Worth giving some credit though - mitigation is important for something as critical as 911 service.
Hopefully they're also tracking the design flaws, and yes that's worth following (and asking whether they're planning to do so?), but bear in mind people have limited time and resources, so don't be too hard on them (or they'll be less willing to help and investigate in future).
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 8y agoI completely disagree. Mitigation with a patch applied in a few hours is acceptable, but mitigation DAYS after a multi-day outage of critical services that have life or death consequences is completely unacceptable.
- mikeash 8y agoI completely agree. I wouldn’t expect them to have this fix already, since it probably requires some major work. But some mention that they’ll be looking into it would certainly be nice.
- vmchale 8y ago> people have limited time and resources, so don't be too hard on them (or they'll be less willing to help and investigate in future). yes, clearly knocking out 911 service for millions of people isn't a problem. won't someone think of the poor programmers??
