To Get Smarter About Your Supply Chain, Start With First Principles
in CEO
If the past few years—and the historic inflation we're in the midst of—has taught any lasting lesson it is that if you want to know where the global economy and your business may be headed, you need to deeply understand global supply chains, starting with your own.
Harvard's Willy Shih
For my money, there's no one smarter on the topic than Harvard Business School's Willy Shih, who has a gifted professor's ability to demystify complex systems and a pragmatic streak rooted in his long, pre-HBS career running factories. He now sits on the board of publicly-traded Flex, Inc.
I first met professor Shih more than a decade ago during a visit to HBS just after the publication of his way-ahead-of-its-time book Producing Prosperity: Why America Needs a Manufacturing Renaissance (HBR Press, 2012). Over the ensuing decade—and especially during the pandemic era—he's become among the world's most-quoted supply chain experts, cited routinely by nearly every business publication you can think of and routinely brought in by government agencies and companies alike for advice.
June 7th & 8th, Shih will be one of the keynotes at our ACCD-Corporate Board Member Director's Forum in Boston, leading a session on how public-company directors can ask sharper questions of management.
For Shih, that all starts first-principle questions—ie, where do we get what we need to do the things we do, how does it get where it needs to go, what could go wrong, what would that mean, and what's the plan if something does go wrong?
He says you'd be surprised—he certainly is—how often CEOs and directors at even very sophisticated manufacturing companies don't really understand some of these fundamentals of their business. In the following conversation (edited for length and clarity), Shih talks about how directors and C-Suite executives can get smarter, faster about their supply base, what stands in the way of that and why the great reshoring revolution may prove to be a lot harder than anyone thinks right now:
You focus a lot on first principles around supply chain. What are some of the key questions that people need to be asking to be better at understanding not just their supply chain, but how supply chains work in general? How do you as a board member work to think this through and help other board members?
Well, the first thing to understand is really the structure of your supply chain. Every company, every sector is different because of where you draw on those resources and capabilities, right? And especially in today's globalized world where we have, you know, supply chains and value networks that span the world, understanding where all those value-adding steps are taking place seems obvious, but oftentimes it's not easy, especially when you have a deep tiering in supply chains where you have multiple tiers of suppliers, feeding suppliers, ultimately feeding the companies who supply you.
There are some industries where those tiers may be as many as nine deep, and it is very challenging to even understand who all those suppliers are, and therefore, who all your vulnerabilities are. Just think about the math. Let's say you have 400 tier 1 suppliers, and let's say each one of those has 50 or 70 suppliers feeding them. By the time you get two tiers out, it's really hard to understand where those players are.
Now, on top of kind of the combinatorial problem, there's also a proprietary problem where a lot of those suppliers don't want you to know who their suppliers are just because they don't want to be disintermediated. So, now, how are you going to figure out where all your vulnerabilities are? So that's the big challenge.
Are you surprised at how often operators, manufacturers, who are supposed to be steeped in this don't actually have the kind of visibility they need to be smarter about where their supply chains are going?
The biggest area where the pandemic has highlighted that kind of exposure from lack of understanding has been in the logistics side. The reason I say that is you can compare different firms. Some did very well during the pandemic and some did not so well. I would argue that the ones who did well majored in understanding the logistics, majored in really making sure they had visibility all the way across, up and down their supply chain.
Sometimes these are the very large importers. The largest importers in the country are Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's, Ashley Furniture, Target, companies like that. They have people on the ground in China. I'm on the board of a company and we have operations on the ground in China, and I understood how the China manufacturing model works, with migrant workers living in dormitories on the factory site.
So, if you understand how that model works, then you see a shock, like a lockdown in some city, you say, "My workers aren't going to be able to get back to the factory," Then you can put all these pieces together. Or when you see so-called blank sailings on the Transpac, which means they're taking out capacity, or you see a queue of ships waiting to unload, then you understand immediately that those things are taking capacity out of the system and it's likely to impact you.
People who had their ear to the ground and were paying attention on a daily basis, they had a headstart on everybody else in trying to secure their holiday seasons in 2021. They did better. It's because they majored in it as opposed to letting somebody else do it.
So how do boards, CEOs, ask better questions to make sure that their organizations are doing the kinds of things that you're talking about? Strategically, how do they step back and really say, "We need to get good at this, how do we get good at this?"
The key is asking the right questions, obviously, at the board level—asking a lot of questions about ensuring that your management team understands their vulnerabilities, that they pay attention to the structure of the supply chains, that they're making very deliberate choices about supplier location, supplier diversity. "Do I have multiple sources for parts that have a high revenue impact on me?"
You won't always be able to have multiple sources on proprietary parts or things that have unique suppliers. Well, then the question is: "Well, what is our contingency plan there? What is our contingency either for rapid design around, or do I want to maintain inventory of parts?"
I was talking to a reporter yesterday about the infant formula shortage. And, you know, I said I don't know anything about infant formula, but the same type of first principles analysis applies, which is: How much slack capacity is there? Abbott Nutrition, when you have a plant that gets taken out, that's always a huge problem because it removes a lot of capacity from the system. There's a lot of concern about those unique formulas for, you know, infants who need particular special nutritional needs.
I said some number of years ago, I visited the Novo Nordisk factory in Kalundborg, Denmark. They make half the world's supply of insulin. Since they make half the world's supply of insulin and they realize that they cannot leave the world short because that's a huge responsibility, they had a five-year-stockpile in the deep freeze of insulin in case anything went wrong.
I gave them high marks for that because they said, "This is my responsibility. This is the lives and well-being of lots of people are depending on us. Therefore, we are gonna plan accordingly," right?
So I think a lot of it is like: "How do you think about this problem?" Some of these problems, there don't appear to be simple solutions, but you have to have those types of contingency plans.
You did a book years ago about the need for an American manufacturing renaissance. We've seen a lot of companies at least talk a great deal about re-shoring to the United States, shortening supply chains, getting closer to customers. What do you make of that? We also hear a lot of conversation about de-globalization. Where do you think companies need to be going on this for the decade ahead?
Everybody wants resilience, and, well, not enough people are talking about how do you pay for that. So all these things, if you're going to maintain multiple sources, or you're going to maintain sources that are more regional, that are closer to the market, that means your products are going to cost more. Having multiple sources or having other sources in higher-cost locations means your products are going to cost more.
Everybody's complaining about inflation right now, but I would argue one of the reasons we've had relatively low inflation for the last two decades is because we've benefited from offshoring to inexpensive manufacturing locations like China.
If you offshore manufacturing from a high-cost region to a low-cost region, that's pretty easy. That's easy because the cost savings will pay for that.
But if you want to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., which is all the rage—everybody's talking about political and technological sovereignty, not only in the U.S. but in Europe as well—that's different.
When you go from a low-cost country to high-cost country, there's nothing that's going to pay for that. It's obvious—that's also first principles. It's obvious, but people haven't thought about that.
So, if you're going to do that, then high cost is competing with low cost. You either have to have better productivity' that can be through automation, it can other things, or you have to have process innovation that says, "I'm going to have a lower-cost way of doing this compared to others," or you have to be R&D and innovation-led, where the cost of labor doesn't matter.
I've been in factories in the United States where the fully-burdened cost was $130 an hour, and it didn't matter because the product had so much value-add. Labor cost, while it was a significant component, it was not that big a part of the overall cost. So you can do it, but, again, based on first principles, you have to think about how are you gonna do this in a sensible way?
From a first-principles standpoint, what are the world's supply chains telling you about where we're going in the 2023-2024 time range? What are you seeing?
First of all, input costs are going to be higher. We are going to go to more regional manufacturing. We are going to more regional manufacturing because, frankly, China is making it very hard. With Zero Covid, a lot of people are saying, "I can't deal with this anymore." A lot of people moved to Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and so on, but those places are filling up. They don't have the raw capacity that somebody like China does. I'm very high on Mexico because Mexico has a good labor environment. They have political issues, but all in, I think it's still an attractive location.
The other thing, and this kind of goes to the ESG discussion, there are big changes coming in terms of decarbonization of shipping with IMO 2023 regulations coming. That's not on people's radar yet. It should be because it's going to mean higher costs. Between the politics and a lot of the economic forces, it argues for a shrinking of the tradeable sector, which is something that we haven't seen in this generation.
If there's one thought you would leave directors and management teams with about thinking about the supply chain next year, what would it be?
Really try to learn more at every opportunity because you need to build this mental model of your company's supply chains and understand your vulnerabilities. With that, comes a mindset of, "I know change is going to be a constant, it is going become a much more a dynamic game where I'm constantly trying to adjust to whatever new shocks come."
We keep having these new shocks. Resilience, as much as anything, is the ability to respond to these new things. That's the new reality.

Q: NServiceBus Command location All,
A quick if you will related to the location of commands. We have two hosts, the first which will issue commands, the second which will receive those commands.
The hosts exists in different eco systems/bounded contexts, and therefore I'm trying to determine the best location for the commands.
Do you think that the commands project should reside with the send (in the sender sln), or with the receiver.
They could be kept entirely independent and be in a separate solution, but that doesn't solve the location issue as they're hosted in an internal nuget instance.
Thoughts?

A: With either commands or events we tend to place those outside of the consuming projects in a common area and build them separately after initial development.  We have the build generate the nuget packages and then reference those from the consuming projects.  Enabling package restore ensures the consumer's builds work correctly.

A: As Adam stated, Messages (Commands and Events) are contracts and should be located in a common project, the two consuming project have a dependency on the messages the sen/publish and handle. you can put the messages in separate projects (and/or namespaces) based on the service that owns them.

Video: Joe Thornton Scores First Goal With Florida Panthers
Michael DeRosa Monday, October 25, 2021 Florida Panthers
Joe Thornton scored his first goal as a member of the Florida Panthers on Sunday night against the Arizona Coyotes. The 42-year-old forward would retrieve a rebound in front and quickly bury it in the wide open net.
Thornton was a late summer addition by the Panthers. With Florida looking like legitimate contenders this season, it makes sense that the veteran opted to sign there. Over his fantastic NHL career, the one main thing missing from it is a Stanley Cup. Maybe that will change this year.
Thornton will look to continue to provide solid depth scoring and leadership for the Panthers as the season continues. He may no longer be the superstar center he once was, but he still can produce. In 44 games last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, he scored five goals and had 20 points. If he can get on the scoresheet as regularly as that this season, he would be a very good addition for the Panthers.
Nonetheless, congrats to Joe for getting on the board!

2011 UEFA Champions League Final

The 2011 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match played on 28 May 2011 at Wembley Stadium in London that decided the winner of the 2010–11 season of the UEFA Champions League. The winners received the European Champion Clubs' Cup (the European Cup). The 2011 final was the culmination of the 56th season of the tournament, and the 19th in the Champions League era.
The final was contested by Barcelona of Spain and Manchester United of England, the same teams which contested the 2009 final held in Rome which Barcelona won 2–0. The match kicked-off at 19:45 BST. The referee for the match was Viktor Kassai from Hungary.[3] The venue, the new Wembley Stadium, hosted its first European Cup final, having opened in 2007. The old Wembley Stadium hosted the finals in 1963, 1968, 1971, 1978 and 1992.[6]
Both teams entered the competition having won it three times previously, Manchester United in 1968, 1999 and 2008; Barcelona in 1992, 2006 and 2009. To reach the final, in the knockout phase Barcelona beat Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk and lastly Real Madrid in the 212th El Clásico derby, while Manchester United beat Marseille, Chelsea and Schalke. Manchester United and Barcelona entered the final as champions of their domestic leagues (the Premier League and La Liga, respectively), but neither team had won a domestic cup that season.
Barcelona dominated the match, winning 3–1 with goals from Pedro Rodríguez, Lionel Messi and David Villa, securing their fourth Champions League title.[7] Wayne Rooney scored for Manchester United to level the score going into half-time.[8]
Barcelona thus qualified to play Porto, the winners of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, in the 2011 UEFA Super Cup in Monaco on 26 August 2011,[9][10] and they also earned a place in the semi-finals of the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup in December 2011 as the UEFA representative.

The original Wembley Stadium hosted five European Cup finals prior to 2011. The 1968 and 1978 finals were both won by English sides: Manchester United beat Benfica 4–1 in 1968 and Liverpool defeated Club Brugge 1–0 in 1978. Benfica also lost in the 1963 final, beaten 2–1 by Milan, while Ajax won the first of three consecutive European Cups at Wembley in 1971, beating Panathinaikos 2–0. In the 1992 final, Spanish club Barcelona defeated Italian side Sampdoria 1–0 in the final match played as the European Cup prior to the following season's introduction of the current Champions League format.
First opened for the British Empire Exhibition in 1923, the stadium was originally known as the Empire Stadium. That year, it hosted its first FA Cup Final, when almost 200,000 spectators attempted to watch the match between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United. Wembley played host to all of England's matches at the 1966 FIFA World Cup, including the 4–2 victory over West Germany in the final, and at UEFA Euro 1996. The original stadium was closed in 2000 and demolished three years later, to be replaced by a 90,000-capacity arena, which opened in 2007.[6]
The match was a rematch of the final two years earlier, which Barcelona had won 2–0 in Rome. United and Barcelona had both won three European titles prior to the match. United had won three years earlier against Chelsea, Bayern Munich in 1999, and Benfica in 1968. Barcelona had won their first title 19 years earlier, against Sampdoria at the Wembley Stadium. They then won their second title in 2006, beating Arsenal 2–1 in Paris. The most recent title win for Barcelona was against United in 2009 and it was the most recent final for both of these teams. However, in 2008, United defeated Barcelona 1–0 on aggregate, at the semi-final stage, en route to claiming their third trophy. Barcelona were appearing in the final for the third time in six years while United were for the third time in four years.

Inside Wembley Stadium
Wembley Stadium was selected as the venue for the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final at a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee in Nyon, Switzerland, on 29 January 2009.[11] Other stadia in contention to host the final included the Allianz Arena in Munich and Berlin's Olympiastadion.[12] The Allianz Arena instead hosted the 2012 final.[11] The weekend set aside by UEFA for the 2011 Champions League Final was originally scheduled by The Football League as the date for the Football League play-off finals, which are traditionally held on the British May bank holiday weekend; however, due to UEFA's requirement that they be given exclusive use of the venue in the lead-up to the final, the play-off finals had to be relocated. Due to this breach of their contract with The Football Association, The Football League demanded compensation.[13] On 21 January 2011, as part of a settlement agreement with the FA, the League One and League Two play-off finals were moved to Old Trafford, Manchester, to be played respectively on 29 May and 28 May 2011; the Championship play-off final was not rescheduled.[14][15] The Conference National play-off final was also moved to Manchester, to be played at the City of Manchester Stadium on 21 May 2011.[16]
UEFA's ambassador for the 2011 Champions League Final was the former Minister for Sport and representative of the City of London Kate Hoey, General Secretary of The Football Association Alex Horne, and England Women's international Faye White. The logo for the final is in the style of a heraldic crest and features the European Champion Clubs' Cup in the centre, flanked by two lions. According to the designers of the logo, London-based Radiant Studios, the lions are intended to represent the two teams that would contest the final, battling over the trophy. The use of traditional elements in a contemporary style in the design is said to have been inspired by modern British designers such as Vivienne Westwood and tailors on Savile Row.[18][19]
Although Wembley Stadium can usually hold up to 90,000 spectators, the net capacity for the 2011 Champions League final was approximately 86,000. The two teams that reached the final were allocated 25,000 tickets each, while a further 11,000 tickets were put on general sale. The application period for the latter opened on 24 February 2011 and closed at 17:00 GMT on 18 March, with recipients to be determined by a random ballot before 6 April.[20][21]
A ticket launch event was held at London's City Hall on 17 February 2011, at which the above ticketing process was explained. The event was also used to promote the start of ticket sales, and was attended by final ambassador Gary Lineker, his women's final counterpart Hope Powell, UEFA Champions Festival ambassador Graeme Le Saux, UEFA fourth vice-president Marios N. Lefkaritis, and vice-chairman of The Football Association Barry Bright. Le Saux and Powell were presented with the first symbolic tickets for the final by four local schoolchildren.[22]
A ball from the match on display at the UEFA Champions Festival in Hyde Park, London
As with the previous ten UEFA Champions League finals, beginning with the flag of England, the ball itself is white with red stars, connecting to a central, bright orange star. Technically, the ball shares its structure with the Adidas Finale Madrid, which was used for the 2010 final.[23]
The 2011 Champions League final was officially opened on 21 May 2011 with the opening of the 2011 UEFA Champions Festival at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London. The festival ran for the entire week leading up to the show-piece match at Wembley, closing a few hours before kick-off. Among the attractions at the festival were displays detailing the history of the European Cup, miniature football pitches for use by the public, and the trophy itself.[24]
The match was shown on ITV and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom. In the United States, Fox aired the final for the second consecutive year. UK-based outside broadcast facilities provider NEP Visions provided host coverage of the event. In South America, Rede Globo and Rede Bandeirantes broadcast the match for Brazil. Sky Deutschland (Pay TV) and Sat. 1 were broadcasting the match for Germany, public broadcaster SF 2 showed the final in Switzerland, as well as, the public broadcaster ORF 1 in Austria.[25]
The match was broadcast live in 3D in the Trädgår'n club hall in Gothenburg, Sweden on the Guinness Book of World Records' largest television.[26][27]
Barcelona outplayed Manchester United, controlling 68% of possession and having 22 attempts on goal compared to United's 4.[28] United's game plan was to get bodies in front of Barcelona's attack and hope to keep the ball away from their end whenever they received possession. United would therefore often try long balls as their method of attack. Manchester United started the better of the sides, with more possession and brief sights of goal in the opening minutes. Javier Hernández had a shot towards goal blocked, and another fly over the bar (he had been offside anyway in the approach play). Barcelona came into the game after their slow start and created a few chances. David Villa had a shot from range go just wide in the 19th minute, and another in the 21st minute was saved well by Van der Sar. Barcelona then took the lead in the 27th minute when Xavi played in Pedro, who struck from inside the penalty box. It looked as if Barcelona could keep possession to win the game with just that goal. However, United equalised seven minutes later against the run of play. After some pressuring by United on Barcelona who were taking a throw-in deep in their own half, Wayne Rooney received the ball, played a one-two with Ryan Giggs, and curled the ball into the corner from 15 yards. Replays showed that Giggs may have been just offside in the approach play. On the stroke of half-time, Messi almost latched onto a cross from Villa but could not turn it into the net from a few yards out. The whistle blew soon afterwards for half-time.[28]
Barcelona's dominance continued in the second half. Messi almost gave Barcelona the lead in the 52nd minute when he latched onto a rebound from a Van der Sar save from Dani Alves, but Patrice Evra cleared off the line with his head. Barcelona regained the lead in the 54th minute when Messi received the ball and fired home from 20 yards out. Barcelona dominated for the next 15 minutes or so. Messi turned Rio Ferdinand and got a shot away from about eight yards out, forcing a save from Van der Sar. In the 66th minute, Xavi had a long shot saved by Van der Sar, and Iniesta had another long shot saved by the United keeper a few minutes later. A third goal came in the 69th minute. David Villa got the ball about 20 yards out and curled a shot into the top corner to seal the result.[28][29] United tried to hit back immediately with an attack, with Rooney having a curling shot go just over the bar. Nani then made a run across Barcelona's 18 yard box in the 85th minute and got a shot away which went just wide. But there was no way back for United and Barcelona hung on comfortably to win their fourth European title and the third in six years.

In a gesture by his team-mates, Éric Abidal, who had undergone surgery only two months earlier to remove a tumour in his liver, was given the honour of wearing the captain's armband during the trophy presentation ceremony. He was the first player to lift the trophy. Speaking afterwards, Abidal, who was in tears, appreciated the gesture, and spoke of how "special" his club was.[31]
Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola singled out Messi after the game, stating the Argentine was "the best player [he'd] ever seen" and that Messi "made the difference" in the game.[32] Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson acknowledged that the Barcelona side was the best team he had ever faced.[33] His sentiments were echoed by United captain Nemanja Vidić and defender Rio Ferdinand.[34]
Gerard Piqué cut the mesh from the net in front of the Barcelona fans where Barcelona had scored the two winning goals, and took it back to the club museum at the Camp Nou. The Barcelona players, coaches, and their families then formed a circle at centre field and danced. The sprinklers at Wembley came on at this time and the players and coaches celebrated under them.

Who are you, why should I trust your software?
Why aren't the Dephormation and Secret Agent add ons published on Addons.mozilla.org?
Why isn't the Dephormation and Secret Agent code GPL?
Why isn't the Dephormation and Secret Agent code signed?
Why no Internet Explorer/Chrome/Opera equivalent to Dephormation?
If I block/delete Phorm cookies, will that protect me?
Can Dephormation protect me from cross site request forgery?
Should I close my account with BT/VirginMedia/TalkTalk?
How do I uninstall Dephormation or Secret Agent?
Can you recommend a Phorm free ISP?
I'm Peter John. I'm a professional software engineer.
I'm a former Virgin Media subscriber (left April 2008).
And a Member of the British Computer Society. And now a UK expat.
If you want a character reference, ask in the UK cable discussion forums for a character reference from a badphorm or nodpi member.
If having done the above, you still trust Phorm more than you trust me, I don't mind.
Because people fought and died to give me the human right to freedom and privacy.
Sadly, if you don't fight to protect your rights, you will lose them.
Phorm is an illegal mass surveillance & industrial espionage scam run by organised criminals.
I don't subcribe to the view that there can only be one marketplace for computer software. Regardless of the source of your software, you need to make a careful and critical case-by-case assessment of the software products you install on your computer, and the software developers who create them. AMO does not guarantee that hosted add-ons are safe to use, nor free from spyware. I don't need (or trust) a US company to host my software for me.
Secondly, I don't want to allow Mozilla to learn who has installed my software. It is none of their business! So my add ons are also configured to prevent your Firefox browser reporting the installation back to Mozilla. (Did you know, Firefox periodically reports a list of your installed add ons to AMO?).
Finally, I'm not seeking a mass audience for these add ons. They are not aimed at novice internet users. I don't need my ego massaged.
I'm in good company; other add ons which you won't find on AMO include HTTPS Everywhere (from EFF) and the HTTPS Finder.
Its free, its open source. But its not GPL.
That means you don't have to pay for it, you can view the source code, but you may not redistribute it, and some organisations are explicitly not licenced to use it.
The code is not licenced using GPL because I do not want ISPs to present or redistribute Dephormation or Secret Agent as the crutch to prop up criminal mass surveillance scams like Phorm.
Think about it this way. Phorm code isn't signed, and you and your ISP will never see the code Phorm have written. Yet all your web traffic will pass through their network systems.
Signing doesn't guarantee that code is safe. It guarantees that code, signed by someone who's identity may or may not have been verified by a certificate authority for a fee, hasn't been changed.
Here's how you can positively validate the code. Calculate an MD5 sum. If it matches the code on the download page, the code is probably untampered.
If you still don't want to trust my code, I don't mind.
Why no Internet Explorer/Chrome/Opera equivalent for Dephormation?
An Internet Explorer "Browser Helper Object" equivalent to Dephormation for Firefox/SeaMonkey has been developed. I'm hesitant to release it because it is more likely to destabilise your PC, and I'm unwilling to accept the burden of maintenance and support.
But you should also ask yourself where this absurd process would stop.
Every single web browser, every single web application using http, would need an add on like Dephormation to keep you opted out of Phorm.
Imagine how complex software installation will become if you have to do this for email clients like Outlook, media software like iTunes, instant messenging, feed readers, word processors like Word, Open Office, and other office productivity tools... Its ludicrous.
I've offered to write add ons for Virgin Media (at a bargain price of £0.25M each). But they haven't accepted.
The only effective way to avoid Phorm's spyware completely is moving to a trustworthy Phorm free ISP (see here for UK recommendations).
Probably not. In some circumstances, if your ISP has deployed Phorm's spyware products, blocking Phorm domains using DNS may even make it impossible to browse the internet.
Without the opt out cookie being present with each and every request from your web browser or other desktop application, you're opted in.
Delete the cookies, block the cookies, you're opting in.
Blocking cookies will make it more difficult to make use of the data gathered if Phorm do indeed profile your page requests.
To reiterate, the only effective way to avoid Phorm's spyware completely is moving to a trustworthy Phorm free ISP (see here for UK recommendations).
Dephormation seems to be capable of resisting the published cross site request forgery (CSRF) exploit which might otherwise cause you to be unwillingly opted back into Phorm.
Any subsequent page request would cause the opt in to be undone, and your opted out status restored.
Don't rely on Dephormation for long term protection; find a Phorm free ISP (see here for UK recommendations).
If so, sorry. You'll need to contact me via this contact form. Or get in touch via nodpi or badphorm forums (or ask one of the regulars to relay the details).
Should I close my account with my ISP?
Its your decision to take, your choice to make. I switched without hesitation.
Phorm partners clearly don't recognise or respect your right to privacy, security, and data integrity when they provide a communication service.
So I closed all my accounts with with Virgin Media and BT, and won't do business with TalkTalk.
I expect my suppliers to respect client confidentiality. I expect them to keep confidential the sender, recipient, content, and location of all my communications.
In the UK, I can recommend Aquiss.net (and I'm delighted with them). I can also firmly recommend UKFSN (the owner is a fellow campaigner) and Orpheus. See here for recommendations.
Use the Tools/Add-Ons dialog. Select Dephormation or Secret Agent and click remove. This removes the add on from your current Firefox profile.
Your opt out cookie/Phorm UID cookies will be unaffected. Assuming default settings, you will remain opted out (unless your cookies are deleted) but your UID will become static (because it is not being randomised by Dephormation).
If you choose not to use Dephormation, you should opt out using your ISPs mechanism, or switch to a Phorm free ISP for long term protection. See here for recommendations.
If you value the privacy, security, and data integrity of your internet connection... you need to find a Phorm free ISP.
In the UK you should not use BT, Virgin Media or TalkTalk as your internet service provider.
There are many other internet service providers who will not compromise privacy or quality of your data communications. I can confidently recommend Aquiss, UKFSN, Orpheus, but there are many others that have been recommended to me. Andrews and Arnold, Bethere, and The Phone Coop are often cited by people I trust.
I'd recommend you AVOID buying your broadband, phone, mobile, and television service from a single provider. Spread your service contracts around, and use DPA section 11 notices to require that your data is not used for marketing.
I'd also recommend you AVOID at all costs mobile broadband provided by 3, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone for reasons obvious from this Guardian article. Mobile operators are able to combine your profile with your location data too. Vodafone and 3 in particular are relaying communications data to Bluecoat in California (with or without your knowledge).
Me, and me alone. No fees. No sponsorship. No advertising. No ISP.
I do accept donations of ideas, and software. But haven't been offered anything else, yet.

That portfolio helped him take a multi-year sabbatical to deal with heartbreaking personal tragedy when his wife passed away in 2014.
Before his wife passed away, Jay thought he was financially prepared. After going through the experience of being the executor of his wife's estate, he realized he wasn't.
Today, Jay makes an impact raising his three children and empowering Fathers to secure their Family's Financial Future as the founder of Prepared Fathers. Check out his website here.
