Re:Dual AMD EPYC 7742 Crushes Quad Intel Xeon 8180M's in Geekbench 4

You are correct that customers that already use both Intel and AMD would likely choose AMD over Intel even with a price difference of 10% if they were deciding on price/performance ratio. However, I think it's likely that AMD is trying to win market share from customers that are currently mostly using Intel. In my humble opinion that strategy is paying off now that more big shops such as Amazon AWS have AMD options.
Re:NEC SJC2 subsea cable will transmit data at 144Tbps

They assume that an average ultra-high definition video requires 25 megabit per second. Their max theoretical capacity is 144Tbps so the math is: 144Tbps/25Mbits = 5760000 (5.76 million simultanious video streams). Their wording might be confusing but their math is correct.

Regulation of cryptography can help investigations but regulation is still a bad idea. A good explanation is something that my ethics professor said. It was something along the lines of "If a pen was used to write orders for the army to start WW2, should pens be banned?". The war would probably happened anyway even if pens were banned/regulated and it is certainly not the cause of the war. Cryptography is very similar: even if it would have been regulated, criminality will not just vanish.
