This reeks of some ripoff publishing scheme authors are tricked into by publishers (where they essentially lose control if their own product.) Walled gardens are the main scenario where you’ll see absolutely mental cost schemes like these.

So if something legitimate is being promoted by a "cult leader", it makes it illegitimate?

Avid reader here, just signed up. There's always room for new methods for discovering reading material. Not to pry on your secret sauce, but if you're open would be good to hear how you're trying to do the discovery part diff

In less than 18 months there will be a startup (likely from Israel) who will provide this kind of service for US Government, and it will normalize and move from state to commercial /prediction

Well aware. Fun fact: farming subsidies and military spending are pretty much 1:1 over here. (Around 2,7 billion €)

Greetings fellow LORCA alumni, you're solving a real problem but the website doesn't really tell that story as well as your comment. I also think SME's care very little of CVE prioritization whereas enterprise fights this pro

Many will be, since you have to factor that it is not only the raw produce of food that needs to be calculated in the equation, but also all inputs needed in producing that food, e.g. fuel, fertilizers, equipment, energy. Take Finland as an

Unfortunately I don't have a good answer, but I suspect it doesn't need to be a 0 or 1 situation -- having a decent percentage of the needs covered is better than having very little. Unfortunately a trend I'm seeing in my cou

I was not acutely aware of this, but is a perfect example of what will happen in severe crisis scenarios: countries will ensure their own survival over others'.

An event like this, or anything else with a significant impact on food production is something many people should be absolutely prepared for. A bulk of countries, including where I live, are completely dependant on importing food. What do y

I fully admit to taking offense with people like you who drop illogical zero-value comments into discussions with the intent of causing arguments. That is why I dont use Twitter. Please read the HN guidelines before making your next comment

I am a Finnish (European Union) citizen and the fact that the EU has a fragile structure has literally nothing to do with the regional wars you've been fighting. It's a strawman of the worst kind and one that I'm tired of hea

Absolutely. The cyber security asymmetry in play. I'm actually working on this problem so it's very close to heart!

Having competency in red team scenarios doesn't translate to having a cyber-proof national infrastructure, as is evident. They are actually two wildly different problem sets. And the latter is boring & unsexy.

Good mindset for big corp, not so for small biz. Waiting for someone to upskill and gain momentum for 6-12 months means a lost lump sum of money that can kill your business.

I don't think it would be a hugely wrong to say both ends of the spectrum think they're "outside" of the normal world. Their world has different rules and morals and thus they would be executing along those. In their wor

I've found Nassim Taleb's Pricipia Politica to be an interesting suggestion of how to move from abstract universalism to fractal localism . This specifically has the intent of avoiding top-down power structures and the fragilit

Over time, this will incentivize local players to also degrade their quality. The best answer is probably somewhere in between the extremes.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but my comment is to the person advocating fault-tolerant systems, segmentation and the other things as panaceas to the situation. These are not new concepts in the security industry. In fact

From a risk perspective you're advocating bundling all of your eggs in one basket - perfect fault-tolerance & prevention - whilst that is actually a system nobody has built in the history of computing. Neither detection or preventi
