Bill Gates in 2002: when @MSFT ā€œface[s] a choice between adding features and resolving security issues, we need to choose security.ā€ @BradSmi at @HomelandGOP just made the same pledge in 2024. Why should we believe this time will be different?

NEW: "Keep the champagne corked," argues @ChorzempaMartin @PIIE in our ongoing Forum on China's tech rectification. One official's remark that work was "basically complete" actually means increased supervision has become the norm. digichina.stanford.edu/work/… More to come...

This is what I’ve been telling students. Just because you aren’t technical doesn’t mean you can’t work in cybersecurity. The technical community has done cybersecurity a disservice by failing to communicate these issues in a way ā€œnormalsā€ understand. We need more translators.
ā€œTechnologists are bad at explaining cyberthreats and solutions in terms laypeople can understand,ā€ @Tatum_Hunter_ It’s true. I’ve learned so much working in cyber these last few years, but I still have to show relatives how to create strong passwords. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

China wants to put data to work as an economic resource; if the government can do so, it could be a catalyst for transitioning toward the high-quality growth it has long pursued. Qiheng Chen MIA ’21 @QihengC writes for @StanfordCyber @DigiChn project: ow.ly/XMmC50HVSMu
