it is a pretty fun problem since it is reasonably easy to understand, but it is a bit of a marvel that someone thought of it i have to wonder if we wont see a microcode patch at some point, thinking that intel should be able to hook into the point of the page fault and determine that it is specifically a supervisor page, and just flush caches in that reasonably rare event e: then again, that may be too late if you carefully synchronize two threads for the purpose

presumably Intel would've done that if it were possible, because the alternative solution that they're developing now is so much worse also, https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/12/19/intels-ceo-just-sold-a-lot-of-stock.aspx

Anyone remember which conference and year it was where someone here noted the conference was displaying pictures in tweets with a certain conference hashtag on the projector unfiltered, resulting in someone else goatse'ing the display? Was it at an RSA conference?

its not insider trading if you do the trades after your employees have posted the patch to the public mailing list

no one from equifax got hurt for selling stocks during a loving breach that they knew about and were investigating. why do you think they will touch intel's ceo?

# ? Jan 2, 2018 20:31 |

are you asking me? I don’t think there will be practical consequences. I just don’t think posting a patch is what closes it off. I’ve had material non-public information at public companies, and our guidance always had much higher bars to clear than “someone posted related code to someone else’s web site”.

The difference is probably whether or not you're high-level enough that the company would back you up instead of throwing you under the bus.

IIRC they have to be filed 6 months before they take effect, so going from the form 4 he specified the sale back in April. (likely to coincide with his option package vesting.) all CxO/VPs I know trade under a 10b5-1 plan because they always have MNP information and otherwise couldn’t trade at all

I don't think this was necessarily insider trading. But in a non-poo poo world, it would certainly be something the SEC should investigate a bit. Since we are in a poo poo world where rules are only followed because it isn't inconvenient for the people the rules are meant for, I'm sure they will sign off on it without a second look.

I'm looking at moving my IT career towards an IT Security role. Not sure where in IT Security to start from or with, any recommendations? Is it worth becoming an auditor or is there some other part of IT Security that's worth looking into?

ate poo poo on live tv posted:But in a non-poo poo world, it would certainly be something the SEC should investigate a bit. in April he told the SEC “I’m going to make this trade later this year”, and then it was on autopilot. he doesn’t get to change his mind. the optics are bad to people who think the CEO just logged into E-Trade to dump a few million in shares after getting an unpleasant email, but it’s super easy for the SEC to see whether the trade followed the 10b5-1 they have on file. I’m sure they did check when the form 4 came in, really, so I guess they did investigate a bit I may be missing another angle though: what do you think they should do?

i'm hearing a lot of desktop users yelling about the 30% DROP IN SPEED for their VIDEO-GAMES to me this looks like an issue that really doesn't affect desktop users, right? only situations where someone should be allowed to execute code but not read certain portions of memory (like virtualization)?
