Is there any context here? I know about the new Intel microcode license, but I still don't get it.

- sp332 8y agoIt's a joke about the license. Ad networks will have to block that IP range or risk being in violation! Wouldn't it be nice though if you could convince the ad networks to block you instead of the other way around?
- jannes 8y agoThanks. Reading it in that light, it suddenly makes a lot more sense. I guess I took it more serious, because I assumed that he actually owned that entire IP block. It's probably just the block of his ISP.

- JD557 8y agoIt's a joke. Since you "can't benchmark" the new Intel patch, ad networks would need to block that IP range, therefore OP would never see ads. Ad-blocking at the legal-level.
- 300bps 8y agoIt’s a pretty big netblock he names too. 184.20/16 is an entire Class B and potentially comprises 65,536 public IP addresses.
- nerdponx 8y agoAt first I was hoping this guy was going to try and DDOS an ad network.
- aequitas 8y agoIt still doesn't make sense, how does this guy publishing benchmarks of Ad networks servers, violate their agreement of them not publishing benchmark results?
