With an incredibly low chance of being caught? Many people. Factor in that the initial ask is often something that seems relatively victimless, or at least, not hurtful to any specific person, and ethical flexibility is even easier to com

IIRC the Alpha did that as well but due to instruction pipelining it was more complicated in practice. I want to say it was used on some SCADA software but that's an ancient memory -- and it wasn't even everywhere in that software

Highly doubtful. The last decade or so of CCP direction has been to control and punish the huge outflow of capital by rich Chinese into various western asset pools (like US and Canadian real estate) that are outside the party's reach.

The data should eventually become public. And regardless of if DHS is hacked (and lets be honest this is probably going to be kept in Excel somewhere), advanced actors like state-sponsored groups already know who they're hacking and al

It's not as huge as all that, most of Europe is already similarly synchronized and Ukrenergo was already running at 50 Hz. The longer term concern is communication and coordination between the RTOs in Europe and Ukraine, as Ukraine mus

Not to single you out, but so many responses are trying to offer some single factor that is suddenly making this worse when most of them are long term trends that should apply to other places this isn't happening. So while driver'

Solar and wind and hydro and nuclear aren't carbon neutral though, they're zero carbon (again excluding external costs of production, etc). With carbon-neutral the amount of biosphere C stays constant, with carbon zero is may pote

Every major regional ISO does in North America and most of the ones in the equivalent market organizations in Europe do as well. The historian data this uses was made easily publishable about 8 years or so ago and you can get quite detailed

Biosphere carbon is carbon neutral. If you grow a tree, pulp the tree, and burn the tree, the amount of overall carbon available has not changed as the process of growing new trees will reuse the same carbon. Ignoring external energy costs,

Chromebooks and Mac Airs are still better for actual travel use just due to size and power draw (airplane sockets are typically only good for about 180W before they trip. Varies by plane a bit, only one I've seen meaningfully higher wa

I hope so, because I irrationally decided I didn't like it versus Objective-C a long time ago and I can't wait to be vindicated :) But even if it is doomed, given inertia it will still be a mainstay of HPC and such long after Rust

From my understanding, Boeing's radars will receive a much wider band than Airbus', combined with most other countries allocating 5G spectrum further away from the expected radar frequencies. They could switch but it would involve

I spent years without a TV at all and haven't watched any sort of broadcast or cable regularly since like 2004. As a result, I have a few distinct memories of "news events" that persist like visits to a carnival of madmen. Th

Buzzfeed is hardly the pioneer. Cable TV news has been doing it since the 1980s with constant "shocker!" bait segments and constant bullshitting between talking heads who make any banal thing they feel like sound like a impending

If you haven't been preparing for state-level attacks from Russia and PRC backed groups, you're already way, way behind the curve. Case in point, in the Ukrainian blackout attack of 2014, a highly capable group had access and effe

Mikrotik is probably the better general choice for consumer-ish pricing. Personally I would recommend something like a CRS326-24G-2S+RM (which is a switch but running RouterOS) or similar scaled to your needs. Router has had no problem push

It was fixing (or trying to) issues with the v4 spec that were now very apparent. For example, ipv4 technically has a link-local address space but barely anything will use it and even less will successfully. Many other 80/90s protocols
