I was lurking in 1998. Used to avidly read the Alamo Girl files on Clinton—it was a different place then—more friendly and intelligent discussions.
Now it’s so much flippant crap trying to be the next comedy relief I guess or worse just being rude jerks. It’s why I stick mostly to this thread, garden thread, or Trump Train.
INTERESTING LINKS to this guy’s jobs-Not sure if this leads anywhere or not—so many webs.
The U.S. Department of Justice charged Joseph Sullivan, 52, with felony obstruction of justice, saying he took “deliberate steps” to keep the Federal Trade Commission from learning about the hack while the agency was monitoring Uber security in the wake of an earlier breach.
The case was believed to be first time a corporate information security officer has been charged with concealing a hack.
Sullivan, himself a former federal prosecutor, arranged to pay the hackers $100,000 under Uber’s program for rewarding security researchers who report flaws. That amount was by far the most Uber had paid through the bounty program, which was not meant to cover theft of sensitive data.
A former chief of security at Facebook, Sullivan now works as chief information security officer at Cloudflare.

I noticed the change too. Not as interesting or congenial or informative as before. I wonder if it could be the Twitter effect. Twitter lends itself to brief comments and people tend to be jerks saying nothing but cutting down what they don’t like.
