tombot what would the DoD do if the president ordered it to cease planning for/wasting money on climate change? just ignore it?

Like squeezing jello. I’m challenged to think of the right wording of the order that would have to come down to make the entire defense apparatus pivot towards spending more money on fuel instead of spending less

especially since Mattis has a DEPSECDEF who has made a priority of running an actual audit of DoD expenditures

both and also the GAO is fond of completely ignoring defense-in-depth practices whenever they do an infused audit
PS the GAO's in-house daycare is called "tiny findings" which I love

say i've found a procurement on https://www.fpds.gov/ that i'd like to know more details about. i have an "Award ID" and "Referenced IDV ID". is there some way i can read the original call for proposals, or winning bid? or just anything more than a bunch of mailing addresses and vendor identifies?

Have you tried ducking around on fedbizopps.gov?

They archive a lot of stuff there IIRC
Tombot, I have been reading this book and was wondering if you have as well, or have any thoughts on the events documented https://www.amazon.com/Sandworm-Cyberwar-Kremlins-Dangerous-Hackers/dp/0385544405

I have the book but haven’t cracked it. The part where Rob Lee from Dragos finagled a sample of the malware from ESET so he could get the scoop on them has already generated some controversy in “the community”

I no longer have a boring job where I can get away with using Visio to put word bubble captions on top of carefully curated internet images for most of the day. That presents a significant barrier to my creative process.

This revive has caused my 2020s to begin on a very sad and happy note. I can’t believe this thread has almost a thousand answers. And I hate, hate, hate nostalgia.

I apologize for asking that and then promptly _forgetting to bookmark the thread_ leading me to believe my question was not addressed!
I feel like the internal politics of the analysis/CVE community was mostly left out of the text, probably for the better.
