"Yet despite disclosure rules, it is possible to spend money without voters knowing the identities of donors before the election.[36] In federal elections, for example, political action committees have the option to choose to file reports on a "monthly" or "quarterly" basis.[37][38][39] This allows funds raised by PACs in the final days of the election to be spent and votes cast before the report is due."

It matters. Transparency that is deferred until after the decision point of an election means that the potential for change is torpedoed for at least a few years each time. I very much agree that we are better off with any information we can get, but trying to eke democracy out of election forensics is going to be extremely tough.

Because it's inconceivable that they could manage software and hardware production without them. They're huge. You can't ad-hoc something that large.

Or are you asking why would VW bother with requirements for the cheating subset? Well, that would be my point then. Don't write software against something a manager mentioned in a meeting or in your cube.

Interesting, and in the second case, I admit I had never considered that Google must extend credit to some of its customers and that it likely some of them won't pay and in this regard Google have to do what everyone else does and take dispute to court.

There was a Science Channel show that aired over the summer called "Race to Escape" that followed two teams as they try to escape themed rooms using clues- it was a lot of fun to watch, though the omnipotent cameras led to a lot of yelling at the TV as you saw the obvious clue that the contestants kept overlooking.

You should read my initial comment. I wrote that I use my own cache bound to the loopback, and not shared with anyone.

I asked what benefit I would get from DNSSEC.

Also, registrars, in general, are not known for their trustworthiness. This is a system for disseminating public data (i.e., it should be very boring), yet it has been turned into a "business". This is a recipe for deceit and that's why it is such a headache for ICANN or anyone else trying to police registrars. Now, please do not misunderstand, I am not suggesting your employer is not trustworthy.

The sad truth, as revealed in com.zone and other large zone files, is that most of the domains registrars sell (rent) are garbage and only used for "domain parking" and serving ads.

Indeed, the people selling DNS hardware, not to mention consulting, are benefitting financially from pushing DNSSEC.

To me, that "gold-plated pipe" that I have full control over is far more important than any third party purporting to "sell" me an entry in a public zone file or to "authenticate" some public data on my behalf.

I can create, retrieve and manage my own data. What I cannot control is the hostile network over which it is transferred. I like software that is aimed at that problem.

As a male with only brothers I always thought men had things worse. We are expected to do 100% of "Man's work" and 50% of everything else "Shared work". The concept of "Women's work" is seen as a very outdated and offensive. As a male you aren't suppose to complain or ask for help so you don't. It seems like a raw deal...

Now that I have a wife and a daughter I realize that women often have it worse than men (in terms of general happiness). Not because of men but because of how complex their relationships with other women/groups of women are. They are brutal to each other and spend tons of energy undermining each others confidence and playing micro social games of exclusion and humiliation for virtually no gain. I feel sad to know that my daughter will have to endure the slings and arrows of "Frenemies" as she grows up, and that she may well dish it out to some other poor girl.
I currently work remotely (as do some other people in baseball operations), so it's not an absolute dealbreaker for the right candidate, but someone who's willing to relocate to Houston is likely to be favored all else being equal.

St-Exupéry never mentioned "protocol design". This is a pastiche, not a plagiary.

As to why St-Exupéry's name was not included, I suppose the editor thought the reference was obvious, which it is indeed.
The policy pretty much everywhere that I have encountered, since I was in elementary school in the 1980s, has been that tertiary sources like encyclopedias should never be cited for the information they contain (except when you are citing it because the point of interest isn't the information that is in the encyclopedia but the fact that it is in the encyclopedia, such as if you are writing about how certain events are presented in various venues.) I think the first elementary school research paper I did was an exception and permitted citing one encyclopedia among the three sources required.

Tertiary sources have always been, in most venues, "acceptable" only as research tools to find primary and secondary sources,

(Oddly, though, its become common in the last few years for even reputable news media sources to cite Wikipedia as an authoritative source. I don't see that really as progress in Wikipedia's acceptance so much as a sign of the increasing laxity of standards in journalism.)

NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Austin, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA

Your pumpkins got smashed by teen hooligans. Someone ate all of the Reese's and left only that coconut garbage candy behind. Your frustration has you thinking about the bigger picture. Maybe it's time to consider that career or company shift you've had on the backburner for so many months? I guarantee you we'll be eating Halloween candy for months to come!

NCC Group is constantly hiring security consultants from ALL backgrounds to join our team. If you’re a tinkerer, a breaker rather than a builder, or someone who wonders “why” and ends up down the rabbit hole 36 hours later with a disassembled air conditioning unit surrounding them... we’d love to hear from you! Our process welcomes those with years of experience, as well as those with little to no direct experience in what we do.

The bottom line: if you love security and research, NCC Group just may be a perfect fit for you.

What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer. All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!

It's a very long article, and the closest it comes to answering the question of "is there a way to keep safe" are these two sentences: "Keep your elbows akimbo, to protect your chest and give yourself enough breathing room. Don’t fight against the flow of the crowd if you’re trying to get out of it; rather, go with it, and during lulls try to work your way diagonally through the crowd to the perimeter. If you feel faint, grab on to someone, and, if you do fall, try to protect your head."
NIF is weapons research, hence my point.

Congress won't fund a civilian space shuttle anymore but we spend billions for the military to have their own.

Like I said, if it's not about killing people, destroying things and spying on the world (including our own people) we pretty much won't spend money on it anymore here.

Germany did the investment beyond war.
A good complement to L. Peter Deutsch's of Sun Labs Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing:

1. The network is reliable

2. Latency is zero

3. Bandwidth is infinite

4. The network is secure

5. Topology doesn't change

6. There is one administrator

7. Transport cost is zero

8. The network is homogeneous
