Hey cool, it’s that a person who caused this mess telling me what to do about it.

Here’s what liz should do.

• Invent a time machine.

• Actually endorse Bernie instead of help the establishment beat him back.

You don’t get to lead the resistance as a collaborator liz.

We have so short memories we forget Biden’ rode in preaching accountability and on the heels of George Floyd’s murder. And then for at least some of us failed to deliver.

If you were listening, she gave plenty of reasons to send a message back right out of her own mouth.

Condemning a genocide would have been an easy win for one, but it’s one of a dozen. She ran a campaign to hug the center, she got all the voters that will get you because 70/240 million possible Americans aren’t persuadable. But it’s all she tried. Gun control, health care, labor rights, dropping death penalty reform from the platform, a campaign run to save us from Republicans… With a bipartisan panel involving Republicans.

I’m not for an instant insinuating there isn’t a problem with both race and sex in America, but the problem is the people fighting it from the top are idiots who can’t do basic math. There were plenty of votes to win among the 80-110 million people who are eligible, but didn’t.

No I don’t think they’re going to be better off, but the blame is not giving them the thing they want to vote for. They outnumber you. They would have beaten Trump.

I believe not wanting to put the guy back in who did nothing as the Saudi’s bone sawed one of your writers falls into; common sense.

Bozo thought his own op ed was more important than the journalism of his “editorial board”, people who he presumably pays to write opinions. People who are journalists.

He thinks he’s an astronaut and a journalist because he can buy rocket companies and papers, but he’s a clown demonstrating his own lack of understanding of bias in plain English, his paper is worth but the circus music following him.

This is always a spectrum from how long it was since the last Debian stable release. So about 2 years max.

Modern release cadences make it crazy anywhere but Debian, but security patches are very timely. If you’re dealing with newer features, driver support or java/npm packages you’re probably also outside the typical defaults, but there’s generally some people working to keep the common ones up to date.

Still not my preferred way to handle updates and in some cases… kind of abusive to the maintainers who constantly haVE to deal with bug reports from “out of date” Debian users. The xscreensaver maintainer has some choice words. But it works, has for years with no sign of slowing.

That’s probably closer today than it was then. The added complication being that client is probably not thin enough for them to return to mainframe model which would be vastly easier to monetize.

Besides we got WSL out of the bargain, so at least inter op isn’t a reverse engineering job. Its poetically the reason linux ended up killing the last few win sever shops I knew. Why bother running win sever x just to run apache under linux. Why bother with hyper v when you can pull a whole docker image.

If the fortune 500 execs are sold on microsoft ita mostly as a complicated contactual absolution of cyber security blame.

I know about 3 people on earth that ever ran it in anything approaching production. Two of them still found a way to use the acme editor til LSPs took over, one is still at it.

It remains a pretty cool project you can still find people maintaining the bones of it. I think the core utils are ported and in the arch repo.

So, most of the knowledge of what levers are exploited is going to come out of industry. I don’t expect him to know a common persons problems, but he might know how to help.

When Obama was nominated I pretty instantly had my pulse raised over Tom Wheeler (FCC) and Tim Geitner (treasury), only to find myself surprised by Tom. His pick Jessica Rosenworcel is probably the best thing in my lifetime, and common carrier laws have only really held because he’s been ready to stick it to Comcast.

Geitner should be behind bars.

It really depends, and a lot of what’s on record from their time in industry is the company line. it’s kind of counter intuitive, but things like ‘pork’ in bills in congress get cooperation because they can seek new organizations of power.

Divide and conquer works on the powerful too.

Science of identity?

I hadn’t heard of it til the odd confluence of seeing Prysner’s name on QAA. His own podcast eyes left covers her recent bio.

There’s some evidence she’s a cult member, and was posturing as some kind of Manchurian candidate.

No, really.

Mike Prysner has made a few decent podcasts (QAA, eyes left) following her political career and service. I don’t think you can definitionally tie her to membership, but she’s got some questionable associations.

Cisco has been clueless for awhile. The people who want speed don’t trust them to do basic network stacks, they want to do something more complicated?

The HFT industry noticed Cisco was messing with routing stacks, and you can essentially look to the entire market cap of Arista as a direct result. Specifically people wanting to avoid the headaches of the nexus line (EOS is nice!).

They are the victims of their own success to the point they long ago cannibalized actual product innovation. A lot of the industry still wants their certs, but nobody I know who values speed (local stripped back switches) or stability/availability (AWS and minimal office equipment) would chose them for much. A lot of the purchases are from big players with long contracts, the “Nobody got fired for IBM” of network equipment.

This just screams moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

If you dive into the theory at all about how ranked choice systems are gamed I think everyone is doomed for a headache.

Don’t feel bad, it’s infinitely better than what we have broadly, but it demands a lot more of the average voter if you’re not voting a party ticket. If you’re struggling you’re doing it right.
