I think the most ridiculous example was the one where they advocated for "privileged students" (ie: white men) to sit on the floor chained in classes and not be allowed to speak, so that they can "experience reparations"

Unless you don't consider "Gender, Place & Culture" an actual academic journal, it did happen: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0966369X.2018.14... https://en.wikipedi

Why wouldn't the US gov show one of the infected motherboards? It seems like it would be perfect proof that China is engaged in aggressive hacking. The story is in the open now. If it's true, China knows that we know. So what else

There would be no blow. China (or the NSA) hacking into something is non-news. Everybody expects that, especially since Snowden. It's their job, and the news would be them failing to do it.

Recalling the recent "how to smell BS papers" article, this doesn't pass the grandma test. More specifically, you would imagine that if such a simple hack existed, we would be well aware of it in 500 years of printed press.

It is a sequitur in the sense that a few open-hardware motherboard designs will not be commercially successful.

Have you read the article? Apparently one of the big factors in Supermicro success is that it has over 900 different motherboard designs, and hundreds of hardware specialists which can customize them further to client wishes.

Depends how you think about it. What if you ran Conway's Life simulation, and suddenly on you screen appear cells ordered in the form of text messages like "Hi, I am aware that this is a simulation, I want to talk with the entitie

It's not a trivial task - think about how hard it is to detect computer viruses in a computer. Then we also know that homomorphic encryption is possible in principle, where from the outside it's thought to be impossible to figure

> Further, simulating atoms requires more atoms. In other words there are impossible problems Our universe has 10^70 atoms (or whatever). This is an arbitrary number. Maybe in the host universe there are 10^700000000 atoms, and 10^70 ato

They allege 30 companies were compromised with implanted Supermicro servers. Surely one of them could show the world/researchers an infected motherboard?

You didn't called it out as being p-hacked. You called it out as not being possible in principle, that we will never be able to predict skills/whatever from a brain scan.

This is richly ironic. I had to check that this was not an article from The Onion. Will this tool bypass the censored Google that will be introduced in China? More likely it will automatically report the user to the Chinese government if us

The stock is down a measly 1.5%. Nobody gives a fuck. Compare with TSLA Musk SEC investigation which caused a 10% plunge. A misleading tweet is considered much more dangerous by the market than a 50 mil account breach. Investors know there

Why do you think programmers of all people are heavily migrating to Electron based editors like VS Code? Because they like using slow and bloated apps? And I'm not talking only of web programmers, I know plenty of C++ programmers who m

People who do crypto mining use consumer GPUs, and run them 24/7. You would imagine if it was cheaper overall to buy the datacenter edition they would. But they don't.
