I applied to Cybercom last year. I have over 20 years of technical and technical leadership experience - they offered me a salary of $86K. Have fun living anywhere near Ft Meade on that - never mind that making almost twice that I have mortgage and bills to match.
Dude, by far most of the illegal immigrants in the US are Mexican. Much of them already have family here who have been here since the Mexican American War turned a gigantic chuck of Mexico into the American southwest. 30 million or so Americans have Mexican heritage. Mexico and the US share a lot of culture as well.
Plus, we are neighbors.
In Europe on the other hand, they are strangers. They are coming from afar, from strange lands. They have no family, no where to go but camps and start accepting government handouts. It is a shitshow that simply doesn't exist here even with our far greater numbers of migrants.
There is no comparison between Mexicans coming into the US, and Africans and Middle Easterners flooding into Western Europe.
Mexicans come for jobs and are productive. Many of them already have family here. A very large chuck of the US was once Mexico. Our nations are very intertwined.
The refugees in Europe on the other hand have zero context there. They are strangers, and immediately land in slums and start looking for handouts.
After all, one day we will all be that older worker - that is if we are lucky and manage to avoid buses, lightning bolts, and cancer.
This sort of practice just keeps getting worse and worse. Oh well. The ageism of today will be a loving caress compared to what those born in the '90's are going to deal with. When they are tossed out, I just hope they remember they had the chance to nip it in the bud.
I would have the internet anyway. Electricity is about $30 extra in the summer because the a/c doesn't get set higher during the day while we are gone.

I's be surprised if it was as cheap as half a million.
Just seems polite.
When true AI emerges, I won't be one of the ones out there claiming they are "just machines."

We were just a bunch of contractors. Had it not been us, it would have been Raytheon, or Sierra Nevada, or ...
I helped create it. That fucker is indeed a monster.

SLS is slated to be launched in 2019. That will beat Saturn V.
Funding is coming from successful launches.
It is all frozen underground, waiting to be melted by an alien 3 fingered hand.
Post a link to your github. Let's see just how good you are.

That is my view.
If they come at all, it isn't going to be individuals riding in a ship. Probably not physical at all.
A bunch of folks with OpenWRT routers, some nice high gain wifi antennas, maybe Tor... just rebuild it from the ground up.
Why is this even a question?
The whole episode is simply pathetic.
The internet... just the internet.
All there ever was, or will be, is the internet.
None of the young busks wants to take the time to learn FPGA development around here. So it is being dropped on my plate.
I must admit, it is quite challenging. Not really software development at all.
Either way Seoul is toast.
The company was fucked. Hell why not?
So we are supposed to let wanted criminals walk to keep a shitty conference in Vegas?
Defcon really sucked this year - it seems to have jumped the shark awhile ago.
Soon enough these exploits will be patched.
The NSA would be insane to get involved.
Try explaining H.264 encoding without a flow chart.
certainly less than gasoline in my case.
