@yaxu@post.lurk.org At some point, I went to a pretty interesting seeming security and usability academic conference, breaking my general rule of not bothering with that sort of thing. Basically all the work presented was useless because folks had only studied the work, not done it, and no one in the room had context to call bullshit. Not to mention, of course the general sort of academic ritual of ignoring bad work instead of calling it out, which only helps if you already know what's bad.

    @dymaxion@infosec.exchange Yes I guess the word 'academic' is a strange term that stands for a lot more than 'employed by a university'.. Of course there are some really good academic researchers around but the culture looks pretty strange once you're on the outside.
