When they have access like this, is it any wonder that another state-sponsored group can piggyback and get EVERYTHING? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

It wasn’t just executive bonuses. Look up how much they spent on stock buybacks, and then imagine if they spent the same amount on getting their fabs back up to speed.

The willingness to sell of Intel’s board may be irrelevant, depending on where the majority of stock is held.

This would be a horrible acquisition for Broadcom. Their whole strategy is to extract blood from a stone via vendor lock in. They have no such barrier to competition with Intel, all this would do would be to accelerate AMD‘s ascendancy

The carb industry is tied to the military in the form of nitrogen fixation for ammonia production. But at the end of the day, all of the big conglomerates are just different faces of the same monolithic system.

Its not a question of performing an audit, but whether or not they will issue an unqualified opinion. I rather doubt that SuperMicro wants to pay Big4 dollars for an Adverse Opinion.

Bet they wish they had plowed the money they spent on share buybacks into R&D and internal investment instead.

Great, silly book called âoeCodgerspaceâ

Even better would be to outlaw stock buybacks (like they were before Regan). If Intel and Boeing hadn't been focused on stock price manipulation via buybacks, they would have had to focus on improving their business's fundamentals to improve stock price. At this point, I'd say that bailouts should be provided as Debtor-In-Possession financing. The shareholders got to rob these companies for decades, they can go to the back of the line while the rest of us pay to dig them out.

Better would be to create an Antivirus API and let AV vendors have access to that, instead of direct access to the kernel. It'd also be better if CrowdStrike would write their software so they close off vulnerability to out-of-bounds errors.

The original phrase would work well too. "Non sequitur, your facts are uncoordinated."

Despite putting my number on every Do Not Call list that I could find, the landline phone would ring at least a dozen times a day at all hours with spam, scams, and political bullshit. They are dying in part because the FCC has been either asleep or looking the other way.

My take is that they just lied to Congress. The Whistleblower report makes it sound like it absolutely WAS documented, just in the wrong (and unofficial) system where if they disclose it they will appear to have been working to cover this up. https://tech.slashdot.org/comm...
