That's not it. It requires resources they don't have. It's confusing. Some updates force you to give up on privacy. https://twitter.com/semihenergin/status/863096234596122624 …

Folks, a lot to say about the NSA but the core here isn't about the NSA. The core story here is that patch or be damned is broken, broken.

This isn't right. The patch has been around for months. We have patches around for years. What's broken is patching.https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/863109434054254598 …

I mean, say what you want to say about the NSA or disclosure process. But this is one in which what's broken is the system by which we fix.

If an industry has regular, massive and overwhelming failures involving their product—which threaten lives—need to change how it all works.

All the geek world telling me "they should have patched." I spend tons of time trying to get people to update. But that's not enough.

It's as if there was obscure, hard to grok biomedical paper on e. coli in particular brands of food—and company shrugged if you missed it?

If we had a functioning government or tech industry that had priorities straight, there would be billions poured into figuring out patching.

Do you think software-safety regulations are the way to go? If so, only for certain systems/industries? What would stds require? Audits?
