My home airport has a UAS suspended in the lobby and more DoD contractor advertisements than anything else. Primarily for missiles, since we’re big into anything using rocket propulsion...

I’m curious. I work on our closed, classified network in the information security field. If Microsoft does provide cloud services, it would be under contract with staff that has the appropriate clearance and would be entirely segregated from the public internet. Obviously, using public internet links, but on a closed…

Silicon Valley’s reaction to this is ridiculous.

I also do IT for DoD. Have for the past 10 years. You are right, and I also am bitter that I would have a very tough time winning any of these contracts that are poorly managed simply because of my demographic.

I could see that. In the past, I thought the people working on the classified network were special. Now that I work infosec on that network, I just see it as extra work. Nobody feels special about it since everyone has access to it.

If that same group worked in a typical DoD setting, they’d get over that feeling of…

I’ve dealt with similar issues and cope similarly as well. The S2000 with the top down or CBR600RR are both highly therapeutic. Angry? Depressed? Simply stressed? I just go. No destination, pick a direction and go, then once my mind is clear I use nav to make my way back.

Sad, beautiful article. I can’t imagine the roller-coaster of emotions you have both been through. I’ve wanted to foster dogs and am fearful of having to give them up, so I think you two are very strong to attempt the same with a child. Time cures all. I hope the next child gets to stay with you all — it’s clear you…

My lawnmower has advanced technology that will disable it’s source of locomotion if it does not detect a booty. My cars took it a step further, and will nag me if it detects a booty but does not detect a seatbelt. Elon Musk, I have already reverse-engineered the technologies, and am willing to help you develop them…

I grew up in a small town with a high poverty rate and about a 50/50 white/black demographic. I went to school in that town from K-8th. It seeded a low-graduation-rate high school, and I went to one of the top high schools in the state. I’ve got experience with both sides of this debate. I disagree with the overall…

I understand your reaction towards the school one. I had a long explanation why I disagree with that article, but I’ll save it for discussion on that article. Bottom line — I see both sides, but I understand and in many cases agree with the perceived bias here.

However, this article? I see no problem. It describes the…

I’m not high, but I found this to be a very pleasant video.

I live out by Ryland’s Pike. My address is “Huntsville,” but I don’t use the post office less than a mile from my home. No, I use the one 15 minutes away. Likely will need to move to soak up that Google Fiber as well.

I’m pretty satisfied with my factory “infotainment” system and I don’t have CarPlay.

But seriously, I don’t understand the manufacturers trying to hard to avoid giving people what they want. Surely they know their own product isn’t as…

I’d like to repeat that I live there. I live in a definitely rural-part of “Huntsville,” where my address is Huntsville but it’s miles from the actual city. “Huntsville” isn’t rural. Anyone with the internet, which would likely include everyone here, can figure that out in a fraction of a second. However, the two…

It will either be on the outskirts of the city near a Target distribution center which is a pretty rural area, or on the outskirts of the city near an existing Toyota plant which is also in a pretty rural area.

Apparently you aren’t familiar with the area. I’ve lived there 15+ years. Don’t feel bad, a lot of people aren’t.

Huntsville has the highest number of engineers per-capita, one of the largest research parks in the world, and a huge DoD R&D presence. We did not feel the effects of the last recession nearly as hard as…

As a Huntsville resident, the “backwoods shit hole” description is inaccurate for that area, but I’ve also worked with people all over the world/country for years and understand why they feel that way. I used to work at the existing Toyota factory years back, and it’s grown rapidly since.

10 years in IT on gov’t networks, currently in the information security field... You are warned prior to logging into government computers and websites that the traffic is monitored. I’m still expecting some coworkers to be outraged tomorrow at this, and I will remind them of the notices we subconsciously click…

As others have said, the most common DoD email network is actually pretty secure. If you don’t have a smartcard, you won’t be sending email over the public internet.

However, this case is a bit frightening.

Common sense and basic logic has got me pretty far, but I was never taught to parallel park and never had to until my late 20s. Where I come from, it’s not a thing. Never even had the opportunity. Since then, I’ve parallel parked a few times, but I wouldn’t say I’m “good” at it.
