Freakonomics, one of the…most particular blogs out there, in which everything and anything gets analyzed with tools usually used to analyze economics, there’s a very very interesting post from yesterday: Bruce Schneier Blazes Through Your Questions.
It’s a *long* interview, with several very interesting questions and even more interesting answers by Bruce…in his inimitably funny-but-ouch style, with jewels such as:
[...]users will always be a problem, and the only real solution is to limitthe damage they can do. (Anyone who says that the solution is toeducate the users hasn’t ever met an actual user.)
I have to agree with him…users can’t be fixed, only contained, like an epidemic.
Go read the interview, it’s well worth the time. If you really have time, read the links he posts too, well worth most of them, particularly the one linking to Bruce’s interview of Kip Hawley, head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)…if you are short on time, that’s a link that you should read.
