I just discovered that Oracle's founder Larry Ellison owns 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai. Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg heard about it and wants to achieve the same.

> The industry has been setting up informal working groups to pool knowledge of mitigations, communicate when our platforms are being leveraged against one another, and cumulatively wasting thousands of hours of engineering time implementing measures to deal with this abuse, and responding as attackers find new ways to circumvent them.

THANK YOU! After reading the email chain, I have a much greater appreciation for the work you do for the community!

My university used to have researchers offer to pay students for testing out new OS ideas, such as 3D visualization of file systems. Some ideas looked super brilliant, but I had to look over at the researcher and smile because I didn't know how to use it. Neither would my grandmother. Sometimes the simplest ideas win.
