George Polya (excuse spelling) wrote book called How To Solve It, it teaches heuristic methods in mainly mathematical problem solving, but the real value comes from whem someone, s…

Why would Intel be complicit in it? Suppose they did this. Now, that the vulnerabilities are public, Intel takes the fall. Oopsie, huh?
