"Say, if you're not interested in writing killing code, how 'bout you just lend some of your workers? We got free beer with a decal of the American flag on the cans."
The government (taxes) doesn't pay well "in house." The high-paying jobs go to contractors who are not always patriotic, like Manning, Snowden, and Winner.
This latest move tells us a few things:
The gubmint doesn't have the chops to do this. Private sector, apparently, does.
The feds have tried to use these same resources to weaponize software like drones, face recognition, and AI.
That failed, so the next iteration is to get that same work force by providing the carrot on a stick labeled, "patriotism."
These IT peeps go on "leaves of absence"... What is the pay structure? Do they continue to get paid by the mother ship, or do they take a serious pay cut because patriotism?

You're new here, right?
Workers at Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are demanding input on the impact of the technology they build.
... shares a similar dark secret.
There are more contractors hired by the military than there are actual military headcount.
How'd that go with Manning, Snowden, and Winner?
Also, let's look closely at the contractor idea as applied to the war in Afghanistan.
We have a goddam shit load of contractors over there.

Thanks.

Social media was supposed to be a game wherein the pieces were real people, not actors.
Now, state actors are acting like real people.
Those who have their goddam heads covered with the plastic bag of Facebook are huffing the fucking propaganda.
How long does it take for all concerned to appreciate that Facebook is not a news SOURCE?
It's easy as hell to click one tab thataway ===> to get to actual news sites.
An example is the comment section of /. We learned long ago to avoid stepping on the bullshit.
Ya, but yu cnt spel gud.

Earth is even more Earth-like. I say Venus may be the second most Earth-like location in the solar system.
Cook, at this point, has no standing.
He has to show real damages and irresponsible or nefarious intent.
Do so so, Apple would have to prove the Bloomberg to be incorrect and for reasons.
