There are 11 types of developers when it comes to security.
00) Wot? 70% of them. Probably 95% of web designers. 01) I care about security, but I don't have to do anything about it in my layer. Another 20%. 10) I care about security and it is my problem. Just 10%. Maybe.
This guy is preaching to group 10 and trying to get group 01 to care. It's nice to see something else out there fighting the good fight.
I think if providers just held on to "Message IDs" (e.g., http://forensicswiki.org/wiki/...) they'd have most of this capability today. I'm not sure what blockchains bring to the table here other than authenticity, and that doesn't seem to be the issue here.
I doubt the provision would ever have been used anyway. Since the folks who want the data are already siphoning it, this would just let them say that they were, "just helping random ISP fulfill its responsibilities under such-and-such law" the next time their hand was caught in the cookie jar.
>> Why Hardware Development Takes Longer in the West Than in China
Slaves. Lock someone with a top-1% mind in a shop and tell them their family will starve unless they churn out usable designs 100 hours a week and they will easily outcompete 1000 "makers" dinking around with LEDs and breadboards at a little "faire."
A discussion of constitutional limits of power ten years ago? How quaint. In 2015 we pretty much expect the president to do whatever he/she wants without regard to law of any kind.
I think is what management has in mind already. Notice that he's being asked to document the skills people need. He's been told this is because people will be TRAINED to this level, but it's more likely that other people that already have the skills will be HIRED/CONTRACTED with money freed up by letting the deadwood go.
>> large IT department with almost no skills in the technologies on site...As a senior techie, I've been tasked with helping bring the skillset of the rest of the staff up
Stop right there and understand that you've been sent on a wild goose chase. You're not really going to train your existing staff - ever. Instead, what you're doing is writing the job descriptions for the outsourced personnel that your management will hire to replace the deadwood in your "large IT department" (because it's no doubt costing them an arm and a leg, and personnel budget is sucking up the money that should be flowing to technology upgrades).
So, what should you do? I'd say complete the assignment with a smile on your face and a suggestion that some of the skills are already available elsewhere in the market. Hopefully management will pat you on the head and let you move on to the next level: interfacing with the outsourcing company that's waiting in the wings.
>> Why would a married couple without children get more money than two singles?
To encourage them to get and stay married while rearing kids.

That's doubtful. Walk around a part of the city where there are a lot of gay (mostly childless) and young (also mostly childless) couples, take a look in the restaurants, boutiques and theaters and then tell me there's less spending.

>> What you want is the poor skilled in a way to contribute to economy, not to sweep the side of the road.
I disagree. Drive through any poor neighborhood and you'll see plenty of road sweeping, trash picking-up and weeding projects idle people could start today. Cleaning up the appearance of these places probably WOULD go a long way toward improving their economy - just see what happens to the edges of a seedy city when gentrification occurs.
>> You're basically proposing the Chinese way. Employing everyone to do jobs that may not need doing
It's also the American way, like we did in the Great Depression.
The current problem with "per child" is that it is sometimes an incentive to have MORE children, especially if the cost to minimally clothe/feed/plug-em-into-TV is less than the offered incentive. For population control and family stability, you'd be better off with something like "$20K per adult, $45K for married couples - period. If you want kids, scale back your lifestyle or get a job/education that can support a higher standard of living."
As a community manager, he's one third marketing, one third support and one third PR, and at the bottom of all those totem poles in terms of influence. If he's changing anything, its the diapers of his bosses' kids after he picks them up from daycare.
