Amen. Not just bad faith; ignorant, myopic and ahistorical.
> this sounds like a traditional government project problem -- susceptibility to corruption, vanity, hubris etc.
said the person on a web forum (the web comes from CERN, a gov project) over the internet (the internet comes from DARPA, a gov project) on a computer (ever heard of the ENIAC? a gov project)
Tech bros mouthing off off-topicly about the government is the most tedious and boring thing ever.

- Jedd 6y ago> Amen. Not just bad faith; ignorant, myopic and ahistorical. Referring to GP's wikipedia reference, can you explain the two 'for unknown reasons' on a) why the original (Canadian) contract was not engaged, and b) the Turkish project was not engaged. What precisely was ashistorical about any of my post? > > this sounds like a traditional government project problem -- susceptibility to corruption, vanity, hubris etc. > said the person on a web forum (the web comes from CERN, a gov project) over the internet (the internet comes from DARPA, a gov project) on a computer (ever heard of the ENIAC? a gov project) I really am bewildered. Are you claiming that because I'm using the Internet I am not authorised to claim that any government project in any country at any time is beyond questioning? > Tech bros mouthing off off-topicly about the government is the most tedious and boring thing ever. Goodness. I'm sorry you're bored, I'm not a tech bro, claims of poorly run projects within the land of the pure isn't off-topic to the claims made.
