Heh, most of the DoD is. But DoD also has non Title10/PPBE-programmed funding (foreign military sales, contingency and humanitarian operations funds, MWR funds and incomes, support-to-other-agency (e.g. the US Navy NAVWAR organization provides SUBSTANTIAL IT and cyber expertise to non-DoD entities and other federal agencies such as the FBI and DHS).

The DoD is like the End Game Boss on legal and financial edge cases.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or earnest.

This is the funniest possible response. The 'thorough need analysis' is the reason we are where we are now!

The thoroughness is so thorough that the needs change faster than the analysis can be completed, obviating the analysis in the first place.

To be fair, San Diego seems like it was designed specifically to be hostile to non-car travel, especially around the valleys and passes between the hills.

Downtown/GasLamp are totally viable with just an e-bike (and probably over into Coronado), bus as soon as you have to leave that area, I'd agree, non-viable.

I haven't worked or lived in any other city quite that brutally bad for bikes though?

I don't have this problem with Apple Music at all?

My 'for you' gives me a weird melange of stuff I love, stuff I forgot I loved, and occasionally 'wow what is this new stuff that's awesome', with the rare 'oh god I like this band but not this album' kind of thing.

It's pretty spot on, and has led to discovery of quite a few new artists I like.

I have a pretty wide taste, so it's sometimes...jarring to listen to, but it never veers into Top40.

Oracle, DB2 or SQLServer?

>The reducing load on the database claim is nonsense since the application would have to query the database anyway and less efficiently that the database could, avoiding numerous round trips between application and database.

Ah, but by shifting the logic to the app, I can now query multiple databases (of disparate types even! vector, document, object, relational, etc.), each optimized for its particular data and query types and combine the result. That's very....not easy in stored procedures. I can also scale out different tiers of the application based on its needs (heavy compute, gpu-based, etc.). How do you do that when everything is a stored proc on a database?

>Note that some of that was as a Lean Six-Sigma Black Belt doing Enterprise projects

>(I hate every single bit of terminology in that entire godforsaken sentence.

Checks out. :).

A super convenient way to do cool stuff like that in the DoD is to do it for the most senior Flag you can get interested in it directly. Projects at SECDEF or SECNAV offices work...differently than outside, as there isn't really an 'up' left for most of the folks involved (in my experience - most are extremely focused on getting the job done and/or the geo-strategic problems).

Would you rather they call you on the privately owned telephone network, or print a story in the privately owned newspaper? There are functionally ZERO non-private methods of communication from the govt to citizens in the US.

Fantastic - it's like he's channeling George Carlin!

The bar really is sooooo low

At least in the United States we have an official definition of cloud computing: https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/145/final

and that isn't it...

Agreed on all points. I just wanted to point out that 'spending on education' in a macro sense has no actual impact on 'spending on education' from an educational impact on students and teachers sense.

Spending on the education apparatus is not spending on the education of the child. Local teacher salaries are the same here as they've been for the past 10+ years, while the school's budget has gone up millions. Administration and overhead is a self-perpetuating growth industry. Also renovating buildings, changing standards for buses and playgrounds and such - tons of cash around educating the kids, but still, the teachers and books and such are the last to get anything.

NIST is Commerce :)

Cisco is pushing hard in the security space.

Can't you tune this with sysctl?

Ah yes, migration through sheer force of will.

The capital 'd' in the title is kind of important here :)

Possibly getting that talent to work on what became teams?

Plausible deniability for other operations out of the same system?

You're not using the software, you're using it on a 3rd party (GitHub).

That work is still under MPL (Terraform Providers, which are mostly community maintained / developed). Hashi owns and is the primary developer of the terraform tool itself, but not the 'keeping track of all the different API changes' part.

Heh. Curious, how old are you? When did you start using linux?

I feel like we may be approaching a generational gap in 'brand' equity.

"Hi, sorry, our corporate security and legal review prohibits us from using the Zoom platform. Can we switch to Y platform for this call instead?"

The arms race started the first time a Tesla shipped. They've had some serious security folks on the Tesla side since the early days.

It's the entire IC.

Lol, almost all of them. Email, DNS, file shares. Nearly every company today is using the cloud for some component of that...

Even the US DOD is using the cloud for email storage.

Then you're out of luck. That's the whole point.

I don't think there is any cross P&L strategy at play....

Neat. I wish they had a way to show your streaming plays? I basically stopped listening to local albums years ago...

Heh, only sort of joking, but this is literally Palantirs business model.
