    Since some people seem to not be familiar with Joanna, she is a massively influential security researcher. IMO most famous for her "Blue pill" attacks on Vista and Xen: https://blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-06/BH-US-06-Rutkow..., https://invisiblethingslab.com/resources/bh08/part3.pdf. Her work demonstrated that hardware virtualization is not in fact the security panacea we wish it was, but that it too is vulnerable to attack just like any other layer of the stack. This revelation resulted in significant changes in the security world.

    She is also famous for the Qubes OS project and coining the term "evil maid attack".

    > This blog is intended to be a reportage of my struggles between Rationality and Humanism. Pragmatism and Beauty. Formalism and Intuition. Freedom and Love. Individualism, Independence and Privacy on the one side, vs Egalitarianism, Sharing and Community on the other.

    What is he on about? Sounds like his future blog posts could just be rambling about anything.

      She.

      She was a brilliant cybersecurity researcher.

      Nowadays seems to have switched to poetry. Not the first one to do that, recently...

      IMHO she is up there on par with Yudkowsky.
