    For most people the consequences of this action will be too far away to understand the connection, so it’s a pretty good target for the US Republican party.

    The EU needs to start planning now (well, really, needed to start planning in 2016) to replace every critical system that relies in any way on the US government.

    If you think of money invested vs. return on government programs like this, the benefit is incredible. That it’s being discontinued is obvious proof that the US is run by the agents of its own destruction and cannot be relied upon in any way: not as a supplier of military equipment, or information technology, or economic codependency.

      I listen to SN while at work. I may take next Tuesday night off and grab a big bag of popcorn.

    Imagine being one of the tech billionaires who Trump bankrolled and he does this- basically handing out wrenches for people to throw.

    On the bright side, at least our upcoming American cyberpunk dystopia is now more likely to feature a greater prevelance of lone wolf, broke, two bit hackers as a semi-viable lifestyle/‘career path’…

      It shouldn’t surpris too much given Mike Pondsmith’s general record of clairvoyance that NetWatch is a European Corp.

      And, no, “Vos videmus” totally isn’t a creepy motto. Based out of London, one could almost think that it’s the London CCTV system turned sentient AI.

    One can only conclude that either this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US (and by extension much of the west), or just another monumentally stupid idea brought to life by their limitless incompetence.

      I suspect that the administration that asked their people to stop focusing on Russia in the cyber space is deliberately trying to weaken our security posture in relation to said country. This confirms it.

      I’m half-sure Trump put price tags on everything in the WH and every time you see a stupid thing in US foreign policy (local is guided by P25), you may hear Donald’s OF donation bell ring.

        My sense is orgs are correcting now from the over-hiring they did a few years ago. Our InfoSec department blew up over the last 5 years as did many corporations but the problem is in the boom you had, for lack of a better way to put it, a lot of morons snuck in under the auspices of “I took a course I’m a security engineer!”

        Now corporations are moving on to risk mitigation which is a completely different skillset.
