I agree with you. NSA or NIST should be tasked. On the other hand, its their mess and they should clean it up.

CIA needs to work with the tech community to patch the vulnerabilities, and the US business community for awareness of the vulnerabilities. The cat is out of the bag and CIA's mission is very much consistent with a direct defense effor

"We will have to write off one to two entire generations". This from one industrial client who manages a workforce in the rural and suburban south. Why? The skills gap. Drug abuse, particularly meth. Competition from disability, w

Most cases settle when the parties run out of money. That's inherently bad from a public policy perspective, but nobody cares. As for child support, the funds wasted trying to determine both parties incomes and on discovery is the issu

No, that's not his position. His position is probably this: Judges are constrained by case load and the limits of the law - so even without an agenda outcomes are often bad. Add to that their reliance on 3rd parties and the attorneys a

A prenuptial is almost worthless when the marriage involves children because statute prevails. Its useless because in most cases attorneys are exceptionally good at persuading clients to expend fees for discovery, hearings, etc. that have l

Its not marriage. It is legislation around marriage and children that reflects the disproportionate number of voters and political doners who either don't care, are misinformed, or benefit from the system.

I didn't say most men. I said thousands in my state. And, the problem is worse than you know. For every man jailed for non-payment of support there are (anecdotally) probably 50 or so desperately struggling to meet their support obliga

OP is correct. About 4m US citizenship applications per year. That's a LOT of folks wanting a US Passport.

Tip of iceberg. I'm a divorced father of two sons and lucky enough to have a position that gives me some (not a lot) of flexibility in work schedule. The Courts, as many divorced fathers will say, haven't heard the news about the

The insanity of the immigration debate is the amount of jobs that will be lost to automation, consolidation and decreased domestic investment. The wage gains and skill gaps that will result from decreased immigration (legal or illegal) are

Purchased two linux desktops from them. Neither lasted more than a year. Purchased two small servers, both doing fine. Overall I can't really recommend them.

Pro tip for whistleblowers: Hire an attorney before you blow the whistle, and listen to their advice. Preferably an attorney who has litigated against your employer in the past. If you simply must write a diatribe beforehand then stick the

So many questions... What does this say about Google's hiring, about its employee's values, about values across the tech community? I can remember a time when managements would have shut this down, when employees would have said,

Yes: "why the heck are we centralizing the web to 2 or 3 infrastructure companies". Its a systemic asset, unregulated, in a world where every systemic asset is regulated (eg. utilities, transportation infrastructure, etc.).

Watching web services fall like dominoes!

Its unreal watching key web services fall like dominoes. Its too bad the concept of "too big to fail" applies only to large banks and countries.

That is NOT the point of our democracy. The people have power every two years where congress and 1/3 of the states are concerned; and distant power every four years as they vote for electors to the electoral college. The people have li

There is some truth to this. However, instead of talking about the disturbing content in the leaked DNC and Podesta documents, the media only wishes to report on how this authentic content came to light. The deflection and bias is staggerin

To date the public only knows with certainty that the Podesta and DNC documents that leaked are authentic. We know the contents of those documents are deeply disturbing. We know that instead of talking about that disturbing content, the med

Key question is not, is there a "deep state". The question is this... does the deep state have US National interests at heart, or are they another special interest group pursuing their own interests. Several ways to tell: - Where
