You are missing the point. In a secured situation, the last thing you would do, is pay somebody greatly less than others for doing the same job.
Then add to that a situation where you hire a company that then hires local ppl without really checking their background, or perhaps, just does not care. Some that has worked for Indian defense has worked closely with Russians. It would be like Americans working in defense industry would work likely closely with Canadians, and UK. Russia and India share an entire defense industry due to Nixon's stupid threats as well as china's numerous invasions of India and Russia.
"Human nature is, 'if something's worked 100 times before, it's gonna work the 101st time.'" That can lull people into a false sense of security, with potentially deadly consequences.
You got that right.
When you are dealing with AI, and it gets retrained, it MUST be retested fully.
And it appears that this edge-case is not being tested.
Right now, American companies are putting on the newest version of Windows, and yet, they are getting cracked more often. Why?
Is it because Windows is worse? No. Windows is actually getting more secured.
So, are the Russians simply moving to America and cracking it here? No. If that was the case, then we would be arresting MORE, not fewer Russians.
So, how are the Russians getting into many of our Business computers?
What has businesses increasingly done? OUTSOURCED. Who to? India and China. We do not hear of India cracking our systems, but China has increased it.
BUT, how does one of these connected with Russians cracking American businesses? Simple. Who is India's best friend in the military? It is not the west. It is Russia. Many many Indians are employed by Russian defense companies and then go work on western, esp. American businesses. And those Indians are then paid around $10-20K, while we fat Americans are paid 100+K. So, if a Russian approaches an Indian friend of his and says, "look, we will pay you $150K just to leave a back door in code.", what do you think that he will say?
Yeah, getting paid 10x your yearly tends to make ppl jump esp when it does not harm their family, nation, etc..
As to the Chinese? Well, we employ them here and we outsource there as well. What do you expect.
The west deserves what it is getting because we refuse to acknowledge what is happening. We will allow political correctness to control us. Fools.
government to the ppl solves NOTHING related to this.
TRUE capitalism combined with true competition is the BEST answer for this. The problem is, you can not do it in small towns up to small cities. You really need a medium to large city for this.
Look, fiber out 10 miles in rural area? Nope. Does not make sense.
Instead, we have 1-web, starlink, etc for the rural areas.
What is needed is for the cities and towns. In those, we need to allow local gov to run this as utilities OR just own the fiber, but outsource the various services including internet( great for small towns up to small cities), OR for multiple private companies (works best in cities).
We need to recycle here, or follow Europe's example and burn the rubber/plastic.
Fact is, that sending this off makes little sense. Lets recycle what is economical; Store in old mines what CAN be economical in the future and burn the rest.
creating a vaccine for every little illiness is not the same as heavy use of antibiotics. I fully agree with you about the use of antibiotics. In America, the docs are trying to protect themselves from lawyers/lawsuits. So, I know of some that have given antibiotics for a virus just to shut up a parent. Sadly, that is causing more issues. Add in China's farmers heavy use of cheap antibiotic, and between both nations, we are having some horrible effects on our kid's future.
You are better off not answering the AC that is following me. Nearly all are Caffeinated Bacon/ Crimson Tsunami (1 guy that uses at least these 2, and possibly more logons, as well as posts as AC). The guy is a Chinese troll that constantly lie.
With that said, bugs do not become resistant to vaccines. What happens is that some bugs, mostly virus, undergoes antigenic shift. Basically, the markers on the various bugs that antibodies react to, will change shape (or simply disappear). A great example of this is Flu. That is why CDC keeps looking for a single shared STABLE protein on the outside, that is exposed, and most everybody has antibodies to. Basically, a silver bullet. Sadly, since CDC could not find that (so far), we continue to do yearly vaccinations.
yes, requiring things like proper electricity/water in our homes is a HORRIBLE thing.
O requiring wearing seat belts and having air bags. Horrible.
OR, requiring that ppl who are put under quarantine because they have any number of highly infectious diseases to remain in their homes, again, is a horrible thing.
Here. I doubt that whoever that person is, will respond to you, so I will; You are a constant liar. Here is just a few examples.
You claim all the time that I am a denier of America's pollution as well as Global. Yet, I have never ONCE done that. I DO say that America has been headed in the right direction for the last 10 years (save 2018), while CHina is the exact opposite. Even in 2018, we were headed in the right direction, EXCEPT for nat. gas for electricity. That has to stop and we need geo-thermal, along with nuclear.
BTW, I KNOW that almost all of these ACs are you. Yeah, every so often somebody else will post AC, but it is easy enough to see that they are not some paid Chinese Troll like you.
Nearly all microbes adapt to antibiotics. The reason is that after enough usage 1 of them will develop a resistance to the antibiotic. Then the resistance is normally passed around to others, typically via plasmid. So, just for fun, assume that it takes on average 1T instances of being exposed prior to resistance. If you have stimulated the body to fight the AMR, then we do not have to use antibiotic except for extreme cases.
This is why at some point, we really need to REQUIRE vaccines for all. At the least, require that unvaccinated be removed from ALL schools except for home schooling, and if they catch a disease, they have to pay for everything.
I had written up some patents for going after spam as well.
Simply have customers enter a *number AFTER spam call. While you and I see DiD # (ones that the customers use), the phone company gets a LOT more data.
Then once say 100 phone calls from a single number over a day have entered *#. block that # for a day.
TO makes this work fast, have all of the western phone companies cooperate to a central DB. Once they get 100 spread over all of them, then shut down that line.
The cost of this coming from places like India, China, Russia, North Korea, will become WAY too expensive in a hurry. After all, paying for a high speed connection is still expensive.
And for those stupid enough to do this from western lines, they should all be turned over to FBI.
But, I doubt that CLECs/ILECS will be in a hurry to do this.
We have roads, water, bridges, dams that need massive work.
And she is worried about fucking around with software!!!!
She should have a backbone and push to increase gasoline/diesel tax slowly to pay for these other infrastructure, while getting an OSS going on gov systems.
When you can not tax them, them make up crimes and hit them with massive fines. I notice that America is now joining that attitude.
I wonder how soon the west will realize that this approach is destroying us? Perhaps Xi and Putin (along with their online trolls ) can write a book about how to destroy western nations.
We need to quit emitting CO2.
What is not needed is to force our nation to use just wind/solar, which from a national security POV, that is a disaster in the making.
Nuclear fission (replaced by fusion in the future), Geo-thermal combined with wind, solar on rooftops, and storage, would be the best idea going.
First, as others said, herbicides ARE pesticides. Most farmers I know, including my nephew ( flies crop dusters) cousins (multiple with dairy operations), uncle( dairy ), grandfather's( 1 ran dairy, other was more hobby farm ) and dad ( he grew up on farm ), simply refer to all chemicals designed to kill insects, fungus, bacteria, weeds, other plants, etc, as pesticides. Just easier than explaining why needed.
But, what happens with GMO being about pesticides restistance is that various genes have been inserted into various crops ( such as sugar beets ), so that a lot of roundup can be used to kill off weeds. Problem is, that the genes are now being transferred to weeds, most likely by viruses (evolution). So now, the effectiveness of roundup is dropping.
Far better approach is robotics, using lasers, combined with a micro sprayer of roundup. If small enough, laser can kill weed. Otoh, if too big, then laser punches hole into plant, and then sprays small roundup whiff on to plant.
All the fools speaking against GMO have no idea where the real issues are. The objection to gmo in plants has been about increased use of pesticide, namely Roundup, which IS a concern. But the actual GMO is not the real issue other than Gene transfer to weeds, which is happening. But corn made drought-resistant is useful. Or plants made to resist certain pests by transferring genes from other edible plants(iow, we already eat that protein) ARE useful.
Now, we are looking at seafood that is being destroyed in the oceans and now we have the ability to farm these economically and stop depleting our salmon. Ideally, we would do the same for tuna, and soon.
This would also allow us to stop the massive commercial fishing going on by other nations, who are depleting these fish.
yeah, but Cornell is just 300 miles away from Tufts, and I suspect that Cornell has similar deals with New England that Colo State has with our neighboring states (we let in something like 1-3 from most neighboring state, as well as 2-5 from Wyoming).

Basically, what you are suggesting is that vaccinations cause autoimmune. Yet, logically, that makes little sense.
We already know that viruses and bacteria DO cause autoimmune. GBS is a great example of one.
The notion that vaccines don’t cause autoimmunity makes sense. Since vaccines don't drive the immune response nearly as vigorously as natural infections do, it is less likely that they would induce autoimmunity. However, scientists continue to study questions related to vaccines as a cause of autoimmunity as they arise.
Here is an interesting case. If you look at this, you will see that far more women get 2 types of autoimmune disease, but also that America/UK,which are vaccinated LESS than these other nations, have much higher incidence rate.
The evidence is overwhelming that vaccines do not cause autoimmune any more than they cause autism.
BTW, based on your response, it is obvious that you do not have the background on immunology. Im guessing that you have an autoimmune disease and read bits and peices. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
Consider reading at least this section. It is where vaccines work.
creating a vaccine for every little illiness is not the same as heavy use of antibiotics. I fully agree with you about the use of antibiotics. In America, the docs are trying to protect themselves from lawyers/lawsuits. So, I know of some that have given antibiotics for a virus just to shut up a parent. Sadly, that is causing more issues.

I am guessing that you are not old enough to have witnessed any of these diseases. The last case of small pox in America was before I was born in 59.
However, I have known ppl with Polio. Likewise, I HAVE seen ppl die of Mumps, Hepatitis (I was not told what strain; she was a 12 y.o. friend of mine), and have seen adults with Chicken pox along with hep A. I've had several cousins/friends die of HiV, but little can be done there. This posting has a nice table that shows the number of lives saved yearly, as well as how many on current diseases
Requiring vaccines with only medical exceptions like Mississippi does, has not harmed anybody, though a group claims that 50 babies have died over 20 years. If they are correct, that would mean 2.5 babies / year, vs other states where even today, 10-50 die YEARLY in states that allow parents to opt out.

Ppl used to grow worms for fishing with inside of Chi-town back in the 60s.
We have roads, water, bridges, dams that need massive work.

We need more kids to do this. It is their future that old fogies are destroying.

Seriously, tuna and salmon are the 2 most eaten fish in world. Tuna should also be farmed, so fast growth is useful.
