Send information that is required by law to be on secure communications and you have committed a crime. Markings, intent, not classified at the time... all of that is immaterial.
If you do it, even "accidentally", you are usually in deep shit.
Working at the same place, doing the same job (IT Architect) for 3 different managers, I got one mediocre review, one bad review and several very good reviews.
It depended on how much the manager understood my role, how much they were willing to put up with flak when I did my job right, and how much they valued my input.
The funny part was the bad review did not cost me my job... but it cost my manager her job. When the VP heard what my review was, she hit the roof and said she would fix it.
Said manager was replaced 2 months later.
It pays to have a good manager, and it pays more to have good people up the chain.
I was thinking more of the Iranian government doing it, since this "law" would require the servers to exist inside the Iranian government's facilities.
90% of the POPULATION. That is 9 out of 10 workers.
You probably think you are not going to be part of the 90% scratching out an existence on a small dirt farm somewhere selling , but that is where you would be.
A failure of your crops would risk starving to death.
There are many ways to tackle the problem. I am a "thought cloud" kind of guy, putting key elements on the drawing and then figuring out how they are interconnected as we move along.
What starts out as seemingly unrelated issues tend to gather coherency.
Complain all you want, but the current issues are better than it has ever been.
Automation has completely reversed how we used to live in just the last 200 years or so. Around the year 1800, 90% or more of the population was engaged just to grow crops to feed people. Only 10% of the population was able to do anything but subsistence farm. Most of those were still engaged in food preparation, and a scant 1% did anything else.
And farming related jobs are STILL the most dangerous jobs out there... so there is a huge benefit to society by automating those dangerous jobs.
In most 2nd and 1st world countries that percentage is 10% or lower, down to 2% in the US.
90% of the population is now able to do something other than farm, a significant portion of who still do very manual labor.
The continued automation will keep reducing the need for manual labor, freeing people to do other things as the scarcity economy starts to be eliminated.
Maybe a large portion will go back to raising kids, stopping the de-population spiral.
The robot that fills the baskets with fries does not brake down that often.
It is not precision engineering here, it is sticking the right weight of fries in the bag. Ever watch "How It's Made"? They show lots of machines that do exactly that, hundreds of times an hour for things like bagged candy. The only difference is they seal both ends of the bag.
And believe me, they spend a LOT of time training people to do it right, even a 5% overfill makes for losses, 10% underfill makes for pissed off customers who think they were cheated.

Ah, the old Nixon defense:
In the context of American national security, Nixon replied: "Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."
Newsflash:
Every government does this.
That is why you don't want to give them any more power than is absolutely necessary.
You don't understand the law.

But not Hillary. Wonder why....
Likely it is some rebranded implementation of ZFS
Getting rid of religion does not stand up to scrutiny.
Atheist governments are far far more dangerous, especially in the modern age of mechanical killing.
Lenin/Stalin era USSR and China being the two biggest examples. They dwarf anything that religious organizations have done by an order of magnitude.
If anything, religion curbs the human animal's natural tendency to kill other humans.

Maybe people are leaving because of the cooperation violating privacy concerns?
This concerns me.
I rather have government workers looking at cat videos all day rather than harassing citizens.
I use the donut method of inflation calculation.
20 years ago, when I moved into my current house, a donut at the local donut shop cost $.85. An apple fritter, to be exact.
Now, that same donut cost $1.55.
Same owner, same donut, nearly double (82.5%)the cost in 20 years, or around 4.2 per annum.
Exactly.

IF they are truly peer to peer, then they can't shut them down as easily.
But if they are truly p2p, then why are there servers to move at all?
And at a push of a button, the government can shut it all down.
All analogies break down, but...
Coders write the music. It does nothing unless someone plays it.
Architects conduct the orchestra. They need a score to conduct from, then have to co-ordinate the musicians..
Musicians need a score, and they need someone to coordinate everyone and orchestrate.
It think it holds up. =)
No, not really.
Standard reports, like "Who has perfect attendance this quarter?", "How many times has Suzie been tardy this year?" were not part of the package.
Attendance clerk is an entry level job. But it required way too much IT to pull it off.
Way too deep in the weeds man.
The question is: will humans adapt to it?
My guess is maybe 50 to 80% could deal with a totally "free" lifestyle.
But there is a significant portion of the society that will want to be productive, and that is just built into our genes.
Agreed, but the attempts to get past it have universally failed.
Without a drive for humans to work, they tend not to. Someone has to do it.
Now with robotics, we can start that shift to where the robot does the work.
Not 90% of your time.
90% of the POPULATION. That is 9 out of 10 workers.

You are both right.

FWIW, I am an IT Architect, not a coder.

And stock in transit is capital tied up and not working for the company.
Just-in-Time and reducing stock levels will net huge savings for any company.
OTHER classes, such as Science, History and English also teach "doing critical thinking and analysis, and creative collaboration"
because those skills are not unique to IT, every good job requires that sort of thinking.
My son is in 7th grade, they are learning straight up C/C++.
Required for the Robotics class in 8th grade.
Watered down CS classes is exactly what most people need.
Even my wife's job, an attendance clerk for a elementary school, takes some significant IT understanding to do.
The software the district uses requires the end users to create their own reports, in dumb downed version of SQL.
"Real" IT people need more detailed courses, but the current system geared to make office workers needs to be upgraded to produce IT savvy workers.
Why?
