As said, I don't think discussing this makes sense, as our perceptions of reality seem to be fundamentally incompatible. But regardless, let's try a different perspective: PR/Public perception The moment multiple well-known m

You do realize that the people relying on the service also get served wormable malware, right? The service is already disrupted. It is not that a disruption could be _avoided_. The discussion makes no sense. ___ Hell, even if I would be com

Look, man, I understand all that, but pulling the plug is something that takes at most 90s. Let's say 300s to add the "Warning: There is an attack. We're working on it. Systems are down for now" box After that, you have

People have all right to be angry if basic responsible adult things like "quarantine the server spreading large amounts of malware" do not happen within the reasonable timespan that passed. Not even a news. A hint. Nothing. Radio

Love the starchart at the bottom of the repo readme. Really conveys that sense of urgency + the stakes tied to a major malware attack like that.

Oh but it does. The thing that makes it scale is to default to "no" and require the other party to convince you of "yes". Just put the burden of proof where it belongs. If they don't manage, then that's their p

You seem to be arguing against something I did not say?

Sure, but that doesn't mean that you can't filter signal from noise. So the actual problem statement is not "how do I keep up" but "how do I correctly tune my filter", which is solvable. The biggest challenge t

Keep up with what? We've already established that most of it is noise. You don't need to keep up with producing noise.

Some of us actually take the "engineering" in "software engineering" seriously. That includes taking responsibility and accountability so that the software doesn't become a sad and dangerous mess. If we want to be a

Sure, but that's a completely different discussion. Plus that even with such a small scale of the "inside", the thing fails gracefully. It is arguably a failure mode, yes, but it is one that leaves a functioning system (albei

Yes but ethical responsibilities are entirely irrelevant, because that crazy person would still bioweapon you, and you kinda do not want that. So regardless of if they're evil/bad/crazy or not, you still want to have that not

I mean arguably, we _could_ create conditions in which it is much less likely for people to start developing such a novel genetically engineered virus. If you think about the factors that lead to people wanting to do such a thing, they&#x27

Hmm, good point. "My outlook" might actually be correct. Depending on if it is a webapp or the real one running on your device that is. Similiar to "My game just crashed". Jira otoh is not yours, because it's in the

Nah, man. It's deterministic. If the input sets flags, then output will be "this set flags for me". No need to make it emotional like that. Besides, I have simply told you that these aspects set flags for me. Others might not

I think the criticism is less about whether the lede is good at achieving its goal and more about whether that goal is honorable in the first place. So dismissing it on technicalities is for sure clever but also obvious and lame. The Letter
