You want to know why people don't want to work in cyber security and why you can only get autists with zero interpersonal skills? Because anyone with interpersonal skills wouldn't stomach working in that field for long.
If you come into a packed cafeteria and on a table there are two people sitting by themselves and they, too, don't even look at each other, you found internal audit and itsec. You're about as well liked as athlete's foot. And if your coworkers could shoot their boss who drives them from crunch to crunch or you, they'd shoot you. Twice. Just to be sure.
You're the person who comes in when everyone thinks they're done and tells them that they have to redo this, redo that, or rework it altogether. You are the one who makes their milestones fall, you're the one that delays releases, you're the one that keeps them from going to the release party because you're telling them that they have to pull an all nighter to get their shit secured.
Anyone but people who are absolutely used to being a social outcast won't willingly stay for long.
Understand they go back to their own country after that job ends.
you'd get a "LOL, no". From pretty much anyone capable of doing an IT security job.
Unlike most other jobs, we're talking about something where you have about a tenth of the people capable, willing and able to do the job that would be required. And I mean worldwide.
In other words: You don't get to set the conditions.
You want to be the party that bans Facebook? We might just see what we didn't see since the civil war: A new party emerging because one was abandoned completely by its voters.
And whether it's deserved again depends, at least in my opinion, on how it was gained. By wise decisions and work or by pure luck? You can get rich winning the lottery after all, too. And likewise you might just get lucky with whatever you decided to do. Whether that's "deserved" is debatable.
You know why the US won WW2 and lost Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan? Because WW2 was the last war they fought like they meant it. Drop a metric fucton of bombs on the country 'til it's in rubble. Then rebuild after the assholes have been mopped up. Not before.
Ever since WW2, politicians took over waging war. Yes, Eisenhower was a politician too. AFTER the war. During the war he was a General. Sadly he forgot that later it seems.
Politicians lead countries. General lead wars. It gets really messy if they start dabbling in each other's fields. Who wants a country run by a military government? Then why the fuck do you want a war waged by a politician?
That makes you wonder with some of the countries. Argentina was highly unstable in the late 1960s and 1970s with many military dictatorships taking place. Greece has a similar history during that time. Hungary was a communist country.
It's pretty easy for Vietnam, because any situation is better than being in the middle of a war, but with some other countries, one might want to ask what motivates people to answer the way they do.

Well, with ads you instantly notice when your blocker is shit. With miners ... not so much.
No, some of us aren't. But we still love you, especially in Spring when you're blooming.
Typical misrepresentation and lies
She DID have options!
They can opt-out at any time!
That's what they said about the nonsmokers...
I prefer ads. Mostly 'cause I got the blocker for them already in place.
It needn't be practical. It's the spam problem: If the cost is zero, a nonzero profit, no matter how small, is reason enough to do it.
Why would the miner care whether your computer burns 1000x the energy required to mine his coins as long as you pay for the electricity?
Great idea, that should also take care of some of the more obnoxious Javascript atrocities.
By shutting down your account and starting a life.
A bit more sensitivity, the ware is just big boned and it's a glandular problem.
Or what's the politically correct term for land whale now?
Hey! Stop pooping the Christmas Bunny, Harvey here is really pissed already!
You think any BLOW YOUR MIND blogger would write about auto wipers and volume controls?
Let's start worshiping Martha Steward so we'll get seasoning gratings instead.
Quantum computers, just like cold fusion, are a mere 10 years away. And have been for the past 50 years or so.

Many people who were a few years older don't remember much of that time either, don't worry.
Only because I'm jealous of every con man (or woman in this case) 'cause they had an idea to swindle people out of money before me.

Quite the opposite, he learned the lesson well: Rules mean jack shit if you have money to overcome them.
You know a country's economy is fucked when someone's income comes from going to job interviews...
