Well, not reacting just encourages more attacks.
If your goal is fewer attacks,launching your own is a terrible method of achieving your goal. Even if you stop all the "enemy" attacks that doesn't mean the number has decreased.
The good news is that US nuclear weapon silos are stuck with 1970s technology. https://slate.com/technology/2014/04/huge-floppy-disks-and-o...
I am pointing the finger at Microsoft for allowing bad security practice in windows kernel, architecture and other aspects of the Windows operating system. I am have to hand it to Microsoft for the good job security. However without knowing the extent of the incident, and going off of this part: "At this point, the investigation has found that the malware has been isolated to business networks only..." It is more tha…
Microsoft moved the GDI into the (formerly) NT microkernel back in the switch from NT 3.51 to NT 4.0, for performance reasons -- and it was needed back then. If the Linux kernel is getting too heavy for you (there really is a lot going on in there now), you can always switch to FreeBSD or OpenBSD. (no snark intended, this is actually quite a viable option for many workloads.)
Microkernels with capabilities are the only way to go. L4, Fiasco, Genode, ...
Hopefully the networks that have launch and scheduling are fully airgapped.

Deterrence is a time-honored strategy. As the Romans liked to say, "if you want peace, prepare for war." It tends to prevent adversaries from miscalculating, a proximal cause of many a bloody conflict.

Those characterizations of yours make it sound really bad. Yet, the quality of life in America, as well as around the world, has improved drastically. How many people have luxuries like cell phones, computers, TVs, cars, refrigerators, indoor plumbing and heating, as well as access to resources like ambulances and hospitals--the list goes on. How humans of centuries past would long to have lived at this time, if they…
There’s a reason Bernie Sanders was so popular with young voters. HN is an echo chamber for capitalism, but the reality for most people is capitalism is failing them, society is failing them, and if we want to keep what we have today, we urgently need to address these failings.
You sound just like a politician with your empty, alarmist assertions ("failing! urgently address!"). Are you a Sanders staffer? I mean, it would explain your comments.
When you reward loyalty over competence, shit like this is just a matter of time.
Why is all of this important stuff just hanging off the internet like it's a public webserver in a data center?
So that they can get software updates.
This stuff was solved BEFORE the Internet was in widespread use.

You didn't even respond to a single thing I said. You just repeated your original claim that, "Capitalism is failing them." That's tantamount to propaganda--keep repeating yourself until people believe you. You sound just like a politician with your empty, alarmist assertions ("failing! urgently address!"). Are you a Sanders staffer? I mean, it would explain your comments.
Capitalism is failing these people. There’s statistics all around. If you want to bury your head in the sand and lash out at random people on the internet, I feel sorry for you.
