The business geniuses of intel bought Altera for nearly $17B in 2015. Now sold control at valuation barely half of that. After official inflation of over 30% during that time. Which means it lost over 2/3 of its value, (take into account also the lost interest on that money). Given that they gave up control for half the money, it’s effectively as if it was relinquished for 1/3 of what Intel paid for it. So far - no one of the responsible Intel execs paid any price for such atrocious loss of stakeholders’ value. They need to be in jail and lose their personal wealth to repay the stockholders.

The SEC should investigate them, see whether there was any inside trading to benefit from this horrible value loss.

This criminal lack of performance needs to be brought up during the upcoming shareholders meeting. Responsible must pay the price.

Would you hire again the Intel CEOs, head of Intel Capital, any members of Intel’s board of directors after such abysmal performance?

Making Z-Wave closed source in the beginning sealed its fate. All competing protocols were open source. Z-Wave failed and won’t recover.

2053 is too far away indeed.

“It’s probably not hard…” - how many such wishful thinking statements were uttered by humanity.

Well, I hope that if they do so, the FSF and all copyright holders of the Open Source software used to make Android Great In-the-First-Place will sue their a$$e$ off.

Very simple. 1. Orders of magnitude. Digital transactions can be billions in single transaction. While making large cash transactions in cumbersome and unrealistic. 2. Because they can. Regulating digital transactions is simple. Regulating cash - next to impossible.

You are confusing randomization, a legitimate security mechanism, with security by obscurity. ASLR is not security by obscurity. Please spend the time on understanding the terminology rather than regurgitating buzz words.

The author should’ve stayed in the NP class and not drop out.

55-60Mbps is a reasonable expectation. Don’t get fooled by exuberant speeds advertised by the powerline equipment manufacturers. Lag can jump by ~25msec

The premise of the article (if it can be called that) is incorrect. He made the statement about the 5 computers in a TV interview (and it was not related to business trip referred in the article). I saw the recording of the interview some 10-15 years ago. Don’t remember which network. Perhaps NBC?
