| schestowitz | <p>In a statement, Mark Warner (Virginia) and Marco Rubio (Florida) wrote to the director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, seeking a review of alleged risks that YMTC poses to US national security.</p> | Sep 26 09:24 |
| schestowitz | <p>Over the last few years, the US has sought to cut off Chinese companies' access to advanced semiconductors. One of the firms affected has been Huawei Technologies, once a leader in the smartphone industry in China, but now reduced to a bit player.</p> | Sep 26 09:24 |

| schestowitz | <p>They have their own deeply weird storage architectures, networking systems, weird I/O controllers, often weird programming languages and memory models… and yes, because they have to, they occasionally sully themselves and bend down to talk to the mainstream kit. They can network with it; if they need to talk to each other, they’ll tunnel their own strange protocols over TCP/IP or whatever.</p> | Sep 26 10:16 |
| schestowitz | <p>But because they are the only boxes that know where all the money is and who has which money where, and who gets the tax and the pensions, and where all the aeroplanes are in the sky and who’s on them, and a few specialised but incredibly important tasks like that, they keep moving on, serene and untroubled, like brontosauri placidly pacing along while a tide of tiny squeaky hairy things scuttle around | Sep 26 10:16 |
| schestowitz | their feet. Occasionally a little hairy beast jumps aboard and sucks some blood, or hitches a ride… A mainframe runs some Java apps, or it spawns a VM that contain a few thousand Linux instances – and the little hairy beasts think they’ve won. But the giant plods slowly along, utterly untroubled. Maybe something bit one ankle but it didn’t matter.</p><p>Result: the industry ignores them, and they ignore the industry.</p> | Sep 26 10:16 |

| schestowitz | <p>Tackling disinformation and misinformation is a problem that is important, timely, hard… and, in no way new. Throughout history, different forms of propaganda, manipulation, and biased reporting have been present and deployed — consciously or not; maliciously or not — to steer political discourse and to goad public outrage. The issue has admittedly become more urgent lately and we do need to | Sep 26 11:16 |
| schestowitz | do something about it. I believe, however, that so far we’ve been focusing on the wrong parts of it.</p> | Sep 26 11:16 |
