Reading between the lines. Someone got a grant, their employer has a publicist (good old Mizzou), 'theVerge' has no bullshit filter.
Bottom line, someone and his/her grad students will be living it up for the next few years. I-70 is a busy highway. They will conclude that it makes no sense if not part of a bigger system, getting it half right.
The problem is $80k drones. Put the sensors in a separate package and fly them under a $100 slow stick, attach parachute to sensor package and done. Who cares if the eagles destroy some styrofoam, it's cheap.
We know how to patch systems. That's not the issue. The issue is systems _not_ getting patched, which is pure culture/priorities.
Until you fix the issue, running around patching will always be playing catch up.
Known state? Again, not much point of getting to a known patched state if you know it will just be ignored after.
Also 'Known patched state' isn't easy, especially in a culture where no one is responsible (and has the time). You'll be finding additional servers upto the last minute of the patch process, perhaps after. Big companies can make big messes.
If your systems aren't being consistently patched, it's because patching is not a priority. The update 'test and deploy' teams is understaffed (likely headcount 0).
Freezing everything and patching like crazy for a few days is likely break things, giving MBAs exactly the wrong data. (Think of MBAs as really buggy, flakey machine learning algorithms. You have to curate what they 'learn'.),
In six months you'll be right back where you started, unless staffing and responsibilities are changed.
As far as they went. They found the vulns. It's not clear if they had anyone on team experienced enough to see the syptoms (live systems unpatched for months) then diagnose the cultural problem and pass that information, loudly and clearly, to the level it needed to get in Equifax (the Board via the CEO, on the record).
Based on my experience with corporate 'contractors' (been one), they put their results through channels. Which is just as good as burning them as far as results go, covers ass though.
As this matures, we'll eventually get to the point where there's something like a structural engineer ticket for network security. Won't be for decades. The 'responsible professional person' model can work.
The credit bureaus are pretty useless, let Equifax die, break the other two into three smaller ones each. Done. Again: Too big to fail, is too big to exist.
Financial education should be taught _every_year_ in school, kindergarten to high school. If they haven't 'got it' by then, it's hopeless. Don't add it to college. Debt is a necessary tool. Try and buy a house without it. But don't be it's servant. Don't use it to buy rapidly depreciating items (e.g. cars), at least not more than once in your life.
You don't know how laws work. Who decides what is and isn't a 'technical justification for managing traffic'? The feds, specifically clueless bought lawyers working for the feds, who will decide what is QoS and what isn't.
Coincidently, I'm planning on fucking two chicks at one time...Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lawrence. Two more on deck in case one of the primaries gets a cramp or something.

We bailed out the UAW pension fund. Read up on the details.
All US ports fall under the act. It's just another diversion. Pure bullshit.
Getting to a known state for a moment in time is exactly useless.
Even the 'good end state' isn't having every system patched instantly.
If a system is in a truly unknown state, it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up anyhow. You don't know what's in there.
S/N ratio.
It's generally better now. But the first rule of Usenet is don't talk about...No carrier.
Used to mean 'In favor of Liberty'. Not for a long time though.
Left and right of the French revolution are ancient history. The left won.
Even in France, the words mean something different now.
'If they will not work, they shall not eat'
That new testament?
To say nothing of the excellent 'Northern Columbia Donkey Fuckers' story.
This is apparently _not_ a quad copter, it's a bunch of fixed wing drones.
Nobody had even started to campaign against Bernie. Hillary didn't want to offend his red supporters.
To say nothing of the fact that a large part of 'Bernie bros' were simply 'never Hillary'.
Bernie took his wife to Lenin's tomb for their honeymoon. Is on record supporting Castro. Unelectable red. I hope they do nominate him next.
Your right, 'shoot, shovel and shutup' is the way to go. Birds of prey are pretty inedible anyhow.
Anybody got a good recipe for eagle?
Nothing a 10 gauge goose gun can't fix.

If you need more weight, upgreyedd the airframe.
No, real estate will concentrate into the hands of those with piles of money. Everybody else pays rent.

It's a short sighted, non-solution anyhow.

Invest your entire retirement with him. Go for it. You can't lose.
I only dream the Ds nominate a full tilt loony lefty. Four more years!

Fuck them in the knife wound instead. EUrocrates want a fresh hole.
Net neutrality does not ban QoS. It can't without breaking the net.
Putting the definition of QoS into the hands of the federal government? What could go wrong?
