A thread of threads on some of the engineering @ twitter.

One of the things that I think is sad about the decimation of Twitter eng is that Twitter was doing a lot of interesting (and high ROI) engineering work that, at younger companies, is mostly outsourced to "the cloud" or open source projects A few examples off the top of my head:

Since the iPhone 14 went on sale, the 911 dispatch center near Kings Island amusement park has received at least six phones calls saying: “The owner of this iPhone was in a severe car crash...” Except, the owner was just on a roller coaster. 🆕 by me: on.wsj.com/3CkEJJz

It’s pretty great to hear @hdmoore give @rapid7 props when talking about stewardship of Metasploit. The whole episode is worth listening to for a piece of infosec history.

Ep 114: HD @hdmoore invented a hacking tool called Metasploit. He crammed it with tons of exploits and payloads that can be used to hack into computers. What could possibly go wrong? darknetdiaries.com/episode/1…

“We were not hacked.” “There was a hacking attempt.” “We were hacked, but it doesn't matter.” “2.5% of you were hacked.” “Getting hacked is actually good.” “I’m glad we were hacked.”

Intelligence acquired since the beginning of the Russian military operation over Ukraine has shown an immense lack of logistic support, making this war one of the most unique in 2022 when it comes to surveillance. A thread 👇🧵

I will repeat that Putin does not care at all what happens to Russia or Russians and he never has. He thinks about staying in power today and tomorrow. That's it. You can never say a dictator has miscalculated as long as he's still the dictator.

Replying to @HenryJFoy
Tonight we have the political declaration from G7 and EU. The details will follow, and need studying. But tonight it is clear that while Putin could still “win” his war in Ukraine, the costs to him, and to Russia, will be far, far higher than he could have imagined.

For all the fears over the last nearly 10 years about the Russian hybrid/information warfare capabilities and troll armies, they have completely lost the information war over this invasion of Ukraine
