   The Linux kernel today faces an unprecedented safety crisis. Much like
   when Ralph Nader famously told the American public that their cars were
   "unsafe at any speed" back in 1965, numerous security developers told
   the 2016 Linux Security Summit in Toronto that the operating system
   needs a total rethink to keep it fit for purpose.
   No longer the niche concern of years past, Linux today underpins the
   server farms that run the cloud, more than a billion Android phones,
   and not to mention the coming tsunami of grossly insecure devices that
   will be hitched to the Internet of Things. Today's world runs on Linux,
   and the security of its kernel is a single point of failure that will
   affect the safety and well-being of almost every human being on the
   planet in one way or another.
   "Cars were designed to run but not to fail," Kees Cook, head of the
   Linux Kernel Self Protection Project, and a Google employee working on
   the future of IoT security, said at the summit. "Very comfortable while
   you're going down the road, but as soon as you crashed, everybody
   died."

   I do not know what is more spectacular, that everyone is in capable of
   discussing how to make the current network of privacy non-profits more
   oriented towards protecting privacy when I first suggested ti months
   ago, or that no one remembered this article from nearly a year ago.
