One of the hats I wear is editor for the @defcon@defcon.social Franklin Hackers' Almanack. If you see talks that policymakers should know about, please let me know here, tag me, etc.
I'm already seeing great stuff on voting security, resisting back doors, irresponsible behavior by thin-skinned vendors.. what else should I see?

The dream of the 90s is alive in the media.
"“If the report was published, others could have learned more information about how the [NIST] risk framework can and cannot be applied to a red teaming context,” says Alice Qian Zhang, a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University who took part in the exercise. Qian Zhang says the exercise was particularly rewarding because it was possible to engage with makers of tools while testing them."
