Yup, Raptor Blackbird. I'd send along my notes if I didn't think they'd be more misleading than helpful. Left that one in a mess that'd be difficult to untangle, but I remember the trail basically ending in a file that w

Nope, the system would instantly panic - presumably in order to protect data integrity... imagine the damage possible otherwise. It was actually a fairly ponderous debugging effort, as I remember it, because it was occurring on an already s

Unless they fixed it, another edge case is a change in processor endianness. I started working on a patch a long time ago, but it necessitated changes to code that had remained unchanged since the original release... not a blamelog I'm

This coupled with expectations of corporate "social responsibility" results in some pretty nightmarish possibilities. Politically motivated debanking has already been going on for a while, but that is really just the tip of the ic

So in your world there are no seatbelt laws and people are free to drink raw milk? Must be nice.

Yeah, so murder by... bullying? Guilt tripping? The shamelessness of the lying is impressive.

There is no end to such a line of logic though, except that they can demand anything they want - so long as it can be argued to decrease productivity. You really want that? That maternity leave... I wonder how much work gets done.

The fact that anyone would think it is the responsibility of employers to force others to do anything... just amazing. You know that there is a system already in place to do that, right? It is even designed to guard against abuses that busi

It certainly does matter, it drastically shifts who (or what) determines "you don't deserve it."

Who is this "someone" you're talking about, Mother Gaia? Reframing justice from a humancentric perspective to one more in line with the natural state is something that would immediately yield very entertaining results, as the

Consider it from the perspective of the people who advocated for the hollowing out of industry, the "managed decline" crowd. It sure would be nice to hear an admission of, at best, shortsightedness... If only somebody had warned u

Close. If they just ghosted the client it would have been bad for that client (a managed group buy, from what I remember), but word would have spread quickly and the most they'd have had to show for it was a single revision zero ASIC f

Funnier still is the fact that the network's aggregate hashing power can easily be calculated by anyone logging the rate and difficulty of solved blocks, and that anyone would still bother trying to lie. But then the whole Craig Wright

lol, gee - wonder how that happened? There have been a few non-Chinese sourced chips decapped that predate the Chinese offerings, but as soon as some idiot uploaded his design to a Chinese fab in an attempt to undercut the competition...

I remember when bitcoin miners were transitioning from FPGA to ASIC... I nearly threw out my back from laughter when the Chinese deceitfully copied the masks with abandon, while also delaying fulfillment with longer and longer burn in tests

The most recent example of a "soft recall" would be Gigabyte's exploding PSUs. It makes you wonder how much retail outlets knew, because it is clear that Gigabyte was fully aware of the issue - and silently fixed their design

The inflationary coin was tried more than once. I remember one that wasn't content with infinitely expanding the monetary base - it would delete balances at random, watching people try to defend the idea was hilarious.

That is one of the more honest admissions I seen. Like I said, I've been around long enough to have seen it occur in real time - and I regularly argued with people in the early years... I almost miss the beany baby comparisons. The maj
