Realistically most enterprise customers use hardware for 3 to a MAXIMUM of 5 years, then it's out the door. Even high-end Xeon CPU's. It's entirely plausible that the bulk of actual enterprise customers(*) don't care.

Having to support the entirely new version of TLS is the barrier. The ciphers are just an implementation detail.
If your stack supports TLS1.3, it will support the new algos (cause if it doesn't it doesn't support TLS1.3). Removing the junk ciphers & hashes makes it impossible for garbage default settings or clueless admins to turn on insecure options. Removing the cruft won't prevent adoption of TLS1.3 in any meaningful way.
I can't believe any autonomous car would be designed to assume peds can only be encountered in crosswalks. That's just too obviously wrong of an assumption for me to believe it survived to an actual product. There are all kinds of water bags (kids, animals) that randomly shoot out into the road. They'd have to have some detection of unexpected obstacles active at all times.
I think there's two most likely causes of the accident. If it was machine error, then whatever process filters the fire hose of data from the various sensors to detect obstacles didn't recognize the person as an obstacle.
The other possibility is that the machine recognized the human and tried to stop but couldn't given distance of the person & speed of the car. I don't see anything in the news reports that state whether the car tried to stop or not. The limited pictures in the article make it look like the road could be a four lane city thoroughfare which could have a 45-50 MPH speed limit. If the person darted out directly in front of the car traveling at that speed, even if the car slammed the breaks, it could easily fail to stop in time. If that's the case, then the question is whether a human driver might have noticed the person on the side of the road and slowed down out of caution. Either way, it's unlikely you'd ticket a human driver who was doing the speed limit for *not* slowing down at the sight of a person on the sidewalk.
"Dead name" is a term used most often for people who are transitioning or have transitioned to a different gender expression and selected a new name for themselves. It also includes people who have selected a new name (possibly of the same gender) but for whatever personal reasons choose to disassociate themselves from the dead name. An example would be where the parent who gave them the name abused them, and they choose an identity for themselves that doesn't invoke the memory of their abuser every time someone calls their name. Repeatedly calling someone by the dead name is either an intentional misgendering (same as using improper pronouns after being informed of their preference) or a way of making them relive a trauma they're trying to heal from.
The term "dead name" doesn't apply to someone who's attempting to hide their past bad acts maliciously. Stating that at a point in time an individual used a particular name when you're explicitly discussing actions or words of that point in time isn't dead-naming them. "Susan used the name Bob at the time they made post as Bob," is a reasonable statement, assuming it's true. Gratuitously pointing out someone's dead name when the fact isn't relevant to the discussion and has nothing to do with the past isn't. "This post by Susan who used to be Bob," is dead-naming unless you're specifically connecting Susan to their past acts that are listed under a different name.
They didn't take it out back & blow it up, but machining tools don't last forever.
Some of them were probably used (with modifications) in subsequent model years, most of them just wore out & weren't replaced since they weren't making that exact part anymore. For the rest, molds and tooling takes up space or rust and the materials they're made out of can be recycled into new parts. There isn't a lot of money to be made in keeping tooling for a 30+ year old car that they only made about 300 of to begin with.
iBoot is the first code to execute AFTER mask ROM on the device. The source may contain some information about the ROM by virtue of interfacing with it, but if the leak was just iBoot source, it shouldn't contain source for the ROM itself. I doubt there's anything in the leak that isn't patchable in order devices if Apple chose to do so.
The difficulty balancing algorithm prevents that from happening. The amount of computing power needed to solve each block is variable based on how much real time it took to solve the last block. The algorithm adjusts the difficulty (how much of hash has to be zeros in Bitcoin) to keep the solve time relatively constant.
If lots of people turn off their rigs for any reason, the current block will take a long time; but the next block will drop its difficulty to compensate based on available mining resources. If the difficulty gets high enough that cost of power exceeds the value of the coin mined, some people give up, and the difficulty falls accordingly until it reaches equilibrium.
Balancing should ensure that people who mine make a modest profit. It's only mad money for miners when the coin they mine is in the middle of an asset bubble that balloons its value almost before they've finished earning it. The bubble has to deflate eventually (I believe I hear a leaking sound now...), but mining should continue to stay profitable as long as people are interested in using coin.
Let's be clear on terminology. "Pancake syrup" contains little or no maple. Maybe distilled smoke extract from a tiny amount of maple wood, but probably not even that. It's high fructose corn syrup & caramel color.
Only 100% pure maple syrup is made from actual tree sap. As a New Yorker living on the Vermont border, I can assure you there's a difference between the good stuff and that crap they put in the clear plastic bottles.
The most accurate looking Monopoly money template I could find in a quick Google image search has 12 bills per 8.5x11" page. Assuming you go all $500's, that's $6000 per page. $100B / $6000 = 16,666,666 pages. That's 33,333 reams of paper. Quick Amazon search shows $5.97/ream (it's an Add-on item, but I think we'll make the minimum order here). So that's about $199,000 worth of paper for $100B Monopoly money or an exchange rate of 0.00000199.
According to Stack, a ream is around 5lbs (which matches Amazon's shipping weight) and paper yields about 7000 BTU/lb or 35,000 BTUs per ream (which seems high, but second source). They're claiming that's "enough to heat the average US house for 15 weeks" which seems implausible to me? Maybe if you're assuming 100% conversion efficiency with no losses and not living somewhere the air hurts your face.
So that pile of Monopoly money yields around 1,166,655,000 BTUs or about 12,820 gallons of propane and weighs 166,665 lbs (83 tons).
If nothing else, I suspect it would hold value more consistently than most crypto coin.
Hate to break it to you, but that knocks you out of the running for "their best customers." Any small to medium business that refreshes machines every three years to stay within vendor support will buy more CPU's in a month than you'll buy in a lifetime. Intel manages to fleece gamers for some high-margin parts, but their real money is in the volume sales for mid-range plus Xeon's to business.

I'll bet you 1 BTC at any value that the holdings of BTC are nowhere near uniformly geographically distributed. As long as it's night in the places you're most worried about selling off and tanking before you recover your money, it counts as the middle of the night.
The floor on US Dollar value is that they don't serve very good bacon in tax prison. As long as it can keep me out of prison & buy good bacon, I'll be long on USD...
Government fiat currency will always have one fixed intrinsic value: People with guns will come and lock you up if you don't pay them the correct amount of it every year. As long as fiat pays taxes, it's guaranteed to be worth something. BTC, not so much...
The one benefit I can see to the slowness of transaction resolution on Bitcoin is that it makes it useless for HF trading. If you have to wait days for your trades to clear OR pay a huge transaction fee to jump the line, it's a lot harder to cash in on sub-penny swings to rook investors who are more hops away from the exchange than you are.
But the line between (feigned) ignorance and shill is still pretty clear if you know what you're looking for. Clearly no one can know *why* until OP sells off their holdings, then it'll be crystal clear why.
