Bechtolsheim has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $923,740 for earning slightly more than half that for his illegal trades, and has also agreed to be barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for five years.Forbes lists Bechtolsheim's net worth at somewhere north of $16 billion. The SEC fine is less than 0.006 percent of his holdings.

I had someone spill orange juice all over my laptop shortly before I was going to give a presentation. I quickly emailed someone my slides and then shut the laptop down.

CNCF boss talks 'irrational exuberance' in an AI-heavy Kubecon keynote

That's not exactly an endorsement for Kubernetes if they don't even "Dog Food" it...

Is this really a breach? Everything I've read said that the staff member tried to access the records and nothing suggests they were successful. It appears that the clinic has the systems in place to prevent unauthorised access to records which is a good thing.
It looks like my praise might have been a bit hasty, they're being investigated for not reporting the breach quickly enough

> Would the logs have been audited for a Normy being treated?
In ancient history, I temped in a Medical Records "Library" in a bog-standard NHS hospital, it was basically a warehouse with a a *lot* of paper files and microfilm. There were a few folders belonging to famous people[0] that were locked in the supervisors' office to prevent naughty staff taking a peak. Although, a search for a "Normy"'s folder's location would have been logged, there was nothing to stop you having a look.[1]
[0] Famous people included the local football team and a famous criminal beloved of the British tabloids
[1] By pure chance I did have to deal with a couple of sets of notes from people I knew, I was tempted, but just put them on the shelf as I did for the strangers' records

The Information Commissioner's Office, the local data protection regulator, confirmed to The Register in a statement: "We can confirm that we have received a breach report and are assessing the information provided."

Brits blissfully unbothered by snail-paced mobile network speeds
Wednesday 20th March 2024 10:19 GMT
The home connection is used for far more than just browsing, it's far more likely to see people doing actual work or watching lots more video, plus it's shared with a few other people on the same connection - so if 30Mbps is adequate at home, 5Mbps is more than adequate when out and about.
4K Netflix wants ~25Mbs, so if someone is watching telly and a phone updates itself then bye bye the film...

>>> What does the word religion mean to you?
The word "religion" can have different meanings and interpretations
depending on one's cultural, historical, and personal perspective. Here
are some possible ways the word "religion" might be understood:
1. Beliefs and practices: At its core, religion can be seen as a set of beliefs and
practices that individuals or groups hold dear and engage in to connect with the divine,
spiritual realm, or higher power. This could include rituals, ceremonies, prayers,
meditation, or other forms of worship.
2. Organized systems: Religion can also refer to organized systems of beliefs and practices
that have a defined structure, such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism,
etc. These systems often have sacred texts, leaders, rituals, and codes of conduct that
guide the behavior and practices of their followers.
3. Personal spirituality: Religion can also be understood as a personal and individual
expression of spirituality, where individuals connect with their own sense of purpose,
meaning, or higher power through prayer, meditation, or other forms of inner reflection. In
this sense, religion is a deeply personal experience that shapes one's worldview and informs
their values and ethics.
4. Cultural identity: Religion can also be seen as a significant aspect of cultural
identity, where individuals and groups identify themselves through their religious beliefs
and practices. For example, in some cultures, religion is closely tied to customs,
traditions, and social norms, and is an integral part of daily life.
5. Ethics and morality: Religion can also be understood as a system of ethics and morality,
where individuals learn how to live a good and virtuous life through the teachings and
principles of their faith. In this sense, religion provides a moral framework for
understanding right and wrong, and guiding one's actions and decisions.
6. Community and belonging: Religion can also be seen as a source of community and
belonging, where individuals come together with others who share their beliefs and values to
form a spiritual or religious community. This sense of community can provide support,
comfort, and a sense of purpose for its members.
7. Historical and cultural heritage: Religion can also be understood as a part of historical
and cultural heritage, where it reflects the unique experiences, traditions, and beliefs of
a particular culture or society. In this sense, religion is a way of connecting with one's
past and understanding the present through the lens of religious beliefs and practices.
Overall, the word "religion" can have multiple meanings and interpretations depending on the
context and perspective. At its core, however, it refers to a set of beliefs and practices
that individuals or groups hold dear and engage in to connect with something greater than
themselves.

Re: time travel
There was a time when Intel's marketing folk dictated that ultimate clock speed was all that mattered.The result was Pentium 4.
I remember a Vulture on here extrapolating the heat density of the NetBurst (including Pentium 4) family of chips and pointing out that it wasn't going to be long until it was greater than the centre of a nuclear reactor...
