America | Tech | Opinion | Culture | Charts "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.” – Elon Musk Justin and I spent the majority of 2025 working at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leading the Small Agencies team. DOGE’s mission was simple but ambitious: reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion, and make our government work better for all Americans.

No talks: the new battleground in takeovers
Australia: No talks: the new battleground in takeovers 20 February 2022 by Justin Fox and Andrew Lumsden Corrs Chambers Westgarth Your LinkedIn Connections with the authors To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com. No talk provisions have become standard fare in public M&A transactions in Australia. In fact, they have become so ubiquitous that it is easy to forget that they are effectively prohibited in some jurisdictions (e.g. the UK).
Who should millennials thank for their raises? Employers? Think again.
Analysis The shrinking of the age 20-through-64 population since the end of 2018 hasn't gotten a lot of attention, nor has the positive aspect of that situation. (Photo: Shutterstock) (Bloomberg Opinion) — After decades during which employers usually held the upper hand, something feels different in the U.S. labor market. Wages are rising across the income spectrum. Workers are quitting in huge numbers. McDonald’s franchisees are offering hourly workers child care and college tuition.
ASIC publishes INFO255 to establish rules for activist short sellers

Activism has become a ubiquitous feature of the Australian public equities landscape.
Why HTTPS isn’t as secure as it seems - and what that means for your company
Featured By Back End News on May 5, 2021 By Justin Fox, Director of Software Engineering at NuData Security To most people, a site with “HTTPS” in the URL is automatically trustworthy. We’ve been taught to associate the little padlock next to the URL in our browser window with safety and security. In fact, most major browsers now warn you when you attempt to input personal information into a site without HTTPS. However, HTTPS only protects against certain types of attacks.
Ensuring retail cybersecurity for all ages
Justin Fox, director of software engineering at NuData Online audiences are growing increasingly age-diverse. They now range from children gaming on their caregivers’ smartphones to seniors video chatting with their grandkids. While that diversity is generally a good thing, it also poses a security challenge for retailers. Every user is different, with different needs, worries and levels of risk tolerance.

Security Boulevard
We’ve all experienced digital growing pains in the era of COVID-19. Whether it’s ordering food delivery off a smartphone for the first time or working through technical difficulties during a game of “Among Us” with friends, we’ve had to adapt to new ways of doing things online. Although most of our moves to digital channels have made our lives more frictionless, they’ve also brought many cybersecurity challenges.
Security Boulevard
Predicting a global pandemic that reshaped how we interact with each other and our devices at a fundamental level would be nigh impossible, but we have seen an acceleration in the shift to cloud-based services. This shows the adaptability of organizations looking to evolve and thrive during an unprecedented event. However, this shift has also left some businesses vulnerable to exploitation.
Anatomy Of A Carp Rig | Dave Gaskin's Munnie Rig
As an incredibly fastidious angler I don’t feel like you can ever feel fully satisfied that you have everything perfected, especially when it comes to rigs! It is always fun to tinker and try to improve upon something that has already proven many times to be a hugely successful and effective rig. With this mind-set, I wanted to try and take great attributes from a couple of thoroughly proven rigs, combining them into one.

Draft FIRB legislation: what are the implications for Australian technology transactions? | Lexology
Australia
August 13 2020 The Federal Treasurer has released an exposure draft of the legislation that will implement his previously announced reforms to Australia’s foreign investment framework. Among other changes, the legislation will introduce a zero dollar screening threshold on foreign investments into any ‘national security business’. This will mean that any direct investment by a foreigner into a national security business will require FIRB approval.

SOLAR | SP Brolly
With Solar Tackle releasing a whole host of new products during the last year under the name of SP (Solar Performance,) including a plethora of luggage, accessories and two shelters, there is now a full brolly system that has been added to the range. As with all of the products released under the SP banner, the new Solar SP Brolly has been constructed using the very best of components, providing not only a functional but also a durable brolly.
Using behavioral analytics and passive biometrics to aid cyber defenses
September 03, 2019, 3:30 a.m. EDT The largest source of threats to the digital identities of consumers is the ever-growing dataset of account information made available through data breaches. With the usernames, SHA-1 hashed passwords, email addresses, names, and IP addresses of over 14 million Hostinger customers now breached, victims must immediately change their passwords along with any other accounts that they might have reused the same password on.
Justin Fox: The Amtrak that works and the Amtrak that doesn’t work
By the time it crossed the Mississippi River at Burlington, Iowa, last week, our California Zephyr was running more than eight hours late on its journey from the San Francisco Bay Area to Chicago. The last meal, a free, off-menu beef stew, had just been served in the dining car. My wife and I opted instead to consume a couple of Maruchan Instant Lunch cups, purchased in the cafe, accompanied by a half bottle of Kendall-Jackson chardonnay, also from the cafe.
Commentary: Ousting Zuckerberg from Facebook would be hard
A lot of people these days think Facebook has become an incorrigible, toxic “regime of one-sided, highly profitable surveillance” under the near-absolute control of a “sovereign and singular ruler,” as University of North Carolina information scholar Zeynep Tufekci summed up in Wired a couple of weeks ago. I’m not sure the harshest Facebook critics are right. I agree, though, that the company is different even from rival miners of user data, such as Google.
The internet of things: A beginner’s guide to commercial applications and security risks
Over the last 10 years or so, the world we live in has become much more interconnected, with smartphones, tablets and everyday devices now routinely connecting with one another to provide services. While most of us are now aware of the internet of things (IoT), we may not yet realise just what impact it will have on businesses in the coming years. What is the internet of things?
Justin Fox: Which came first, the opioids or the despair?
Scott Winship and his team at Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s Social Capital Project have been compiling data on opioid-related deaths and economic and social indicators at the county level, with plans to publish a paper on the correlations this fall. In the meantime, they’ve published an assortment of animated maps of overdose rates, and it’s striking how different things look from state to state.
Commentary: What Confederate monument builders were thinking
That was unacceptable to the framers of the 1901 constitution, so they fixed it. Because the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution barred them from explicitly denying blacks the vote, they used a poll tax and literacy and property requirements to do the job.
Justin Fox: The dumpster fire hasn't been put out quite yet
The dumpster fire, the American Dialect Society's Word of the Year for 2016 (even though it is, of course, two words), is still with us. There was an actual dumpster fire in Medford, Oregon, on Tuesday, and another one in Salem, Massachusetts, last week. And, yes, there are still metaphorical dumpster fires, too. There was the Politico headline, "Paul Ryan Failed Because His Bill Was a Dumpster Fire," at Politico that I stumbled across over the weekend.

Fox: Voters are making a mess of the world's democracies
In the U.S., a large if perhaps shrinking share of the population wants to elect as president a reality-television star with no apparent interest in learning anything about governing or the world around him. In Britain, a majority of voters chose to exit the European Union despite experts' warnings of financial chaos and economic damage that so far are being borne out.
Fox: Yes, the U.S.'s bacon fad will eventually fade
The biggest story in American meat over the past half-century has been chicken replacing beef as the country's leading protein source. But lately there's been another livestock drama playing out: the resurgence of pork. Writes Bloomberg's Lydia Mulvany: "With Americans expected to eat the most pork since 2007, money managers are now the most-bullish since 2014 on hog futures, which already are at a nine-month high. Fast-food restaurant owners like McDonald's Corp.
Fox: It's really tough to move out of a dead-end town
The National Review's Kevin Williamson has written something about the U.S.'s small-town, working-class whites. It's not very nice, and outrage is being expended over his claim that these people are struggling largely because "they failed themselves." A sample from near the end of Williamson's screed: "The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump's speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin.
Fox: Why some cities get all the good jobs
Over the past few decades, the U.S. job market has been pulling apart. Lots of new high- and low-wage jobs have been created, while middle-wage ones have become scarcer. Much of this divergence has been along geographical lines.
Some states' jobs returned and some didn't

CES reports the nonfarm payroll number that people get all excited about on Twitter every month; CPS reports the unemployment rate.) The laggards are West Virginia, Wyoming, Maine, New Mexico, Missouri, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Alabama and New Hampshire.

How rich investors use all that cash from buybacks
Big U.S. corporations have given tons of money to shareholders in recent years, mostly in the form of stock buybacks. That you already knew. But where does the money go after that? This turns out to be pretty hard to answer, but it's fair to say that the dominant view since sometime in the 1990s has been that, wherever it's going, the money is being put to better use than it would if the corporations hadn't given it to shareholders.
Bloomberg View Op-ed: Quantifying the risk that bacon will kill you
You have of course heard the sad news about bacon. As the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer put it Monday in a news release: "The experts concluded that each 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent." How much is 50 grams of processed meat? In bacon terms it's about two slices. Just to be clear, it isn't that eating two pieces of bacon will increase your colorectal cancer risk by 18 percent.
The growing strength of LinkedIn's weak connections
I've got a bunch of endorsements awaiting my approval to add them to my LinkedIn profile. But what does it mean that people I barely know have endorsed me for "Content Strategy" or "Social Media"? Most likely it means nothing at all -- endorsing someone takes too little effort to be meaningful. Still, the people who run LinkedIn are all about the data, and the data must tell them that the practice is worth continuing.
Internet ad-blocking arms race will never end
Ever since Apple let slip in June that the latest version of its operating system for iPhones and iPads would enable ad blocking, the discussion of the looming apocalypse for ad-dependent publishers has been impossible to avoid — unless you've installed ad-blocking-discussion-blocking software, of course.
Bloomberg Op-ed: Human impact on global environment may be peaking
The Northeastern United States is full of forests these days, and those forests are increasingly full of bears, coyotes and other wildlife. This probably would have seemed inconceivable 150 years ago, when the region's trees were being clear-cut to oblivion. Undesirable, too. "Wilderness" didn't have really positive connotations at the time. What happened? Coal replaced wood as heating fuel. Rising agricultural productivity reduced the need for farmland. And so the trees began to come back.
Herbalife is unloved but doesn't deserve to die
As almost everyone knows by now, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman really doesn't like the way Herbalife does business. This is because the company's business model has a hint of pyramid scheme to it. As a distributor of Herbalife's shake mixes, vitamin supplements, snacks and the like, you make money by signing up other distributors. Those who get in early can make big profits, while most distributors don't make money at all.
Bloomberg View Op-ed: The $10 founding father
And now this. The Treasury Department that Hamilton built wants to throw him off the $10 bill, or maybe make him share it with an as yet-to-be-chosen woman of historical significance. There was already a campaign in the works to replace the $20 bill's scurrilous mascot, Andrew Jackson, with a woman, but it's the $10 that was next on the redesign schedule, so it's the $10 and its comeback kid that's in the crosshairs.
Uncertainty is certainty about net neutrality
For example, the new rules. In the short run they won't change much, because they were drawn up in order to preserve the status quo that a federal appeals court shattered with a ruling early last year. The goal is to keep broadband providers from blocking or throttling Internet content, and from charging content providers for "fast lanes" to Internet users.
Fox: Cable companies may pay for pushing the FCC too far
How do I know this? It's what happens when the FCC makes a big regulatory change related to broadband. You could even say that past lawsuits by the phone and cable companies have driven the FCC to exactly the decision it seems likely to make this week, a decision that is sure to drive the phone and Internet companies crazy. Nice little irony, no?
The Apple Collection 1986
Fanboys rejoice! Back in 86, Apple released a catalog full of extra short shorts and trucker hats featuring rainbow Apple logos. They called it “The Apple Collection”. Will the 80’s style ever make a comeback? Fuck I want that crewneck!
