Keeping low performers around isn't great for morale either. Watching parts of your product go down in flames because someone had no idea what they were doing, and then having to do 10x the work to clean it up and do damage control wit

If you have a breakthrough and start factoring RSA numbers and >=1000 bit composites (edit: on a system that costs less than 100 billion $), I would definitely start thinking about OpSec and finding a nice signal free place to crash. Go

My interpretation is that it is a fancy cache using a new type of memory, XPoint, a non-volatile phase change memory, with greater endurance (and cost) than NAND sitting on the M.2 bus, combined with OS drivers to assist with the mapping. T

Well Smith v. Maryland, Third Party Doctrine, etc. holds that a warrant is not needed if you share data willingly with a third party. In this case, you give up your reasonable expectation of privacy. So... If you're sharing with Comcas

In theory, a reasonable hash or CRC _inside_ the OTP stream would prevent tampering. TEMPEST and DPA are other things I didn't consider in our thought experiment, but if I really wanted to be thorough, I would have. (I suspect there&#x
