So good
I know the whole 90s meme of 'I am a controlled munition' went around because cryptography was labeled an ordnance subject to export control laws, and therefore code that performed those kind of computations were forbidden to be sold abroad, liable to a felony.
What happens today? Government gets rights to source code, logs, and rubber stamps/rejects your code from executing in the cloud?
Government limits your access to commodity infrastructure?
So there are tests that leverage mocks. Those mocks help validate software is performing as desired by enabling tests to see the software behaves as desired in varying contexts.
If the software fails, it is because the mocks exposed that under certain inputs, undesired behavior occurs, an assert fails, and a red line flags the test output.
Validating that the mocks return the desired output.... Maybe there is a desire that the mocks return a stream of random numbers and the mock validation tests asserts said stream adheres to a particular distribution?
Maybe someone in the past pushed a bad mock into prod, that mock validated a test that would have failed given better mock, and a post mortem when the bad software, now pushed into prod, was traced to a bad mock derived a requirement that all mocks must be validated?
This bill seems to expand powers, not restrict
This 1000x times
Future innovators, don't take security for granted; someone who cares will eat your lunch.
I smell a lawsuit
Imprecise law enforcement enables political office holders to arbitrarily leverage the law to arrest people they label as a political enemy, e.g. Aaron Swartz.
If everyone that ever shared publications outside the legal subscriber base was precisely arrested, charged, and punished, I dont think the punishment amd current legal terrain regarding the charges leveraged against him would have lasted.
But this is a feature, not a bug.
Oh boy, if this is the case, oh boy.
Lessons not learned indeed.
What is the risk, probability of actualizing the risk, and the outcome of actualized risk?
The ticktock ticktock routine reads like baseless fearmongering to me.
Recruitment tables should just have a banner that reads 'we've already spent your bonus on legal fees, here's some chocolate'
I see.
