canopic jug writes:At Tux Machines, educator and author, Andy Farnell, explores the problem of why we can't teach cybersecurity, whether at universities or trade schools. We've gotten to the point where neither the politicians nor the vendors themselves know or care what they are talking about in regards to device ownership, trust models, updates, conflicting laws, and most of all security theatre.

looorg writes:IKEA has furnished and is renting out a 10 m apartment in central Tokyo for about a dollar per month. It's clearly a gimmick of sorts as the furniture in the apartment are worth a lot more then that. Still looking at the pictures it looks like living in a nicely furnished prison cell, that is also very high (floor to ceiling). Any takers for such compact living? I dont think climbing around on ladders to get around is for me.It seems very futuristic though; it is a staple of sci-fi to pack people like sardines in a can (Ripley's apartment in aliens, 5th element etc., etc.)https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/25/business/ikea-japan-tokyo-tiny-apartment-scli-intl/index.html

On behalf of all the staff I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!I am grateful for all the support the community has shown us since we started SoylentNews.org on February 12, 2014.Has it really been that long? Back then, the internet was dominated by HTTP; it would take some time (years?) until we transitioned to Gandhi and then Let's Encrypt!I have been active on the site since we started. Why? It was the spirit of gratitude I saw here to be free from having "corporate overlords"; how people pitched in trying to help. They were looking not at what they could get but rather what they could give! That spirit lives on to this day. Where? I see it in the people who submit stories and journal articles. I see it when people post (and moderate) comments. And lets not forget those who subscribe to the site which pays bills (hosting fees and accounting expenses, primarily). We are all volunteers here; nobody has ever been paid anything for their work here!I'm taking this opportunity to thank all the editors who perform the seemingly thankless task of selecting, reviewing, editing, and posting stories to the site. I hereby invite them to enjoy the long holiday weekend.We will be on a holiday/weekend story schedule from the start of Thursday through the end of Sunday (UTC). Enjoy the well-deserved break! Thank You!Another story will be along presently; this story is in addition to our normal schedule. --martyb/BytramRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
