1: The National Security Agency said that a hacking group implicated in the break-ins into Democratic Party servers in 2016 has been trying to steal intelligence on vaccines from health care organizations
2: The potential harm here is limited to commercial harm, to companies that are devoting a lot of their own resources into developing a vaccine in hopes it will be financially rewarding down the road
"As I have said, this southern threat lost many votes, but it gained more than would cover the lost. It frightened the timid, but stimulated the brave; and the result was—the triumphant election of Abraham Lincoln."

I had to sell a portion of the code a while back. Embarrassed for anyone to see it, I tried to focus on just one thing: make it easy to read and follow. Especially since the client was buying the source code.
It was really freeing. I didn’t need to care about all the industry "standards". By presenting it as "easy to read" I could unburden myself of intellectual contests. They do have merit and I appreciate those smarter than myself. But for this situation, the client was at liberty to turn the code into anything they wanted. My code must be the standard for readability and it was fast enough. They added "const" to everything and that was probably proper.
These manifestos are really just guide rails which without could otherwise send you over cliffs. Guides are not laws and rules to be adhered to literally. They are to make you think about why you have twenty levels of inheritance, ten function parameters, and abstractions that don't apply to the domain you are modeling.
If I was to instruct a young programmer today, I would steer them more towards being "simple" and less towards "impressive". Being impressive and clever has its place. Too much, however, and no one will know what you were doing.
A warning indeed.
Its a very grim reminder of the horrors of war. It took a lot to create the nation of America. It was very costly to also bring about the freedom of all people. America set a precedent for the rest of the world to follow.

1) Root: everything is stored on a separate drive, that in turn is backed up to a NAS, that is itself backed up to another offsite NAS.
2) Sub: inside of root is several folders representing major concepts like development, images, software, and so on. They can be multi-level deep, like "development/languages/C++).
3) Topic: inside of the sub is everything related to this topic. So, could be a project if it lives under programming, a software product if it lives under "network", and so on.
4) Search the above using a tool like FileSearchEX.

The Dr. Fauci reference:
Thoughts?
This will continue in this life. If you give all power to government, then they will cause the harm. If you give all power to the public sector, they will cause the harm. A balance is required between the two and that based on agreement.
To the issue you bring up, specifically. Become a trusted source of information that the public sector can rely on. Trust, once lost, becomes difficult to re-obtain.
