Serious question: at which point do we all, as an industry, finally agree that no Internet-facing middlebox that aggregates and intermediates SSL/TLS traffic is an acceptable approach to implementing a security capability?
I don't think people have quite grasped what this means for researchers doing a phd, a masters or degree, authors' on book deadlines with contracts to be fulfilled, academics with journal articles to write or edit, in multiple fields and disciplines. This is catastrophic.

Why does the idea of a ban on paying ransomware ransoms persist? There's no evidence they work, it will create a business for underground ransom payers who pay on your behalf (and effectively launder the payment), and victims won't report when they're hit with an attack.
Eugh academia really breaks your heart on a semi-regular basis doesn't it. (It's fine, plenty of other good things going on both at work and at home, just feeling frustrated this morning about the gaping void between funder/uni rhetoric and actual actions/decisions made).
