Comment Re: So we can't let Intel collapse (Score 1) 93

AMD is also producing x86 CPUs and it's very good at it. Moreover, handing out money to Intel, regardless of transferring part of its shares to the government, is still a bailout and it's completely unfair to Intel's competitors like AMD, Apple, or Nvidia. AMD and Apple has gone in the past through long periods of financial losses and nobody came over to bail out those companies. They had to work hard to build better competitive products to stay relevant. It was also proved in court that Intel was using predatory anticompetitive practices to hurt AMD when it was bribing PC vendors to buy only Intel chips. Intel was basically a lazy company that relied on its monopoly access to world's most advanced chip manufacturing process to snub everyone else. As soon as Intel lost the edge in the manufacturing, it turned out that Intel has nothing else great going for it. Its x86 chips are facing strong competition from AMD and ARM chips, Intel is playing a third fiddle in GPU space, and it completely missed the mobile device market. What a great company this is. Let's reward its mediocrity.

VP.NET Publishes SGX Enclave Code: Zero-Trust Privacy You Can Actually Verify 12

VP.NET has released the source code for its Intel SGX enclave on GitHub, allowing anyone to build the enclave and verify its mrenclave hash matches what's running on the servers. This takes "don't trust, verify" from marketing to reality, making privacy claims testable all the way down to hardware-enforced execution.

A move like this could set a new benchmark for transparency in privacy tech.
