I don’t see a contradiction here. If control is out of the hands of decision makers, that’s a supply chain risk
. Were it not for that, the service is seen as critical to national security.
I dunno, safeguard seems like a weasel word here. It’s just reserving control to one party over another. It’s understandable why the DoD(W) wouldn’t like that.
- bubblewand 7mo agoI'm pretty sure you (and others) are trying to apply some kind of guess at the "supply chain risk" designation, but it means something specific. Here's the term defined in an official context: https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-risk https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-....

- seliopou 7mo agoThat link is broken for me but I assume you meant to link to [0]. I think if there is a “safeguard” in a system, that definitely fits the bill of a supply chain risk. The only vague term here is “adversary”. [0]: https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-risk https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-....
- bubblewand 7mo agoUgh, sorry for the broken link, I even pasted the same string into a new tab to make sure it worked because I thought the period at the end looked weird, and it was fine. Dunno how it got mangled. [EDIT] Oh man, yours is like that too? WTF. [EDIT2] If I follow your link, hit the 404 page, then add a period at the end of the URL, it does load. God that's strange.
- seliopou 7mo agoWell, we ended up on the same page in any case, in at least one sense.
- bubblewand 7mo agoYes, we both accurately located and linked to the "page not found" page. That gave me a good, actual LOL, thanks for that one.
- emmelaich 7mo agoDid you edit it to fix it? Is HN refusing to include the period as part of the URL?
- layer8 7mo agoWorking link: https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-risk%2e https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-... HN separates trailing dots from URLs, so that you can have working URLs at the end of a sentence. Hence you have to percent-encode trailing dots if they are a necessary part of the actual URL. (Same for some other punctuation characters, probably.) This behavior is common for auto-hyperlinking of URLs in running text, so it’s bad practice to have such URLs.
- ASalazarMX 7mo agoSince the link is still broken, I tried encoding the final dot as %2E https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-risk%2E https://www.acquisition.gov/dfars/252.239-7018-supply-chain-...
