>> In my experience it is not the budget but the politics.
Politics are usually about budget. You really can't separate the two.
>> Is your company's security worth the expense of an additional tech? Or are office politics the reason you cannot get an additional tech?
This is an entry-level "think of the children" argument. Come back when you can express your needs for an additional tech in downtime, lost customers, etc. (i.e., money).
>> Does whomever is in charge of your technology have the authority to say "no" to requests from other departments? And the political capital to make it stick?
Surprisingly, they often DO have the authority, but they're smart enough to know that a cost center that says "no" too many times is a cost center begging to to replaced.
>> Retrofitting security is not the answer.
Unfortunately, it usually is, because replacing all systems and processes from scratch would be significantly more risky, expensive and (wall clock) time consuming.
Step One: Build a separate silo. You sure as hell wouldn't want to share data/equipment/space/staff/etc. with your existing NOC. Step Two: Replace your existing SIEM. Step Three: ??? (Don't worry, you'll never get here: see "Step Two") Step Four: PROFIT (or at least play the official anthem of your little fiefdom)
>> furious effort over the past few years to bring the teaching of programming into the core academic curricula
They tried this in the early 1980s and all we got was the Internet at everyone's home, online shopping and news, free video conferencing, entirely new ways to organize photos, transportation and events, realism-quality video gaming, and cell phones so easy to use that toddlers can participate in the world wide web.
I think Amazon's doing this to blunt attempts by content providers, whether HBO, ESPN, etc. (or even the production companies themselves) to bypass middlemen like cable companies, Netflix, Amazon, etc. by bringing their own paid streaming content to market.
I'm pretty sure I knew math, science and sometimes English better than my teachers through high school. Experienced teachers know how to deal with students like us - how would this be any different?
...and where was this nifty idea (and the free college one too, and immigration reform, etc.) during his first two years in office (when the Congress was mostly Dems)?
I'm almost afraid to answer this ('cause it's a joke)...but you can use the --header, --user-agent and a few other options to get around this on a lot of sites.
All this "put to death" stuff helped open the door to the genius of Christianity (as opposed to Old Testament Judaism):
Here comes a dude who tells people that "death" really means "no heaven" and gives you a simple out on pretty much everything on the list just by confessing your sins and rededicating yourself to God. Now which religion do you prefer?
Like most of SlashDot, I dumped cable a couple of years ago and haven't missed a thing. File Charter and the rest of the them under "Buggy Whips In Progress"
>> money for the U.S. music business than downloads and physical sales
What about radio? That seems like the closest competition. (When I use a streaming service, in large part it's because I want some background music without worrying about picking songs.)

>> knowing how to write a script that can read in one CSV file and output another could save a lot of work and cure a lot of mistakes
Yet in the real world, corporate IT departments continue to punish people dropping scripts in their spreadsheets.

Checked the site. Seems like the answer to every problem I saw is "regulate it".
>> be at the conference working
No one goes to a conference to do work. You're generally only doing work if you get called into an issue from home base.

Good luck, pal. You'll be OOO for 7 solid years by then.
Reagan: "If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
>> increase the amount of money they grant and loan to ISP-related projects
I'd say we're in Reagan's third phase with ISPs, wouldn't you?

This is redundant - for the masses fictional actors such as HAL, Skynet, etc. already do plenty to sow FUD.
