   This is a decent article on some of the underlying standards: http://www.radio-electronics.com/articles/cellular-telecoms/... I worked on an implementation of an IPSEC VPN using SIM auth for IMS. GSM standards are

   Of course it's legitimate, that this is gray right now is silly. That why we use encryption for communications, because we're expecting them to try.

   That seems like a rather limited view of location in the opposite. We feel emotion in all of us including our brains.

   If there's anything we've learned from the last 20 years in security it's that the user is the least fit to decide. They are bad at passwords, they are bad at clicking things in email, they just are not security conscious. &q

   I'm unsure why you're sure he's not an authority. This is HN, not some random group of people Seems like he has a decent background to know what he's talking about.

   Reading about this, it really seems like a scam. Are people actually forking over these kinds of "tuitions"? I have a non-traditional background and learned on the job. There's no way I'd have paid anywhere near this.

   Half a million a year in profits / wages is definitely a bit beyond lifestyle business. In wages it's possible top of field in something that really matters to a large enterprise. In profit, it's a whole lot of work in a very

   Depends on what you think you're trying to protect against. Having foreign powers or foreign mafias in control of large parts of your infrastructure seems like a big threat.

   I'm not sure what that's actually saying. So they didn't make a mistake?

    > most people only end up unmotivated because of poor management I don't find this to be a self evident truth. Can you provide some argumentation around this?

    Only because we insist that everyone work 8 hours a day to eat and have a place to live though we don't have to.

    The product of your work does more than 3x what you could do by yourself though, that's why it's valued more / differently. A similar argument would be made for effective organizers and the force multiplication of coordinated

    It runs inside networks you control at least at the configuration level, so I would say so.

    I tend to think that doing physical work, understanding what's involved, is educational, informative, and motivating. A significant part of the world does work with their body. It's important in having empathy for other "clas

    This seems fundamentally unresponsive to the parent. What is the true cost of water and infrastructure? Who decides? In any case it's not a desert which was your original statement so do you retract that?

    I find this disturbing in a way I can't quite quantify. Kids should do things, not just appear to do things because they're clever about outsourcing to someone worse off.

    The thing is, the basis on meaning in your life is always stuff unsupported by evidence in the scientific sense of the word. You're not going to get very far with reasoning if you can't see the black hole of logical positivism. (M

    International legal agreements for criminal charges are pretty limited (AFAIK IANAL). I guess I could see internet service disruption becoming subject to international law but it seems also to introduce another vector for abuse.

    It's interesting the amount of hate and either rumors of bad experience or bad experiences directly. I interviewed for an SRE position last September and they were clearly trying very hard to make it a good experience no matter the out
