Re: Awesome
So how many times are we going to see such technical decisions that are made by people who have no idea of what those decisions imply?
They're politicians not techies. Here in the States there's only a couple of legislators who have a grasp of the issue. The rest (not tech knowledgeable types) want votes, not solutions and thus they come up with stupid solutions to complex problems. It's not just tech stuff, but pretty much anything more than a decision on the dinner menu and maybe what wine goes with what dish.
You can't spin bullshit if your audience is 100x more knowledgeable than you.
See above, not for us techies but votes and <cough>campaign contributions<cough>. So far, techies have been ignored or (in the case of Zuck's appearance in Congress) asked about issues that pretty basic or downright wrong. The "baffle them with BS" answers seemed to have satisfied those legislators.
