Yes, we have to think very carefully about whether we are over dressed or under dressed for each occasion - and for each level. I still haven’t figured it out. When in doubt, I’ve started to 🤷🏻‍♀️ and pick what feels most like me. That’s when I feel most confident anyway.

We say we don't have a dress code in tech and we pretend to have an inclusive culture but in fact we do and this dress code and culture disproportionately affects women.

Last week I took on a new role as a Principal Engineer for Search Data Protection & Policy at Google. I’m excited to take on new privacy and security challenges, as I stay focused on the user.

Yesterday was my first day actually in an office in a long time. It felt energizing.

Edit: informed regulation!

[Tanvi @TanviHacks]

This testimony is worth listening to. I don’t claim to know the backstory, but I do appreciate that Mudge highlighted the need for regulation. Privacy & security engineers can’t do this alone, from the ground up. We need regulation to back us up. Globally.

“My understanding is that one of the reasons the French CNIL is more feared is that they dig in technically and go towards more quantitative results that are less easy for organizations to sort of wordsmith around”, Mudge says in response to a question from Senator Hirono.

@bbkane_ @ericlaw @firefox Firefox keeps separate containers in the same profile using a Gecko platform technology (Origin Attributes). With Chrome/Edge profiles, you get a separate browser instance opened with UI, extensions, and a profile of its own - so you can’t do side by side container tabs.

Thanks to all of you who have stuck with me as I switched out of my privsec context for a bit. I'll save the rest of my musical thoughts for @TanviGrooves for those who are interested 🎶

"Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end"

“Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been faking me out
Can't make you happier now

Road shimmer
Wiggling the vision
Heat heat waves
I'm swimming in a mirror”

“I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now”

“Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so hard to keep it going
Don't make me want to give up

Running running as fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it
We're running, keep holding my hand
So we don't get separated”

[Tanvi @TanviHacks]

“Well, the years start comin and they don't stop comin
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground runnin
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb”

[Tanvi @TanviHacks]

Missed a few days; cleaning the garage and preparing for a fresh start. 9 days to go!

“This ones for u and me, living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
With my arms out wide, I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters”

[Tanvi @TanviHacks]

“Just like fire, burning up the way
If I can light the world up for just one day…
Just like magic, I'll be flying free
I'ma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, fire”

[Tanvi @TanviHacks]

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony paths…

It's just a moment
This time will pass”

[Tanvi @TanviHacks]

“You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it…
