    You've now posted several times that self signed certs are useless and provide no security, in fact they lower security (from what baseline I must ask?)

    So I would make a little bet with you. I will put up $100,000, my testicles in a jar with a small plaque saying "These balls once belonged to a fool." You will put up $10,000 plus any required travel expenses to carry out the wager. The terms of the wager are that I will provide a client and a server system. The server will have a self signed certificate. You will provide the networking equipment of your choice as well as any device(s) you so desire to place in between my client and server. I will make an SSL connection from my client to my server. Your job is to MITM the connection without my being able to detect said MITMing. Note that I am allowing you to build the entire network connecting my two devices, only requirement being that it be standard ethernet. Additionally you do not get to tamper with my equipment, this is about the security of self signed certificates, not whether you can literally or metaphorically crowbar open my systems and install a keylogger to capture the passphrase of my private SSL keys.

    How about it? You game? I can always use an extra $10,000.

    The number of posts calling the president racists terms probably is 100 times more than any of those other folks.

    Citation or retraction please.

    A google search turned up this quote:

    This reporter searched Twitter with several specialized Twitter search engines using the keywords “Romney,” “Obama,” “kill,” “shoot,” “riot” and other terms to denote violence, and found scores of original Tweets and re-Tweets advocating violent behavior against both the President and Romney. Many more of the Tweets, though, were, in fact, directed against Romney.

    And these pages -- don't even bother reading the articles just scroll down through the tweets:

    You apparently missed the bit where I said:

    ...it's on the government to make sure their contracts properly spell out their requirements.

    If an agency is going to use a service provider of any kind and they have special requirements, those requirements need to be put in the RFP and the government employees need to make sure that the contracts they are accepting actually meet those requirements. There's no constitutional basis for the government to say that because they are using "lots" of private providers, those providers are now de facto government agencies in their own right and under the control of government workers and bureaucrats. Government employees and politicians don't get to do a shitty job and fix it by seizing private property.

    While the internet had its roots in DARPA, the reality is that the "public infrastructure" is privately owned. Critical government systems should not be on it. Critical privately owned and operated services (power, telecom, etc.) should be hardened to the extent that the provider desires or the contracts that they signed with various municipalities require.

    I've worked contract gigs with the armed services and I have a lot of respect for the technical skills they have, but that's irrelevant. Companies and businesses should be able to make their own decisions and benefit from their good decision making or suffer from their poor decision making. Anywhere that government intersects with private industry, it's on the government to make sure their contracts properly spell out their requirements. End of story.

    Depends on if your goal is theoretical economic efficiency or robustness. Consider for example 9/11, the banking crisis, and hurricane Sandy. The country would be better off if there were fewer centralized institutions. That is, there is no reason that brokers and traders based outside of the US North East to not have been able to trade during Sandy. Shutting down the exchange merely ensured that the NY based bankers didn't miss out on days of trading. If there were more medium-large banks rather than fewer enormous banks, then individual institutions would cause less of a shock to the system when they get caught in their own poor decision making and fail. Not to mention the rest of the country wouldn't be playing a heads they win, tails we lose situation of having to bail out the risk-prone banks. And if more of our financial institutions were spread around the country, there would be less possibility for substantial damage caused by direct terror attacks.

    An additional effect of having more medium sized institutions scattered around the country is that it allows for economic development to occur in multiple states and also provides more laboratories for innovation. There is a point where big is big enough and it better serves the interests of the populace to start branching out. Even if it is less "efficient."
