  1. Re:None of which has anything to do with NN on Ajit Pai's FCC Can't Admit Broadband Competition Is a Problem (dslreports.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    The NN rules helped with all the new networks over the years?
    All that new community broadband got to start up all over the USA thanks to federal NN rule changes?
    Still on paper insulated wireline enjoying federal NN monopoly networks?
    The courts saw the federal NN rules and allowed with new community network projects?
    New networks have to be allowed many local people can support new community broadband networks. Let cities and states build innovative new networks.
    Connect to a long list of ISP and the free market can select from what an ISP offers on that new community network.
    The ISP would have to be innovative with what it offers as the network is new and a lot of different ISP are selling plans in that community.
    Walled communities, wealthy parts of a city and local business could have had ISP competition on new networks to attract new home buyers, customers, consumers. Digital innovation would more to their city, state rather than other less well networked cities and states.
    Resorts, hotels, educational users could have provided new networking to attract paying guests and students with innovative new community networks.
    Like local wholesale power cooperatives, the community could have invested profits back into more networking.
    Building on what a wealthy community needed rather than been held back by federal NN rules and having to use existing telco monopolies.

    Your band offers tech and more new tech. The other big brand has long boring meetings about telling the world about how good it is.
    What to join a fun, new, dynamic, innovative tech brand? Want to sit in a meeting after boring meeting on the optics of branding and what words to use?
    Welcome to an actual tech company that still considers merit and skill? Welcome to the big brand that tells the world about the brand?

  8. Re:Yeah... on Trump Signs Surveillance Extension Into Law (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    AC the need for collect it all domestically goes back to Project SHAMROCK, Project MINARET.
    Project SHAMROCK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    Project MINARET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    The only time the security services got questioned over their nation wide illegal domestic collection was doing the 1970's Church Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    The result was the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....

    Want to collect it all domestically?
    Show a domestic 4, 5, 6, 7 hops to anything "Foreign" and keep on collecting everything domestically every decade. Collect it all never stopped, it just needed a rubber stamp from a court that has to be presented with anything "Foreign" and then the court won't consider saying no.
    Big brands too. PRISM (surveillance program) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    Color of law makes it all domestically legal for the collectors.
    As many hops as needed to any "Foreign" communication and the Fourth Amendment not longer protects US citizens.
    Still having domestic legal problems for collect it all? Just go full Project MINARET again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and ask another 5 eye nation for some domestic support in the USA.

  9. Why not? The legal documentation is covered by a lawyer and one person with a security clearance.
    Thats the very legal front end of a small company that won the mil/gov bid.
    The code can be done in another low wage nation.
    Sign off on it and present it as domestic code that has had full overnight by people approved by that nation.
    The code is on time and works to some gov/mil standard when tested.
    If the gov/mil wants changes later then local experts with security clearances can go back over the low wage code and add new features using that nations billable hours.
    Outsourcing can win every contract if they present in just the right way in any nation that demands security clearances.
    Use "restriction that the work be done in country" as a way to up sell later support contracts. Present the code as already approved parts in other approved projects? Anything to get the low cost code in nation.
    If "restriction that the work be done in country" then every US gov and mil project would be US only? What about a France? Italy? Germany? No parts? Services? Support? No bids from any of them? Buy into a trusted US brand and try that way in....

  10. It can get better and more profitable once real support gets paid over decades of gov/mil tech projects.
    Present winning bids at low costs to more local, state and federal govs/mil.
    Win more contracts on the low cost of past winning bids.
    Win in the USA? Present to NATO/EU nations gov/mil as part of free trade. Starting in any EU/NATO nation? Demand equal access to the US mil/gov martlet as free trade.
    Not in the USA, EU, NATO? Find some nations lawyers and a few people with a security clearance and use them as a small front company thats fully compliant.
    Find staff who can push the "small" new company front story. Structure the created front company to virtue signal and take full advantage of any nations political correctness support for the bids given who is on staff. Create a brand to win bid using the type of staff needed to get special consideration in every bid presented.
    Keep using the low IQ, low cost wage nations to write the code. Keep ensuring the support costs are done by skilled locals as rent.

    Sooner or later some gov will consider doing the code with their own gov/mil experts at a low cost domestically. The needed experts already work for the nation/mil, why is the service and support been paid for in the private sector a years of billable hours?
    Thats a good question that can be stopped.

    Use the lawyers to ensure a grassroots party political protest group gets the message out that big bad gov is blocking a small growing company that has very special staff members.
    Staff that are under represented in that area of tech. Now big evil gov, the big evil mil is not using the best local, innovative, private sector staff who worked so hard to win a bid that was open to all. Use the local staff to virtue signal until the bids are in place again.
    The right optics from that front company and the coordinated "protests" will ensure the bids keep flowing. So will the needed overtime.
    Another big project? Pass all the real work back to the low IQ, low wage nation.

    Remember to lobby and always keep up the campaign contributions to all political parties. Keep the front company staff with the good optics in the national press too with branding for charity and political events.
    Political leaders have a charity they are a part of? Support that.
    Political protection will ensure no questions get asked about low code quality and the growing cost of supporting a project.

    Want to get really creative?
    Use a nations security to block further investigations of the code quality.
    Lobby to fly your low cost, low IQ workers from the poor nations into the advanced nation under but keep their own low wages for a short time contracts. Just for that very secret project. Its for security and the low wage workers will return to their own nation quickly. Rotate low cost workers to keep a new low wage work force in that advanced nation.
    Can the local full wage national competition can under bid that constant rotation of very low wage staff that can now do mil/gov work with fully approved security clearances?

    Win, win, win. Use politics, use a few front company staff to present as small, loyal, innovative domestic company.
    Use the low wage nations for the projects. Rent support back to the mil, gov locally after a winning bid and enjoy the profits.

  11. 1. Have lawyers and contractors create a product for mil/gov and win the bid.
    2. Code the product in a nation with low wages. Have lawyers and a person with clearance needed present the code as compliant.
    3. Rent the service and support to the mil/gov.
    4. Support problems by making more profit locally again in overtime costs.
    5. Outsource upgrades.
    6. Get the billable hours up for local 24/7 support.

    Low wage nations with average IQ workers win bids and keeps costs down for the entire project.
    Billable hours for locked in support needed later makes the profit.
