In 2014 this was considered humorous, in the near future we will wish that our tech billionaires had simply wanted to turn us into dinos instead of spending all their money on doomsday bunkers and data centers.

Spiderman asks a dinosaurman "Why are you turning people into dinosaurs, with this tech you could cure cancer?"
Evil dino man responds: "But I don't want to cure cancer..."

Wow, Canvas paid ShinyHunters to get their data back:

We know that for many of our customers, concerns about the potential publication of data related to this incident remain top of mind. We want to acknowledge those concerns directly – we understand how unsettling situations like this can be, and protecting our community is also a top priority for us.

With that responsibility in mind, we reached an agreement with the unauthorized actor involved in this incident. As part of that agreement, the data was returned to us, we received assurances that it will not be further shared on the dark web or elsewhere, and we received proof that any copies of that data were deleted. Further, we have been informed that no Instructure customers will be extorted as a result of this incident, publicly or otherwise. While there is never complete certainty when dealing with cyber criminals, we believe it was important to take every step within our control to give our customers additional peace of mind, to the extent possible.

We are sharing this update in the continued interest of transparency and so that our customers know that we have addressed this element of the incident directly. To reiterate, the agreement covered all of our customers, and there is no need for individual customers to attempt to engage with the unauthorized actor.

We appreciate your patience and trust as we continue to respond to this incident thoughtfully and comprehensively. We remain committed to providing meaningful updates as our work progresses.

Nerds, I've been around the block a few times, but this is a next level foolish idea for improving the workplace in higher ed:

At the beginning of every committee meeting (large or small), every participant receives a $50 bill. They may speak as much as they want, but the first time they speak, they must pay $50. If they keep silent, they get to keep the $50. Whatever dean called the meeting has to provide the funds ($50 per participant) from their discretionary budget. And for every additional hour the meeting takes, the price should increase by another $50 per participant.

This would incentivize people to keep silent and thus make meetings shorter. More importantly, it would incentivize deans and others to call fewer meetings. If a dean calls a committee meeting with 10 people for 1 hour, they have to pay $500. These committee meetings have tremendous marginal costs: A one hour meeting at my business school is equivalent to many tens of thousands in salary. It’s time we internalized these costs.
