You want those people specifically. To get them, you need to hire them for a lot more money than you pay your current folks. That causes a lot of resentment with folks and messes up things like salary bands, etc.
But since they own equity in the current company, you can give them a ton of money by buying out that equity/paying acquisition bonuses that are conditional on staying for specific amounts of time, etc. And your current staff doesn't feel left out because "it's an acquisition" the way they would if you just paid some engineers 10x or 100x what you pay them.
Yeah, there's a ton of correctness testing involved. That's mostly at the algorithm, rather than the module level, so it'll fall under CAVP/ACVP rather than CMVP.
That's not for interop, that's for "are you actually doing the crypto you said you'd do". It's designed to prevent broken crypto, not to ensure coordination between parties.
I mean... documenting the details of the investigation to support the first decision and relying on the documented details the second time would easily explain that.
Here, an article (from June 2025) about Chinese buses full of cameras and other sensors driven regularly inside secret Norwegian army bases. Those buses are to be used during a war or a crisis.
I’m arguing that crippled antitrust and anti-consumer practices are part of the problem that led to Chinese buses full of cameras being deployed in western countries.
I’ll go a step further and claim DMCA, anti-reverse engineering and other copyright-protection policies have further crippled the ability of the west to detect and prevent such foreign tech influence.
Nerdsniped: You're describing a IEC 60320 C13 cable - they're technically only spec'd for 10A, which means you're looking at ~1200W, not 1800.
(However, UL will list them for the full 15A -> 1800W, and I'm sure plenty carry that. And for that matter, I suppose you can get twice that in Europe on 240v...)
In 1971 Ray Tomlinson sent the first mail message between two computers on the ARPANET, introducing the now-familiar address syntax with the '@' symbol designating the user's system address.[2][3][4][5] Over a series of RFCs, conventions were refined for sending mail messages over the File Transfer Protocol. Several other email networks developed in the 1970s and expanded subsequently.
Proprietary electronic mail systems began to emerge in the 1970s and early 1980s. IBM developed a primitive in-house solution for office automation over the period 1970–1972, and replaced it with OFS (Office System), providing mail transfer between individuals, in 1974.
I'll continue in the "not an expert" chain, but my understanding is that ITAR's prohibitions include communicating the information to a non-US person (a US person is a citizen or permanent resident), even if that is done on US soil.
I think a large set of dictionary words are likely more user friendly. I think most people will have a lot more confidence on their ability to transcribe words to/from paper more accurately than a bunch of numbers - better built in error correction, etc.
