The real irony here is that a lot of ycombinator founders and the people reading HN were exactly the ones making this possible and now start to wonder why the snake eats its own tail.
Sorry, I made the mistake of installing PyPy.

I know that they are a 501(c)3, but they have significant revenue and intellectual property, so in order to do the lift and shift, there would need to be some money changing hands to accomplish it. Not only that, but being owned by the EU gives the ability for MITRE employees to have the option to immigrate to the EU to protect against any retaliation. I cannot believe I am typing that second sentence, but here we ar…
> Not only that, but being owned by the EU gives the ability for MITRE employees to have the option to immigrate to the EU to protect against any retaliation. According to which rule would "owning by the EU" result in an option to immigrate? Immigration is handled on a per country basis. I don't see how the EU provide such an option.
The EU can accomplish it with diplomacy. It’s unknown technology in America, but diplomacy and asking to work together is truly powerful.

Everything was always political. Laws, the economy, conflcit. How is any person not affected by these? The government is responsible for all or a large part of how a country functions. People who say "I'm not political" are deflecting to avoid conflict
I mean I think The Republican Incumbent was chosen specifically as a tool because he is so extreme, pervasive and demoralising and creeps into everything. Definitely by Russia, maybe also by our "friend" in the ME. Although it's not that reported on they are on friendly terms. Disaffection lends itself easily to creating a Russia-style society. This all feels pretty Dugin-esque, and his proposition (return to values,…
What is "ME" referring to?

#365These four years are going to be the death of all of us.
I find it a little incredible people are still talking about "four years". They tried to reject the election result and do a coup, and were rewarded for it by getting back into power. They are refusing to follow the law or the courts. They are sending people to gulags in foreign countries. All the checks and balances were destroyed last time. The party has been stripped of anyone who would fight the admin or reject t…
Organizing mass protests isn't something you do instead of organizing electoral opposition. Even in countries that haven't had fair elections for a while, people generally still organize opposition and talk about how they're going to vote. The best way to ensure your opponents retain power is to go around telling people it's too late and they've already won.

I assume that this comment should go somewhere else or I'm not able to decipher the message ;)

Re: CVE program faces swift end after DHS fails to renew contract [updated]
#368I'm surprised that it was USA's responsibility to fund this in the first place. Why weren't other countries providing funds?
I’m surprised that the world’s greatest universities are in the United States. Why weren’t other countries providing funds?
Don't worry, that will also end soon. Regimes that require political subservience from universities, like the current US administration, inevitably result in poor research capabilities in the long run.

#369I wish this hadn't happened. I wonder what level of compartmentalisation inside DHS means they didn't see this as having sufficient downsides? I ask this, because I don't think anyone in the subject matter specialist space would have made a strong case "kill it, we don't need this" and I am sure if asked would have made a strong case "CRISSAKE WE NEED THIS DONT TOUCH IT" -But I could believe senior finance would do t…
No, we’re in a middle of a coup. Palantir or some other odious company will get paid 100x more to do something.
People will not submit vulns as happily to such business.
Most of vulns will go unaddressed because company like palantir will most likely want only really good vulns like 0-click RCE.

The EU has agreed upon programs in order to bring in, through an immigration policy, high skilled persons from non-member states. More importantly, working within the member nations, as to which member nation would want MITRE to be located within their borders, is not something that is a hard sell given that it has economic advantages for whichever state(s) onboard MITRE.
