Man⌠24 months after they learned of our massive, brazen, and almost definitely illegal hacking of their companiesâ internal systems(and just about everything else we could get our hands on) and those uppity nerds still havenât stopped being huffy. Donât they know that we Look Forward, Not Backward?
Thereâs just no pleasing some assholes, youâd think that we owed them rule of law or somethingâŚ
Typical reduction of real topical problems to emotional sensationalism. Security of peopleâs personal, professional, and network lives need not have anything to do with âhateâ nor âfearâ. It is simply a matter of evaluating risks and making the best possible decisions.
The thing reads like a bit of a puff piece. The straw man is âtechnies donât want to work with the defense agency!â Thatâs not really true. What IS true is that theyâve learned they canât TRUST the defense agency to not be utterly awful. Thatâs an appropriate response. Itâs on the governmentâs head to make the appropriate steps to regain that trust. And a shiny new building in silicon valley shouldnât be it, because thatâs not a real change in behavior, itâs just a dozen roses from that douchebag thatâs been banging your sister. He hasnât even promised to stop doing the awful thing.
Carter has suggested reforming the militaryâs personnel system so he can take better advantage of private sector talent.
If they donât take that question about illegal drugs off the security clearance application (with details, under penalty of perjury) theyâre going to keep having a problem. Maybe DoD can get behind legalization after all.
While Carter was speaking at Stanford, the DOD revealed details of a new cyber strategyâthe first update since 2011âthat calls for 133 teams
Not 1337 teams? They just keep getting it wrong.
Is it national typo day or something?
Like a unemotional stateless meat-bag of logic.
Fixed it (apologies if I overstepped my bounds, @doctorow, but it was driving me bonkers)

âIf what we reward in terms of federal moneys are people who have the knack for working with us rather than people who do the best job, thatâs a disaster.â
Can people who donât know how to work with you actually do a good job?
Its a work.
Yeah, techies hate and fear you because that darn Snowden. If only he hadnât revealed the truth about how you operate, then techies would still love and adore you. The way his statement bends the facts from âtechies hate and fear WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DOâ into blaming the messenger THAT, THAT is why techies hate and fear you.
