Quotation marks [0]. Because I wasn't trying to express my own opinion about the newsworthiness of reporting on SWATting incidents that result in deaths compared to those which don't. So I quoted the term used most often with rega

by buran77 5y ago
The news popularized SWATting as a something that in the US leads to the target's death, because those cases are more "newsworthy". There are probably many more cases that end up with no deaths or injuries but still a lot of

Old-school techniques were hard to pull off even by trained spies with a proper (and vast) support network, let alone by journalists and John Rando who have never met. If you're on a watch list that gets your phone flagged for malware

I imagine you also send your best not worst engineers for a bid or demo. For the rest, as I said it's just far more extensive in IT than in other fields. There will be exceptions. And being able to scale on demand is a big part of prov

In theory all is fine. The problem is the A-team shows they have the skill, not the capacity. So in practice you'll never see that A-team again because that's not their job.

Every company brings the A-team to win the bid for a contract. Later they'll gradually switch them out with the much cheaper juniors they hire for that particular project. With IT consulting or MSPs this tends to be a far more extens

A popularly elected representative who does not represent has failed their mandate. The "contract" of democracy is (at least morally) "vote for representation". Without the representation that person is no more entitled

Determining how much is in use out of what is practically available is relatively easy. But determining what is 100% is still difficult to decide on, CPUs have too many frequency options to decide what the "real" 100% point is. Ev

by buran77 5y ago
The CPU may not be able to scale up the frequency to "100%" at that time due to factors that cannot be overridden, like a high-temp situation. The problem is what is 100% when CPUs have gotten so complex around the frequency. What
