I've read a lot about how due to the problems with attributing attacks to skilled hacker groups with any accuracy, everyone focuses on attacking, rather than defense. As a result, US cyberdefense is not good.

The Glumslinger posted:Its also that you can attack with a single group (the nsa), but you have to defend every server in the country. Which requires money, so states are still running all of their poo poo on windows ME because lol at money going to IT infrastructure for upgrades. And companies too, because people and companies get (understandably) really really mad when the intelligence agencies want to take a look to investigate or whatnot. Unlike China, because corporations there are in bed with the government anyways.

NYTimes said she was the main proponent for intervention there that seems to have led to a chaotic "failed state." http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/hillary-clinton-was-liberal-hillary-clinton-is-liberal/ Her voting record. Or I guess she could've just been pandering for the cause of her career right? Right?? Edit: gently caress I wonder how many people would've decried the administrations if they had never gone into interventions. Hell Clinton gets shat on for not intervening in Rwanda, which was an awful thing. Goddamn. Turns out life is hard. Artificer fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Oct 6, 2016 |

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:His thought process is that he's racist misogynist trash and he eats attention for food. If the spelling were worse I'd assume Trump figured out how to open Chrome on his phone. Someone else posted that he was posting in good faith. He might be...terribly misinformed. But let's see if he can walk us through his thought process. Edit: I don't hold a lot of confidence that he isn't a troll, but sure let's give this one thing a shot.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I have no idea how to reconcile things like this with my opposition to the death penalty. I sincerely wish we'd taken Bin Laden alive and put him on trial, but maybe I'm naive. What would that trial even have been, could it possibly have been fair, would there have been any verdict but death at the end of it anyway. I do not envy anyone who has to make any foreign policy decisions other than "yes we will let reese's cups be sold in the UK."

NikkolasKing posted:I don't like Hillary and thus was mildly interested in the entirely remote possibility Assange had something on her. I already said I had no intention to vote because I didn't like either one and that my vote wouldn't matter. Apparently I was wrong about that. YES. JESUS gently caress. The PRESIDENT nominates SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. The GOP has shown that they cannot control Trump. They're going to bend over backwards for the fucker. Turns out a bunch of people thinking their votes doesn't matter DOES MATTER. And also someone did mention its a referendum basically on Trump Discourse. MILDLY INTERESTED? You literally posted that you were HOLDING OUT HOPE.

Cythereal posted:Asian-Americans don't have the same experience in the modern US that African-Americans, Latin-Americans, and Middle Eastern-Americans do. In the modern political climate they're virtually honorary white people by and large, though there are exceptions like that ad from the other day. Oh yes. Additionally, I was wondering about how many of those Asians outraged about the ad immediately turned around and agreed that banning Muslims/gently caress affirmative action and provide no substitions were good and proper ideas.

Cythereal posted:Yep. That's one of the potential cracks in the DNC - a lot of racial minorities tend to be strongly conservative in most respects, especially social issues. Except for the matter of racism (and religious prejudice in the case of Muslims). Some of these minorities were once solid and reliable GOP voting blocs (Muslims IIRC voted consistently for the GOP at rates upwards of 90% until 9/11 and now are just as consistent voting blue - take a wild guess why), and have been driven into the arms of the DNC by how violently xenophobic the GOP has become. Evangelical Asians for one don't care about the xenophobia. So once again evangelicals are the worst.

Nessus posted:Because the left wing doesn't want to hear any war noises and the right wing wishes Putin was in charge over here in all his manly, queer-bashing glory. Don't intervene: get shat on for letting atrocities take place. Intervene: get blamed for a costly military quagmire. Yeah I mean sure military interventions are often really poorly thought out (no exit strategies lol) but Jesus Christ what a mess.

Previously a lot of clergy had been against DNA evidence for rape since Islamic law requires multiple eyewitnesses instead. Oh yeah absolutely.
