One of the very unfortunate side effects of the Internet is it amplifying the actions of sick bastards like this guy. Before they'd more often than not operate alone with less impact. Now they can search and find others and learn from and be encouraged by each other. Of course it isn't just sexual deviants that this amplifies, but political deviants as well. MAGAts.
But, but, her emails....
Fucking hypocritical shitheads.
Not sure about the part where the author says Hegseth's personal computer was attached to unclassified network. Other outlets reported he asked to have Signal installed on his unclassified system. This would be okay, if it weren't for Hegseth's propensity to use it for communication he shouldn't. Really, the asshole shouldn't have a clearance. It goes without saying he's unqualified for SecDef.
Our own companies put us in this situation threatening national security to save a few bucks. Our govt didn't stop them. Those of us in national security sectors of the govt were labeled cranks and fools when we pointed out what was happening. Undoing this isn't going to be easy, nor cheap, and I frankly don't think many people have the stomach for it.
If Trump hadn't shit on all our allies, we could have tried a cooperative approach with Japan, Germany, France, et al to onshore various segments amongst ourselves over the next several years. The most we can hope for is they do it as we've proven ourselves completely mental and incapable of sanely managing our own affairs.
But, the same forces that helped push us to where we are, are also at work in those countries. Let's hope their citizens learn from our stupidity and change course or else we'll all be in the fascist shitter together.
There is no "return authority over education to the States and local communities." That is where it is, and ever has been. ED doesn't dictate how to educate; it doesn't micromanage the states. It mostly distributes funds, conducts research, and ensures the states adheres to Federal law and the Constitution. Most of the discourse about the dept has come from the Right, so this propaganda is what most people have heard. That ED dictates education policy and implementation methods is a Republican lie carefully calculated to gain support for the destruction of ED.
They are not following the laws and regulations that cover dismissal. You can't fire these people without cause.
Furthermore, Congress has passed laws that mandate the funding of these agencies at specific levels. In the US, Federal budgets are laws, not suggestions. Supposedly, even the President is supposed to obey the laws. But don't tell that to the Supreme Court; they've recently ruled that the President is beyond the law.
The President has ultimate authority in deciding who should have a clearance. Therefore, I'm sure she'll be granted the access she needs to do her job. All that happens during the onboarding process.
Whether her issues were considered before her hiring is another matter entirely. Probably considered a plus to poke the Biden administration in the eye....
Musk cries whenever anything gets in his way. He thinks he's entitled to do anything and everything the way he wants it, regardless of the law. If he wouldn't violate securities regulations all the time the SEC would leave him alone.
He wants wants wants like a spoiled brat. I wish he'd just get his ass to Mars already.
The FTC having such a small budget and workforce isn't surprising if you take into account that Republicans don't want it to exist, and Democrats are beholden to corporate overlords for campaign money. The former is the same reason the IRS has such a small enforcement division, even though every dollar spent on enforcement returns almost three in owed taxes.
This is all more evidence that we need to move to exclusively public funded elections to help minimize the grossly outsized influence of the top 1% of earners in the US.
Personally, having worked IT in a couple of different three-letter classified environments, I think corporations that produce security sensitive software have dropped the ball on air-gapping their dev systems a long time ago. eg I found RSA's breach to be astonishing.
The exact same thing could be said about the Chinese. When the US offered to let those Chinese studying in America stay after the Tiananmen Square massacre, my first thought was that this would be a HUMINT boon to the CCP, and I'm sure it was. Plenty of those studying here had aspirations to intelligence careers, and the rest all had family back home who would be hostage to the CCP's demands of those not willing to cooperate. All the same can be said about Russians abroad.
"Now, on the whole, the right are more likely to be COVID deniers but in this instance I don't care about that. The State did wrong and it needs to be on recorded at court that they did wrong, and that's the entire reason for the case."
Tsk, tsk. You're assuming the statements in the case are factual. This is funded by a Cock brother, and you should be more sceptical.
We who live in CA already have to buy special gas heaters and water heaters that adds about 25% to the cost.
Both our water heaters are relatively new, but our furnace is aged, at least 30 years old. I guess we'll be replacing it right before the ban. I already have a rediculous PG&E monthly bill over $300, and that's with our roof covered with solar. Too many older servers, plus other misc electronic kit. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay to have new electrical installed to power the water heaters and furnace. I'll fucking drive to a nearby state and buy what I need. Almost did that with the last water heater I bought.
"No data from remote PCs ever traverses a network – remote users see only bitmaps."
So, pray tell, how does one log in? How does input happen? Are bitmaps not data? All of this is valuable info for an adversary and must be taken into account, and marketing bullshit claiming no data traverses the network is disingenuine. Some may see this as a quibble, but it's not.
One of Teradici's first markets, if not the first, was classified diskless workstation computing. Not long before the introduction of PCoIP there started a big push in the US Federal govt to move classified clients to diskless solutions. Unfortunately, most widely known solutions were thin clients that weren't suitable for anything beyond simple office computing. Teradici's product aimed to overcome these limitations by providing remote access to workstations, instead of the terminal servers that were in vogue at the time.
The UK is in this position thanks to Russian misinformation/campaigning for Brexit, voter apathy, and the moronic Brexiteers themselves. WTF did the Brexiteers think was going to happen? Instead of being a big fish in an economically-strong hurd, they are now a rogue hamster that is going to get squashed between the jostling big three rabid hippopotami, China, the EU, and the US. This is what Brexiteers were selling, and way too many morons bought into it. So now they can reap the milkshakes they've sown. The UK's only choice is to enjoy their hamstership, join BRICS if it ever turns into an effective trade block, or go crawling back to the EU with their kneepads on and ready swallow.
You sorta beat me to it. I wanted to say that I have no beef with ASAT systems as long as they result in de-orbiting all the components of the satellite. There is enough junk floating around in space as it is.
Just think of poor Endor and all the shit left in orbit after the Rebel Alliance blew up the second Death Star....
Commuting is not part of actual work. If they had to use their car to visit clients, then yes, CA law requires reimbursement.
What about use of their domicile as office space? That also should be reimbursed. This is especially pertinent to employers who have decided they like not having to pay for office space and all that goes with it.
Amazon is simply displaying the increased trend over the last 50+ years to compensate employees less and redistribute wealth upward to the maximum extent they can get away with. Fuck them.
"Here is a story about Apple, an American company, censoring freedom of speech at the behest of an authoritarian government.
Does it really matter if it is only in China or do we only give a shit when it affects us?"
No, what matters is my original statement, facts, and semantics.
Apple's cooperation with China's government was done under color of law, and therefore isn't similar AT ALL to what Lithuania has discovered.
Cite one single similar instance of such an egregious breach of freedom of speech perpetrated by an EU, UK, Japanese, or US firm to back up your baseless accusation. Don't just spout contrarian bullshit you anonymous coward.
Thank you to Lithuania and their contribution to international freedom of speech.
A useless, bigoted comment. They aren't "trying to make Linux more like Windows" any more than adding XFS support made Linux more like IRIX, UFS support made it more like Solaris, etc. Likewise, the only way it'll benefit malware purveyors is if it's buggy, just like any other kernel code. It doesn't have any actual Windows code in it. It's merely another tool in Linux's toolbox. Grow up.
