  1. Picnic is already broken. on Microsoft Adds Post-Quantum Cryptography To an OpenVPN Fork (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Picnic might be secure from quantum computers.

    But its basket structures are clearly vulnerable to bear based attacks where the attacker is mathematically proven to be smarter than average.

  2. China signed a piece of paper is therefore PERFECT on Scientists Race To Find Who is Pumping a Dangerous Gas Into the Atmosphere (theoutline.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    China signed the Paris Climate Handout (I mean "accord") and is therefore perfect.

    Sure, those sub-human NAZIS in the U.S. might not be pumping these chemicals into the atmosphere and of course the U.S. is actually cutting other forms of emissions while Germany actually increases its emissions because OMG NUKULAR IS BAD, but...

    Trump DIDN'T SIGN A PIECE OF PAPER THAT VIRTUE-SIGNALS HIS WOKENESS.

    Only a Nazi thinks that objective facts have meaning when you fail to virtue signal.

  3. This is easy on Intel Faces Age Discrimination Allegations Following Layoffs (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    MSMash will cheer-lead Intel for these layoffs and even attack Intel for not murdering them in their own cubicles if Intel can just come up with some accusations that these employees weren't woke.

    After all, median age of 49? I'm willing to bet that a majority of them were WHITE* and MALE. Hell, I doubt that any of them were properly transgendered enough to count.

    Not woke? Firing your ass is fine.

    * And yes, Asian == white here.

  4. Remember when Microsoft was worse than Hitler? on Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin Wants Justice Department To Scrutinize Big Tech (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Remember when Microsoft was the ULTIMATE EVIL in the known universe because you had to download Netscape manually on Windows?

    But remember, Google tracking your every move is fine because their leadership is considered to be "woke".

    "Put in a mandate that all government algorithms most be open sourced in an easily accessible fashion, and all data passed through them must also be easily accessed. "

    Congratulations, you just earned yourself a lifetime ban in all conversations discussing climate change models and the input data used by the climate change models.

  6. Open Source is Magic! on After Equifax Breach, Major Firms Still Rely on Same Flawed Software (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    Funny how the completely open source Apache Struts framework never got any of the blame in the Equifax hack.

    And don't give me the usual "but the vulnerabilities were fixed before the hack happened!" Because if that was true then only zero-day hacks of any system could count and despite the propaganda those attacks are quite rare.

  7. Re:not buying any more new computers & gadgets on 'Next Generation' Flaws Found on Computer Processors (reuters.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yeah, so you're just an AMD fanboy who wants to pretend that RyZen's shit don't stink when literally the only "new" features in RyZen are its sub-par cache architecture.

    Speculative execution only help's Intel's performance?
    Sure.. tell ya what: Turn it off on RyZen and tell me how your "3D rendering" performance goes.

    As for your irrelevant rant about hyperthreading, just remember that hyperthreading sucks so bad that AMD went out of its way to copy it in RyZen and abandoned its failed experiments from Bulldozer.

  8. Re:not buying any more new computers & gadgets on 'Next Generation' Flaws Found on Computer Processors (reuters.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    "The problem is, Intel tried to cheat. "Speculative execution" is just a marketing gimmick created so they could claim that their chips were faster than the competition. "

    The fact that some douche can say this on Slashdot and get upthumbed shows just how far the level of technical competency on this website has fallen.

  9. Idiot post about Silicon Valley on 'Increasingly, People in Silicon Valley Are Losing Touch With Reality' (500ish.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Starts off with: People in silicon valley are in a bubble.

    True statement.

    Ends with: It's basically Trump's fault that people in Silicon Valley are in a bubble.

    Yeah... that basically shows the author is basically in the same bubble as the people in Silicon Valley.

    Lemme guess: The main conclusion is that the elitists in Silicon Valley aren't Pavlovianly "woke" enough, which is why they are in the bubble?

  10. Nice try "researchers" on Researchers Devise a Way To Generate Provably Random Numbers Using Quantum Mechanics (newatlas.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're not fooling me. It's well known that the NSA incorporated backdoors into the fabric of the universe when they subverted the big bang.

    ICF can do curved walls, although it requires extra work to put cuts into the blocks to allow them to bend to follow the shape of the curve.

    This house in particular could definitely have been formed in less than 18 days with ICF, even including the curves.

  13. Re:Well it's clearly not x86 on Apple's Redesigned Mac Pro is Coming in 2019 (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    The funny part is that people who don't know the history of what RISC was actually about* making it possible to jack up the clockspeeds by having stupidly simple instruction sets that only did the bare minimum.

    A highly clocked x86 is literally the opposite of what RISC designers actually thought was possible.

    * Hint to all fanboys out there: Modern ARM cpus that are actually supposed to be "competitive" with x86 parts like Atoms instead of being used to run your toaster? Yeah, a real designer who actually worked on RISC back in the day would take about 3 seconds to figure out that they ain't really RISC either.

  14. Well it's clearly not x86 on Apple's Redesigned Mac Pro is Coming in 2019 (theverge.com) · · Score: -1

    Given this never-before-seen inside video of Apple's board meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    We clearly know that the 2019 Mac is faster because it's RISC, it will be faster with all existing software, and it will be cheaper!

  15. OMG Global Warming! on Scientists Harvest First Vegetables in Antarctic Greenhouse (apnews.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Those pro-Trump denialists claiming you need a greenhouse to grow vegetables in Anatarctica when we all know there's RECORD HEAT down there.

    I'll only let them live if they install a weather monitoring station inside the greenhouse and then give the temperature measurements a +5C adjustment in the name of TRUTH.

  16. Who the hell does Xi think he is!?!?! on China Regulator Bans TV Parodies Amid Content Crackdown (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    Heavy handed punishment for any thoughtcrime that goes against the ideology of the ruling elite is Google, Facebook, & Apple's job dammit!

  17. The DNC should have used Hillary's Server! on More Evidence Ties Alleged DNC Hacker Guccifer 2.0 To Russian Intelligence (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    As I recall, the evil Russians hacked literally every voting machine and DNC computer in 2016, but I seem to recall that it was proven -- with a greater greater degree of certainty that the sun exists -- that Hillary's bathroom email server was never hacked whatsoever because she personally wrote the world's most sophisticated neural-network based IDS to protect it. Which of course is why she was innocent of any violations of law regarding information security.

    So in conclusion, Hillary's bathroom server should have been used to host the entire DNC and have been used to control every voting machine in 2016 to stop those evil Russkies.

  18. Yes trade barriers are very bad.

    Which is why these reciprocal tariffs against China will hopefully force China to abandon it's xenophobic, racist, and anti-free market trade barriers that it has maintained for years and years.

    So Trump is clearly trying to end China's boneheaded move of having trade barriers against U.S. products.

  19. Re:So this comes with a min wage increase right? on Trump Announces $60 Billion Tariff on Chinese High-Tech and Other Goods (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yeah wait, so according to you globalist one-sided trade deals that benefit China + a small number of wealthy foreign investors are the reason that there's a middle class in the U.S. in the first place.

    So therefore, anything that goes against China + a small number of wealthy foreign investors will destroy the middle class? Given that these deals have been in place for decades and have only gotten worse over time, it's good to know that the middle class was literally in its best condition in recorded history right up until yesterday.

    I mean, if hackathons are clearly evil then wouldn't it be fair to make any contribution to open source illegal unless the programmer is automatically paid at Union Wage rates and of course is compelled by law to kick back 10% of that to the Union in the name of "fairness"?

    I'm just trying to outlaw corporate repression here.

  21. Re:Securities fraud on Can AMD Vulnerabilities Be Used To Game the Stock Market? (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Yeah, except that you glossed over the "insider" part there that has a special meaning under the law unless you are accusing the people at CTS of actually being "insiders" of AMD or having been granted specific confidential information from AMD with a relationship that would make them be considered "insiders".

    Merely digging up information on your own without being an AMD insider or having gained privileged confidential information from AMD isn't enough for them to be prosecuted.

    Once again, CTS is full of sleazy people who won't have long careers in this industry though.

    For failing to do its job and throw the election to her.
    After all, apparently a trivial number of ads made by the exact same people that encouraged Michael Moore to protest Trump* was enough to completely derail her campaign even though Zuckerberg and all of Facebook's employees were out to get her elected.

  24. Shit, Slashdot goes down for 10 days at a time with zero explanation from the risibly-named "DevOps" DeVry dropouts who pretend to understand 1990s era PERL.

    A minor outage of an obscure web provider who may have -- according to your scare story -- "hundreds" of users on ComCast is now proof that ComCast is systematically violating net neutrality?

    Back to the moron zone with Slashdot after its latest outage.

  25. Typical idiocy clickbait from the "editors" on Intel Fights For Its Future (mondaynote.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    As usual another stupid article full of line noise instead of anything intelligent to say.

    Incidentally, if Intel is "fighting for its future" by making huge profits in a variety of areas then why the hell is Qualcomm -- the effective monopolist in smartphone wireless devices and also a huge player in smartphone SoCs -- even conceivably a target of a takeover? Why the hell isn't Qualcomm about to buy out Intel if Intel is so behind the curve and Qualcomm is supposedly so great?

    Let's not even forget how this idiot "analysis" is somehow never applied to fanboy-favorite AMD who for some reason is destined for greatness without ever having made a single product that could be used in a mobile phone.
