Ugh - I cant stand fire ants. Had a good few years with just the black ones but the red ones seem to be back on the property this summer. Time to become the destroyer.
The push to write the final section, brought to you by my goth childhood. https://youtu.be/I16ZTqlI-CM
@D_I_Studio Oooh, this looks interesting. I've just finished initial research on IoT, food, tracking, sensors, upstream/downstream & economic issues in the supply chain (writing the report now). Would you consider an executive researcher or similar as part of the team?
@sserb People are not comfortable with uncertainty.

Today was a rough day for the management consultant. He tried to eat a real live snake on the porch, then got his eyeballs deeply inspected and was given a shot. He needs some serious snuggle-soft talking-petting time. I am happy to oblige.
@D_I_Studio It would be a pleasure to do that! How should we be in touch?
This makes me miss @JoeBorfo and @swingfromastar also cc @Reverend_Dak https://youtu.be/sJC05MPEpV8. We need to get together soon.
@wildbell @JoeBorfo @swingfromastar @Reverend_Dak BORFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be still my cacophonist heart. Damn, I miss those days.
Making up my dream DID method for this report I'm writing. Hey, I'm a futurist, I can make up technology if I want to!!! #decentralizedidentifiers
Super geeking about about GS1 identifiers, which are all around us. I'm pretty sure you have NO CLUE what they are, unless you are part of the super secret society. The digital biome of our stuff.
Bunbun to left, roadrunner to the right, Archibald watches from the middle with the screen door open..... waiting impatiently for his sunset walk.
@auntmel @gs1 @GS1_US Melanie! At my #identiverse talk, I asked my audience, "Who has heard of GS1?" Only my co-author raised her hand. I was like.... bwahahahahha, just wait my identity pretties. So much opportunity!

@nobantu Cheers my friend!
The dawning realization that people who came to my talks expected me to tell them the future but I like to provoke people to creating it themself. Thinking I will do a deck where I tell them the future now.
@evanpro Exactly. People want you to tell them the future, and there are many that oblige. Then journalists write articles about how the future didn't turn out the way people said and complain. I want to smack them all.
I'd be less annoyed if I could talk about all the work I've done over the past year. Le sigh.

EARTHQUAKE
Felt that #earthquake all the way in the Mojave!!!
From Los Angeles to Las Vegas and deep in the Mojave! https://twitter.com/USGS_Quakes/status/1146835061511196672
Fun fact: I live in the most earthquake proof housing structure possible: a geodesic dome. #futurist #resilient #bringonthequakes
@Reverend_Dak Yeah, pretty crazy to be texting with a friend in LA and we both felt it!!!
I love #earthquake social media. <3
LOL, wondering how non-native Californians are reacting to #earthquake.
@amoration @nicoleradziwill Yup, it was just north of me near Death Valley - closer to me than LA or Vegas.
My earthquake experience for @EmLindley @nicoleradziwill : I was sitting on my couch text arguing about Austrian economics w/ @patrick99e99, looking for my rebuttal evidence in the @TheEconomist. I notice my couch kinda moving side to side a bit... 1/4
I look up (to my dome structure) and see it kinda shaking a bit. I realize then it's an earthquake. It feels like a 3 or 4. The rolling continues. I frantically try to find my Twitter window to tweet #earthquake. 2/4
Things keep rolling and shaking. This is a long one. It's strong, undulating, my couch feels like a Disneyland ride. I am calm, enjoying the movement. The dog barely stirs, nothing even drops, my death star IKEA light barely swinging. 3/4
Then, it stops. A bit of relief, I suppose. Time stops when the earthquakes, and I do enjoy that moment of nothing else matters. And the coming together of the mutual experience to share #earthquake on social media. Until the next one, my friends. <3 4/4
PS. I just happen to live in the best human structure for an earthquake - a geodesic dome. That's not the reason I live in one, but it's an added bonus.
@EmLindley All good. See my tweet just for you. :-)
IDK about you, but when people freak out about some thing that could kill them, I think, hmmm, would that be an interesting way to die? Earthquake? Sure. Burning Man? Oh yeah. Eaten by coyotes? None of my friends would be surprised....
PPS. Come visit Dome Sweet Dome, my friends. Campari cocktails, desert sunsets, supply chain advice by Sir Archibald, and all the chill you can handle! Happy Independence Day Friends!
@EmLindley LOL!
@kimdhamilton Love it! But please no heart attack on the standards call.
@kimdhamilton @rekt0x Is the dog self sovereign?
San Berdoo County and California 8th district is literally the only place in California that doesn’t have a Democratic challenger on the ticket. That should really change with the gentrification of the high desert. Literally the reddest in the state - and now I live here FT. https://twitter.com/nicoleradziwill/status/1146846871069122567
@cqwww Driving 100+ mpr in the 100+ Mojave Desert holding a refreshing Campari with soda + whatever experiments I’m into cocktail. Served best with an impersonation of Hunter S Thompson. ;-)
@kimdhamilton @rekt0x @SovrinID Archibald is very curious!
@timkastelle @kimdhamilton @rekt0x Dogs can do a SNIF biometric based identity proofing and then issue a verified credential. #internetofdogs #Iamnotevenjoking
@timkastelle @kimdhamilton @rekt0x Dogs can also leave a LIK biometric identifier on an item or human, that they or another dog can monitor via the paw-mesh-network.
@dzhuvi @EmLindley @nicoleradziwill @patrick99e99 @TheEconomist Well he is a management consultant as his day job, so idk????
The supply chain starts with extracting raw materials from the earth and ends on Amazon (or your cheap retailer of choice). All that cheap stuff is cheap because somewhere along the supply chain someone or something is exploited. For your consumer gain. And profits. https://twitter.com/monikabielskyte/status/1146874582583955457
I love to watch how people respond when I tell them Archibald is a management consultant specializing in proof of origin on the supply chain. They’re like, wait, that’s your dog? Yes it is. He is very opinionated about improving transparency.
Stopped by @boosorganicoven for the soft opening today and picked up this lil baby. Delish! Thank you. Wishing you lots of success on your bakery! ❤️🌟🥧🍦☕️🥰 @ Boo's Organic Oven https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzgqx0wBs3K/?igshid=1xv85y5tasgv8
Fascinating research. https://youtu.be/51uHNgmnLWI via @FuturityNews More https://www.futurity.org/deepfake-videos-openface-2097842/ #deepfakes #faceswapping #softbiometrics
@zmolek There are several issues that can be addressed at the retailer level. For one, there is not transparency of these exploitations, consumers literally have no idea. But more sinister, is that retailers, and pretty much everyone in the market economy is focused on sales and profits.
@zmolek Profits are the market incentive. So we think we can buy these things and have no awareness of the consequences, because all those consequences have been hidden to us, in the name of profits.
@zmolek Also thank you for your kind words. :-) I'm just about to come up for air on my supply chain research.
Isn't the apocalypse wonderful?I can't unthink the things I've learned. Buying things, using things and throwing things out will never be the same. It would be easier to die than change all the ways, I must change.
I'm probably gonna regret this tweet... Libertarian Twitter, what is the libertarian take on nationalized healthcare? Please share links to back up your opinions (I accept Reason citations). Thanks!

Yeah, well I totally missed that earthquake, I was busy walking around my property thinking deep thoughts as I looked at the sunset...
@nicoleradziwill I think I just thought it was a little more difficult to walk around because I was thinking about a conundrum.... it didn't even register tbh, I was looking at the sunset. All fine in the dome.

@BaldingsWorld Will be interesting to watch if there are any employment practices/hiring/firing activities post your release. Did you take a baseline of these activities pre-release to compare to?
Working on a final edit, and wondering, can you be a pro-government libertarian? Strangely, that may be my political leanings... and how different is that from an anarco-socialist/mutualist? Again, my beliefs do not fit cleanly into any bucket, even the unusual ones.
@balajis Also black swans, black elephants, wild cards or whatever you call, are not as rare as is lead to be believed. (I have studied/tracked positive wildcards for years.)
For all practical purposes, I've finished the latest bit of research/analysis & am "available for new engagements." We (my company, The Purple Tornado) does strategic intelligence & foresight research. We delight in finding answers to tough questions.
We specialize in research/analysis in digital identity, blockchain, security (individual & national security), privacy + more &etc. The past, present and future implications, impacts, etc.
I especially like big hairy hard complex questions/projects. I also enjoy/do consulting on company/product strategy and revenue models for emerging technology - things that blend human stuff, technology stuff, economic stuff, and environmental stuff.
Curious about engage me/my company? Let's talk. I work at several levels of engagement. Contact me via DM or email address.
Hit two massive writing deadlines today that have been stressing me out for 3+ months. Course Archibald is pissed that I've been sitting at my computer all day, but what he doesn't know is we're going on a roadtrip next month. Dayam, feels good to hit those deadlines! #bossladyin
@brianbehlendorf I've never heard a libertarian take that attitude...
So... starting to think about August roadtripping post Defcon. NorCal wine country, Tahoe and then I’m kinda getting a hankering for some green fields and thunderstorms... Salt Lake City en route to Texas or Iowa?? Got truck, dog and appetite for adventure. Where should I go?
Omg - how could I forget my two year anniversary of being the man I always wanted to date?!? I know people say you can’t buy happiness - but you can when it’s a 4x4 Tacoma and you’re a tomboy. Yaaasss. Best desert life evah! Here’s to 18 more.

@markrhill @brianbehlendorf hmm.... interesting. And we're in a time where most people lack emotional self-awareness, understanding, control or resiliency. So system 1 unconsciously hijacks the train and goes off the rails.
@lpeterman I'm completely and utterly satisfied with my Tacoma. It fits my use case perfectly. It's the same size as an older Tundra anyway. :-)
@lpeterman Yeah you def need more towing power for horses!! Now when I get my camels I might upgrade. :-)
@AOC My favorite is the Mojave National Preserve. Kelso Dunes, Joshua Trees, Mojave Road, Cima Dome, wild horses, caverns, expansive views of timeless geology. I'd be happy to show you around or give tips for authentic, leave no trace adventures.
I'm tired of economic arguments saying the young (millennial/genX) need to pay for the old (boomer), re: health care/social services. There are lateral entities that participate in the system that have primarily extracted value w/out contributing to their exploited commons...
This particularly annoys me when boomer economists write about demographic impacts and apply their theory that the millennials/Xers/Zers are going to pay for all their stuff. Have they not noticed all the alternative monetary experiments in crypto???

It’s been two months since I heard the coyotes. I desperately miss them. I hope they weren’t killed. There are no Sphinx months either. Birds ate them all?? Rabbits are in overload. So many birds in my flock. Ecosystem out of equilibrium.

Good Omens was OMG so good. I was sad for a bit, cause who doesn't want a relationship like that. But then I realized I *do* have a relationship like that, so I texted him, because these best friends of your life are really special, even if you don't talk as much as you used to.
I <3, I <3 Huckabees. One of my top 3 films of all time. It's so.... perfect and real and fresh and relevant after all this time. Also, nostalgia for LA of that time.

@roxannedarling Pali Verdes and mesquites do well out here. Also pomegranate and surprisingly a type of desert pine.
@roxannedarling I also have a pear, two apricot, a fruit salad (peach, plum, nectarine) and grapefruit. The apricot did lovely, the plum was great, but I was gone the week they were ready, pear was blighted by Feb snow, grapefruit, we'll see.
@roxannedarling I'm exploring putting in an apricot orchard (and more plums) and some date palms. Maybe another or two pomegranates. (Oh yeah, my pomegranates also have lots of fruit). Happy to share more ideas when I see you next month in Santa Fe!! :-D
Almost every tweet today has typos - I blame the three hours of yardwork/planting in 100+ degree weather. I may have cooked my brain a bit much.
@dzhuvi I wrote a book on making dreams a reality.
At some point, you just have to surrender, and finish the thing. Some jerk is gonna find whatever typo I/my team missed in our 6+ passes. You only need to be perfect if you're a woman, and perfection is impossible.

"New revenue streams" hmmmmm, wonder if they may be talking about business models around digital identity.... #librahearing #libra
The impact of inconclusive corporate identity? Millions & billions of dollars in unpaid taxes. This #PanamaPapers article goes into the numbers. Conclusive corporate identity is a gap identified in this DHS funded report: https://bit.ly/NPEreport #digitalidentity #legalidentity https://twitter.com/ICIJorg/status/1150827540333903872
If the majority of members and benefactors of Libra are American companies, why is it founded in Switzerland? BS answer about it being a global platform for a global audience. Strangely no other US company that is a global platform does this... I'm skeptical.
Great questions about money laundering, terrorist financing and sanctions by the Senator "To say you are going to implement AML and KYC is one thing, but I want to see specifics..."
@davidzmorris I didn't note it. Will they release a transcript?
@davidzmorris Correct.
Interesting to see individuals taken to task for an organizational identity. Who do you take to task for an organization? A human. But which human, when there are many humans authorized to make decisions & take actions on behalf of an organization.
Again, the mention of, once we get everyone using CaLibra wallet, then we'll offer other (vague) products and services with banks and financial institutions. Hmmmm.... what are banks looking into a lot? Look at Zelle....
And, oh interesting, Capital One sent 100+ people to Identiverse? What are new banks/financial institutions looking at ???? digital identity. And I know from my research that digital identity is HOT HOT HOT, with tons of noobs getting into the space.
So it's not a stretch that digital identity is the long game for Facebook. Global digital identity, shifting themselves into an infrastructure play (like mobile phone networks).
I do believe that they don't necessarily know what these new products and services are... we are still very early days and only some new models are emerging.
But there should be concerns about a global digital identity product developed by Facebook, notably because they are unskilled in the nuances of digital identity (their missteps w/ real names policy).
And second, their not very nice non-collaboration with the identity community, in stealing the digital identity model of 3rd party sign on, and not being a good part of the community, nor contributing to the digital identity commons.
In writing these tweets, I see, FB's past success was based on digital identity (as a mega identity provider), so this could be an analogy to how they will use CaLibra to do digital identity, which will lead to unintended consequences as large as the ones we're dealing with today

So I'm trying to be more aware and reduce the amount of plastic trash I generate, and it's so depressing. There is no way I can be zero plastic waste or even like 50% less plastic waste. Even my damn Kombucha bottle has a plastic cap and safety wrap.
It doesn't really hit home how much we, each, individually are responsible for this plastic trash heap we live in, because it's just little bits here and there, things we don't even think about, like a salad bag or single serve container.
I'm trying really hard to remember to think about this when I'm at a grocery store or shopping... it's just not the same mindset to be aware of the trash externality when you're shopping at Target or Trader Joes.
I notice it more when I get it home - maybe I wouldn't have tried these new cookies, if I had thought that they were in a plastic container, inside a plastic bag. I mean, they totally are not worth the plastic trash they generate that they're wrapped in.
My poor attempt to be aware of this just makes me depressed and think there is absolutely nothing we can do individually to change this, we have to change the system and the best way to do that is through capitalism... but not the capitalism we have today.
@t3dy @mitdasein Missing, or just not acting/agreeing with it?
@pinkyracr While yes we can, but they are also part of the system, and have to compete with companies that lack that level of desire to do the right thing, although "consumers" today demand more awareness than the boomer/genX generation.
@lcecere I would love a #womeninsupplychain list.
Red team, blue team; the rabbit/critters, the dog. Let me explain. Dog enjoys patio time. I leave seed & water for the critters under the patio Palo Verde tree, which is in dog range when he's outside--but he's not always outside. So critters must learn when safe to partake.
@roseveleth Governments and the military are way more aware of the impacts of the future & listen to futurists than the private sector & actually invest in the future. Private sector is ADD & clueless. Governments have very different use cases that are not capitalism based.

@pinkyracr @GavinNewsom @Healthy_Choice @AmysKitchen @stouffers @WholeFoods @kroger Yes, we need to increase mandated use of compostable containers and compostable "plastics."
@pinkyracr @GavinNewsom @Healthy_Choice @AmysKitchen @stouffers @WholeFoods @kroger Oh, that is why there are still heavier plastic bags...
Fresh, tree-ripe peach, hot from the Mojave summer, is an explosion of flavor in my mouth. Delicious.
@ShibumiKiDo @MrTaoBot Supposedly you can find that in Fairfield, Iowa.
@justin__richer @lacroixwater I have been drinking sparkling water for 30+ years. And I was drinking @lacroixwater back when they sold a 12 pack for $2.99 (lime, lemon and plain flavor only). I boycotted them for a couple years after they jacked the price.
@justin__richer @lacroixwater I only recently - this year - stopped my boycott on the ridiculous priced 8 packs, because, well I should support them and their many delicious flavors. I dream of the days when I was their only customer of the $2.99 12 packs of lime lacroix.
@justin__richer @lacroixwater I remember drinking whatever brand that black cherry new york seltzer is for a while in the 90s. My first sip of the sparkling was when I was 7, in some fancy restaurant in Iowa. I remember the moment I fell in love with the bubbly.

There aren’t many things more rewarding than feeding your dog chips.
@ShibumiKiDo I think these had salt and lime, and yes, he has plenty of water!!
@n3rd1ty @justin__richer @lacroixwater What is this polar you speak of? Have you tried Penafiel?
@nicoleradziwill I’ve noticed the same for me. Sad that they’re using this tech, whatever it is, to sell more stuff vs solve any of our major problems.
@roxannedarling I’m down! Not sure how many I can plant by the end of the year (gotta wait till Fall) But maybe 10 more on my property. I’d like to double the trees at the down in a year (that’s 36 more trees!!)
@n3rd1ty Enjoy the dark skies before the moon rise!!
IMO, this is a social attack on election integrity leveraging internal human weapons (belief) to weaken democracy overall. Nothing good will come of using this desperate tactic: https://apnews.com/dc1a8ece1cfe49229bc6b6c391c83617
@pinkyracr @roxannedarling Not gonna reforest the desert - my goal is to plant water wise and native trees to increase shade/reduce ground heat/water evaporation and encourage native small animal life (birds/lizards/snakes) to support larger predators (coyotes, bobcats, etc).
@pinkyracr @roxannedarling Besides while it sounds like 35 trees is a lot, it’s really not. Maybe in 20 years... this is a long term plan.
Interesting... I have thoughts myself, and they are in a report that will hopefully be public in a few months. https://twitter.com/jwolpert/status/1152929217765658630
This is my desert. It will kill you. Even the most prepared person. This woman is still missing, a previous lost hiker was found, & last week some people had to be carried out of the oasis hike from my backyard. And it's not even August yet. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-missing-arizona-woman-mojave-desert-20190715-story.html
Cognition changes when you're in high heat. I myself notice a decline in higher cognitive capabilities after hours over 80 degrees. When I've spent hours over 100 (even in shade/covered up/drinking water) I notice my higher brain function declines even more.
When the heat affects you, you don't make good decisions, add to this a crisis with fear and adrenaline, and you have everything you need to get lost. I compare it to being narced while scuba diving, but instead of happening at 100 ft, it's at 100 degrees.
Be safe in the heat, stay cool, and learn to experience your body under extreme heat.
So I tried this new (old) cbd oil for Archibald, and I didn’t think it was stronger than his usual, but let’s just say he is basically attached to me now. Guess he is not getting that kind again!!! (He also got sick from it :-( ) I am babysitting my dog today.
@davidthings @fatemehx2 Life is a different experience when it's 90+ degrees. Below 85 is no big deal for me as far as day to day. In fact, I think 80 degrees is chilly. But 4+ hours out in over 101+ degree weather, sure I have transcendent ideas, but don't expect me to spell properly. (It's 103 now.)
Catching up on my Tibetan Buddhist reading this weekend - a true luxury. I do enjoy reading ancient masters argue with each other about ultimate and conventional truth. #blissandemptiness

@windley @Johannes_Ernst I've been thinking about putting in a climate managed "green-house" at the dome and have considered hydroponics as well (they'd have to be in their own climate sealed area, to manage water evap). So thanks for this @Johannes_Ernst !

Holy Crap - that was a 4.4 less than 10 miles from MY HOUSE!!!! https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci38624623/region-info #earthquake #twentyninepalms
I was on a conference call, and it was the biggest jerk, jolt that I ever felt. A wave reverberated through my house. (I'm ok.)
More details - I was talking on a call and then time showed down, I WATCHED a wave move through the ceilig of my dome. I saw it flow through the structure - exactly like a wave in the ocean.
It was a very sharp jolt. It was like being hit in my solar plexus. Energy flowed all through my body. I knew exactly what it was.
I knew it had to be a big one... it never occurred it would be basically under me.
I immediately knew I was ok. The dome is amazing in that it doesn’t provide friction for the wave - it just flowed through the materials. That is amazing!
That’s what we all have to do - let this flow through us. Find where anything gets caught on the friction and release the friction. Flow like the energy of the earthquake.
@GreeterDan @burningman Tis the season for the bad media to begin till December when everyone writes the post-BM stories we've seen forever.
"Where the War on Terror only claimed to be a war to save civilization, the Russians actually did have enough nuclear warheads to kill every American several times over -- all they had to do was push a button." Some good points here, including #1. https://www.cracked.com/blog/reminder-stranger-things-fans-eighties-sucked
@GreeterDan @burningman If it's coming from you, it will be fantastic!!
OK, so today started out with a 4.2 earthquake, now dog is sick while I'm on conference calls AND thunderstorm/huge raindrops outside. Hello Monday!
So weird to have the desert smell of smoke while it thunder and rains. This is creosote‘a doing.
After the earthquake, the thunder and rain (hail in Joshua Tree), the dog puking, the smoky creosote, we have the winds. It’s been a day.
I watched Bottle Rocket, which is Wes Anderson's first film last night (thank you @criterionchannl). There is this thing about a yellow jumpsuit. Today on the dog walk, a kid was running around in his yard playing outside wearing... a yellow pikactu jumpsuit!!! RAS or Universe?

The clouds have tempted rain all day. I smell it, the metallic scent, the moistness; I see it, streaming from the slate grey clouds in the distance. I feel it on the wind. But above me, no rain falls.
On days like today, the air is soft and round. My swamp cooler is works poorly on the account of the outside humidity. But I enjoy the moisture on my skin and in my lungs. I know the hot dry wind will return soon enough.
I already have my dream job (bosslady of PT).

Today was awesome. I bailed out of the one call I didn’t have to make. Then did a ton of work and lined up interview-exploratory meetings, weather was balmy, finished the latest Tibetan Buddhist tome & the best: Archibald joined me for downward dog for yoga. I died with delight.

Plastics update: OMG, @IKEAUSA is the WORST! Installed the mini-death star over the loft stairs, and every.single.puzzle.piece was wrapped in its own plastic bag + grouped into another plastic bag + the entire thing was made of plastic. Where are your plant based plastics?
@IKEAUSA I do not feel like buying anything every again, ever. But of course I will, because buying stuff = dopamine + dreams come true (sometimes). So let us go, you & I, with our lifestyles of plastic trash, into the future, & die & leave the problem for the living. #plastics_ennui

I love dipping into the culture of the 30s (as per the movies of the time, which I know is a bias) thanks to @criterionchannl . Tonight's train wreck was The Women, which maybe is the 30s version of Real Housewives?? (Never watch real housewives, so IDK).
But more interestingly, the director, George Cukor also did Gaslight. Hmmmmmmm.....
What's so weird about these old films is the communication style. Like are people really saying the truth (sometimes) and other times not. Also, women play very typical roles, meek, or cutthroat. Also OMG Joan Crawford!

@Engbrg @Tykn_tech @ChristopherA @drummondreed @windley @Kim_Cameron @kimdhamilton @darrello ???
@Engbrg @Tykn_tech @ChristopherA @drummondreed @windley @Kim_Cameron @kimdhamilton @darrello Decentralized Identity is not about technology lock in to blockchain. You can use other DLT technologies and Microsoft is looking at using OpenIDConnect with Verifiable Credentials. You might want to read a little deeper. I'm also curious what you suggest is the solution.
@Engbrg Can you elaborate or point to where you elaborate on this?
@Engbrg Is this based on your analysis of Hyperledger? Have you looked at other DLTs that are both blockchains and not (e.g. IPFS)
@Engbrg Can you say more... I'm honestly curious, but it's hard to get what you are talking about on Twitter... elaborate.
@Engbrg And while I appreciate your opinion, I am a researcher, so provide data and help me understand why you believe what you do vs attack something cause you don't like it.
@Engbrg @IdentityWoman I'd love to find the marketing machine pushing SSI, cause I'm taking on new clients and can use teh $$$. Marketing is far far far from pushing SSI/Decentralized Identity.
@Engbrg Yes, I agree identity is a wicked problem (I'm a futurist, I eat complex problems for breakfast). I don't think anyone I have ever spoken with thinks there are simple or easy solutions to identity problems.
@Engbrg IMHO, this is what decentralized identity is doing. No one working in the space says its done and has solved all the problems. Far from it, this (as all technology solutions prior) is a work in progress. It solves some old problems and will likely introduce new ones.
@Engbrg You lost me here.... can you elaborate/clarify?
@Engbrg @IdentityWoman Also, that kind of negative language makes it difficult to have a balanced conversation, FYI.
Mojave heat is a real thing. Productivity deadzone between 2-5pm, 100+ degrees.
@pinkyracr @appadappajappa Yeah, that was once upon a time in LA.

And to submit to the landscape --> "To truly hear the call of the desert and respond to it, to truly embrace it, demands a capitulation to it. To love the desert is to shed the desire to tame it and to allow this arid landscape to crack open the senses."

@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja Hi there, how can I help? I wrote this about finding the women in cybersecurity (for my research): https://medium.com/@heathervescent/finding-the-women-in-cybersecurity-800fc51ecb7a (ps. Thanks @BorealisNinja !) #womenincybersecurity #cybersecurity #women
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja hmmm.... that might be tough. You could look at #s of women graduating with infosec degrees and #s of infosec jobs, and research #s of women placed in roles.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja Could look at the #s of women in infosec roles. Add this to the #s graduating. Then you'll need to include an attrition rate.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja Could also look at adjacent roles/industries that maybe have a bit more research done on them.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja For data, (& may or not be relevant) I like Pew. You have probably already searched, "number of women in infosec industry" and then chase down those numbers, reports, triangulate, and understand what is causing an upward trend.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja I would also look at the data of those reports... what exact part of the industry/market did they query? Are they missing demographics? Where can I find data to fill that gap in that report.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja The biggest problem for women to advance in any industry is they need a champion, mainly a male, who will give them choice projects & protect them/have their back if there is any problem.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja Sounds like you are putting together a new product market analysis... I would recommend you target companies who are looking to increase diversity in their ranks to pay for your product, vs the women in the industry. Happy to discuss more details/thoughts - DM me.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja I can probably tell you some stuff off the cuff - I've analyzed and written two pieces (both killed) about women in leadership positions.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja You may want to also do some analysis on the growing infosec industry... regardless of gender who is working in it. Also - check military (cybersecurity force) numbers... they tend to be more balanced and often track many things.
@akolsuoicauqol @BorealisNinja Could also track military training and enlistment/categorization of infosec roles... just some ideas... hope they help!
@dgwbirch @Steve_Lockstep Get ready for the influx of newbies to identity.
@darrello @dgwbirch @Steve_Lockstep You know how many MS and Capital One identity newbies were at Identiverse, right? It's an observation and extrapolation, that as identity becomes more and more popular, more newbies are going to get into it - and annoy us with their learning curve blog posts.
@darrello @dgwbirch @Steve_Lockstep Because you can be certain they will have to pave their way themselves, they can't learn from past experiences or experts, since the world is developed fresh anew the moment they put their gaze on it. (kinda joking/not joking)
It is 99.7 degrees and I am cooking pasta with chicken parmesan, don't ask me why.
@infominer33 @darrello @dgwbirch @Steve_Lockstep Burn!!! Well deserved. FTR, I’m not annoyed by newbies (yet), just know ppl have the “I know best” bias which I try to break. ;-) I hope they do their research and bring their own zen mind, beginner mind.
@pamelarosiedee @darrello @dgwbirch @Steve_Lockstep I don’t think I said that. I am having a little fun poking at biases - and the situation where advanced beginners think they know it all. I went through this, and I’ve watched others do the same.
@pamelarosiedee @darrello @dgwbirch @Steve_Lockstep If I am fully honest, I am also perplexed that big orgs and those with resources prefer to hire newbies into these roles vs pull from those with more experience. New insight is useful, but then, Pam, you’ve never replied to any of my emails to you over the years either so ???
@WomeninID @defcon @DianaInitiative @divinetechygirl @pamelarosiedee @EmLindley @colettelda I’ll be there, but I can pay myself this year. Handoff to someone who needs it.
@Steve_Lockstep @darrello @dgwbirch
imageNote to self: don't bother trying to point out people's biases. Not to tweet reader: one of the first things they make you do when you study to be a futurist for real, is study all the biases you and other people have. It's humbling. You can't not stop seeing biases afterwards.
@Steve_Lockstep @darrello @dgwbirch Potentially more damaging, are the VCs who will be investing in companies in this space w/out doing proper research. But hey, I could sure go for another bubble, but focused on identity. Wheeeee.
