"accuse the other side of the thing you yourself are guilty of".

That's basically what every teenager and every disfunctional relationship does.

"You never pay attention to me!"
"Well, if you paid attention to me, you would know how much I am dealing with!"

It doesn't matter if it's factual it just matters if you get the tone right.

They're too cheap, too lazy, and in too much of a hurry to make sure their products/services are secure before they start selling them,

If the company doesn't have a QA team, if the company doesn't have negative unit tests, if the company hasn't trained their employees in secure coding practices, if the company doesn't have a system to avoid SQL injection exploits, etc

Then the company is at fault.

You should give a 90 day window so you don't become an enabler of crime.

The company that wrote the bug in the first place is the enabler of the crime. In 99% of these cases, if you look at their unit tests you'll only see positive tests. Fail at best practices.

Announcing the exploit publicly allows people who use the software to take proper protections (like putting behind a firewall).

LOL everyone outside of LA hates LA. Dirt bag slutty water thieves.

That must be that risk that they keep explaining they take on board ...

That is investing in a company, not unrealized gain in general. When you start or invest in a company you are at risk due to flaws in the business plan, flaws in execution, changes in government policy, unanticipated/unpredictable events, etc.

i say the guy is only talking points and he responds with more talking points.

When two California's are discussing something local they don't need to document the obvious that they both already know.

Saying the California state gov't wastes a lot of money is like saying California coastal waters are cold. They are local knowns.

A relic of the medieval church's tithing practice that unfortunately got carried along to the new world from the old, analogous to the way that encephalitis mosquitos made it to our shores.

Personal realized income taxes are directly proportional to economic output and are the least distortive way to generate revenue.
