The NSA is harmless compared to social media and other privacy threats. Without tapped lines WWII wouldn’t have been won. Silicon Valley was founded with that budget. They aren’t 24/7 trying to change your spending habits like social media. And they aren’t stealing your company or reproducing your product at lower cost to make your inventory worthless. Is it concerning? Sure. But so is the speech enabled remote control (which you can drill btw) and phone you use that listen and watch.

My point was that giving others the keys to the kingdom with request handling puts you at risk of using MIM attacks, which people think are overblown, but they aren’t. I read an HN poster recently that was effectively admitting to doing this, by redirecting traffic to their domain from their company then back out again. One environment variable changes on a “secure and tested” Docker image, and you just started giving your data to someone else. Or, change the hosts file to point at some external IP, then anything logging the host/FQDN would seem to show nothing changed. Don’t let this happen. Better yet, just don’t have any data anyone would want. Stream hamster yodeling, because you and your non-differentiatable AWS and Azure IPs are f’d anyway.

RED FLAG.

She should now sweep in to save herself as her own defense attorney, then become the court reporter to ensure the correct story is told, finally accepting the plea for all charges to be dropped while impersonating her judge.

> So the President would never have to bloody his or her hands

You missed the point. The whole argument is that if POTUS had to kill someone, they wouldn’t make the decision to kill many others. “The winning move is not to play,” as Joshua said in War Games (1983). They wouldn’t actually put the president in the situation, it’s just a sanity check thought experiment. Nukes are expensive posturing- the big stick to hold as you speak softly.
