- chaz72 10y agoNonsense. I would think a government would be perfectly capable of hiring experts. I would fully expect them to have different motivations than industry and academic experts, but I would think they could easily - and fairly cheaply - minimize some of Congress's stupidest misunderstandings.
- gnaritas 10y agoThat's patently silly since the government is "the" expert on much tech that only it has. Who do you think has and maintains our nuclear arsenal? You think the CIA is clueless on tech? Who again was spying on Google's internal network... idiots that don't know anything about tech? Who is performing mass surveillance, idiots that don't know anything about tech?
- original_idea 10y ago"agency" is the key word there. Individuals aside. bureaucrats tend to kill anything/everything.
