Submission + - Leaked Documents Show Cisco Systems' Relationship with Israeli Security State (dropsitenews.com)

Alain Williams writes: Internal documents show Cisco’s growing collaboration with the Israeli military over the course of the genocide in Gaza.
Cisco makes a point of publicly highlighting its commitment to corporate social responsibility, and building “an inclusive future for all” in the dozens of countries around the world in which it operates.

Comment What when something breaks ? (Score 1) 162

In a data center the repair tech needs to walk past a few racks to replace what is broken.

Comment What is the purpose of it all ? (Score 1) 69

Hosting a web site costs money, using an AI to do something costs money. What is the reward for spending this money ? I have a feeling that most of it is not what one would call good. Reasons that come to mind:

  • * Spreading a political/similar message or confusing someone else's message
  • * Generate clickbait to earn money from Google/...
  • * Persuade people to buy something which might be real or a scam

There must be more that I cannot think of now. What do you think ?

Comment Standard location for 'absolute' time measurement (Score 4, Interesting) 19

With highly accurate time measurement the location matters as there is one environmental factor that cannot be shielded: gravity. So depending how far you are in the earth's gravity well time will flow at different speeds. So: is there a standard position or do we just accept that these clocks will measure slightly different times ?

This does not matter for almost all of us, it will not affect my decision as to when I eat my breakfast - I will not notice.

What's your plan? Make them turn it all over to a financial advisor? I'm not clear how that would completely eliminate the issue.

In England senior members of the government must put their stocks into a Blind Trust. While not perfect this goes a long way to avoiding insider trading.
