Youre mistaken. A “rate” is where you are on the E1 - E9 paygrade scale. A “rating” is your assigned job, what you get after A school. A Fireman has a rate of E-1/3. He does not have a rating because he hasn’t been to A school. You can also “strike” for a rating by testing into it, but thats rarer.

There is more history about this confusing system here Note that this is from a .mil site specifically about Navy history. The article is from 2019.

The United States Navy’s enlisted rank and rate system is unique among the armed services. The first point of divergence is the term “rate,” used in the Navy rather than the more-familiar term “rank,” which is reserved for naval officers and warrant officers. The second unique aspect of Navy enlisted rates is the inextricable linkage of rates, which represent a Sailor’s pay grade, and ratings, which denote an occupational specialty. For example, where a notional Sergeant Smith may have a military occupational specialty (MOS) of infantryman in the Army, he would simply be designated Sergeant Smith, both in conversation and on official documents. A Sailor of equivalent rank/rate with a rating of boatswain’s mate would be Boatswain’s Mate Second Class Jones. Thus, the Navy combines rates and ratings in Sailors’ titles.

To complicate matters further, the Navy considers Sailors in the E-1 to E-3 pay grades “nonrated,” meaning they do not yet hold a rating.

Enlisted only have rates, not ranks. It’s a weird navy thing. Enlisted also have “ratings” which is your job, I.e aviation tech, boatswan, etc.

Youre also talking about firemen/seamen/constructionmen/etc. These roles are e-1 to e-3 and have a rate, but not a rating.

In my experience, no one knows the rank/rate distinction and everyone just refers to rank. It’s not something they explain well.

Basically the governors on the board like him, the senate will fight any appointments, and Biden cowed him over the electrical vehicles already, so it was largely a win, somewhat a loss as is.

Initially the new vehicles were going to be like 90% gas, 10% electric. Biden forced him to flip to almost all electric.

No problem mate. Text can be a bit opaque at times, but it’s still a joy to be able to talk to so many people about so many things.

Twitter had something like 500 million users at its peak, and is likely still In the high 300s/low 400s.

Adding 2 million out of the projected 20 million Brazilian twitter users still isn’t it. Twitter is still where the critical mass is, just maybe not for Brazil due to external factors.

Swift didnt say shit to him. He’s just trying to ride her coattails by being a creepy fuck.

Endeavor is owned by Delta, so this is really “large Delta plane collides with a smaller Delta plane.”

The commentator asked if ships had “a scuttlebutt” anymore. Im well aware it’s the term for gossip, but since gossip isn’t an object, I assumed they asking about the drinking fountains.

Ships do still have them.

Hence the officer in the title, yes.

Warrent officers are also generally insanely talented motherfuckers that had too much disdain for the bureaucracy of the military to start over as an 0-1, and instead sit in a weird middle ground of “so much talent they were elevated up to officers from the enlisted ranks by direct request.”

That means that they are right, and you are wrong, and I mean that with complete respect.

Enlisted dont have rank in the navy, just rates. Check the article I posted.

Extra fun is that the head chief never gave anyone else the password. She logged into each of the other chiefs devices.

She could have 100% also typed in the ssid at the time. It would have taken almost no extra effort.

Enlisted dont even have ranks, they have rates. They also have a rating, which refers to your role, I.e the job you do.

Yes, they all have drinking fountains. Absolutely no one at all calls them scuttlebutts though.

Yes and no. The auditing is likely the harder part. You can use something like tailscale or nebula vpn to get the always on vpn/ACLs. With a dozen or two devices, it should be doable at a home scale.

If you want clientless zerotrust then you’re talking heavier duty things like Palo alto gear and the like.

An Anne frank fold out phone would be a hell of an art piece. I think it could give Lisa Frank a run for her money.

They can’t take it off the ballot, as it had way, way more than the required signatures, but they can intimidate every person who signed it into not voting by sending cops to their home.

With Chevron gutted, it needs to be an explicit federal law.

ZeroTrust is a specific type of network security where every network device has its access to other devices validated and controlled, not a statement on the trustworthiness of vendors.

Instead of every device on a LAN seeing every other device, or even every device on a VLAN seeing other devices on a VLAN, each device can only connect with the other devices it needs to work, and those connections need to be encrypted. These connectioms are all monitored, logged and alerted on to make sure the system is working as intended.

You do need to trust or validate the tooling that does the above, regardless of what you’re using.

Requiring new trucks to have AC was apparently the number 1 sticking point in their Unions new contract. Management fought it tooth and nail, but the union got it.

In response, UPS has simply not bought any new trucks in almost a year. Of the 100,000 UPS trucks, the ones with AC count in the “hundreds” by UPS executives own admissions.
