Chickens. Roost. Etc.
I guess the thing to say is this: our technical, electrical, and other modern infrastructure seems to be in similar state to our roads and bridges -- it was once very good, but after a generation of cheaping out on investments and not managing or maintaining it appropriately, it's full of problems and cracks.
So whatever your opinion about roads, it's probably appropriate here too -- and for much of modern infrastructure.
- Chaebixi 9y agoI don't think that's entirely accurate. It's not like the assets decayed due to lack of maintenance; they're more or less the same as they always were. It's just that they were never built to handle security requirements that are now required.
- lightedman 9y agoHalf of those security requirements wouldn't even be requirements if they'd stop being lazy and quit relying upon the internet for everything. Actual human presence at sufficient levels to ensure operation and security, at all times. Voice verification up the chain, airgapped. Sure it's slow but it works and doesn't leave your critical infrastructure open to easy attack.
- jjt-yn_t 9y agoYes, but the third sentence makes it sound inexpensive to take the planning, all-inclusive, to a reasonable expectation of security that is fully implemented. [
