I don’t seriously have to explain the concept of two wrongs not making a right, do I? Hopefully by the same token, you’re not really confused by the notion of waiting a month before making something public, vs. being told to never release it. It’s possible to be disgusted with large companies treating security as an afterthought, and people pushing a release in 24 hours because of their disclosed financial interest in the outcome. Likewise, I can support your argument that independent researchers aren’t beholden to AMD or Intel, etc, while finding your total lack of espoused ethics disturbing.
- tptacek 9y agoNo, see, I answered your question directly. You can't pretend my followup question was that answer and then play the "2 wrongs" card. Can you please first acknowledge that, then, if possible, actually answer the question I asked?
- Erlangolem 9y agoI didn’t ask you a question, I made a statement about you persistently attacking the strawman of “I can do what I want” when what’s been presented over and over is an ethical argument. You still seem to be (intentionally?) ignoring the difference between permissible, and ethical. You’re free to ignore or reject the ethical dimension of your work, but there is a word for that you can’t talk your way out of: unethical.
