Grumble about the graphics choices: dark-grey-on-black-with-other-dark-colors is a terrible color scheme, that renders the borders nearly invisible. There's a reason print maps have a standard set of colors, with very light blue for o

Remember that there was a "one-time fee" exception for "favored clients" (read: friends of Trump), who could pay a single lump-sum of something like $1 million, and then apply for unlimited H-1B's at the old fee str

That may be, but the government doesn't need to declare Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" in order to just not do business with it. A simple clause in all RFPs is all that is needed. The problem with this declaration by the

The problem with describing the "spending" like this is that it only counts money that's donated to specific candidates or their PACs. What it doesn't count is the literal billions that have been spent capturing all of t

Not these fighter planes. They literally need both the propulsion and an active flight computer to fly stably. Without the flight computer, they are uncontrollable. Think balancing a pencil on your finger - if your finger is immobilized

Unfortunately that's not how it plays out in most large organizations, which have separate network, hypervisor, security, etc., teams. Everyone works off a playbook, whose origins are usually lost in time and space. If you want them to

Depends on where he filed. If he had filed in the US, he would have no chance at all. In the UK, he has a much stronger chance, but then, in the UK, HP did win a civil lawsuit against him and the CFO, so Lynch can't argue that HP showe

You could, instead, ration the amount of electricity that you can consume for an industrial facility (at least at "normal" or long-term negotiated rates). Every additional KwH needs to be purchased at spot rates. That will protec

I think the key here is that SolarWinds' C-staff deliberately downplayed the severity of the attack, and were very late in informing customers and regulatory agencies of the severity of the attack. I.e. they are being prosecuted not be
