I don't think anyone can follow him with a known-good device and let him connect to that. The article describes his short-temper and complete unwillingness to sacrifice even a few minutes to take care of security issues.

> Or force wi-fi calling and only let the phone connect to the wi-fi network they bring along everywhere.

You cannot force this President* to do anything that he thinks inconveniences him. You can't "force WiFi calling" without being fired or at least being afraid of it.

The solution here is not a technology fix for the phone of this President. The fix is a new Congress that cares about national security and a new President that cares about national security.

Also,

> One would think that the President's team would...

No, one really wouldn't. The President's team is not concerned with actually fixing this problem. They have made it clear that national security concerns come second to the whims and desires of the President*.

There's no need to insult me to start with. Please abide by the HN guidelines and do not just start insulting people. Let's just talk about all this and get right to the content:

> Running a few ads, with a small budget, or having some fake Twitter accounts post things that millions of others are already saying, in my view does not constitute an "attack on the US election infrastructure".

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm talking about specifically hacking the voting infrastructure and removing voters from the voting rolls. You're going on about ads or something with a small budget (???) but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Here is a citation that Russia directly hacks the elections themselves: https://slate.com/technology/2018/07/russia-election-hacking...

> That would be news indeed. Source?

Oh yeah, that is the biggest news of the last two years. I picked a source and cited it.

> Source?

Well, Heather Heyer was murdered in this fashion.

> constantly gather support to jail people who have committed no crimes

Well Beto for one! Ted Cruz trying to drum up support to jail Beto O'Rourke last night was wild. Scary and sad :(

I think it's pretty clear, with the most charitable possible reading of this article and your comment, that the root cause is not an issue with contacts on his phone.

The root cause is quite clearly a complete lack of respect that Trump has for the American people: He does. not. care. about the country's security or anybody in it.

The root cause isn't some stupid argument about contacts in his phone. The root causes are arrogance [1], hate towards American people [2], and corrupted power [3]. I'll cite these.

[1] He says he is the smartest person in the world and does not need to confer with experts about anything. Why would he need a secure phone then?

[2] He has directly insulted American citizens who care about the national security risks he poses. He uses terrorist-like language to describe Americans. He doesn't care about his phone being hacked.

[3] He acts like he thinks he is King. He acts like there are no rules for him, and the Republican Congress makes that fact true - for now.

This has nothing to do with technology and the solution doesn't have anything to do with technology either.

Pick any tech you like for the President's* phone calls, foreign governments will still listen because he simply doesn't care.

Edit: Also, why was Russia, the country that is actively attacking the US and has been for years, removed from the headline? Seems the most important part. (and don't tell me it doesn't fit, there's plenty of room).

An example might be, improving the parallization in the way a kitchen works can save a restaurant money or enable them to add new menu items.

Or an anti-pattern of checking HN while a build is going, could maybe be turned into a mini-focused-learning-or-relax-time by an app/service.

What else is there, where the main blocker is recognizing the generalizabily of a solution to multiple problems, that could be made to be sold?

In my opinion it has been made clear that doing business honestly and with morals will win in the long run. So yes they would have taken "that high road" because, if you want to be cynical, that is the way to make the most money.

The only thing cynical about your comment is the idea that acting in bad faith is more profitable than acting in good faith. I think that our society, especially the financial part of it, knows that now.

Edit: or you can email me to stay in touch, jacob@allclearweather.com.

WU was also global, while NWS is US-only.

I love the NWS API btw. It's just nowhere near what the WU API was in terms of the promised data returned from API calls. NWS API has always been far superior when it comes to uptime!

From memory, data might return normal json but with "" empty string instead of metric forecast but imperial forecast is there. Or the other way around. Or both empty. Or 0 values for variables that shouldn't be 0. Or error state json with not much info. Things like that.
