In many engineering professions licenses and certifications require adherence to an ethical code, for instance the ISC2 certifications like the CISSP. So for one to be a profession…

In some traditions, engineering is intertwined with responsibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_of_an_Engineer

"We only build and operate the orphan crushing machine, it's people that line up to turn the crank".

There was a sweet spot with computer technologies for some decades where hobbyists could afford to experiment and even push the envelope in the nascent field of computing - similar…

The amount of "it's not..., it's..." is excruciating. Especially since I find this an important area of discussion.

By that logic, most everything other than a club to the head is "just stories". Hume points out in a Treatise on Human Nature that most of how we interact with the world is through…

No, my apologies, I actually mis-attributed the etymology of stoic to a group that did identify with reduced emotionality, but yes, out of Greece. That’s not how the snipe was inte…

You might need to inspect the etymology of that word and take a look at where the concept is rooted.

Consider 2 researchers, Alice and Bob. Lets say that Alice has developed a cool way to analyze gene data, and she uses it on her gene data and gets cool information, so naturally B…

My issue with the strawberry example is different than yours - the items the author listed that we miss out on ("The texture, the juiciness, the complexity of the flavor, the imper…

The "stories" I reference are the wide ranges of events, decisions, and conversations that went into the camera's placement. Are the cameras just for show? Have they recently moder…

You are asking me why I can't write plainly, but I believe you're confusing me for the author, but I'll answer you anyways. "Plain" language removes nuance. Example: "She sat on th…

What came to mind is a camera pointed at the cash register tells a very different story than the camera pointed at the ATM, or pointing from the ATM for that matter. Placement and …

"We don't have a dedicated security team because security and privacy are integral to all aspects of our service". Do you have people whose role is explicitly security? Who are the…

Since you just submitted a statistic without any evidence substantiating it, I will leave this here for future readers: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-tel…

Have a source for that?

Yeah, orbital mirrors essentially expand the radius of Mercury, increasing the sunlight available. Terrestrial mirrors would ensure that light makes it from the sunward side to the…

Why does being so deep in the gravity well pose an issue? If you are assuming the Dyson swarm is intended to go back up the well then sure, but that isn't necessary.

I think the scary reality is most people conflate "keys" and "certificates". I have worked with security engineers that I need to remind that we do not use SSH certs, but rather ke…

Well I ask because I know it is not a real thing, and you seemingly doubled down acting like it is a real thing, showing that you don't know what you are talking about either.

If you've read Applied Cryptography, you'd know it is definitely a hose.

What is "TSSL"?

It was banned, the Trump admin wanted to unban it but didn’t. https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/biden-harris-administration...
