• The tech industry layoffs are basically an instance of social contagion, in which companies imitate what others are doing. If you look for reasons for why companies do layoffs, the reason is that everybody else is doing it. Layoffs are the result of imitative behavior and are not particularly evidence- based. I've had people say to me that they know layoffs are harmful to company well-being, let alone the well-being of employees, and don't accomplish much, but everybody is doing layoffs and their board is asking why they aren't doing layoffs also. Do vou think lavoffs in tech are some indication of a tech bubble bursting or the company preparing for a recession? Could there be a tech recession? Yes. Was there a bubble in valuations? Absolutely. Did Meta overhire? Probably. But is that why they are laying people off? Of course not. Meta has plenty of money. These companies are all making money. They are doing it because other companies are doing it. (remote)

Just had a discussion with someone where they insisted that they read a cryptography spec I wrote for a protocol and I insisted that I had no memory of writing it, up until when they sent me the dense 15 page LaTeX PDF of the spec.

When you've done 300+ cryptography audits...

There's no #BandcampFriday until Feb. 3rd, but it's still #FirstFridayMusic here.

I received Brian Eno's latest "FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE" as a Christmas gift. It is moody and contemplative and I am still processing it.

Apparently you can listen to it here too:

I joined at the end of the year but I'm just getting my feet under me, what with the holiday schedule and all. I have met most of the @tailscale team now though and I gotta say, they rule

just in terms of hourly rates, society values few things more than "deciding not to go to a concert next month"

"On January 6, 1959, Richard and Mildred Loving were convicted of interracial marriage, given a one-year suspended sentence, and banished from the state of Virginia...

After marrying in Washington, D.C., in 1958, the Lovings returned to their native Caroline County, Virginia, to build a home and start a family. Their union was a criminal act in Virginia because... the state's Racial Integrity Act, passed in 1924, criminalized interracial marriage."
