There’s a requirement that buildings need to have building plans that are personally approved and vouched for by a credentialed Professional Engineer, who takes personal liability—up to and including criminal liability for negligent homicide—if the building collapses and harms people due to a design flaw. I think that’s a good model for this type of problem.
- EricE 5y agoYes - computer "science" is a joke. I'm certainly not one for rampant regulation, but this is an area that needs to get seriously beefed up. Especially with the right systems far more people can be harmed than by a building collapse :p
- hereforphone 5y agoComputer science is a real science and is fine. It is not however engineering. Anyway, the problems lie in the information security industry, which is amateur in comparison.
- throwawayboise 5y agoYes, corporate IT is basically equivalent to 1800's era factory technology. It works, but there are massive safety issues.
- hulitu 5y agoThe technology is there. You just have to use it. It does not help however, that the most popular mobile and desktop OSs make money with your data which leads to absymal security practices.
- maccolgan 5y agoPerhaps it's indeed time for serious companies (these are definitely not MVPs) to have security insurance and they'd mandate some standard.
