Approved the zoning (not without much public rancor) but not the taxpayer funding/tax breaks needed to start the project. It will take some kind of city and county vote to approve bonds, etc. I believe.

Yeah that's a lot like the tire reviews @Lempo was referring to . I am on a BBG/cooking forum and this stuff is a running joke.

Definitely a joke.
spent 3 months in Seattle. there isnt a BBQ seen worth mentioning
OKC. ehhhh. There wasnt a ton of BBQ there in 2007-10.
Wichita, ok....... no.
Obviously KC, Memphis, and about 3 places in TX are missing.
Charlotte, really now. I would put ATL before Charlotte for BBQ. Some good BBQ here in ATL but it isnt worldly.
I know there are messing with Newark, Va Beach, Columbus and Miami.
Is there like one good place in each of those towns that are good and so the increased overall ranking is higher?
Or is good Korean BBQ counting and its elevating Seattle?

New Orleans is known for many food things, but barbecue is not one of them.
There are at least a hundred little shitholes in rural Louisiana/Mississippi/Tennessee with superior barbecue to any of those big cities, and I know this because I have eaten at almost all of them. And that was just last week

If they paid the hackers on day one, why the f*** did they even shut it down in the first place? Just do the bitcoin thing and keep on the DL. Now they screwed half the country AND lied to everyone on top of it. Nice.
And this was amateur hour from a hacking perspective, and it brought an entire region to its knees. Wait until a REAL cyberattack comes. We'll be completely screwed. This is why I got a HAM radio license.

since their servers are shutdown and money frozen, I would bet some government agency wanted to go snooping to find their servers first. Then confirmed they had them during the transaction. Immediately attacked and seized post de-encryption key being past.
There is more in play here. Yes the lack of gas sucks but if the company is serious about being a RaaS then they needed to be shut down early. The economy would take an even bigger hit if they hit big companies that manufacture or hold money, etc, etc.
Honestly, each company could spend 1 billion dollars annually on all the cool hardware / software but if someone out there is able to stay ahead of the signature deteection technology then they will be able to exploit some idiot that will click in any email that says "check this out."

As a Charlotte native I'm not trying to run the city down or anything, but it's not even the best among NC's larger cities for BBQ. Let alone ahead of a place like Lexington which is literally put its name on an entire type of BBQ.
That's like saying Paris is the best wine destination in Europe. Falls into the category of knowing just enough about a topic to be dangerous.

I don't know how reliable this info is (because I assume everything coming out of this is heavily heavily filtered, either deliberately or through a game of Unnamed Source Telephone) but the way I understand it is that the solution they received after paying the ransom allowed them to re-start distribution, but not fast enough to address the panic-driven crisis. So even though they shelled out and technically had the solution in hand, they still had to use their own resources to develop workarounds on a much faster timeline than the hackers could deliver.
I heard the same. They essentially paid $5 million to make their PR worse.

Well, if they got serious about Zero Trust, then at least the damage would be mitigated.
But yeah, if you have an employee click on an .exe file then game over man game over.
A company this critical to the infrastructure needs a solid SIEM and SOAR platform and a crew of former .mil types from Cyber Command running it. From what I understand they don't have shit.

If you can't rebuild your infrastructure from scratch/point in time backups, on demand, any day, then you're always going to be vulnerable to this stuff.
Most companies have no idea how to run their IT in any kind of remotely automated fashion. But they gon learn.

The darkside folks ransomware the infrastructure and steal data. They combat the defense of a full back re-initialization by holding their data hostage and threatening to release it if they don’t pay.
of course having some alerts when data leaves the network at a large amount would help stop that / put a security attribute on the data and prevent it from leaving the network.

How is a "Top 10 best BBQ cities" not going to feature any city in Texas? Or even Memphis?

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious
I'm an IT consultant and have worked with a large amount of Fourtune 500 companies. These are almost exclusively internal systems, but IaC is almost non existent, copies of files & folders as source control is often a standard practice. Just getting an admin to install ansible on a server is a pain.

I didn't get to see ECW in it's prime but I heard about him because of the Mass Transit fiasco. He was a legit wild dude and even from the tapes I saw of him, I promise we will never see anyone like him again.

Damn, I didn’t even notice that part. That must be infuriating to people from Memphis, just a slap in the face.

I've never been to a barbecue place in Memphis that I really liked, and I've tried several. Rendezvous was borderline bad, Corky's was OK but nothing special. Tops is alright I guess but it's not a place you'd go if you wanted a nice sit-down meal.
