cyberspace.

ADMIN: Tip of the Hat to YouTube for Finally Taking Down Thieves

IO Impotency
Robert David STEELE Vivas

Thank you all for your many emails.  YouTube did NOT take down “my” channel. At my insistence, backed up by a very credible threat to file a federal lawsuit against them, they finally took down three channels that were stealing my identity, stealing my living performances exclusive to others, violating copyright, and practicing deception including the manipulation of my words and image to convey false messages. YouTube has a SYSTEM-WIDE PROBLEM — this is being done to hundreds of others.  Entrepreneurs in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Viet-Nam particularly, have figured out how to monetize clips with click-bait titles.  As I pointed out to YouTube, they were complicit in this financial fraud and I would hold them accountable in federal court, seeking $5M in damages.  They finally understood I was serious and took appropriate action.

The same entrepreneurs have quickly created other channels, I expect YouTube will eventually figure out how to stop this automatically.  The only real authorized interviews with me can be seen via the below directory:
