> Random selection by our screening technology prevents terrorists from attempting to defeat the security system by learning how it operates. Leaving out any one group, such as senior citizens, persons with disabilities, or children, would remove the random element from the system and undermine security. We simply cannot assume that all terrorists will fit a particular profile.
I have wondered why the likes of McKinsey, KPMG, and PWC do not put up candidates (don't even sponsor them, just say you're electing _well known consultancy_).
The author (Cong Wang) is building all sorts of neat stuff. Recently, they built kernelscript: https://github.com/multikernel/kernelscript -- another DSL for BPF that's much more powerful than the C alternatives, without the complexity of C BPF. Previously, they were at Bytedance, so there's a lot of hope that they understand the complexities of "production".
I find it funny that companies like AT&T and Equifax are barely scrutinized for their data handling practices compared to the Amazon and Googles of the world. I wonder why that is.
