      Municipal water systems are similar to electricity in that the supply must dynamically meet the demand within a small range of tolerance. Distributed monitoring of demand allows for better control of supply pressure, reducing strain on the system when demand drops and delivering enough water when everyone is taking their morning shower.

      The company I work for uses their publically known store number for each computer, email address, and a universal code for every physical lock.

      To tell you that I vibrate with frustration at the lack of OpSec is an understatement.
