Determining which organizations should be charged with third-party security audits / regulation in an already complicated regulatory landscape (orgs may already be providing security info to 2-3 regulators in different formats is chall

I don’t work a lot with clojure but while perhaps, as you say, “businesses may not care about code purity“, consistent behavior of code, a more functional approach, and the ability to reason about what will happen in code can lead to signif

I’d imagine that if you happen to work in the industry, then you would know if what you were hearing was a problem. From what I’ve read, those with clearances that hear something outside of a secure area are obligated to report it immediate

That sounds right. Good for you for going out for it. Hiring / firing in government is certainly not helping the situation, and budget fights are always a struggle.

It is, but people are terrible about it anyway. At a minimum, it is a field day for social engineering attacks because you can learn to speak in the languages / abstractions of that specific organization which automatically leads to tr

I would argue in this case that there is no "exactly how to fix it" when it comes to public sector technology, that said - you're absolutely right. Organizations often want the competence and then align things against compete

How much would a localized AI cost to implement, and would you pay it for a thermostat? As a result, you're lowering your one-time capital cost by connecting to the internet instead, perhaps? I like that I can check on the house from m

More remarkable than ecopassages are the underpasses built specifically for canals or major rivers. There are a few of these on the way from Den Haag to Utrecht that are pretty mind-boggling. It's also interesting to see cargo shipping

It is illogical, but allows policing when things are perceived to "get out of hand" which is an interesting way to have things both ways (both as citizens, and as law enforcement). It's a delicate balance that could be easily

Packaging arcane structures and securitizing them has a huge impact on overall risk in the market and enables pretty significant cost reductions downstream (generally) in the markets that can offload the risk via the security. I understand

Yes, but it helps that they are not weighed down by the requirement to carry inventory, have brick and mortar stores, and are primarily in a services business (logistics as a service, compute as a service, etc). This is, of course, by desig

Is this figure for an infrastructure that requires failover capability (potentially remotely) and does it assume 100% utilization of the bare metal? That seems crazy high, but I'd also believe it.

Not necessarily on-topic but we could send people up right now on short notice on the Dragon - we just happen to really want astronauts to come back alive and do everything possible to ensure that outcome. If this threshold was lowered as w

This seems like a great way to increase the capability of your nuclear arsenal without adding more nuclear material / missiles. While I understand this tips the balance a bit in terms of lethality, I would consider it much less destabi

That's a good fallback option, though it's still difficult to control turnover and feel like you are aligned in terms of value using that approach. You'd want to find somebody that you trust and bring them on in that special

Outsourcing of technical capability (especially prevalent in government) bites you hard when you lose the ability to work directly with your contract teams and have to rely on their direction. (Especially if the management is non-technical)

I second (third?) Paglen’s work in this space. His book “I could tell you but then you’d have to be destroyed by me” is excellent.

You’re right - that said thinking about both of these aspects and their contributions is interesting. I appreciate you bringing up the distinction.

I agree with you in terms of overall violence. It’s improved mightily and generally I’d say corruption levels are not expected to be high. I might disagree in terms of usage of heavy equipment, body armor, and prevalence of swat team raids

Let me get this straight - this author is trying to tie post-war US Spending to counter Soviet policies, fear of communist expansion, and the cold war, to the current state of police budgets and behavior in the United States? (so they can u

Isn't the purpose of the trial so that you can figure that out? It beats on-site full day unpaid demo work, gives you a task and allows you to work remotely with a team around the world for a wage outside of working hours. Seems pretty

For what it's worth, shareholders are also getting slammed, but they can always sell to get away. Not always an option for folks that are employed at the organization.

I think there is a distinction to be made between removing a direct contact to a person using your platform, and removing a link to another competing platform to different content. (If you're linking to the same listing on another plat

Removing links to other platforms is anti-competitive full stop. Threatening de-verification due to links is even worse. This is the behavior of monopolists. The FTC and existing anti-trust organizations would do well to return to their job
