The Currents of Our Time
summary
Federal IT wastes billions and specific projects show how. National Archives' ERA costs reach $250 million spent on ERA with what looks like a 100 TB ingestion box, no offsite replication, van transport of servers and Lockheed retaining 19 patents on government-funded code. FedFlix hosts 3,900 government videos and outscores Smithsonian channels. FBI Sentinel is a $451 million failure that may cost another billion. Proposals include bulk data standards, a $250M/year decade-long scanning program, and a federal computer commission to reboot systems toward open source and COTS.
