People did discover it early on as it's inherent in the design of the chips, it just seemed unlikely at the time. Now Intel has to deal with a huge potential liability if something bad happens because of it. It was just bad business. A

Ironically, a chip company, whom deals in ones and zeros all day long, committed a very serious logical fallacy: appealing to the common practice. One way to interpret the statement is that the chip design which they utilized is widely avai

It's an interesting debate. But it's clear in the statement they provided, that they are laser focused on design above all else. Literally, prioritize proper design over security and maybe even performance in some cases. Which is

" even though a system is operating exactly as it is designed to." So people can leverage the poopy design of your chip to steal compromising information? And it's okay because the chip is functioning as it should? It shows h

Incredible that in this day and age that chip designers do not prioritize performance over security.

Speculative execution seems like something that would be very intuitively insecure even to a layperson(relative to the field of course). I'm wondering, was this vulnerability theorized first and later found out to be an actual vulnerab

Incorrect. Loopholes are the side effect crappily written laws. And in many cases, loopholes are unearthed by an army of high-paid law firms. Unintentionally created, but very intentionally exploited. As these loopholes are closed(again, be

Batten down the hatches. It won't be long before investors try to find ways to triple their returns, scheming and repackaging begins akin to '08. Derivatives and CDO-esque shit. You know your 401k will in some way be underpinned b

As the police become more miltarized, using this militarization against itself is a very strange bug in the system. The innocent people caught in the middle are living proof of the seriousness of the flaw. Like in software though, this bug

There are many products at Target that are simply inferior and more expensive than their alternatives on Amazon. If target could more intelligently replace those inferior and pricier products with their cheaper, Amazon-based alternative, th

It makes sense in a way. Retail is very similar to record companies or the movie industry. They've failed to innovate solely because they got lazy. They took for granted their position in the market. A good position too. I mean, if you

It's crazy to think that someday soon. We will have assembled actors. People that don't actually exist, appear to be human but are CGI, and that the audience prefer over real, living humans.

That seems dangerous akin to ‘08. Crypto in general isn’t being used for much relative to its current hypothetical value. It’s being propped up by a few huge investors. Once those investors have tripled their investment and grown bored spec

I think it'd be an interesting startup idea to decentralized all the monolithic services. Create an Uber for City X(ie Uber for London, Uber for Chicago, etc.). Allow the municipalities to run those services. And do the same for Airbnb
