You're still missing the point. There are a lot of hardware vulns out there, I know the majority are not side channels. I'm only talking about side channels here, see: "whole new attack surface". Theres a lot to be said for vendor flaws but that's not what I'm talking about here.

...CPU architecture design students werent taught this stuff until really recently. It's easy for us to call them out, but how are they supposed to know if they weren't taught? Shaming mistakes instead of teaching people how to do better only causes more problems.
I'm shaming the *company*, not the *people*. Intel has more than enough money that they should've cared about this stuff, they should've hired people who could point at things like this and say it's a bad idea.

The problem isn't the people working for Intel, it's that Intel allowed things to get this ridiculous. And usually when things get this ridiculous *someone* notices, and I bet someone did, and I bet someone in management shut them down.

That's a pretty bold statement to be making considering how little we know about the internal operations, and whether or not you think you're shaming the company, they don't care, the people that do care are the engineers there and everywhere else that read what we say.
