Wrote this piece for the @PressHerald where the cyber policy guy steps out of his lane and into urban planning because stepping off the curb has become so dangerous. pressherald.com/2025/04/08/o…

Opinion: To achieve Vision Zero, Portland should start cheap and start now

The city has the basic resources to at least get started in the movement to eliminate pedestrian deaths.

Despite the two hour drive from Portland, our largest city, to the nearest service center in Peabody, MA, there are 2,100 Teslas registered in the state; over a third (800) are from counties that are 2 hours from Peabody.

Cumberland County also has about the same population as Iceland -- where you have a service center and your business is blowing up

Replying to @elonmusk
@elonmusk I don't want to do it but I think I need to sell my @Tesla because I just can't drive two hours each way to Massachusetts to get my vehicle serviced (second time this year)

I live in Maine, a state with 1M cars, 1.3M people, and a well built out charging network just waiting for my more BEVs (26 BEVs per 1 DC charger vs. 60 in CT)

Replying to @FidiumFiber
@FidiumFiber I can’t believe I am doing this but I just signed back up with @GetSpectrum because your tech support is so terrible; on Monday, I swapped a plug and play router — why you require a phone call and a verbal confirmation of the new MAC address is beyond me

You’ve already rolled one truck to confirm that the modem is functioning and now you are going to send another

Are others hearing that insurance companies in the US are starting to exclude ransom payments? Have not heard or seen that directly but was just told that through a long game of telephone...

If I were to write an inside baseball article on how to fix fedramp, where should I try and get that published?

Good piece by @lilyhnewman on ransomware... some thoughts (recognizing I am late to the party) wired.com/story/colonial-pip…

Colonial Pipeline Paid a $5M Ransom—and Kept a Vicious Cycle Turning

Stopping payments would go a long way to stopping ransomware. But the choice is never quite so easy.

I've been told that groups that used to do cash outs, literally making money spew out of ATMs, have switched to ransomware because it is more profitable (though I think cash outs have gotten a lot harder to pull off thanks to bank actions)
