Anything that describes itself as a "severe security advisory", but doesn't come with a CVE entry up front is really shady. There's no disclosure timeline. Was AMD ever informed of the "vulnerabilities" and if

They take money from EU clients, in Euros, so they are bound by EU law. GDPR will tighten the net around this sort of business models.

It is. Its elevator pitch is literally "write your website in Ruby". I think it's very silly, especially considering that WebAssembly has just matured, and it's been coming for a looong time. Not to mention it's 10x

I suppose that in the case where the mission itself is critical as well, then indeed it's going to have an atomic clock signal.

You've answered your own implied question. The price of MS Office is still high because it's in a category of its own, with no competition in sight. But all it takes is one well-motivated competitor to achieve feature parity and t

I assume all mission-critical clocks get their tick from a quartz crystal. Clocks running on mains frequency is a very cheap cost cutting measure.

Covert operations are by definition extra-judicial. They knowingly break laws and international agreements and rely on diplomacy to take care of it later. That's not what's happening with offensive action against criminal sites. I

I'm not claiming that just the disclaimer is sufficient to establish jurisdiction. Far from. But courts have a tendency to attempt to take every little detail into regard, even if it weighs very lightly in the presence of other argumen

Ah I see. Still, your statement that extensive lobbying has won is pretty much a blanket statement for any contentious legislation. Both sides will extensively lobby and whichever side wins will be able to attribute it to lobbying. In GMOs

Oh sure they could investigate, I didn't express myself well enough. But they're not going to get much without internal server data. They wouldn't be able to undertake any action against the site, much like American officers

I think you're misinterpreting it. The courts mean that this is an implicit acknowledgement that the contents featured on the Gutenberg website isn't necessarily legal everywhere in the world, and that local laws may apply. If thi

I can't think of a single US-specific website that has a German language option for German-speaking Midwesterners. There probably exist some, but their German language option will be very clearly described for this purpose when this is

By this logic the US has no jurisdiction to act against a child pornography website aimed at Americans, used by Americans, with pictures of American children, as long as the website is hosted in Russia, where child pornography remains legal

Could we for once and for all stop entertaining the ridiculous notion that GMOs are somehow harmful or a thing that should be avoided? Every single argument I've heard against GMOs, so far, has been a form of wilfully ignorant neo-ludd

Oh yeah Cyseal was so much conversation and so little doing. While there's still a lot of dialogue in DOS2, there's a lot less filler now and the balance has done a healthy shift toward action. Writing in general has been tightene

Right now I'm playing Divinity: Original Sin 2, and I cannot help feeling that the timing between this book and the game is just unfortunate. It came out just too late (or the book just too early?) for it to have a worthy entry in and

Do note, this is only a punitive fine. The fine is limited to 4% of annual revenue (afaik), but it is a regulatory acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The fact that this fine is at the near maximum of the limit also cements the idea that this wa

Sure they can. See how quickly Intel, Samsung and Chinese manufacturers jump in to close the gap. Big manufacturers like Apple could also come up with ingenious constructions like licensing Qualcomm IP but making the chips themselves. It wo

Much more likely is that a Chinese manufacturer will rip off Qualcomm's IP for "EU market only" phones. EU phones can still use Qualcomm technology but without them ever seeing a dime for it until they pay their outstanding f

Looks to me like this is something that can be added to the take() function. After all, you're generating the crate yourself with svd2rust. I wonder if these "auto-crates" would be viable for submission to crates.io. This way

The equivalent here would be locking the door at noon while there's people in the building. Why would you need to "nuke the site from orbit" during business hours? What kind of competitor are you protecting against? One that

Someone should push a patch to upstream bash that will make any script longer than 50 lines abort. If you're building something that takes 2500 lines of shell script, you're using the wrong tool for the job. You're trying to
