Pink Floyd performing "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" parts 1, 5 & 7 in London, 1994.

We will NEVER see a band like this again.

A Masterclass in music that will never be reached again.

This new @veritasium documentary follows EUV from abstract concept to working system. It links the industry history with the physics and engineering challenges behind it, as well as the persistence needed to make the seemingly impossible possible. https://t.co/mLpMhYJtgO

You know you have the right team when you’d start another company with them immediately, even if this one fails.

[Signal @signalapp]

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications.

One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: https://t.co/QfWgOxHAzp. The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users.

Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites.

In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. If you’re interested in learning more, this WIRED article from February 19th (over a month ago) goes into more detail:

Signal is open source, so our code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits. We also constantly monitor [email protected] for any new reports, and we act on them with quickness while also working to protect the people who rely on us from outside threats like phishing with warnings and safeguards.

This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications.

@lexfridman Lex, you should consider interviewing Michael Abrash! I still remember how he wonderfully started with mundane topics his tech discussions. Check out a speck of his work on Blues News https://t.co/QEMc4pLWa5 I think he'd be great for your show!
