IANAL, but this seems like a pretty clear violation of the First Amendment. Even if this bill passes (which, ridiculous bills get proposed all the time and never go anywhere), I can't imagine it standing up to challenges in the courts.

Assuming based on GP that this is in a HPC environment, there is often a delineation between the people writing HPC software and the people maintaining the clusters and the software installed on them. Telling a brand-new graduate student wi

I think you underestimate just how wildly the police will protect their institution in defense of a perceived threat. Joining the force is not the path to change; dissenters in the ranks get punished personally and professionally in defense

Two situations come to mind: 1) Several appliance machines were in a cabinet with water-cooling doors attached. The doors restrict the airflow from the front of the cabinet to the back to the point where there isn't sufficient airflow

Right, but the distinction we're making upthread is not Intel vs AMD, it's consumer CPU vs server CPU. You can get out-of-band management with Xeon motherboards, or with Epyc motherboards, but you're likely not going to get a
