No knowledge (insider or otherwise) is needed — could just be a bet, hedged against all the other bets a company AMD's size makes.

It's about propping up the yen in foreign exchange terms, so the essential operation is buying yen with dollars to increase the price of the former in a standard microeconomics way…

That's the license they sign with you, ie the legal commitment they make and powers they reserve. Policy is the internal, non-binding decision they make about how they exercise tho…

Your second paragraph describes the approach in the blog post almost exactly.

The recruiters who make these boneheaded mistakes are typically organizationally separate from the actual engineering group you'd be working in.

Clock bias. Because the clocks internal to GNSS receivers are not that accurate, if they're not at the "targeted" location they'll see that all satellites are off by a given time o…

"regardless of how much they spend" is not a statement that you can put in a business plan

Absolutely not

Yes - delay SYNs until an authenticated reverse lookup confirmed the IP was owned by a trusted domain. With caching to reduce common-case latency, which would otherwise be intolera…

It was a somewhat flippant (given that GitHub doesn't implement DNSSEC either ) dig at the idea of using hand-entered/hand-updated IP addresses for access control, rather than havi…

> You don't exactly need a translation layer. If they just gave me 1.1.1.1:: in v6, anyone migrating v4 to v6 would have the same route to me as before, and other changes like DNS6…

IPv4 addresses are in fact a subspace of IPv6 (that's NAT64). They were not by fiat declared invalid. The actual thing I think you're complaining about - the necessity for NAT64 at…

The problem has nothing to do with over engineering, or really anything to do with the actual contents of the IPv6 standard. It is just devilishly hard to make any backwards-incomp…

> providers don't have an easy way to correlate addresses Yes, they do. It's called DNSSEC.

Assuming you're both referring to the events of 19 March, they did not eject from the F-35. I know of no event during this war where an F-35 crew ejected.

EU countries spend about 2% of GDP on their militaries. It's not at the high US levels, but it's closer to Iran's number than it is to zero.

Commander-In-Chief is not a career military post, it is an elected politician. Your barefaced assertion that he would have professional-level knowledge is resting on one an array o…

About 4% of the federal budget and 6% of discretionary spending at its peak, not of GDP. Still a very high number, but nowhere near the military-budget-levels you're talking about.…

The Nigerian type scams typically prey on greed; time pressure isn't part of the draw. There's another class of scams where the draw is fear - "your son is in jail", "your bank acc…

It gives preferential treatment to Jews regardless of their religious practice or lack thereof. Its self-definition as a "Jewish state" is deliberately vague about its definition o…

The claim was that all religious Jews believe this. The motte-and-bailey is unseemly.

The Paris Agreement included an explicit clause allowing parties to exit it after giving notice of withdrawal. It did not go out of effect immediately on Trump's election, but the …

Benjamin Netanyahu is a rabid nationalist, not a religious fundamentalist.

The tweet and article say the timing comes with symbolism, not that the symbolism was the reason for the timing. Correlation is not causation, and the article does not even claim c…
