You clearly aren't a U.S. citizen... that is true.
Second of all, pretending that the Supreme Court should be granted the power of a defacto dictatorship based on a badly thrown together appeal-to-authority logical fallacy shows why the rest of the world should be butting out of U.S. politics since apparently you've never heard of this thing called "checks and balances".
No, I think it's China who needs to be swamped by masses of immigrants who hate Chinese culture, don't want to work, and in many cases have no problems resorting to additional crimes and terrorism against their host country.
That would hurt China. For some reason, China seems to be smart enough to not let them in though while the same liberals who scream at Trump have no problems dropping to their knees to service their Chinese masters.
Outside of somebody stealing your drives to look at them, encryption at rest isn't that vital since when the system is live the data are going to be effectively unencrypted for use. Considering the hack had nothing to do with physical theft of drives, it's kind of off topic.
It's like how Truecrypt can't protect your live database server from dumping data due to a SQL injection attack even if it protects the contents of the DB from physical hard drive theft.
This story is yet another example of the usual way that the alleged "editors" like to distort and lie about what a news story is about.
The way the headline and most of the "summary" reads it's like the FBI is out to arrest some guy just because he sent a GIF in an email. You know, just like how if Slashdot had been around in 1963 they would have been whining and complaining about how the FBI unfairly arrested Lee Harvey Oswald for sitting in a movie theater*.
* Right after assassinating Kennedy, but that's a minor detail.
"Is it selling well? Probably not. I.e. there's some evidence that people don't want to move from 4-8 Core i7 style large cores to 64-72 Atom cores. I.e. people buying server CPUs care about single thread performance."
Xeon Phis are selling extremely well and have been widely publicly deployed in the Top 500 supercomputers since earlier this year.
The fact that you are calling a Xeon Phi a failure because it's not replacing a desktop chip shows your ignorance, not any failure on the part of an extremely innovative product.
This stuff is overblown since these management engines are only ever active in a limited set of corporate environments where out-of-band management is a huge plus that actually improves security by not requiring your IT drone to physically access every system even if it's turned off.
Oh, and don't think your magical AMD saviours are any better. There a TrustZone processor that you have zero control over embedded in their products that does the exact same bad stuff.

Fascinating how a story inolving OMG RUSSIAN COLLUSION, a real FBI investigation, and very real and documented payments of $500K to Bubba to go talk at some bored Russian oligarchs.. oh and a sale of Uranium mining to Russia... is apparently not important enough to ever be covered on Slashdot whatsoever.
You might as well say that Facebook's AI runs on electricity and (generously) 99% of Facebook's engineers aren't experts in electricity generation and distribution either.
But your outrage over his documented collusion with Russia over the uranium deal (http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/355749-fbi-uncovered-russian-bribery-plot-before-obama-administration ) is noted.
Yeah, so when Netflix used DRM you were cool with it -- or else you would never have had a subscription to cancel in the first place -- but when Netflix moved to another form of DRM that's actually less restrictive than their old DRM it suddenly became a bad thing.
That's like saying that cryptographic protocols aren't "open" because they are by their nature designed to stop people from snooping on encrypted information without a key.
In the past the usual suspects who claimed we were all doomed DOOMED I SAY were stupid enough to make predictions with 5 or 10 year time horizons.
Now don't get me wrong, there's plenty of people who will try to shove any doomsday prediction that doesn't come true down the memory hole via the usual dodges of "They never *really* said that!" or "OMG they were totally right because [insert vague allusion to a statistic here]!" even though it turns out everybody is strangely still not dead.
My personal favorites are the climate models that are completely wrong that are used as the basis for doomsday scenarios. When the scenarios don't come true, anybody with the temerity to point out that the Human Race hasn't gone extinct is attacked for being anti-science because some *completely different climate model* didn't predict doomsday. Therefore: 1. The models were *always* right (because they predicted every possible outcome and one of the outcomes happened). And 2. If you disagree with our *new* Doomsday prediction then you must be anti-science because guess what... the models are *always* right (see above where the "correct" model that didn't predict Doomsday turned out to be correct).
However, even with the usual propaganda machine in full swing it's hard to literally predict a mass extinction in 2015 and then accuse everyone who points our your inaccuracy in 2017 of being an anti-science big oil shill. So instead they've just pushed the Doomsday date far enough out into the future that they won't have to worry about it. Well played, well played.
"The man was later identified as Dong Liu, a dual citizen of China and Canada."
As a non-American this Dong is obviously a victim of racism -- which only exists in America -- and should be given an award for liberating information that wanted to be free from the clutches of evil racists like that CEO who DISCRIMINATED against Dong by using his brain.
You never discriminate against Dong.
[P.S. --> If that fucker had been a Russian then executing him on the spot and using it as indisputable proof that Trump committed treason in the election would be cool though. Xenophobia is only bad against some foreigners based on political convenience after all]
This is the 21st century you white cisgendered Trumpist-pig.
There's no such thing as "failure" and the HyperLoop would simply get a participation trophy and be placed in the protected trans-functional class where you can't criticize it.

But but but.. they SAID all the right things and virtue signaled in the prescribed manner!
It's great they completely dumped nuclear power though, because OMG RADEYAYSHUNS!!

I'm pretty damn sure that the world ended in 2015 just like they predicted.

Well Duh, it's clear that Obama was a pro-Trump Russian mole who worked tirelessly to derail her campaign!

Newsflash: Obama already left office.

Where's the love for Commodore-64 Katz & Bennett "STFU WESLEY" Hasselton?
There you go with factual stories about actual collusion that actually involves Russia that don't fit the narrative.
Slashdot doesn't want "your kind" around here.
Nervana is designed from the ground up for machine learning, Rao tells me. You can't play Call of Duty with it.
Pshaw... it's whether or not you can play Crysis that counts here.

Consequently, SSL should be banned. Right?

I think that this posting by msmash is clearly advancing stereotypes against music majors and I fully support firing his sorry ass.
If that's true then apparently Google is tolerant of Boycott Divest & Sanction, just like Berkely.
P.S. --> Wanna see a picture of an angry white racist who attempted to stop a Jewish speaker from delivering a peaceful intellectual talk at Berkely?
Just look here: http://www.jammiewf.com/2017/d...
I thought everyone with an IQ over 85 or so had already fled the stupid 'Murica for Canada when Trump won!
I mean, just look at the posts from good leftists on here who always follow through with their promises to go to Canada if Trump won.
Then again, I did say an IQ over 85 was a requirement to leave for Canada, so maybe these points aren't really contradictory.
