  1. You want those people specifically. To get them, you need to hire them for a lot more money than you pay your current folks. That causes a lot of resentment with folks and messes up things like salary bands, etc.

    But since they own equity in the current company, you can give them a ton of money by buying out that equity/paying acquisition bonuses that are conditional on staying for specific amounts of time, etc. And your current staff doesn't feel left out because "it's an acquisition" the way they would if you just paid some engineers 10x or 100x what you pay them.

  2. Correctness to spec ensures interop works when everyone is on the same spec.
  3. Yeah, there's a ton of correctness testing involved. That's mostly at the algorithm, rather than the module level, so it'll fall under CAVP/ACVP rather than CMVP.
  4. I mean... documenting the details of the investigation to support the first decision and relying on the documented details the second time would easily explain that.
  5. Whatever happened with the Polish trains that had all the backdoors that were discovered?
  6. Nerdsniped: You're describing a IEC 60320 C13 cable - they're technically only spec'd for 10A, which means you're looking at ~1200W, not 1800.

    (However, UL will list them for the full 15A -> 1800W, and I'm sure plenty carry that. And for that matter, I suppose you can get twice that in Europe on 240v...)

  7. Microsoft was a thing before email.

    Microsoft was founded in 1975. The standard for SMTP wasn't published in 1981. Most early predecessors were the late 70s.

  8. Could be airlines that have a bias towards one or the other manufacturer, which results in a m'fr bias towards different origin/destination airports.
  9. I'll continue in the "not an expert" chain, but my understanding is that ITAR's prohibitions include communicating the information to a non-US person (a US person is a citizen or permanent resident), even if that is done on US soil.
  10. I think a large set of dictionary words are likely more user friendly. I think most people will have a lot more confidence on their ability to transcribe words to/from paper more accurately than a bunch of numbers - better built in error correction, etc.
  11. In this case? Not that I know of, but I'm not following closely.

    In general? Absolutely - search 'Operation Chokepoint'.

    There's a great summary in the middle of this (very long) article under that header: https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/debanking-and-debunki...

  12. Woah...that's surprising.
  13. > After fixing internet for some neighbors and older relatives, I've wondered if people would pay for a home network / internet handyman service.

    That's what I did for pocket as a kid in high school (in the mid-2000s).

  14. Yes. All CAs trusted by browsers have to go through WebTRUST or ETSI audits by accredited auditors.

    See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/secu... and https://www.ccadb.org/auditors and https://www.ccadb.org/policy#51-audit-statement-content

  15. > There is absolutely no company-wide mandate to use GenAI.

    There is an STeam goal for adoption and usage. There is a QS dashboard for SDMs to see statistics on their org's adoption and abandonment rates. There is BT guidance being propagated out to VPs and directors on how to roll out programs. As placardloop said, there was a mandatory OP1 FAQ question on GenAI usage.

  16. I have an uplift arm and while I'm not at my desk right now, it's height adjustable and I can get it pretty close to my face (without sacrificing the height adjustment) - I have both the range and the crestview (Upgraded when I got a bigger monitor).
  17. Between this and https://www.haproxy.com/blog/state-of-ssl-stacks, I think we need to start accepting the idea that OpenSSL is not the right way forward for anything performance sensitive.

    Given how aws-lc powers both of these articles, I'm curious how Rustls compares to s2n-tls - AWS's TLS library to go along with aws-lc.

  18. They don't have a choice - the decision comes from Chrome's root program and if they don't comply, LetsEncrypt would be distrusted by Chrome.
  19. SPOILERS AHEAD

    SPOILERS AHEAD

    Today's challenge ("Sports Teams") was particularly easy because each one was plural. That made each one "unscramble a 4 letter word" instead of a 5. Might be a consideration for the future.

  20. Realize they have over 1.5MM employees and who knows how many contractors.
  21. The latter class would have been called "Home Economics" ("HomeEc") back in the day.
  22. They actually just published it under a CC0 license which has equivalent effect.
  23. That was Google, not Oracle.
  24. They claimed that studio wouldn't need connect.

    I don't know AGPL well enough to know if a plugin is considered a derived work but it sure seems to imply it:

    > For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

  25. What I don't get...BambuSlicer is open source. And, not only is it open source, it's a fork of PrussaSlicer, so Bambu doesn't have the ability to re-license it.

    It's licensed under the Affero GPL which is very strict about the licensing of derived works. That license requires Bambu to include the source code to any additions they make, including all of the logic, keys, etc. that they're baking into any binary distributions. If they don't, they're violating the copyright rights of Prussa and many others.

    So, either Bambu has to open source all of this, which defeats the purpose (given that it's already leaked, that's gonna happen anyway) or they have to route everything through a separate program for their own slicer.

  26. The Toyota Bird's Eye View/BMW Surround View/etc makes it much, much easier.
  27. Funny. I also have strabismus and I've never, ever been able to see those hidden picture games or these things even once.

    I never developed stereoscopic depth perception, which I assume is related.
