>I think I have differing views on a few points. I'm no expert on NSF.
Fair.
>One of the most confusing things to me is that we don't have a US OS. 50 years into the PC.
We have a gazillion of them.
>As for cross border data-collection, I do think it likely that Congress will steadily reinstate those groups it finds valuable.
My main issue is that if old data is deleted, it's a really retarded idea. A lot of data can't really be understood properly unless you have the whole history of the situation as it evolved over decades. Those hard drives need backups and all. It's not that expensive and honestly should be centralized quite a lot. If NSF's headquarters could be turned into a datacenter, I'd do it and just stuff the place for use as a storage site for data.
>And i worry that private organizations operate too much of our government, including records. For instance, apparently China just bought some number of US Cities' Water Companies? That doesn't ring any alarm bells for a US Officer?
We definitely need to be more protectionist regarding FDI. Private businesses are a concern, but NSF's name is misleading. AFAIK it isn't a quango (which is another can of worms and a major issue) as its name might imply but instead a regular government agency.
>The answer, imo, is that until we rid ourselves of Talmudists who only care about Israel, these are not going to get serious takes by Congress. There's too much money they can steal or pass through to Israel..
Yes.
>But back to and as for all NSF projects, it's likely that some of them are confusing because they keep other nations from guessing what is being done.
Most of this stuff isn't natsec. It's colleges doing the same experiments ogre and ogre again because their citation standards require sources within the last 5 years and the govt pays for it. Then they charge for access to their "research" that our taxes paid them to conduct. "Economic benefits" justify it all.
