Soylent Pudding posted:More and more the only way I think we'll ever get anything approaching decent cybersecurity is to start holding software "engineers" and IT professionals to the same rigorous standards we hold the engineers building the rest of our infrastructure. Most IT Engineers, including me, already stick to those standards. Its Accounting and the Executive Managers that refuse to let us practice them. I force most of my clients who refuse to implement security standards because of 'costs' to sign waivers releasing me from responsibility. And then I charge them when they have accidents. I mean, gently caress, most large companies treat IT as a cost sink with no ROI despite the fact that IT is more and more often becoming the core of medium to large business, and refuse to spend on anything let alone IT security. Want a simple Audit? gently caress no, that cost money. Want to implement better firewall and server standards? Sorry, not in the budget. Hell, its fun trying to even get companies to work on a 5 year IT plan, let alone retire Server 2003 boxes and old Linux boxes that haven't seen an update in 10 years.

Don Jr. isn't very smart, is he? Or does he just think because daddy's in power he can't basically tighten his own noose and dad will get him out of it?

Hexyflexy posted:The whole male side of the family is weirdo. I tried a few months ago to equate how Trump senior acts in relation to pattern recognition systems I've worked on, it was kind of eye opening. I can't talk about the psychology etc, I've never studied that, but I can talk about how he responds to utterances. In a normal person like any of us, you've got a simple systems outline: some stimulus -> brain state that we haven't got a loving clue how it works -> some response you make. That gives you all the complexities of intelligence and I suspect I'll be long dead before we understand it. Trump and his ilk at the sort of disconnected rich folks you only read about that, while on paper are well read and studied, are generally so far disconnected from reality that they cannot react to normal situations without constantly tripping over their own words faster than someone rolling down the stairs. At least that's my take away. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Jul 10, 2017 |

You can't really downplay Russia's involvement when Don Jr. can't even cover his own rear end in saying they were directly feeding them information to sway voters or dissuade them.

Its hard to realize anything when you are sure you are the smartest man in the room. Which is darkly ironic considering all reports from people who have worked with Trump that he largely just repeats whatever he's heard.

Blind Rasputin posted:From some information coming in from sources police are saying that right before being shot she was overheard telling the driver, "that's not a knife. This is a knife." Crocodile Dundee, if directed by Christopher Columbus. hobbesmaster posted:The other cop was acquitted at trial so if his cop is convicted at trial then it's on the juries of the twin cities. In theory at least. Doesn't really change anything, there's still a strong tendency for juries to acquit in police shooting cases if the victim was black versus white, as well as an unwillingness for prosecutors to fully push the case. Which still highlights BLM's complaint.

How much you want to bet any challenge Trump's lawyers raise gets blown out of the water by Mueller. Trump doesn't actually seem to hire very good lawyers.... ...much like his cabinet picks.

Dead Reckoning posted:McConnell understands the optics of firing Mueller, the optics of all of Donnie's dirty laundry getting aired out, and the risk that there is more dirt than he knows about. The Republicans can't disentangle themselves from Trump without losing the next election. If he thinks Mueller is going to present something damning, all he has to do is call Trump and say, "If you fire Mueller right now, the Congressional majority will protect you." He can spin that, and if he can't, then it's on Trump. He couldn't even guarantee passing a repeal with a stacked Senate. He's not going to get that.

Anyways, a couple days ago I posted about Ark Encounter selling their entire Ark and park to their ministry for $10, despite an $18 Million Tax Rebate Welp, Kentucky caught on, and sent them a letter telling them they get no more rebates on taxes past the 28th of July. Especially as, on the Ark Encounter website, they highlight that its a for-profit venture, which is in violation of the ministrie's Non-Profit status. I hope Kentucky goes after them hard. Also: A Judge in Sparta, TN has approved a program for inmates that gives them credit towards time serve on their jail sentences if they agree to sterilize themselves. http://fusion.kinja.com/tennessee-inmates-are-being-offered-a-horrifying-choice-1797100263 CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Jul 21, 2017 |
