It's much cheaper and easier to purchase insurance against the costs of an attack or breach

...right, which'll result in an Insurance Institute for Cyber Security (ugh) which'll mandate certain precautions in order to reduce losses. Insurance will be the driving factor in determining which controls work, and any CISO would be an idiot to buy insurance and not implement the controls the insurers want.

The CISO's job is to aid in boosting security posture and mitigate risk. I'd venture that most won't just sit down and plug their ears since it's their job to do exactly the opposite.

Put the fucking CISO on the executive board.

DC and BART used a lot of shared technologies, including the same initial manufacturer of their rail cars. If you've been on both systems, this immediately becomes apparent.

ever since BIZX acquired slashdot, we've been seeing these slashvertisements at least once per day (worse than Dice's twice-weekly rate). What's the going price for buying an article on slashdot these days?

My understanding is that all (not most) mitochondria in sperm are lost when the tail is lost. Is that not correct?

My understanding could be wrong. Let's call it a teaching moment.

Facebook'll still be able to read it, so it's probably worthless.

It doesn't matter if you use any variety of encrypted messaging products (imessage, cyph, silent phone, signal, etc.), we've got a backdoor for it already.

The only challenge is in justifying using it after the fact.

The tool isn't enforcing code signatures? That's infinitely scarier... that's what you're suggesting, yes?

Well if they did buy it from Educause, someone didn't tell them because it's still giving an NXDOMAIN.

Are you comparing different versions/SKUs of one OS to different OSes? You're aware that the SKUs only impact feature availability and not functionality differences, right?

If you want to go granular and compare by kernel version (5.2, 6.1, etc.), then you have to do the same for different versions of Linux OSes too.

Please show me an example of competition in the cloud with a Windows OS?

Sure. Here's a good reference from the Linux Foundation showing the continuing improvement of Linux's foothold in the context of cloud applications. 75% Linux (all flavors), 23% Windows (all flavors), etc.

but considering that the 75% figure is made of all Linux distributions, the breakdown is likely split between CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, et cetera. Everyone's in the double-digits. I'd call that comparable, potentially "even," and I'd certainly call that greater than your "zero presence" figure.

I'd attack your character much the way you attacked mine with "What century are you in?", but it's easier to just use facts.

It's for hosting services, not for client use. In the cloud, the competition is pretty even between everything that isn't based on Mac OS. Why does this decision surprise anyone?

Heck, it's one of the reasons Azure supports *nix etc. in the first place.

Sure, I'll be that guy.

For certain weight classes, why not? If we start going above 3kg and you lose control of one of these, that's a small bowling ball hurtling back down toward the ground. For RC cars, you're on a 2D field. If you stall, you stall on your spot in 2D space and that's that. When you're playing in 3D on Earth, stalling means moving elsewhere, not staying put in the air (air friction without gravity) or maintaining the same velocity with no ability to course correct (space). Generally, that "elsewhere" is a location downward from wherever your drone or RC plane loses control.

I would personally think safety courses should be required for devices where the mortality risk is high, not just the risk of injury or minor property damage. Think 10+kg model airplanes.
