"the Clinton administration a year and a half ago" likely in much deeper now ðY

oh, I didn't see all that. thanks!

Does this also say something more about the "coffee nap"?

TN does it already. They've gone as far as saying NO electronic devices. So now I'd get hit for using my HAM radio while driving.

Just checked USAJOBS.gov . There is not a single CISA based job listed. If they are understaffed as bad as this indicates why are there no job postings at their official site for hiring? None, Zero, Zip. Seems to be this article is fake news based on a stolen, uncheckable, email.
 

Not really news. There has been no Cyber talent in the government for a while because it won't PAY them. When you can make 2X more going contractor, or private industry, the only people in the government are people who need the ability not to get fired to have a small chance of holding a job. There is no innovation or dedication in or civil servants. Until the government is willing to meet the wages on the outside they will be unable to attract top talent.

If you think Government workers are a meritocracy and we are losing top talent, you obviously have never looked into Federal hiring practices. They self select for the worst candidate.

If you are a Govie reading this, yes I mean you.

So this move probably improved efficiency, not hurt it.

Good and bad here and I can't decide which side I'm on. When apple did this they SEVERELY reduced the theft of iphones. And while no one wants their phone stolen in any way, it's the muggings in large cities that really went way down. People saw those white iphones cords going into people's pocket and they new an expensive, desirable and easy to sell phone was at the end of it. I've never been mugged, nor have had a family member, but the idea of someone stopping my wife or kid on the street demanding their phone terrifies me.

On the other hand, I work in corporate IT. I've seen the stack and stacks of iphones and ipads that have been locked by the user and we can't reset them. For whatever reason our predecessor didn't lock down icloud with the MDM, so the users logged into icloud. We told them when they quit they had to remove it, but many didn't know how and they just shipped us their locked phone. Holding their last paycheck is illegal, so we ended up with stacks of expensive, shiny and useless hardware. I even brought about 5 ipads home because I was going to see what sort of 'hacking tools' I could use to unlock them. Haven't gotten around to trying yet.

And everyone is using a VPN these days, often from another country with favorable peering for their activities. On the internet, no one knows I'm a dog posting from an IP address on Mars.

Bingo. (no mod points today)

I wish I had mod points for this. My son-in-law works in this stuff and he's been frustrated about resistance to carbon-reduction efforts. The specific one he mentioned a while back I believe involved adding a (possibly calcium-containing) base to let a precipitate fall onto the sea bed sequestering the carbon. People were worried about sticking basic chemicals into the sea without realizing that reducing acidity itself was good in addition to carbon sequestration - that they're actually related.

can't edit my previous post, but the original story showed that the version he was testing this with was something beta4
