Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,” Yen wrote in the channel at the end of August. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”

In a follow-up message, Yen reiterated his point: “only losers think like that.” His ultimate message for the team was to “stop lovingly handcrafting all our code and use AI more.”

This sounds like the most insecure loser statement I’ve ever heard. Andy Yen and the rest of the Proton Execs seem to have fully bought into the man-o-sphere in the same way that every basement incel has.

But how does a control system like that fail?

It seems like a pretty simple system, and one that wouldn’t be very expensive to harden/have redundancy/battery back up/etc.

When I say “Republicans” I’m not just talking about politicians. Republican voters have all chosen to support pedophilia, rape, and blatant corrupion.

It’s actually not even clear what other policies Republican voters support. It’s not small government, fiscal responsibility, family values, or law and order. As far as I can tell, they’re only the party of pedophiles.

Can anyone explain to me how this is not the easiest transportation crash in the world to prevent?

Presumably every train knows what track it’s on and what direction it’s going, and presumably that data is being transmitted to some central authority.

Why have a system that even allows 2 trains to be on a collision course within a hundred miles of each other? No human operator should be able to choose to override command.

This won’t change a thing. Republicans know Trump rapes kids, they’ve decided that it’s not a deal breaker.

He’s been convicted of threatening a public official, impersonating police and sexually assaulting a minor, then violating the sex offender registration laws. Now, he’s facing his first federal charge after the FBI said he admitted sending threatening envelopes to four Illinois members of Congress, including northwest suburban Democrat Brad Schneider.

The usual suspect.

This is making the opposite point. Capitalism should stop this, banks and homeowners should be the ones suing over this instead of the states.

These fraudulent risk assessments should theoretically be putting massive investments at huge risk, but no one cares because in the end they know they’ll get bailed out by the insurer of last resort (the state).
