Ramadan ends tonight & I’m getting the usual questions, so lemme clear things up. If anyone says “Eid Mubarak,” to you, here are perfectly good replies:
•Eid Kareem!
•Khair Mubarak!
•Eid Mubarak to you!
•I will buy you tacos for Eid!❤️

(OK last one may be apocryphal but I stand by it😅)

EID MUBARAK!

🧵 As a former Republican consultant who left in 2015, I'm often asked why Trump and his minions are willingly destroying science, K12 education, universities, international organizations, public broadcasting, and social welfare institutions.

There are many reasons, but the main ones are psychological rather than ideological. They struggle with abstract thinking and are afraid of the world...

I just saw somebody refer to a human person, like an actual meat-and-bone possessed-of-inalienable-rights-and-inherent-dignity human person, as "agentic".

Bernard Avishai once famously said that the danger of computers is not that they will eventually get as smart as people, but that we will meanwhile agree to meet them halfway, and I think about that every day. Not just in terms of smarts, but dignity, kindness and decency.

You shouldn't have to follow up with a story about how candidate 'B' once burned the steaks at a family BBQ."

Ok, here's the deal on the "YubiKey cloning attack" stuff:

 Yes, a way to recover private keys from #YubiKey 5 has been found by researchers.

But the attack *requires*:

👉 *physically opening the YubiKey enclosure*

👉 physical access to the YubiKey *while it is authenticating*

👉 non-trivial electronics lab equipment

I cannot stress this enough:

✨ In basically every possible scenario you are safer using a YubiKey or a similar device, than not using one. ✨
