Learnt way too much about time and protocols from this one.

“We believe PTP will become the standard for keeping time in computer networks in the coming decades. That’s why we’re deploying it on an unprecedented scale. We’ve had to take a critical look at our entire infrastructure stack — from the GNSS antenna down to the client API — and in many cases we’ve even rebuilt things from scratch.”

Hasnain says:

“His fellow academic, Prof Yusuf Jubril, explains that their colleagues find it strange: "Society make us think someone is too big for certain roles and it's not true.
"What he is doing is not humiliating but commendable, and I hope others learn from him."”

Hasnain says:

“Even a highway network paved completely with quiet asphalt and driven upon exclusively by appropriately sized electric vehicles, however, is not enough to make roadways places of repose. As one biologist told Goldfarb in “Crossings,” “the best way to preserve quiet habitat for wildlife is to not build the damn road … Once you do, you’re in big trouble.” Goldfarb’s book considers the barriers that keep animals off the highway, so they don’t become roadkill. These barriers must also keep the dull shriek of the highway within its boundaries.”

Hasnain says:

“It might seem insane to take a bet on inexperienced people, especially in the context of hiring them to work at a company in our current layoff-heavy market. I certainly don’t suggest populating an entire company with this type of person. But every great high growth company needs at least some high potential and unconventional people. Transformative companies need people to 1) do something crazy, time consuming, and novel without the burden of too much past experience and yet 2) have enough wisdom and experience to distinguish the special sauce of the business from the actually destructive craziness. It’s easier to find and evaluate the experienced folks who can do the latter thing. It’s almost impossible to find the right inexperienced ones to do the former, who are inventive and original and yet also disciplined. They don’t have any obvious past experience that helps you figure out how special they are.”

Hasnain says:

““The majority of news since the war began, regardless of how accurate the initial reporting, has been skewed by a systemic and institutional bias within the network toward Israel,” said one CNN staffer. “Ultimately, CNN’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war amounts to journalistic malpractice.””

Hasnain says:

“Gartner’s Jessen said companies that aren’t thoughtful about strict mandates should be prepared to lose top talent, millennial and female workers. Instead, employers should do a cost-benefit analysis from employees’ perspective, she said, adding that employees want to feel capable, autonomous and connected.”

Hasnain says:

““We do not know what more Secretary Blinken or President Biden need to hear or see to compel them to end their complicity in this genocide,” the letter from Palestinian leaders on Thursday said. “They show us every day whose lives they value and whose lives they consider disposable. We will not be attending this discussion which can only amount to a box-ticking exercise. Our families, our community and all Palestinians deserve better.””

Hasnain says:

And we’re already down to 4 members from the original 12. Sigh. This is further evidence of genocidal acts (starving a population).

“The Israeli intelligence documents make several claims that Sky News has not seen proof of and many of the claims, even if true, do not directly implicate UNRWA.”

Hasnain says:

“That plan had offered Musk the chance to secure 12 tranches of Tesla stock options, which would vest if the company’s market capitalization increased by $50 billion and Tesla achieved a revenue target.

“Was the richest person in the world overpaid?” asked McCormick in her decision.

“The stockholder plaintiff in this derivative lawsuit says so. He claims that Tesla, Inc.’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by awarding Elon Musk a performance-based equity-compensation plan.””

Hasnain says:

Memory safety vulnerabilities always have fun write ups.

“Last-minute note: in December 1997 Solar Designer published information
about a very similar vulnerability in the vsyslog() of the old Linux
libc”
