All three of your listeners thank you for your devotion to open standards. How are your ex-roomies doing these days? I hear "baristas" are going to unionize in Seattle...
Take a huge paycut but do 90% less work and have unparalleled job security.
Well, the joke will be on you. In my field, which is technical, my hours and the nature of my job parallel the civilian world. But please continue to perpetuate stereotypes, keeps my job ever more secure.
After all, the government doesn't want to pay benefits...
I get 5 paid weeks of vacation a year, a 401k that matches up to 11%, and excellent healthcare (I have Premera Blue Cross that costs me very little). As well, there is a pension, not huge, but there.
True, I could make more $ on the "outside", but my job is not going away, I will never be laid off.
This is amazing footage of something that the "experts" said couldn't be done. This scares the shit out of traditional defense contractors like Boeing and the United Space Alliance.
Well... Maybe a brand new developer shouldn't be mucking about with the Production Database in the first place?
But what about daily backups? Maybe twice daily? Was the the database replicated over load balanced servers? No? Can't have been all that big a web site / app...
Seriously, if you're going to participate or be part of the leadership of an organized protest, consider all your "command and control" participants use - get this! - "burner phones", and then at some point, ditch them.
In a similar way to the "mistakes" this young lady who leaked classified made, so to did most of these demonstrators.

You most certainly can! It simply becomes criminalized. That means if you ever have a problem with the government and they CAN'T simply read all your communications they'll simply jail you for making it difficult for them to pin something else on you.
Being an "Intel Specialist", if she was worth her salt, she could have simply memorized bits of the content over a few days and recreated it at the library in a text document.
Or, if she was inventive, she could simply have made it all up and created a realistic document. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, if you know the format it's very easy to create believable stuff, and the formats and classification markings are documented in publicly available government regulations / instructions as a matter of public record.
by removing hidden dots left behind by laser printers, which are usually used to watermark documents and track down leakers,
This is incorrect. The purpose of the dots and why they are limited to color printouts is because they are intended to be used to identify currency counterfeiters.
1) They where originally designed to identify currency counterfeiters. 2) They are as well quite often used to track down leakers (both government and business).
How can you call her a whistle blower? The value of the information to the American public was small or non-existent and it tipped off the Russian that we were on to them.
Absolutely
The value of the leak is not in what it says, which any smart person probably assumed was happening anyway, but in that we knew it at all, which is to say the Russians now know that path has been detected where as before they did not.
There is one small thing which is that the Administration can not continue to deny the level of Russian interference with stuff like this out, but that's not really a bomb-shell because no one believed them anyway.
A) This will not stop terrorism or terrorists, and it will not make it harder for them to communicate in any meaningful way. They were able to "get it done" before encryption, and they are motivated to the extent that they will get it done without.
B) It's irrelevant anyway because there is simply no way to ban encryption or even require "back doors" because there are too many absolute requirements for encryption in numerous systems and situations, and people will not stand for back doors. More than that, if encryption was banned, people would do it anyway.
Remember in the early days of PGP? To download and install the software you had to "certify" you were an American on American soil? And of course anyone on American soil or with a VPN could do all that, or download it in the US and burn it to a CD and send it off to whoever, as many did. You just can't "ban" something that is already out in the wild, it doesn't work that way.
So far I've seen no indication that not using Facebook makes you an outcast, unable to get jobs, unable to travel, or anything like that.
I've been wondering about that. With the Boarder Brown Shirts (not TSA, though many toss that name out with this) inspecting incoming - including American citizens - "social media" both on their electronic devices and also searches by the agents in the back room while you are waiting, will they believe you if you tell them you don't use "social media"? Or will they make the assumption that you are trying to evade them and so give you the Extra Special Treatment?
I've considered setting up Facebook and other accounts like phone contacts on a "burner phone", possibly a Chrome Book with games and non-important stuff like a few documents and an essay on the patriotic American, just for travel in and out of the United States, while keeping my actual stuff on a thumb drive like one of these: https://www.newegg.com/Product...
But jail-breaking and rooting, that's not "ransomwear".
In any case there are significant differences between the phone OS and the desktop OS, just because they both share the same basic name doesn't mean one hack works on the other
So what do they plan to do about it? Probably use essentially off-the-shelf designs - because there really isn't much real innovation in consumer electronics these days, and market their phone / TV / tablet / digital consumer assistant / sports watch / whatever with their brand name while using the same Chinese manufacturers as everyone elseâ¦

"The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant." The small group are his Russian handlers.
Code word for his bot-net - Sorry, I mean dihard supporters...

The hard part is dealing with the erratic atmosphere at supersonic speeds. It's a lot easier in a vacuum.
Espescially if you are dealing with a perfict sphere.
All of their study group had indicated suicidal tendencies, and around 60% had actually attempted suicide.
I don't need a computer to tell me that there is a good chance some of these people will attempt suicide again.

Given all the spying the three-letter agencies do, both on Americans and on foreigners - there's a huge demand for contract work.
I'll say, if they are hiring and giving clearances to boneheads like Reality Winner...
As for jobs, DC finds it hard to attract businesses because of its high taxes and regulations.
I thought it was housing prices and the square mileage of ghettos and crime. No?

since the Aliens program them that way
I wonder if they spew chemtrails as well?
Seriously, if you're going to participate or be part of the leadership of an organized protest, consider all your "command and control" participants use - get this! - "burner phones", and then at some point, ditch them.
And be seen using a flip phone? Never.
The horror! The horror!

That's a terrible analogy, because those export control laws were null and void outside the US.
My point was that if it exists anywhere, it will be available everywhere.
You most certainly can! It simply becomes criminalized. That means if you ever have a problem with the government and they CAN'T simply read all your communications they'll simply jail you for making it difficult for them to pin something else on you.
I'm sure the Terrorists are worried about this...

Two things about this...

Make a parallel open internet using the open backbone with end to end encryption. Done.
Of course! Why hasn't someone done that!
a Kaby Lake processor that's not soldered onto the logic board.
...that you could upgrade the CPU in the future with something that fit the same socket?
Jailbroken and rooted phones say otherwise.
But jail-breaking and rooting, that's not "ransomwear".
In any case there are significant differences between the phone OS and the desktop OS, just because they both share the same basic name doesn't mean one hack works on the other
Not sure "releasing yet another Android phone, this time with a camera obscuring the screen" is necessary technological disruption...
How about a camer with a digital assitant that also folds a phone ino the equasion? Now that would be "game changing".
So what do they plan to do about it? Probably use essentially off-the-shelf designs - because there really isn't much real innovation in consumer electronics these days, and market their phone / TV / tablet / digital consumer assistant / sports watch / whatever with their brand name while using the same Chinese manufacturers as everyone elseâ¦
