Yes, if you want FIPS 140-2 you are going to pay the big bucks. Yubico's Yubikey 4 has a FIPS certified version so they have been through the process with other products but you are right that their HSM is not certified. If you care

As far as HSMs go the Yubico YubiHSM 2 is the cheapest and most approachable one I've found. [0] I don't have a good feeling for how it compares to some of the other products out there but it is also the only one that has a list

It's not complete snake oil, it does work it just isn't practical. I'd guess those investors were betting that they could over come the issues of practicality.

Seems pretty poor. It has the Minnowboard MAX but none of the recent versions of the minnow board there have been at least two updates since the MAX.

There are really two questions. One is what is a reasonable profit margin for a software distributor. Before there was a app store there was boxed software in brick and mortar stores so there is a reference there. The other issue is that

Do youth typically own property now days? Maybe things have changed since I was young but I was a renter and had few possessions in my youth.

I wonder if speed will still be a reason for doing something like this going forward now that Intel is starting to include SHA acceleration instructions in its processors.

No, because it ends up increasing property values for existing owners.

It sounds like the main source of this story is the owner of the private mercenary company. It seems like he thinks publicizing his teams actions will some how drum up business.

It strikes me that companies and being squeezed from both ends by government. On one hand they are getting lambasted for too much data collection. On the other they are being sued because they don't collect enough data in the case of

Nicer places can charge more. It's just what when push comes to shove people aren't going to move 5 hours away for nice finishes. They will how ever put up with cheap counter tops if it means being 1 block from the metro. The o

Yes, SF is a perfect example where demand so wildly outstrips supply that the dominating driver of cost is space. Whether it is nice space or a total dump is only a small percentage of what dictates the over all price. Look at it this way,

I see people complain about this a lot on Reddit. I personally take the view alluded to in the article that all supply is good supply in that it will drive down average rent in the long term. Calling something 'luxury' is primar

Is there any way to see what information TLO has collected on you similar to how some people search websites let you look yourself up and request removal of your personal information? I couldn't find anything on their site.

You can simulate a single file exe using py2exe and NSIS. That doesn't have the no library limitation.

Would probably hinge on where the information in the story came from. If the story is based on insider information the absolutely it meets the definition of insider trading. If the journalist is simply using publicly available information

I think there are two types of folks. In one camp you have those that retire early because they are wealthy and buy an RV to travel. On the other hand there is a segment that is normal folks who are sick of the rat race or got laid off an

It probably comes down to how common the alleged problem boards are. If these devices only ended up in a small percentages of boards produced it might be very difficult to find a board that even had it.

Yeah, they just instituted that in 2017 because drivers were getting wise.

You realize you have always been able to call a cab in low density areas right? Ride-sharing eliminates the dispatcher. It doesn't change the economics of a taxi service in lower density areas. Those higher costs are shifted to the

Efficiency, to me, means getting the same result for less inputs. This could take the form of a less expensive method for performing some work or a higher utilization of existing time / equipment. A lot of these gig employers aren&#x

Folks who retired at 50 and want to earn a little extra cash occasionally? I doubt most Amazon packages are that heavy.

by pmorici 8y ago
What do you mean by economic efficiency? It seems like the model of a lot of gig jobs encourages the employer to waste the worker's time. This happens because the employer pays per job. For example, Bird and Lime waste workers time b

None of those guys offer the same variety of form factors and features that Super Micro does. If you are an OEM that needs an Intel Xeon-D board in mini-itx form factor for example.

So what is the alternative to SuperMicro if you aren't large enough design your own board?

by pmorici 8y ago
No, the controller runs it's own totally separate OS, has connections to most/all the buses and is able to emulate devices whether you have drivers installed or not.

The article specifically says that the attack goes after the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). In Supermicro equipment this takes the form of a separate SOC made by ASPEED that runs it's own operating system entirely separate fro

If people are interested in digging into how IPMI works every SuperMicro board I've ever seen uses some variety of ASPEED Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). Facebook uses the same chip in their open hardware projects.
