These comments disturb me more than the article. Saying more cameras prevent crime is like saying more logging reduces your attack surface. Let's just ditch firewalls and add kernel dumps everywhere instead. My rate is $150 an hour.
Sometimes, HNs political naivety deeply undermines their technological contributions.

What if your firewalls cost each about £30,000/yr (plus benefits), have only 40 hours weekly uptime, and you need like a bunch of them around in the city all the time for this to work at all?
- sighsigh 12y agoRed herring. Price points on techniques that actually reduce your attack surface do not make techniques that don't magically gain abilities. Go ahead. Disable SSH, firewalls, and VPNs and just run loggers all day. I'm sure you'll feel super duper secure then. Heuristics never fail! My rate is $150 an hour and I will create the most perfect and secure and tiniest attack surface for your brand new logging cluster.
