Episode notes

Option paralysis can happen when there are too many choices, making it difficult to decide on where to go or what to do.
Harry's provides customers with high-quality razors that are refilled and delivered straight to their door.
The Harry's starter set is an excellent value, providing customers with a five-blade German-engineered razor, a weighted handle, foaming shave gel, and a travel cover for just $3.
The speaker has written a book called Fancy Bear Coast Fishing, which discusses five paradigmatic hacks.

Modern computers are somewhat more secure against being hacked - either by an inanimate virus or a human interloper - than they used to be. But as our lives are increasingly intertwined with computers, the dangers that hacking poses are enormously greater. Why don't we just build unhackable computers? Scott Shapiro, who is a law professor and philosopher, explains why that's essentially impossible. On a philosophical level, computers rely on an essential equivalence between "data" and "code," which is vulnerable to exploitation. And on a psychological level, human beings will always be the weakest link in the chain of security.
