Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm imagining some dedicated nerd knocking up a dozen women trying to get a blind SQLi.
The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project. Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and Musk associate Peter Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.
So they are planning on relying on an outside surveillance and analytics tech company whose name is taken from the Lord of the Rings orbs that are used by Sauron to spy on Middle Earth. But that's just a fluke coincidence, right?
Corcos has discussed plans for DOGE to build “one new API to rule them all”
Uh... So, yeah, that's just the single most famous line from Sauron himself, about his plan to enslave all of Middle Earth. Funny coincidence. But this is a code update - I'm sure this will be run by reasonable people, bean counters, and not insane partisan zealots.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp said in a February earnings call. “Disruption at the end of the day exposes things that aren't working. There will be ups and downs. This is a revolution, some people are going to get their heads cut off.”
So...umm...
If you don't know much about Palantir... Well, its founder would definitely side with Sauron, too put it lightly.
Considering Peter Thiel’s stated preference for Mordor (Sauron's realm where "the very air is a poisonous fume"), there’s no doubt that he knows exactly what he’s doing,
”Gandalf’s the crazy person who wants to start a war… Mordor is this technological civilization based on reason and science. Outside of Mordor, it’s all sort of mystical and environmental and nothing works.”, Peter Thiel
Corcos has discussed plans for DOGE to build “one new API to rule them all,” making IRS data more easily accessible for cloud platforms, sources say.
this is gonna be great! 🤦♂️
edit: our tax information is now, or soon will be, in the hands of anyone with a large enough crypto wallet or some spare time.
This is it. This is the big one.

Two top DOGE operatives at the IRS, Sam Corcos and Gavin Kliger, are helping to orchestrate the hackathon, sources tell WIRED. Corcos is a health-tech CEO with ties to Musk’s SpaceX. Kliger attended UC Berkeley until 2020 and worked at the AI company Databricks before joining DOGE as a special adviser to the director at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Corcos is also a special adviserto Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Never thought I'd see "Hackathon" used unironically.
It’s a totally normal thing to say in the software world. The same crowd would never be caught dead using the word “cyber” though ;)
Well, yeah, but that's mostly in the more playful hacker kind of way. This is literately just wolf in sheep's clothing.
Is it not common in tech? My job uses it.
Are there any cybersecurity platforms ready to posture as a blue team defense?
Literally where do I sign up. Be happy to out these sloppy fucks.
Both Google and Apple have significant blue-team efforts. What's not transparent is the extent to which they rely on government support to spot APTs.
Google literally just bought wiz. Wiz was developed by Israel.
Holy shit I hate Americans
