We know how to build secure development into software development. In fact, we've known it since the 1960s. It's not even expensive when you consider TCO. But speed to market is impacted and most software development today doesn't even have a clear understanding of the end product (no matter if you call that agile or not-having-a-clue), which makes it hard to make a proper architecture and define proper security requirements.
Because security is less important than the brand of jelly donuts at the board meeting, until it all falls down.
Then there is the cloud. Long touted as an incredibly secure, failsafe way to store and retrieve data. But in reality, just a way to terminate local IT workers and service the stockholders. Yeah just store it outside of the business and allow the bad guys easier access.
You are missing the point. In a secured situation, the last thing you would do, is pay somebody greatly less than others for doing the same job.
You aren't exactly wrong. But this doesn't jibe with your comment earlier that it is political correctness.
Paying as little as possible and utilizing any scheme to do it is capitalism, not PC.
Then add to that a situation where you hire a company that then hires local ppl without really checking their background, or perhaps, just does not care.
Real background checks cost a lot of money. Once again, gotta serve the stockholders - can''t have this sort of thing cutting into the bottom line.
Finally, you have identified the real source of the problem - the media! Seriously, we need to eliminate the media because y'all smart folks manage to show us how they are responsible for any and all problems.
No, we need to take the media with the same grain of salt this crowd is perfectly content to take them with in any other tech-heavy situation: a group of generally ill-informed people who through some combination of ignorance, incompetence, and recklessness write articles primarily designed to inflame a group of readers who on balance are even more ill-informed of the actual issues.
And it all means what? The people who shit their pants blaming everything on the media are every bit as affected by the media as the people they are whining about. And you sound pretty inflamed yourself.
It isn't that hard to figure out what is bullshit and what isn't. And the calmer heads who work to look into these things are just going to do their job, unaffected by what some guy in the stockroom at Wal-Mart, or the reporter pulled off the food column to write a story about a plane being grounded thinks.
The planes obviously needed to be grounded. The media had nothing to do with that. The FBI is looking into reports of some shenanigans in the certification process. The media had nothing to do with that. The modifications to the plane made it more susceptible to stall issues. The media had nothing to do with that. The software and hardware might have had some issues, again, not the media.
That some folks might be ill informed is pretty much irrelevant. That some writers might not know all that much is just about as irrelevant.
The process of troubleshooting and fixing the problem - if there is a problem, which is almost certain - is not ruled by the media. Whining about the media is like the guy in the back of the room who wants the board of directors meeting cancelled because they didn't have as many jelly donuts as he thought was appropriate. Not related.
About the only thing that the media has a real effect on is the response of the citizenry to the issue. You can't do much about that other than make certain you respond quickly, and not belittle the lost lives.
Now, let's say that a person wants a more technically literate media. That is a worthy goal. Well, how does one accomplish this? Is blaming everything on the media going to fix this? Probably not, because blaming everything on the media is also a tool of people who don't want anything reported that they don't want to hear, and have no other input but that. People bitching is easy. Propose some solutions.
So we have a lot of Slashdotters who know for a fact all of the technical details are and what the real truth is, amirite? As well, they belive that the present situation is purposely misleading people, perhaps some oddball agenda. Wanna fix it? Become a technical journalist.
But then it is a lot easier just to bitch about the media being the problem.
You, as the customer, are safer on aircraft than on any other form of transport available to you, and have likely been flying around on aircraft without this feature for most of your life.
I was waiting for this bit of irrelevancy to pop up.
It is kind of like odds of dying on the space shuttle seem a lot different if you look at them per passenger miles, or look at them per launch.
I'm not sure why you think that being a customer qualifies you to dictate how aircraft are designed.
If a company ignores the customer long enough, the customer stops bugging them, amirite? The customer controls matters with their wallet.
Had the media not started blowing this out of proportion you would have gladly carried on being a dumb and happy lump of self-loading cargo in the back of the plane.
Finally, you have identified the real source of the problem - the media! Seriously, we need to eliminate the media because y'all smart folks manage to show us how they are responsible for any and all problems.
But now that you've read some click-bait headlines, ohmahgawd it's the end of the fucking world.
While you seem to want everything suppressed, there are a lot of responsible people out there doing analysis. Unlike you, they don't just shrug off corpses and blame the press. They want the planes to fly safely. And when a new plane keeps dropping out of the sky, the plane fighting it's pilots all the way to the crash site, they want that to stop, not just write it of to "plane travel is the safest way to travel."
Shit man - have you mixed purple drank with your Red Bull?
You seem a bit angry that news of these planes is being reported, angry at the cause of all problems is the media, and just plain frickin' angry.
Chillaxe homie, and keep the Red bull and drank use separate.
Fair point, we shouldn't be keeping out the (legal) immigrants per say. Instead we should be penalizing companies based on their utilization of foreign workers and in that process we should count foreign subsidiaries.
Make the CEO of any company caught hiring illegal aliens spew a year in jail for each illegal employed, and the problem will disappear pretty quickly.
And yet my current car (loaded to the gills with electronics) has a service interval 4 times longer than the first car I owned 20 years ago, and (despite being 11 years old now)it's never had an issue that needed the garage's attention in between regular services.
It's called Slashdot reactionary syndrome. Someone bragging about how awesome his 1970's Toyota Corrolla is -so much better than this new junk, amirite?
I've always wondered how much trolling that might be. My very first car was a '65 Buick Skylark. I had a celebration when it hit 100K miles. It was about finished. Over time the engines were improved to the point where they are now effectively blueprinted. I love to compare my new Jeep 4 cylinder to my old Voyager. I also expect to get 300K miles on my vehicles now, not toss 'em after 80-90K
Modern cars are simply much much better.
I'll make one complaint though. The "entertainment" electronics is a distraction. Some of the radios are great if you like distracted driving just to use the damn things. I can operate a standard pushbutton radio simply using peripheral vision.
And another oh-so-superior Europe supremacist jumps in the conversation to crap all over Americans and remind them just how stupid and culturally backwards we are. We know, we've heard it a million times.
Did you ever wonder if our big mistake was lend-lease, and fighting for the Euro-supremacists? They could be under NatSoc rule right now, and apparently much happier for it.
I agree; if they need "evidence" they're not a close military ally, they're an arms-length ally, and they should get their shared data at an arm's length.
If they want cheek-and-jowl access, they need to show cheek-and-jowl trust.
Let's not forget however, that the USA is at present at war with it's own intelligence agencies.
So the threats are sort of weird - threatening to withhold intelligence that the CinC claims is all false anyhow. Isn't that helping our new enemies that used to be our allies?
You are aware that the countries in your wikipedia link are listed alphabetical and not by corruptness?
Not certain how that is relevant. Unless you are making an argument that corruption is alphatebetically arranged, least to highest, therefore as starting with "U", the United States is more corrupt than countries starting with "T", and less corrupt than countries starting with "V" are more corrupt.
Now you know why Irish Spring soap is so strong! Never leave home without it! Eat two bars before entering a hospital just to be safe! Always wash your hands with hand sanitizer.
I get my bacteria resistance by eating Lucky Charms cereal. That crap tastes like medicine anyhow.
"Scientists aren't sure how black holes formed in the early universe, so being able to detect them this far back in time provides new avenues of exploration."
A nice departure from the hyperbolic "Scientists are shocked to find...." or "Scientists scramble to find answers when the laws of physics are turned on their head!" sort of wording.
Ya the whole cultural appropriation thing is stupid. But don't blame a whole group on it. For every screwed up wacko liberal out there that cares about this, there's a screwed up wacko conservative with something nutty on the agenda.
Wasn't certain I did smear a whole class. In general, the conservatives have more nuts than liberals do. The far right has their own version - racial or ethnic purity. But I stand by my assertions that the farthest left and the farthest right are kindred spirits, AKA kooks.
Many of the more silly ideas in college get toned down as the person gets older and sees more of the real world and realizes that there are larger problems and concerns.
Let us hope. Going crazy about cultural appropriation is one step away from going racist, which some on the far left have already done.
Well, no more fucking baseball for japs and chiners then.
Funny how they all love blue jeans and heavy metal, but white culture "doesn't exist".
What I find bothersome about the whole Cultural appropriation insanity is that interest in other people's cultures should be the absolute height of learning to get along with others. Yet here, the far left wing kooks demand that a chinese style dress cannot be work by someone who is not Chinese.
Ahh, here are responsible citizens ensuring Cultural purity - a listing of Portland Oregon restraunts that practice cultural Appropriate restaurants. https://www.tastingtable.com/d...
And serviscope minor thinks I am talking about a small group.
I fear I triggered him badly. Weird thing is the left wing aspect was the smallest part of my explanation. It would be like David Duke getting pissed off because I wrote that White Supremacy was a right wing thing.
The closest thing to cultural appropriation on the far right is the racial purity bullshit. Just that race isn't culture.
I'm lucky. I'm part Hungarian, part Ukranian, part Italian, and part British. I can eat a lot of foods without worrying about pissing of some far left kook.
Congratulations! You managed to find some right dickheads on the internet. Well done. Up until now I though the internet contained only nice, reasonable people./s
What makes YOU the dickhead however is assigning some sort of political bias to it. Right wingers and left wingers have proven themeselves just as capable as each other as forming hate mobs.
So since you assign me as an asshole because I noted that the cultural appropriation bullshit is a left wing phenomenon, well hey there, your challenge is to show me the examples of right wing whining over cultural appropriation.
Look - We get it you are a left winger. We get it that your reaction is representative of being heavily triggered, so prove me wrong by those right wing cites.
As for me being an asshole - yeah, I am a big one. Doesn't make me wrong.
Cultural appropriation. One of the least sane aspects of far leftists, where you are permitted to go nuts on a person because you aren't from the culture, and somehow this beautiful young lady in a beautiful dress isn't actually wearing the dress because it looks great, but wearing it to insult the Chinese.
Some of these people take it the whole way to believing that their culture's food be not "appropriated" This person took a shitfit about bone broth, which apparently using the gelatin contained in bones is Chinese only. https://www.washingtonpost.com...
Then there is https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/... A mother who threw her daughter a geisha themed tea party was being abused by these whackos until a Japanese person chimed in and informed them all that Japanese culture borrows aspects from other cultures, and is actually flattered by others borrowing aspects of theirs.
tl;dr version - the person you are replying to is one of those people who loves to keep the "we" and "them" to just "we".

We know how to build secure development into software development. In fact, we've known it since the 1960s. It's not even expensive when you consider TCO.

I've found as a general guideline, that when a person or group denies something using the word "absolutely", they did what they are accused of.
"3. Keep out them damn immigrants"
Fair point, we shouldn't be keeping out the (legal) immigrants per say. Instead we should be penalizing companies based on their utilization of foreign workers and in that process we should count foreign subsidiaries.

So many wonderful subcultures have been culturally appropriated and destroyed by mainstream invasion.
There are also subcultures that have died off because no one new came in.
