Why do we ignore and pretend that everything is all right?

Com on people! Speak it up!

We are humans and we are not perfect. We all know that, don’t we? And it is our nature that we commit mistakes and that we do stupid things sometimes. As much as this is our nature, we should also try to contribute to make things work nicely instead of encouraging making mistakes. I think we all can agree on this. Isn’t it?

Even though we all agree, we step back when it comes to implementation. Even if we know something is not right, we are reluctant to take any action. Why is that? Even we feel if something is not right, we turn back and we never do anything, of course other than just speaking about it to ourselves or with our friends who can really do nothing about this. Why is that?

An example of this was seen and witnessed recently. Yes, I am talking about our class, the business computing class. When we all did know that the time given to complete the assessment was not enough and it was nearly impossible for many of us to complete it on time, still we did nothing. We were waiting to a miracle to happen? Isn’t it? Why is that? Why even if we see that something should be changed still we don’t do anything about it? We all know that we can send an email to the abroad tutor, but still we ignored the problem and pretended that everything was going fine. Why do we ignore? Why do we just think that there is always someone else to do these things for us? Why? When will we start taking our responsibilities? When will we stop ignoring?

We need to ponder on these things more seriously. And we need to come forward, we need to face it. Face it with our guts. No one else is there to do these things for us. We are all alone here, the world is so cruel, we need to fight for our share, our right and our part. Not for anyone else, but for our own good, to live, to be a part of this world and to belong to this universe. And that can only be achieved by stepping forward. We need to stop ignoring and we need to stop pretending, it is too obvious so we have to see it and take action! Com on people! Lets come forward!

Dhivehi to English translation with Microsoft translator

The Dhivehi language translation feature included in Microsoft translator and Microsoft 365 lets you press a button and translate written Dhivehi into English. Though there are a few hiccups here and there, the service is great and provides an understanding of the overall document. This is more than what we see from any existing models. I was amazed to see a link in one of my outlook web emails, it says “translate message to: English” which could mean nothing usually, however, when I saw the next sentence which said “Never translate from: Divehi”, I thought why would it says Divehi specifically if it doesn’t understand that the entire email was written in Dhivehi? Out of curiosity, I pressed the button, and to my surprise, it was quite good. The essence of the message was retained very well. For example, something like އިޙްތިރާމް ޤަބޫލުކުރެއްވުން އެދެން could be translated as “ I would like to respect you ”, which is ok in terms of translation, but what it meant was greeti...

Fortifying Cybersecurity: A NIST CSF Perspective on Zero Trust and Passkeys

Cybersecurity is like protecting a fortress from invaders. Traditionally, we built strong walls around our castle, trusting those inside and keeping potential threats outside. But in today's digital world, threats can come from within and outside, making traditional defences inadequate. This is where the concept of zero trust comes in. What is Zero Trust? Imagine your home. You don't blindly trust everyone who walks in, right? You might ask for identification or make sure they have a reason to be there. Zero trust is similar. It means not automatically trusting anyone or anything trying to access your digital "home" (like your network or data). Instead, it's about constantly verifying and monitoring every access attempt, regardless of where it comes from. Why Zero Trust Matters: Zero trust addresses three key goals in cybersecurity, often called the CIA triad: Confidentiality : Just like you wouldn't want strangers snooping through your person...

Why Understanding Your Risks is Your Best Cyber Defence

In today's digital age, headlines blare about "unprecedented data breaches" and "nation-state cyberattacks." It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, where sophisticated zero-day exploits can bypass even the most fortified defences. But amidst this complexity, a fundamental truth remains: effective cybersecurity starts with understanding your risks. As Bruce Schneier stated, "Security is not a product, but a process." Just as a military commander wouldn't enter battle without understanding the terrain and potential threats, organizations must grasp the digital landscape in which they operate. Imagine a battlefield shrouded in thick fog. You wouldn't blindly charge ahead, would you? Risk assessment is akin to possessing a high-powered thermal sight, piercing the fog to reveal the hidden dangers lurking in the digital landscape. It's a systematic process of identifying your organization's critical a...
