Another piece that tries to promote the idea that "following your dreams is dangerous" and that success has to do with privilege and not really with hard work. Beware of all these political ideologues trying to convince you that you are a born loser and there's nothing you can do about it.
In the 2024 elections, I don't remember 5 or 6 swing states suspending the counting at 10:00 PM all at the same time and for no reason, expelling election observers from the building, patching glass windows of the counting areas with cardboard, countinuing counting behind closed doors all through the early morning, and suddenly finding hundreds of thousands of votes 99% all for Trump.
Over 1 million babies killed by abortion every year. Thousands of sexual mutilations on teens every year in "sex reassignment" surgeries. But the MAGAs are the death cult. Sure.
Incident Response is like Project Management: you have a long list of processes with acronyms and definitions that you are supposed to follow step by step if something happens. Oh, and the process can only be directed by someone certified to do it. You spend a lot of time and energy just to make sure you fill up all the blanks in the process —playing with the tool when you should be fixing the thing.
I once helped my math-hating niece with math. I was eager to go through her homework and show her how wonderful math is. Her homework: How do you call the curve that intersects this figure in this way? How do you call the angle that is shown in the other figure? ...etc. I said, "Is this a math class or an English class? Who gives a s*t about how a curve is named?" It turned out her math class was all like this. This is what she is being taught that mathematics is. I would hate it with a passion too if I had been taught that way.
Suppose you get a degree, say, in mechanical engineering. You later get paid for a job where you needed to apply lots of knowledge that you got from copyrighted textbooks. Is that copyright infringement?
"They would have had to have navigated at least through part of the night, which would have required knowledge of the stars..." No sh*t. These people slept every night of their lives on the open dirt with nothing else to do but to look up at the light-uncontaminated sky.
Why is the guide for "government workers" as in "federal government workers"? Why not just "a guide to use Signal"? Is this article intended to encourage federal government workers to use Signal to share official information related to their federal duties - where it would be untraceable and deletable? Because that would be...illegal.
