Of course the more forty year old rules you follow the more engineering it is. Using a better programming language that doesn't depend on organisational process for safety is not engineering - there's no standard for that.

How did you come up with such conclusion?

Argument is only that there is a lot of proper engineering in software development - whether it is implementing memory safety by default in new languages or having organizational processes. All is there and I only dislike opinions that say software development is immature new field. It is not.

Article was also about NASA organization rules so pointing to MISRA was argument „it is. It only NASA and those are not so special rules”.


This assumes that I already have "my" IRB. Most people who want publish an informal online survey do not.

Pray tell who would be creating the legal cost if the isp weren't collaborating? Copyright holders just have the inherent ability to impose costs on other people, no government support required?


ECC is supported on a random subset of processors (one of each performance tier) but the motherboard still costs 500$.



If your nodes disclose their affiliation that's fine but the client will avoid using multiple. If you try to do this in secret the tor project will attempt to catch you by looking for suspicious nodes that use the same isp and update their tor version at the same time and things like that, to questionable success.


State-level actors (five eyes) should have no problem with avoiding that kind of detection.


But an adversary with enough money could just buy servers from multiple ISPs, right?


The purpose of the company is to produce youtube videos not professionally written internal memos. In fact one might say that this is the core message of the document.


The largest provider of security holes and the largest user of them.


The traditional solution is to get your time by radio from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCF77 or your regional equivalent. It might take up to 24 hours to update but it will always be correct and requires no manual interaction whatsoever.


> It might take up to 24 hours to update but it will always be correct

sounds like it might be incorrect only(!) for 24 hours at a time, with "how many times" being the wildcard.


It will be incorrect whenever the time changes, so twice a year and maybe once more if you expect your microwave to adjust for leap seconds. Depending on the device it will also lose track of time if it looses power but in that case it should know to resync immediately.


Japan uses a similar system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JJY

Most typical home clocks will use this signal to set themselves up automatically, which is made easier by the fact that Japan does not have daylight saving time.


Can WWVB also be used? And does it have the same issue?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB


As I understand it the core thesis of this article is that any object which can be manufactured using semiconductor processes gets to share the experience curve of semiconductor manufacturing, which not only has has a unusually high cost reduction per doubling compared to other industries but is also already very cheap to begin with due to the large volume already produced.
