Replace Computers with Human Couriers.

we elected a moron.

Er, some of us elected a moron. Sort of, anyway...

We are all in this shit together.

No argument there, but "we" didn't all pull the little lever with the big sign in glowing red letters over it that said "Do Not Pull This Lever" while standing on the trapdoor over the cesspool...

Im rooting for him. I don't want him to break the economy or kill millions of people or both. Im choosing to swallow the blue pill on this one.

 

[JSt0rm]

what scares me are some people who voted for trump think a "depression will do us some good" in that it will teach us about self reliance. This, to me, is a very very dangerous person.

It's a new job creation plan. Replace computers with couriers. Instead of email, we'll take all of those out of work coal miners and and put them to work carrying bundles of letters across Pennsylvania, through the rugged mountains West Virgina and eastern Kentucky and then pass them off to the Western Kentucky Outpost to be distributed across the rest of the of US.

Could we call them "postman"?

I'm psychologically incapable of that, however not necessarily in my best interests that has sometimes been... I certainly hope Circumstances and Other People manage to rein in the worst of what will, without a doubt in the world, be his "shit" (there is, after all, only so much any POTUS can accomplish in a vacuum), but the only thing about him I'm rooting for is that he'll have some sort of epiphany and either resign or kill himself in a fit of remorse. I realize those odds run neck and neck but one can but hope that perhaps the Epiphany will win out in something akin to the weasely way in which he made it into office in the first place...

It depends on the type of info. If it is instructions to an ambassador, sure why not? If it is real time intelligence alerts, maybe not.

Article aludes to this. You can't eliminate the risks but can change the nature of them by choice of methods and channels. Theoretically a courier bearing a message using a one-time pad or other encryption tool would be extremely secure but is also ridiculously unfit for purpose if you care about speed or almost any other metric.

If this were Obama making a statement like this I'd give him benefit of the doubt as a very smart man who has a good grasp on many subjects and could speak at a non-expert level on many including cryptography and secure communications. When it's Trump saying it however I presume he's just blowing smoke out his ass and his knowledge on this topic is poor as his knowledge of other subjects (like when he tried to put money into a communion plate when he went to church).

Wells Fargo could go back to its roots.

Boy oh boy, I like to see what his official apologists and "interpreters" come up with to spin their way around this little gem.

Like I mentioned earlier, there's no use for Trump's supporters trying to reshape his image into something he's not because Trump keeps making bald faced liars out of those who give it a try.

Didn't bother to read the article because what's the point, however I can see why some messages would be sent courier "eyes only" with a one time pad. That would be completely immune from interception and decryption.

For the vast majority of things we need improvement in security, but computers are here and we have to deal with them and their fallout.

Why bother? You'll be BPMing over the next tweet tomorrow.
As is all the attention, infamy and POWER you have granted Trump since Summer 2015.

It is this very insatiable outrage that handed him the Presidency.
One wonders if Democrats will find time to bemoan REAL issues that actually harm people.
If you're just going to sit there pissing yourselves over how horrible he is, I'd say you're doing your damned best to continue abject failure.

I don't see it as the outrage you describe it to be, well, for myself anyway.

All I'm seeing is how Trump says these really curious and funny things and how those folks he surrounds himself with attempt to foolishly explain away these fantastic tidbits of ad libs he pulls out of thin air.

Wouldn't you feel the same if Obama or Hillary came up with these amazing sound bites on a regular basis?

It actually sounds as if you have a conflict coming to grips with your loyalty to Trump and how he embarrasses himself on a daily basis. I mean, I'm not going out of my way to nitpick his every lip quiver and eyebrow twitch.

IOW, I think it's Trump you're having a problem with, and not me or any of those millions of detractors he's managed to build up against him.

Pray tell, explain this concept of loyalty to him as it pertains to me.
My previous post is my complaint that these petty subjects are what filled the air these past two years.
Thereby making him President by drowning out all the real issues in BS.

The Presidential campaign was an abject failure at addressing and highlighting real issues. Trump was not made to comment.
While everyone was crying wolf over grabbing !@#$y, Trump grabbed the nation. Was that subject worth it?
There's a massive gap between the many Trump controversies the media filled the air with, and what people actually care about.

Upon reflecting on your comments, I think I could have more carefully worded my post and I also may have mistakenly assumed from your post that you were defending Trump and his......"unique" peculiarities.

Allow me to re-read the post I previously quoted you on and get back to you on that. I have a sense that an apology from me to you is forthcoming for the lack of consideration your post was due.

Stay tuned.

edit - You're going to have to wait a bit longer as I somehow lost three paragraphs of response to you and I really don't feel like doing that all over again at this time.

In short, Trump's comments are his and his alone and he owns them along with whatever criticism that results from them. Considering the job he is about to acquire, his every word has an immediate effect world-wide. His comments carry the weight of the nation he represents. Therefore, his comments, no matter how inane, creates consternation, worry and suspicion and cannot be trivialized and so easily passed off as would those of Trump the Reality TV host.

Thats the #1 reason I dont get about P&N .. You all scream so very loud at eachother, climb those trees so very very high, so that even IF you encountered an issue you should agree on it would be impossible for you guys to descend and ignore past verbal abuse. You are effectively cornering yourselves with this strategy. Darwin is not impressed.

That is what Putin has done and made it work for him. Of course his goals is probably different from yours. I hope.
