Before: it's no big deal, how likely is is that someone could compromise RDRAND without anyone noticing After: what's the big fuss, everyone who counts already treats RDRAND as compromised

Why does this always happen with stories like this one?



Possibly because almost every single post like this brings out the same apologists. The same apologists get voted sky high.

The proper question is how do the same apologists get voted to the moon and posts such as this get deleted?

We already know of corporate astroturfing. Could that be happening on HN? Nah, unpossible.


Are you suggesting NSAstroturfing?

The government has engaged in that sort of thing before. http://rezn8d.net/2012/10/19/us-defense-contractors-sock-pup...
