How often does a bug of this severity slip through the net?

Don't be boring. The nice thing about asking on hacker news is you get answers from experts, and you can often get insider knowledge that really isn't available anywhere on google. But thanks for the link, it's a good one ;)

Curious if anyone knows how the kernel is tested?

Could someone explain what Management Engine is actually used for? It’s still not really clear to me why it needs to exist at all. Serious question.

Unreal. Kept scrolling and the vulnerabilities kept coming. Most annoying thing is that there isn’t even a real alternative. If I understand it right then AMD chips have pretty much the same thing?

It's really hard to tell if this product is any good: - There is no way to try out the product before actually buying it. - There are no examples of existing profiles to check out.

Quoting directly from the buzzfeed aerticle: > In a series of interviews, six men with direct knowledge of Draper, now 74, described him as habitually meeting young, often teenage men at conferences between 1999 and 2007, touting “energ

You might find it quite instructive to read up on the legal definitions of sexual assault and sexual harassment. It's also important to consider what consent actually is. Just because someone doesn't say no doesn't necessaril

> we could wish him well and let bygones be bygones? Well it can sometimes be hard to reconcile the person you know and like with the bad things they have done, it would appear that he systematically assaulted a very large number of yo

OK clear now. Thin clients can only verify that a given transaction exists on the chain, but are not able to verify the contents of the transaction itself. Thanks for the links :)

What are the technical reasons that mean bitcoin has such a long time between blocks? Other large chains (Ethereum, Litecoin) have significantly lower confirmation times.

Why would a full node be more secure than an SPV node? I had understood that SPV nodes store only the merkle root of all the transactions in each block, so as I understand it should be able to verify whether a given transaction is valid or

I don't think anyone is claiming that, it does however seem quite likely that it will have less.

Yet I don't see people claiming it's the fault of C++ A major driving force behind the development of Rust is that exact claim.

I still don't really understand why people were so against a block size increase. I get that there are centralisation risks if the block size increases too much, but it doesn't really seem as though increasing to 2mb really make s

Emotion shapes perception. How a customer feels about a brand will have a very real impact on their experience with a product.

Unique technology is absolutely not a requirement to build and ship useful and impactful product.

Do you genuinely believe that building a brand with that kind of power is "trivial"?

Yeah that was a bit much. Shouldn’t post before I’ve had my coffee.
