"We have an alternate implementation / mitigation" gets you passed the hangup, for folks who need the magic words for 'thats dumb. we do it right'.

Is this an ad for Leonardo? 'Greg would only speak to BBC under a pseudonym'...really? There are many professional, military-or-adjacent red team folks who'd gladly speak to BBC with real names and credentials...

To be fair, DO was muuuch sketchier in the past (eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6983097 ). Launching any multitenant system is HARD. Many of them are held together with bubble gum and good intentions….

Was the Bell Labs Systems Journal shared outside of Bell Labs contemporaneously? I have original copies of the Unix issue, for example, but have no idea if that was 'generally available' back when it came out...

Microsoft has never had a cohesive story, they've had a cohesive brand. From 'Windows' to '.NET' to 'Azure' to 'CoPilot', it's always been about slamming the new buzzword trademark onto eve

Off topic to the thread and your point, but are you confusing GNU with the Compaq BIOS reverse engineer and reimplementation? I hadn't heard this story about GNU (and what kernel)?

I think it's a lot of both. Like fighter jets - they're very, very hard to fly and also expensive to build and maintain.

These are not those kinds of factories, and it's not 'easy' to train for. And Americans are surely WILLING to do the work, but have no idea how. If it was so goddamned easy to build a chip fab, they'd be all over the pl

Most superhighways move at 1-5mph due to traffic congestion... so it's still valid :)

GP just posted a table showing there is more iron in non-meat sources than in meat sources. Iron is not an issue for any vegan I know. Spinach, beans, kale, etc are all super loaded with it.

Cosmetic in what sense? Planning everything in advance, vs iterative, incremental delivery are pretty different ways to do things.

Show me an ostensibly high performing software organization that uses SAFe? Any FANGs? I only ever see it in pathologic orgs. And 3 months, lol. Let me introduce you to the federal govt!

Agile, as practiced in many large organizations with whom it is fading in popularity is practiced in the form of 'Scaled Agile Framework' - https://scaledagile.com/what-is-safe/ It takes all of the flexibilit

SAFe is an atrocity. I bet most of these 'large enterprises' are doing something similar. Plan your sprints a full 2 years in advance! No changes, gotta stick to the plan, because it's in the sprint! But we do standups!

At least in a bunch of the defense agencies, books close for new stuff mid-August. The Aug-Oct timeframe is used to finish executing already in-flight stuff. And if you miss the 10/1 deadline, you're waiting at least until Feb (

A business pays no tax on an OpEx. The specific tax on a CapEx depends on the jurisdiction.

In some cases (e.g. a building or expensive equipment purchase, probably yes, property taxes in most jurisdictions, at least in the US). The depreciation is deducted from income for income taxes over time, rather than all at time of purch

The CapEx -> OpEx push is also heavily tax based. I can write off (generally) 100% of an OpEx expense today (or, as I spend the money). CapEx expenses become Assets, which are tracked and taxed , and the business doesn't get to w

You redefined cost / profit center as 'primary' or 'support'. This is a circular argument.

We have small, usable quantum computers and have grown them for years. We have never had fusion power on a small scale (we have had fusion ignition/reaction, but never [afaik] generated usable power), let alone showed continuous growth

Except, you're assuming extreme competence here, when, if govt and hospital IT systems are to be any indicator, it's the exact opposite position.

'if you don't need all the things that make this expensive, its way cheaper' is kind of a redundant, right?

Sure they can, they just have to make the code available that is in what they deploy.
