And they don't give you the street name until your 3 miles or less. Its the dumbest thing ever. The numbers are so small on the actual exits and if your in HOV lane it doesn't say exit for exit # 118. It says exit for sunset blvd.

"In FY 2019 there was a 4.2% increase in the number of security clearances, for a total number of 4.2 million individuals with eligibility to access classified information."[0]

This "they need people with clearences" talk is laughable. This is purely lobbying which every government contractor does. They also scooped up 4 former state CIOs. They are playing the game and quite well. This does need to be cleaned up. A company recently won a $500 million DOD contract and months later the women on the government side is now the company CEO.

So if they don't want the union why didn't they a pull a Walmart and close the warehouse as not profitable?

Maybe it's just me but I feel like an agency like the IRS should go the PACER route and (re)build core systems in-house.

> competitor insurance companies share data about customers with fraudulent claims

I'm pretty sure it's any claim. If you want to see something scary request your lexis nexus consumer report.

> I'm wary about GCP because Google hasn't issued any kind of promissory statement that GCP won't end up on the [Google Graveyard]

Snapchat paying them $400 MILLION per year takes care of this issue. That's 1 company. A few jaw dropping others have popped up in S-1 filings.

A few years ago this was attempted but as a paid Twitter. I dont think its around anymore.

As far as ads go I personally like the search ones. If I'm searching for BMW car service I want the local shop targeting me not 10 pages of dealers. With that said I wouldn't mind seeing search competition.

The exact headline is 6 characters too long

I thought it was Venezuela?

> The CDC believed VAMS required GovConnect, which is Deloitte’s propriety platform.

Guaranteed someone in that decision chain is a Deloitte partner in the next year.

These guys are absolutely amazing:

They've had a year to prepare.

Kinda proves the point of folks who say none of this is about saving lives.

Tourists have been banned since March I believe.

This was international arrivals at LAX August 11 (the worlds third busiest airport):

Yet many schools in the US are still closed.

I posted a few weeks ago - someone in Kentucky is trying to make it a felony to post such information.

I live on a small street and had 3 amazon vans delivering at the same time right before Christmas. Up the street they also park big shipping containers (right on a residential street in front of houses) that the usps delivers packages out of. This is 1 community. Their size is insane.

It wasn't even across the street. Same parking lot. The city or county attempted to justify it by saying film production staff are tested regularly (can't make this up!)

Or you can just use a regular colo company and not even think about batteries, generators, buildings, security. Hell they'll even rack your gear for you.

Just read through everything. This isn't just a wired RFP... its supercharged.

From Q&A:

> Answer: The provider of the information would need to have approvals to provide the information to DEA and provide it without additional costs or approvals from the original data provider. We would need it to be able to be analyzed outside of the host environment so that we could take the results of the query and create our own reports and dashboards and provide it to the necessary individuals in the field who could use the data for investigative purposes.

So... this information is required to be provided to the DEA by law... but apparently some 3rd party entity is receiving it (I'll bet this is for LexisNexus) with apparently no restrictions on how its used and now the DEA is going to pay a stupid amount of money so they can do whatever shady shit they have planned.

I'm guessing its programs like these which make some Senators completely ignore experts on the whole backdoor into encryption thing. They don't know the difference they just see results from the NSA.

> Crypto’s international business was purchased by a Swedish entrepreneur, Andreas Linde, who said in an email exchange with The Post earlier this year that he was not aware of the CIA’s ownership when he purchased the assets. Export controls imposed by Swiss authorities in the aftermath of public disclosures about Crypto earlier this year have threatened the company’s survival.

If Andreas Linde is not a cover that's pretty fucked up. They couldn't have just run the "business" into the ground?

Netflix and YT are hands down the best money I spend each month. I was a little annoyed they made me switch from play to yt music but that's grown on me now too.

"Furthermore, our proprietary measure of obligated dollars year-to-date"

How is running a search through a free government database/website proprietary?

I also can't find a single mention of Office which is a "cloud" monster itself.

This has to be the biggest pile of garbage I have ever read.

No doubt the guy is probably not a saint but the article starts with the site being worth "between $810m and $936m." and ends with him pivoting into drug smuggling? according to "xoxgoldenfox"?

Visa is absolutely a master entity that dictates nearly everything including consumer credit reporting requirements and minimum credit lines. They publish an 886 page "public" version which is actually kind of an interesting read:

A quick Google search for GPU dedicated server is probably going to save you tens of thousands of dollars a year.

> After long research, his team of 120 counterintelligence officers hadn’t been able to find a single person, among the thousands of American agents and secret sources in Afghanistan and Iraq, who could be shown to have died because of the disclosures.

Sounds like the NSA who couldn't point to a single instance of stopping any type of terrorist attack/operation despite collecting anything they could get their hands on.
