Directly from Entrust: "Yes, there has been ongoing internal discussion and reflection on the issues found in this and other incidents, which has led to the action items described previously and ongoing changes, including the decision to revoke the certificates affected by this bug. Exceptional circumstances would need to be provided and justified by the Subscribers. Given the nature of the feedback we have received to date, we doubt that the community has any real interest in anything that Entrust could suggest, except to use against Entrust in a destructive, not constructive, way. We therefore would like more explicit and clear guidelines or a definition of “exceptional circumstances” to be adopted and applied equally to all CAs, perhaps through updates in the CA/B Forum requirements."

The video introduces us to Alex, a 13-year-old in 1997, who is Hispanic and living with his dad and stepmom. At this point in his life, Alex's family has a net worth of just $2,000, and his parents are not particularly supportive or involved in his life. Despite these challenges, Alex expresses a sense of optimism about his future. This optimism is shared by many teenagers, as evidenced by a survey from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, which includes 9,000 participants followed from their adolescent years into adulthood.

The video then shifts to highlight the importance of childhood experiences, as research by Vincent Fidi published in 1998 would later reveal. This research indicates that traumatic and stressful events during childhood can have profound, lifelong effects on an individual's health, relationships, financial security, and overall well-being. The video follows 400 of these survey participants, focusing on those with uninvolved parents, those who have been bullied, and those growing up in risky home environments. It tracks adverse experiences such as parental drug use, being held back or suspended from school, and witnessing violence.

By 2001, the participants are in their senior year of high school. The video examines the adverse experiences these students have faced, noting that Black and Hispanic youths are disproportionately represented among those who have experienced multiple negative events. These experiences often correlate with academic performance; students who face more adversity tend to struggle more in the classroom. The video also introduces the concept of "emerging adulthood" as a period between childhood and adulthood, during which college can provide a supportive environment for young adults to navigate this transition.

By 2010, some participants have completed a four-year college degree, with a clear trend showing that those who had fewer adverse experiences in childhood are more likely to have attended college. The video also highlights the financial struggles of those from less privileged backgrounds, many of whom are still grappling with the economic implications of their challenging upbringings.

In 2021, the long-term impact of childhood adversity is starkly evident. The participants' life outcomes, including income levels, health issues, and overall happiness, show a direct correlation with the adverse experiences they faced as children. Alex, whose story we have followed, is now 37 years old, living with his partner and two kids. He has struggled with his weight and health throughout his adult life, and his annual income remains around $20,000. The video concludes by emphasizing that the circumstances of our youth significantly shape our lives and that systemic factors play a significant role in individual outcomes. It calls into question the blame placed on individuals for their life circumstances and suggests that the collective responsibility to support young people is essential for breaking cycles of adversity.

Intel Pentium D Extreme 965: The Ultimate Netburst CPU

The Intel Pentium D Extreme 965, launched in March 2006, was the pinnacle of Intel's infamous Netburst architecture. The Netburst architecture, introduced in 2000 with the Pentium 4, aimed to push clock speeds higher by deepening the pipeline. While initially successful with the Northwood generation, the subsequent Prescott chips struggled with heat and performance issues despite their 31-stage pipeline.

To compete with AMD's Athlon X2 dual-core processors, Intel hastily fused two Prescott Pentium 4 dies together, creating the Pentium D. The Pentium D Extreme 965, the ultimate Netburst CPU, featured two cores with hyperthreading at 3.73 GHz, a 1066 MT/s front-side bus, and 4 MB of L2 cache.

To test the Pentium D Extreme 965's capabilities, it was paired with an Asus P5 Pro motherboard, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, a Scythe Mugen cooler, a SATA 3 SSD, a GTX 1060 GPU, and a Corsair RM 1000x power supply. The setup ran smoothly on Windows 10, and overclocking the CPU to 4.6 GHz yielded a nearly 23% performance increase.

In synthetic benchmarks, the overclocked Pentium D Extreme 965 performed well against older CPUs like the Pentium Core 2 Duo but struggled to match the quad-core Core 2 Quad QX6700. Daily tasks such as browsing, office work, and even 1080p video editing in DaVinci Resolve were surprisingly snappy, likely aided by the 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. YouTube playback was smooth at 1080p 60 FPS and watchable at 1440p 60 FPS.

Gaming performance was impressive for an 18-year-old CPU. Battlefield 5's 64-player multiplayer ran at 10-12 FPS, GTA 5 at 20-25 FPS, Rise of the Tomb Raider at 23 FPS, and Doom 2016 at over 40 FPS using the Vulkan API.

Power draw at stock speeds was around 93 watts, lower than the 130-watt TDP. Overclocking to 4.6 GHz increased power draw to over 160 watts, while undervolting at stock speeds reduced it to a frugal 63 watts.

In conclusion, the Pentium D Extreme 965, while outclassed by its successor, the Core 2 Quad QX6700, still managed to deliver decent performance in modern tasks and games, especially when overclocked. It stands as a testament to the best of Intel's worst architecture and showcases the potential of Netburst when pushed to its limits.

Key points: 15% of scooter riders who seek medical attention have a traumatic brain injury. This doesn't include those transported by EMS. 63% of injured riders had ridden an scooter 9 or more times before.

Perhaps e-scooters are safe in some markets, but in many they are a death trap that the vendors will never have to pay for.
