thedailywhat: CISPA Update of the Day: CISPA, the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act that passed the House in April, likely is headed for a Senate vote in early June. To drum up opposition to the legislation, which would create “a ‘cybersecurity’ exemption to all existing laws,” Fight for the Future, Democrats.com, The Liberty Coalition, and the Entertainment Consumers Association have created a new website called Privacy Is Awesome. The site outlines the top five ways to help defeat CISPA: Call your senators and tell them to oppose the Lieberman-Collins bill (CISPA), and ask for a constituent meeting during the Memorial Day recess to help change their mind. Email senators offices about CISPA, expressing your opposition. Keep calling senators until they plan a constituent meeting. Donate to anti-CISPA organizers — the same teams that helped defeat SOPA/PIPA. Share your opposition online — Facebook, Twitter, etc. Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is spearheading opposition to the legislation, concluding a recent Senate floor speech with: I believe these bills will encourage the development of a cyber security industry that profits from fear and whose currency is Americans private data. These bills create a Cyber Industrial Complex that has an interest in preserving the problem to which it is the solution. Watch the full video here. It’s terrific. [death+taxes}

To only think that I was right there less than 48 hours ago… Rio de Janeiro is a breath-taking city. I really couldn’t be more thankful to have had the opportunity to visit Brazil and to be able to jet-set on a plane anytime I wanted. But it’ll always be a balance between giving and taking. That is life as I know it.

Stochastics can go calculate the average waiting time I spend before starting this homework and then the time I’m in the “system” doing this homework. Finally, it can calculate how much I don’t care.
