MAGAs condemning FEMA for running out of funds this Hurricane season, and blaming immigrants, should know:
1. This has happened now two years in a row
2. GOP led House controls FEMA spending & budgeting

FEMA is short on funds because House MAGAs don't believe in climate change & don't know how to budget. Stop blaming immigrants for your own incompetence. So much for "party of personal responsibility."

Savor every word.

Effective obfuscation

Silicon Valley's "effective altruism" and "effective accelerationism" only give a thin philosophical veneer to the industry's same old impulses.

Given everything we observe with products security, we should realize that markets value time-to-market and more features. Security is desired but not the sole factor to choose a product over another. InfoSec will always be busy due to this market reality.
