Crowdjustice

Wellicht zullen gevestigde belangen (weer ten onrechte … DNB-kneuterpietluttigheid-waarschijnlijk-uit-doodsangst-uit-onbegrip (hoewel dat d… terecht, en gewenst?) vs California State…) gaan waarschuwen voordat de vergelijking met de huidige feitelijke situatie voldoende fundamenteel en objectief is gemaakt, maar dit is natuurlijk een interessante nieuwigheid; crowdsourcing justice. En voor degenen die jury-rechtspraak iets engs vinden wat wat de boer niet lust, leze nee bestudere dit werk eens.
Plots komt zo veel samen… Vreugde alomom zo veel culturele vooruitgang.

COPE a Nope

Hm, this piece seems to miss the point entirely…

Because the move to BYOD had/has (sic) nothing to do with operability. But all with power. And speed. COPE will be much more of the same, but with an even more inexplainable awkward speed/flexibility/functionality trade-off. With nothing of (e.g., the European current and forthcoming Regulations’ and practices’) privacy in mind, just pipe dreams of regained totalitarian control. Heh, if that floats your boat, everyone’s including or except your boat has left the harbor because ships are safe there but it isn’t what ships are for. If you can’t see the analogy … you’ll be sunk.

And then, there’s a pic:

Jargon watch

Out of band from the Wired / Tired / Expired series, an in between jargon watch notification:

Wall huggers

The dorks in public places sitting against a wall near a power plug, not comfortably on a chair at a desk or so, in order to get juice for their cell phones. As in this clip, and others, and in your environment, too. Don’t become a hobo.
Nopenopenopenope I know it isn’t as new even, but some might have missed it. Hence the notification…

After which I leave you with:

Segregatie in werk

Meer State-of-the-Art Watson-like Big Data Analysis is niet te krijgen (a.k.a mijn hersens), leveren een opvallend patroon, ‘dus’ is het waar:
Vacatures voor ‘control’-gerelateerde functies (van modellenHAHAbouwers via ‘controlHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAlers’ tot auditors) lijken steeds meer in de Provincie te vinden en steeds minder in de grote steden (a.k.a. Amsterdam). In de laatste duiken überhaupt weinig vacatures op, omdat de werkelijk nieuwe economie niet op zo’n formeel mechanism leunt; via-via- en informele cooptieve coöperatie drijven de innovatie en werkgelegenheid.
Áls dit in cijfers wordt gevangen, zullen die de verschuiving onderschatten omdat de nieuwe ontwikkelingen in hun diversiteit juist zo veel minder in hokjes te stoppen vallen. De anti-these van al wat vastloopt, van al waarin opkomende economieën (en voorheen science-fictionachtige binnenlandse sector’lets) juist níét in roeren en daardóór kracht hebben…

OK, OK, een plaatje tot slot:

[Klassiek onklassiek]

Quick note: Privacy is about Info, not Data

Just a quick note to drop it, here, already before my holiday. May elaborate on the subject later, in a much extended form. The idea being:

Privacy is about Information, not about Data. Privacy sits on the divide, or jump, from data to information, as in this previous post.

Data doesn’t mean a thing. And yes there’s use in protecting data, but that’s only part of the picture. To discuss ‘directly or indirectly identifying data’ one needs to understand the value, and information, in data combinations. So you’ll have to keep the information value in mind always.

Which also means that if you discuss topics with various categorically-not-understanding-anything-other-than-bonuses stakeholders under the common header of personal data protection, you have lost connection to them. By giving up before you started; they will not ‘get it’. They know ‘data’ only in the abstract, as something to stay away from. If you don’t keep the (distinction AND connection) in mind and exepelainify it extensively ‘externally’, you lose.

Same, if you don’t bridge the gap ‘internally’ in your in-group. Only when an exhaustive search for all meaning of any combination of data has been completed, would one know what data elements could possibly be necessary for identification and hence are privacy-sensitive.
This would probably set the threshold very low indeed. But hey, that’s your problem right there. Offer perfect protection of get sued into oblivion.

I’ll return on this. Thank you:

Wired / Tired / Expired, July 2014 edition

[This one I do know ’cause I’m from Barça]

So, here’s the July edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews, a mixed bag and a shortie due to Summer:

WIRED	TIRED	EXPIRED
Developing IoT methodology, step by step	Hyping IoT and wearables, not knowing the difference	Hyping Big Data
As here.	Just track this, this and this page.	Do I really need to explain this ..?

Security breaches are normal	APTs	Privacy
We’re getting used to massive data leakage; don’t care too much anymore. Outrage ..? Not so much. Just mass abandonment.	’cause they’re so hard to tackle, people lose interest. But still they’re out there. In with you.	Yeah, yeah. New EU regulations will mean massive changes. But only after they will arrive. Someday.

SBR/XBRL (still) incl Continuous (extremely (ad hoc) sliced and/or granualar) Assurance	Services diversification	Quarterly EBITDA
Finally, finally it begins to dawn; the breakthrough of ideas re this, as prof. Verkruijsse already knew.	Will lead to fuzzy positioning, same price pitch, bland results.	Really? Who would still be interested …? The geriatric demographic will no longer be interest(ed).

Business canvases (rapidly changing)	No business plans, just an idea to pitch to VCs	Business cases
Since the world changes so fast, and you should know where you come from and where you’re (thinking you’re) going even if the picture isn’t crystal clear and constantly changing.	The odd side out; too vague, will not be acceptable.	Show me one that isn’t a great big lie.

Suits	Good Wife	Matlock (reruns)
Witty, yet showing vulnerabilities and for once, somewhat subtle pointers to actual slightly vulnerable personalities.	Has gone into repeat mode.	Just stale, man.

Locally produced	Superfoods	Wheat grass
Nearshoring of your food supply; keeping the logistics to a minimum, and close to your environment.	You did not miss the bombardment of debunking scientific articles on these, did you?	Goes in with Birkenstocks (see below)

Vinho Verde	Grüner Veltliner / Prosecco	Rosé
Ah, how refreshing for the season!	Brosecco, both. Austria tried but, see, it’s not (only) about the grape, it’s much much more also about Quality.	Which always, always, ends up being way too sweet when ‘unfreezing’ to doable temperatures.

Havaianas / Juichpak (tie)	Regular flipflops	Birkenstocks
W now, but will be forgotten next month…	Dork-style. Or top right of:	Don’t forget the goat hair socks…

OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?

A well-designed time arrow

Now here‘s for some well-designed time arrow; unlike a fly…

OSSTMMPerimeter ..?

Just a note; was struck by the OSSTMM approach towards the structure of infrastructure. [Disclaimer] though I am quite a fan of the OSSTMM approach (and do want to write up tons of whitepapers linking it with my ideas for moving forward in the InfoSec field without having to revert to #ditchcyber bla), I feel there’s a snag in it:
The analysis part seems to still take a perimetered, though onion, approach. The Defense in Breath is there, for sure, but still the main (sic) focus is on the primary axis of the access path(s). Does this still work with the clouds out there and all, focused as they are on principalled agnostics on where your data and ‘systems’ might hang out?

OK yes now I will go study the OSSTMM materials in depth to see whether this is just my impression and I’m proven horribly wrong, or …

So i’ll leave you with:

[Hardly a street, next to Yonge]

XP, anyone ..?

Guess that still using XP isn’t as much of a threat when you understand this…

Because, for the pics, I always mix (sic) up this:

with this:

WIoTables

Am I too late with this post, or are people still mixing up the Internet of Things and Wearables ..?

First, a picture:

[Rarely seen Cala, at ON]

Because we’re talking quite distinct things. Yes, there’s a crossover area where e.g., the sensors or ‘reflectors’ we wear, operate in the IoT realm of ambient intelligence.

But for starters, there’s wearables. Mostly, human-to-Matrix sensors / Matrix-to-human feedback interfaces. Hooking you up in a blue pill world. Oh yes so helpful; often providing morsels of value like Likes through displaying to all out there, mostly to trolls, your (under)achievements. Or calling attention to your slacking; business can’t wait! (You’re not essential though, by the way, easily dumped by the wayside if some human or not algorithm plays it that way).

And there’s the IoT, sensors, networks, actuators, and Central Scrutinisers (1979 mind you!!) that form the Matrix itself. Out of control, soon to be out of control of any human or (alternatively) TLA. Soon to be run by its transient Singularity.

Now, don’t make that error again!
