Wow thanks for the link, that's a bit concerning. Not an expert on HSMs, but this does seem like a fairly serious design flaw?

Never really touched one of these HSMs before, what happens if you're using one in production and it dies?

I wish there was more demand for stuff like this at a reasonable price. I've worked from various freelance sites in my spare time asking a similar price, but invariably I'd only see 10% of the business that the $15/hr crowd w

> I would pay $5/night for someone to clean my families dishes after dinner. Why not just use a dishwasher? If you wanted to break it down into a 'cost per night' then maybe rent the appliance or get it on interest free.

People like to jump on bandwagon or the other, but the real answer is - it depends. With Slack, the application itself is probably pretty tough, but for a lot of businesses their infrastructure and connectivity TO Slack (ie internet/WA

Honest question here, does anyone actually want to receive newsletters? I don't think I've ever set foot in the 'Promotions' tab in my Gmail account, other than to delete everything in it.

Well sure GPU computing is huge, and Nvidia is top of the pack in that as well. But the original post was about desktop computing, hence why I only talked to that.

Interesting, seems somewhat similar to a product the Commonwealth Bank (Australia) offers called 'Albert'. Basically just a tablet in a fancy case with various apps to fulfill various POS needs. Also quite a lot more expensive tha

In the last couple of years, I'm surprised how far Azure as come especially in relation to automation/IaC. I remember sitting a basic "build stuff on Azure" course maybe 4-5 years ago and 90% of the course involved sitti

I kind of sympathise with NVIDIA in all this; they've got a very tiny and very vocal market share that behaves very very differently from their main customer base. With Windows users NVIDIA know that they want pretty games and they wan

Sadly, that matches my experience as well. Everything is built with a lifecycle that is closely related to the release date of the next model.

Whether or not it's wrong, I'd say that it's entirely expected unfortunately. It's not particularly surprising if a religious extremist blows himself up in a country with very little capacity to stop him doing so, rampan

How do we abbreviate this? Door unlocking as a service, DUaaS? Seriously though, this leads to so many questions. - Why would anyone give a COMPANY access to their house? And why are people ok with random strangers roaming around their hous

At first it makes a lot of sense, but there's a bunch of reasons why surface vessels are needed: 1. Cost - submarines are a PITA and expensive to build and maintain compared to a 'regular' ship. Also torpedoes are very expens

SUV's are also a fair bit safer for the occupant, especially in side-on collisions at higher speeds where someone in a sedan might end up with a bumper through their temple VS a SUV driver who might just lose a leg.

Didn't work so well for alcohol, drugs, or prostitution unfortunately. But at least I guess it would stop people smoking in public.

IMO, that works incredibly well in Singapore for chewing gum - I think it's about $1000US for a first time gum dropper.
