This. If you charge enough, the spammers become valuable customers. Of course they tend to leave before that point, but you don't really care if they leave or stay; you make money either way. Value for value.

Backside power delivery using through-silicon vias. I'm sure those TSVs connect to a huge array of switching power supplies, so the 24kW doesn't travel very far at such low voltages.

I love this software. It keeps Mullvad from intercepting DNS traffic: if you send cleartext DNS requests on UDP/53 through their network, they intercept it. But DNSCrypt packets are encrypted and authenticated, so they can't. Bon

The sentence before allowed had a bunch of stuff about Ronald Reagan and I wanted to avoid the political aspect. In any event, the whole thing went down and was determined long before Reagan took office. The case was filed under the Ford

"Laundering money" is not, in fact, illegal. From the very same link you posted: only laundering "the proceeds of specified unlawful activity" is illegal. It is totally 100% legal to launder clean money.

Yes, I know about gravity and antimatter. Let me know when those become relevant to microelectronics. And, nonlinear optical media do involve electrons -- that was precisely my point. And that's why those "optical" comput

Electrons interact with each other, photons don't. What magical device do they use to take TWO separate 1-hot encoded optical signals and produce a single 1-hot output? Figure 6 just shows a black box labeled "decoder" which
