Re: Nuclear weapons agency breached amid massive cyber onslaught
#62It feels like we're in the calm before the storm and nobody is watching the approaching squall. China growing in power and influence, flexing itself on the global stage. The US waning internationally, citizens divided and full of hate. We're factory-less, fab-less, and have fewer educated. Fewer consumers. Lots of debt. We have SpaceX, but China's pace of exploration and international cooperation is increasing faster…
Zoomers not liking capitalism is just young people being young.

#63This is the result of 4 years of neglect in the oval office. This is a disastrous breach - but not a surprise under our current leadership.

Absolutely damning. Sadly even on HN some cybersecurity experts that will trash companies for breaches will turn a blind eye to this because of their politics.
Re: Nuclear weapons agency breached amid massive cyber onslaught
#64Bit of a misleading title by Reuters. They accessed the business networks of the NNSA, the agency responsible for maintaining the nuclear stockpile, but did not access the networks managing the actual nuclear weapons, as the title half-implies. There was no threat of random nuclear weapon exploits, those networks have not been compromised as far as we know.
A cold comfort. That is still incredibly embarassing.

Too bad Biden is a China lap dog...
Meanwhile the President salutes Kim Jong-Un

Why should the US claim moral authority? It’s the least moral country on Earth - stolen, racist, solely designed to funnel wealth to white men. China deserves it more than us.

Considering the OPM hack under the predecessor provided information on every person with a security clearance, I don't think it is quite fair to blame one as this sadly seems to be par for the course. I'm sure the incoming octogenarian will understand the series of tubes better...
Good to know the buck doesn't stop at the presidency anymore. Guess it's just a free for all.

We make the biggest blockbuster movies. Have you even seen End Game? What about Frozen? (Not the sequel) The snowman Olaf transcends national borders. We'll be fine.
The studio system is shut down and blockbusters aren't coming back. Movies are going straight to streaming. Disney and Warner are doing far-reaching reorgs to see to it. Look also at directors like Nolan and Villeneuve complaining - they know their familiar way of life is coming to an end, and they're struggling to cope with the new reality. Low-budget is something we'll get schooled on. International studios are jus…
Sure, but Olaf? He sneezed his nose off! That's original. That will keep the US at the bargaining table on any geopolitical issue. Heck, China won't even allow the words "Winnie the Pooh" to be spoken on Chinese soil, so that crazy honey addict is in our pocket forever.

> even on HN
The delusions of grandeur HN has about it's own culture is why is still has these biases. There is no politics on HN, ipso facto it cannot be biased.
What the "no politics" really means is no vaguely left-wing shibboleths allowed.

China owns 40% of epic games? --- EDIT: wow, that's "unreal" ( excuse the pun ) ... what a sell out Epic games!
Everyone hates on Chinese repression and human rights violations until they get the check in the mail. What do you reckon the career prospects are of an Epic employee who criticizes China's treatment of Hong Kong? If precedents are followed, the entire company would be forced to make an embarrassing apology.
