The NSA peed in their own pool. At one point in my life I would have found it really cool to do security work for the NSA or a defense contractor, but as their despicable behavior comes into light more and more, I can no longer say I'd have been proud to have worked there.
Its gotten to the point where if I saw "worked for the NSA" on someone's resume as a recent employer, I'd have serious questions about their ethical compass and why they chose to work for such a notorious organization. There are plenty of other more reputable opportunities to do security research and ops.

Please don't presume that you are entitled to define what hacker culture is.

How many friends of yours were blown up by IRA or shot by the UVF? How many people lost arms and legs at Omagh? Sustainable communities would be great. Let's start by helping Hezbollah build co working spaces in Beirut. Maybe the next Twitter is just waiting to be created by former Shia militias. The next time ISIS cut off a head or Islamists kill someone like Theo Van Gogh for doing nothing more than making a movie,…

Didn't congress look for evidence of them preventing terrorism and found nothing?

#66I applied for the US Air Force Cyber Command in 2008. While there is no way I could get a clearance I hoped to work in a purely defensive position. At the time every branch of the military wanted its own computer security force; eventually they were unified under the Joint Forces Cyber Command, which is under the Stategic Command (STRATCOM); the Strategic Command is the joint successor to the Strategic Air Command. (…

Due to something on your record, MJ use, or is it just really difficult fir civilians to attain?

Well maybe I do have some hope of my clearance being approved. While I flee from The Thought Police, Trixie shoots at them:

Due to the dangerous nature of her work, Trixie has a concealed carry permit and so would bring her "nine" on our dates, stash in her purse I expect.
My sister "The Fat Witch with a Gun" packs heat at the fucking library.
My family is heavily into genealogy as my mother was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution; she tells me that I am entitled to membership in the Sons of the American Revolution but I work alone.
This leads to my observation that severe mental illness is common among both sides of my extended family going back five hundred years, even those who are not my blood relatives such as my sister's husband's schizophrenic ex-wife.
There's a reason for this, actually it is quite common but I will explain later because I have to see a man about a horse.

Personal attacks are not allowed on Hacker News. We ban accounts that do this repeatedly.

I know what Gladio was, the NATO stay-behind operation in Italy. However the argument that something happened once therefore it is happening all the time is pretty flawed. Nobody would ever suggest that the existence of Gladio means that flase-flag operations are standard practice or the default mdoe of operation for the IC.
you dont know what gladio was. it wasnt confined to italy. and. isnt.

Oh man, I hope you aren't using SELinux then. Seriously, I hate how shrill stuff like this is automatically upvoted. It seems no one wants to have a mature view of what SIGINT means in the information age and in the age of endless cyberwar and terrorism. Thus far the view is "Lets let the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, etc do whatever they want (including invading their neighbors and annex lands), but if the US does an…
