I agree completely. It makes me wonder if other engineering disciplines have this same competency issue.

I’ll say this: I did a small lab in college for a hardware security class and I got a scary email from IT because CrowdStrike noticed there was some program using speculative execution/cache invalidation to leak data on my account - th

I’ve met highly paid “security engineers” that talked about not really being into programming or being okay with python but everything else is too complicated. It shocks me that such a low level of technical competence is required.

Are you saying your first name is actually unpronounceable(I’m thinking similar to Elon Musk’s child’s name) or merely hard for most people in whatever area you’re in to pronounce?

I wouldn’t consider that a conspiracy theory, I would consider it common sense that an intelligence agency has a list of common potential sources of intelligence. In fact it would be extremely surprising if they didn’t have that list.

I think GP was drawing a parallel between Euclid’s fifth axiom of and results like Banach-Tarski since the fifth axiom is independent of the other four, and Bnach-Tarski follows from the Axiom of Choice which is independent of the rest of s

I’d say the author is being so restrictive in the scope of threats that it isn’t very useful. Regardless, even in their very restrictive scenario, it provides defense in depth as I said.

I feel like, much like BMI, patent volume can be used to measure a population. Sure, for any individual‘s fitness or a company’s “innovativeness” they are useless, but in aggregate they can be revealing.
