Are you a lobby strategist? Do you negotiate with yourself? Which taste group do you belong to? What are you allowed to see? Do you pay to publish? Do the algorithms that serve you change with you? How are counterpublics generated? Is society constantly transforming itself? What role does capital play? Does media influence human rationality? Are you able to tell real discourse and propaganda apart? Was there ‘public opinion’ (say) a 1000 years ago? Does public sphere have capitalistic roots? What happens to niche ideas in an information supermarket? Are newspapers opinion ‘takers’? Have most modern societies moved from being axiomatic to algorithmic? Can one have societies without a moral discourse? What happens to our base instincts? Do you have the ability of have your own individual opinion? However, are niche morals undesirable? Do ads serve a symbolic norm-making function as well? ‘How’ do you go after your ‘target’ audience? Is it alright if mass media becomes ‘hyper personal’? Is the public just a sum of the all the individual echo chambers? &, what is the kind of public that we want?

tadpoles of terror: the croakening / dark minimal drum and bass mix

In this episode of the 'HEAL Security Dispatch Daily Digest,' Richard Simmons dives into a range of recent cybersecurity incidents impacting multiple sectors, with a focus on healthcare, finance, technology, and the public sphere. Simmons opens with the sentencing of a prominent cryptocurrency launderer involved in extensive dark web operations, marking a pivotal move in the fight against cybercriminal networks. He further highlights a significant malware breach affecting SelectBlinds, where credit card data for nearly 200,000 customers was compromised, raising serious concerns over financial and data security. The episode also details a targeted phishing attack leveraging a Microsoft 365 vulnerability to spread the Remcos remote access Trojan through Microsoft Excel, which has added to the growing list of threats aimed at stealing sensitive data from unsuspecting users.

Throughout the briefing, Simmons underscores recent government and corporate responses to these cyber threats, including the FBI's alert on fraudulent emergency data requests aimed at U.S. organizations, which emphasizes the importance of verifying data requests to prevent breaches. He also discusses cybersecurity challenges within critical infrastructure, such as a ransomware attack that cost Halliburton $35 million and the launch of a Public Health Cybersecurity Readiness Survey, which aims to strengthen the resilience of healthcare agencies against ransomware and other cyber threats. Further updates include legal battles and cybersecurity adjustments from tech giants Facebook and Microsoft, as well as clarifications from Palo Alto Networks on a reported vulnerability. This comprehensive update captures the ongoing challenges and efforts across industries to address and mitigate cybersecurity risks in today’s digital landscape.

Recording for the 19th edition of 2024 of Punting on the Cam on November 12th for www.jungletrain.net Click "show more" below for the full tracklist. Mix available for download.

For this digital show I wanted to play a couple more newer Critical bits that I had bought but didn't get to play in my last digital show, and besides that I wanted to focus on more harder rollers with the new remasters of the Broken Silence LP from Mortlock (Vicious Circle) and Universal Project. The first half hour goes a bit more into a Critical direction but then the rest goes into a relentless flow - I was really enjoying the mix! Unfortunately there's a glitch around 65:30 as the stream dropped and I had to glue the mix from the recording, and one tune in between went missing except that you can hear it starting to get mixed into Squadron.

Next show will only be in two weeks time and will be a vinyl show again! It'll be on Tuesday November 26th, usual time, usual place, usual no-nonsense prescription of DnB! Keep in touch on my artist FB page to know when the next one happens, when new shows are added in the archive, or to give feedback and suggestions; facebook.com/Dr.Squee

[Verse 1]
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

[Verse 2]
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

[Verse 3]
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

[Verse 4]
Were the whole realm of nature mine, 
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Summary

Chris Holman hosts the Michigan Business Beat, interviewing Paul King from ROI Insight about the recent Michigan Future Business Index survey for the Spring Quarter of 2024. Paul King discusses the key findings of the survey, which measures small business performance and predictions for the next six months. 

The survey revealed that businesses are continuing to improve post-pandemic, with a majority feeling fully recovered. Inflation has become the top challenge for businesses, surpassing talent issues. Despite this, sales, profits, and hiring have increased in the past six months. The survey also shows a positive outlook on Michigan's economy and business environment. 

However, there's uncertainty due to the upcoming (at the time of this July recording) presidential election. The discussion touches on the impact of inflation on profits, wage inflation, and the importance of reunifying the country for business stability. Paul King emphasizes the value of the survey in understanding business trends and challenges in Michigan.

Paul King highlights that a majority of businesses now view the economy positively. He also notes that businesses see Michigan as a good market for their goods and view the tax structure for small businesses favorably.


00:00:05 Introduction and Overview of Michigan Future Business Index

Chris Holman introduces Paul King from ROI Insight and mentions the Michigan Future Business Index survey. Paul King explains that the survey measures small business performance over the last six months and predicts attitudes for the next six months.

00:01:22 Post-Pandemic Business Recovery

Paul King reports that the survey shows continued improvement for businesses after the pandemic. He notes that a majority of businesses feel they've fully recovered, and the number of businesses that don't think they'll ever recover is decreasing.

00:01:47 Top Business Challenges: Inflation and Talent

Paul King identifies inflation as the top challenge for businesses, with 15% of respondents citing it as their biggest issue. He mentions that talent issues have slipped to second or third place, though the difference is not significant.

00:02:14 Business Performance and Future Outlook

Paul King reports that in the past six months, businesses saw increases in sales, profits, and hiring. However, he notes a 'wait and see' attitude for the next six months due to political uncertainty, particularly with the upcoming presidential election.

00:03:03 Positive Perceptions of Michigan's Economy

Paul King highlights that a majority of businesses now view the economy positively. He also notes that businesses see Michigan as a good market for their goods and view the tax structure for small businesses favorably.

00:05:15 Inflation's Impact on Profits and Wages

Paul King notes that while businesses feel good about sales and revenue, they're less optimistic about profits due to inflation. Chris Holman adds that wage inflation is also eating into profits as businesses pay more to recruit and retain employees.
