Sure, that's annoying too, but I don't see how it's relevant to the topic at hand. IPv6 isn't some shiny new tech, the original RFC just turned 26. It's also not just a superficial re-write of some existing tool, it

Note for those who only read the headline: the 3x speedup was achieved by removing a call to RDRAND in the extraction path, not the change in hash function.

You still need to provide a separate origin server (i.e. host-of-record) when using Always Online. AO is designed to use IA as a backstop when your origin server goes down.

There's a version of this which has actual played out several times in the US: Many motor racing tracks were built decades ago in what was at the time the middle of nowhere. Over time new developments sprung up around these tracks and

I don't know if you were being rhetorical, but the Fed's motivation doesn't seem like that big of a mystery. They're succumbing to political pressure not to induce a recession or allow asset prices to drop.

A project's mere existence say nothing about how useful it is. Your argument would be a lot more convincing if you just picked one or two projects and showed evidence of their widespread use as something other than a speculative instru

chrisco255's post was a textbook gish gallop. I would not blame anyone here for not bothering to do an item-by-item refutation.

Yeah, the tone of these talks is kind of weird. They talk about how "we decided to do foo" when the reality is "we updated to the latest tech from our upstream providers which got us foo".

That's precisely the point I was trying to make in my OP. In theory freedom of association affords one the ability to form a union in any manner they please, but a union which does not conform to the requirements of the NLRA is not ent

Employees are free to form unions under the freedom of association, but employers are likewise free to fire those employees. These votes are all about forming a union under the rules established by the National Labor Relations Act ("NL

Not AFAIK. There are contrived PoCs of browser based Specter exploits, but no practical examples have been discovered.

You don't need a crystal ball to see where this goes. Several European countries have labor policies which set a high floor on the cost of labor compared to the US. What you see there is pretty much what you would expect: Fast food res

That's pretty much what they are. Hard drives are binned based on the yield of each production run. Server drives get the best lots, then tier one OEMs, etc. External drives are the lowest bin before the trash bin.

Just because the SKU is fairly recent doesn't mean the tech inside is. That 9880H is using Skylake cores which first hit the market in 2015 and is fabricated using a refined version of the 14 nm process which first used for Broadwell i

Technology advanced extremely quickly from the 40s to the 70s. Much of what was built in that time became obsolete soon after it was completed.

Yes, bittorrent is a much better example of a scalable decentralized system. The problem with bittorrent is that no one has come up with a good way to monetize it. What makes bitcoin exceptional among decentralized systems is not its scalab

The web as a whole is decentralized, but the HTTP URL scheme can only reference assets through a single authoritative hostname (or IP address). Thus the ability to retrieve a particular asset is always beholden to a single, privledged entit

In theory Intel could use profits from Xeons to subsidize consumer chips, but I doubt they actually are. In practice you only see that happen in highly competitive commodity markets where the profit margin on consumer grade models is razor

Sort of. As the saying goes: the dose makes the poison. The article itself presents a quote stating that the low level of lead exposure caused by TEL in gasoline was thought to be safe at the time.

My experience with Freenode/Libra Chat is that they either don't implement geo DNS or don't do a very good job of it. I'm on the US west coast and lookups to irc.libera.chat often return servers in Europe. Edit: Double c

Cloudflare's edge network is sufficiently dense that ECS data is unnecessary in almost all cases. The requesting data center will be close enough to the client that doing geoip on the source IP will have the same results as using ECS.

Oddly enough, some of the smallest Android phones released in the last couple of years have headphone jacks, e.g.: Galaxy S10e and Pixel 4a.

Please no. The last thing we need is another bunch of half-baked regulations passed because a bunch of people who don't know what they're talking about demanded "something must be done!" in response to some temporary cri

Large dial-up ISPs had huge lists of numbers you could use to dial in with so that you could pick the one which was local to you. I'm not sure how this worked on the provider side, but customers pretty much never payed by-the-minute fe

The Miata is an outlier. Mazda went to great lengths to keep the car's weight down since being light weight is a big part of the car's appeal. The extra development cost and tradeoffs wouldn't make sense for the typical sedan

I agree with violence, it is perhaps the one true natural monopoly, but the rest of the items on that list are very much up for debate.

What would a good solution to that even look like? Giving every mid-sized company it's own PI block would massively bloat the routing table so that's not going to happen. The solution space that's left basically comes down to
