  1. Re:3des on Encrypted PIN Data Taken In Target Breach · · Score: 1

    The PIN information is encrypted within Target’s systems and can only be decrypted when it is received by our external, independent payment processor. What this means is that the “key” necessary to decrypt that data has never existed within Target’s system and could not have been taken during this incident.

    Which is dammed misleading. Maybe the information truly is never decrypted on their system, but it is encrypted and it's encrypted with exactly the same key as it would be decrypted with at the external, independent payment processor.

  2. Re:real world databases are usually not pcu bound. on Why Don't Open Source Databases Use GPUs? · · Score: 1

    But what if the benchmark is larger than the memory size of the GPU? I don't know the actual size, but I guess they use at least realistic amounts of data (larger than the memory of the GPU card), so that would prove your theory wrong!

    They didn't (1GB), he's right.

    Yeah, and no one is saying anything against GPU compute nodes, just not swooning over the bright future of GPU acceleration for the database itself.

    Yeah, just as the Fifth Amendment doesn't protect you if you stand up in court and voluntarily admit to things.

    Absolutely. This is the whole point of having people with different skills and responsibilities attend meetings together.
