[clug] Dangerous Dave's talk

[Dodgy Dave]

I think a more engineering approach is to assess the risks (write them 
down), and then attempt to mitigate/cover those risks one by one, 
assessing them for strengths and weaknesses. Pretty boring, but quite 
likely to give the best outcomes in the end.

For each 'solution' element, what are the risks that it covers, and how 
well? Are there better ways to do the same thing? Are the risks real, or 
just 'tin foil' material? Are they practical? At what 'cost' or level of 
difficulty, etc
