It is really hard to take federal law seriously though when the very next section 18 U.S. Code § 922 states:

(h)It shall be unlawful for any individual, who to that individual’s knowledge and while being employed for any person described in any paragraph of subsection (g) of this section, in the course of such employment— (1)to receive, possess, or transport any firearm or ammunition in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce; or (2)to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

Even better, there is a video of it. He definitely said it.

No... US clearly belongs to Israel, not the other way around. This is what happens when politicians are bought and Americans have been conditioned that you can never say no to Israel or you're an antisemite.

Hmm.. if only someone could stop sending Israel more money until they stop the genocide.

Omg Democrats are complaining about their own candidates position? We must worship her as she can only do good and never do anything wrong.

No this is Republicans demanding something they never actually wanted and Democrats actually doing the right thing for once. Trump misses Biden so much already. Even if Trump is too old I'd rather Republicans think he isn't than to try to convince them to change him out for a better candidate.

So they need to just have plans or they have to be wealthy already to get grants?

Was it about how to live without Google or how to bypass ads on YouTube?

Such a security risk though, but still better than curling scripts into sudo

 

This is an unpopular opinion, and I get why – people crave a scapegoat. CrowdStrike undeniably pushed a faulty update demanding a low-level fix (booting into recovery). However, this incident lays bare the fragility of corporate IT, particularly for companies entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive personal information.

Robust disaster recovery plans, including automated processes to remotely reboot and remediate thousands of machines, aren't revolutionary. They're basic hygiene, especially when considering the potential consequences of a breach. Yet, this incident highlights a systemic failure across many organizations. While CrowdStrike erred, the real culprit is a culture of shortcuts and misplaced priorities within corporate IT.

Too often, companies throw millions at vendor contracts, lured by flashy promises and neglecting the due diligence necessary to ensure those solutions truly fit their needs. This is exacerbated by a corporate culture where CEOs, vice presidents, and managers are often more easily swayed by vendor kickbacks, gifts, and lavish trips than by investing in innovative ideas with measurable outcomes.

This misguided approach not only results in bloated IT budgets but also leaves companies vulnerable to precisely the kind of disruptions caused by the CrowdStrike incident. When decision-makers prioritize personal gain over the long-term health and security of their IT infrastructure, it's ultimately the customers and their data that suffer.
