    I would hate this for a number of reasons: 1. You say its not about competing against each other, but I can't fathom how else most people would interpret it. Imagine going to a pan…

    What would you consider the IRA to be in lieu of anti-government? I don't think I said the IRA were a militia, I drew a conclusion that this incident, which I speculate as being ti…

    First, this isn't an analysis as much as it is pointless speculation on a Y Combinator message board. I already listed some things that stood out to me in another comment. I call o…

    Yep metcalf is why I'm making the leaps here. Also because metcalf is only one of dozens of similar events that occured throughout the US in the past 8-10 years or so, all similarl…

    Yea when I first saw the coverage my immediate assumption was a crazy anti-5g person. But reading accounts of the events leading up to the explosion made it sound too well executed…

    Purely my opinion and speculation here, but I'd say the things that stick out to me are the timing and avoidance of random casualties for one. This is a hallmark used by the IRA an…

    I saw a bunch of headlines recently that said the FBI had decrypted one of the popular secure messaging apps (telegram or signal maybe?), which, bizarrely enough, fits my narrative…

    I think you're cherry picking here. There were: 16-20 cases handled by the NSF IG's office "regarding the disclosure of foreign ties" since 2018. "They were considered rule violati…

    There are so many tools like this popping up, I just wish the creators in this space realized the gap in local implementation. I've worked on numerous teams that would benefit from…

    Yea 100% true, I didn't think I suggested otherwise but appreciate the clarification. I only mentioned Trump because he is 1. the current president, and 2. seems to support militar…

    Like some others I'm a little skeptical of the budget argument. A lot of the equipment that one would typically see employed for a protest or riot response (riot gear, crowd contro…

    Totally agree, which is why I recommended people contact their local Attorney's General if they live in a state or city where one of these are located.

    A lot of statements and theories about these camera's from all sorts of directions, but they're just pole cams. LEA's have been using pole cams since before I was born (I'm 34). I …

    I had one before that, asking about all member data from a darknet list. It seemed logical that select * from members would be the answer based, but I couldn't get it to accept no …

    I've never heard this argument before. Generally China steals IP because it's faster and cheaper to build something when you can skip years or decades of R&D. I have trouble swallo…

    This is just my 2 cents, but you've already identified the flaw in Michael's books. I have an older version but in my opinion they're screenshot heavy with a reliance on step by st…

    This is probably the most narrow and poorly organized list of security specializations I've ever seen. If you literally just google "cyber security specializations" you will see a …
