Considering the Oct 7 attack it seems pretty wise of Israel to have not allowed Hamas a more advanced military. It is the professed goal of their government to eliminate Israel.

Yeah for all the possible criticism of Google he's seriously arguing it's that there's too much speculative R&D? Generally companies become irrelevant by trying to hold onto their cash cow and not trying to reinvent &#x2F

If I were considering blowing the whistle on some behavior at Boeing I'd sure think twice now that two people have died. It may be that their testimony was complete but there's still a chilling effect on future whistleblowers.

As the US is pushed out, who takes our place? Russia, China, and autocratic regimes. We're witnessing a shift in the global world order.

I find you can get a good idea of what's going on from reading between the lines of Wyden's statements. As a member of the intelligence committee he cannot directly disclose the operational details, but you can look at where he&#x

This was not my first programming job and I didn't mean to imply stupidity. Maybe you could give some examples? I had seen it in some contexts: distcc, networking, seti@home. At least to me it didn't seem as common a tactic as try

This reads as though they had taken issue with some of the movement away from traditional relational databases in that era. I know it's been retracted, so who knows what the authors opinions are today, but the eureka moment to me was i

Each of those connections needs its own TCP and TLS handshake making a total of 6 trips. Also, although this didn't take off, h2 had push promise which could have been a big help.

Are you saying there's ddos potential because UDP itself doesn't have a connection handshake? There's still one on top of UDP. The initial packet could be forged, but so could one from TCP (a SYN flood).

I knew a team lead for one of Boeing's machinist groups in Seattle. They were a blue collar bunch and not college educated engineers. He wanted to have pride in their work but was constantly frustrated with their management and told me

More than that, they need to clone a website and enter a date in the past. Then they need to fill out a form using DMCA sworn statement language. The must know what they're doing is illegal. That's not much of a deterrent when the

Can a company seriously start charging for features that were already paid for? If I buy Photoshop, can they suddenly decide I need to pay extra to keep using the color green?

My lens on this is colored through my own big company experience, but I've found it is the bad manager in this scenario who would be promoted. After all, they're managing such a large org - they have to be promoted.

They don't like the encounter rates. It definitely got annoying at times, but the encounters and leveling up have been part and parcel for this genre of RPGs. Personally I'm the delayed gratification type where I'll level up

Just making the deal compelling enough is what seemed to work. Israel is giving 3 militants back to Hamas for every 1 civilian hostage.

It's amazing but is it real intelligence? I listened to a radio segment last week where the hosts were lamenting that Europe was able to pass AI regulation but the US Congress was far from doing so. The fear and hype is fueling reactio

This is a particular implementation of the QUIC protocol (which is now fixed). Do you think there haven't been vulnerabilities against TCP? Certainly TCP is battle-hardened, but QUIC will get there too.

Youtube will fall back to TCP. If the bandwidth utilization actually did drop it's probably because the stream quality throttled down. What do you mean by "QUIC vulnerabilities are a 3 or 4 packet compromise"?
