Yeah, I saw the PoC in the Spectre paper, but I was wondering if a JVM language could meet those reqs.

I have absolutely no idea if using the JVM would for example, mess with the required precision since I'm guessing one would need to use JNI/JNA to get the timing and that could maybe not be suitable?
One thing to consider with true mesh networking is that each meshed hop halves the available throughput. Wifi is already half duplex so with a large network this can cause noticeable latency and throughput degradation.

It’s like there is more than one attribute that governs attraction, should i publish?
What it does is create a branch in code that is never actually followed, but is executed speculatively by the CPU, which then discards the result. The problem is that even though the result is discarded, computation of the result causes a measurable side effect (specifically, it populates caches accessible to the code).

In short, the speculatively executed branch retrieves a value from a kernel page (that the code shouldn't have access to) - Intel CPUs allow this, but AMD CPUs do not. It then &s the value with 0x01, and then uses the result to calculate and access an address in a page that it DOES have access to.

This results in that address being stored in the TLB (i.e. a cache that stores mapping from virtual to physical memory).

The result of the computation is then discarded, but the address that it calculated is still in TLB. Since there are two possible addresses that could have been cached based on the value of the data in the kernel page, all the code has to do is time the access to each address, and it can discern the value of the bit in the kernel page based on the relative timings.
I can actually sympathize with this. It was the reason I originally began exercising, and I know it helped with that. I don't know how much. I got more committed to meditating over the years and found the returns on meditating to be undeniable. I figure there are many sources and types of depression, and I think lower productivity undermined some of my efforts to fight it.

Best of luck to you!!

just the recent ones. OTOH it may be easier in LEDE/new OpenWrt. I don't have the recent ones so can't confirm or deny.

Posibit is how a number of rec pot shops in WA currently accept credit cards. The gist of it is that you as an individual are buying currency from Posibit, then your currency is transfered to the account of the shop (all off-chain). The shop then sells their BTC (often the moment they receive it) back to Posibit.
This is great! Like other commenters, I disagree with some things, but you can tell a lot of thought and attention went into this. Thank you!

As an aside: it makes me wish there was an easy way to "fork" diagrams like this, and see what others might come up with.

The Intel transition was officially started with 10.4.4, IIRC, and the last version of Mac OS X that PowerPC Macs could run was Leopard. Mac OS X 10.7 dropped Rosetta, meaning all software had to be Intel-only. I know that by OS X all system binaries were Intel only, without a PowerPC slice.
Yea, but having a muscular torso doesn't preclude the male from being intelligent as well.

People look at attraction in too much of a binary way. I would think it's most likely that humans look for both physical and intellectual prowess in their mates. There might at times be a bit of a trade-off between the two, but likely we're trying to optimize for getting as best we can in both categories.

One nitpick: egrep and fgrep are deprecated since a while ago, plus no need to mention them if bare grep is already in the list
So, older versions not fixed? Who is most likely to be running older version? Corporations? Ah, they probably don't care.
Ooooh, I dunno, I might argue that vendors have their role in creating pentesters. ;-)
that is true: popular rl techniques (eg policy gradients) are very similar to "vanilla" supervised learning techniques and architectures, but they are unsupervised in the sense that they required zero human input.

alphago zero is the canonical example of tabula rasa machine learning.
Awesome, thanks for the details.

One of the issues that I saw being discussed on the forums was precisely the lack of a standard format for caveats and even some suggestions to create one.

I think it's a very cool project but for some reason I don't think it has caught on. Do you think if someone came up with a suitable standard built it would see broader use? or what is your take on the lack of interest (IMHO) for this awesome idea?

Edit: Any way I could contact you to discuss this a bit more, if you are open to it? :)
You need to set CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y in 4.11.11 or greater if you have an Intel CPU.
>I remember that router had 16 MiB RAM, and a 125 MHz MIPS CPU

That was the case back then, but newer routers have to be a lot beefier just to handle the throughput of faster net connections.

I've got a WRT1900ACS running OpenWRT/LEDE at home. 1.6GHz dual core and 512MB of RAM, and it's not really even top of the line by today's standards.
Investors in ICOs could see jail time, not just lose capital
I haven't really been able to wrap my head around why large investors with significant profiles are leaping so carelessly into ICOs. The same kinds of VC information games we're all used to take on completely different dimensions of risk with retail investor money on the table.

I hear about large funds out there helping coordinate ICO raises, setting terms and stages for the raise, and obtaining information from the company that they know retail investors don't have. It's basically begging for the SEC to come down like the hand of God once they decide your token is a security. Which it is.

So I wrote a post about it, and would love to hear some ideas on why I might be wrong.

I don't use a state machine library, but I do put all my state in a single object, and define my state transitions as functions which operate on the object. The state is rendered into html using mithril.

I'm not sure what another library would add to this.

For my money, these days, there are two devices/ecosystems that stand head and shoulders above the rest: if you're an open source die-hard/have spare time, the PCEngines APU2 is an excellent AMD+coreboot based router platform that you build yourself. If you're not strict about requiring open source, the Ubiquiti line is amazing. The Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway line in particular, for home or small business, is incredible.

For home, I've got an APU2c4 (http://pcengines.ch/apu2b4.htm), running LEDE. It pushes something near a gigabit pretty easily (and has a the bufferbloat patches!), and I've got the time needed to administer it when necessary.

For my folks, I grabbed an Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway (https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-routing/usg/) and a separate Ubiquiti AP AC Lite. I fired up a controller in the cloud, and now I can manage it remotely if there's ever a problem. It's pretty awesome :).
Really not a fan of the glib condescending style, and then:

> Practically speaking, it will be an impediment to personal-use prosecutions as well to the extent defendants claim they are in business to produce for medical use.

That defense is gonna last right up until the moment you find sales records to any not-strictly-medical distributor, which will be basically every one in legal recreational states. So yes, the door is completely open to federal prosecution of the vast majority of people in the business.
That's probably it. The original S1 was based on the A7 which was in-order. But I can't find information on the S2 onward.
We used "Computer Organization and Design: the Hardware/Software Interface" (also Hennessy and Patterson) as our comp arch textbook.

I'd recommend it (any moderately recent version) for simply learning as well.

Learning the internals of everything between memory and functional CPU subunits is fun (and useful).

And the ideas don't change that quickly (e.g. the TLB and ROBs that were attacked here have been around for decades in similar form). There's only so many clever things you can do when a one bit buffer is expensive.
I've only used Ubiquiti in professional settings (offices) so I don't speak for their "home" solutions, but having used Google WiFi since it came out the advantages over other solutions is one word: simplicity.

I used to have a Netgear setup with a Nighthawk router and repeaters. It took hours of tweaking until the damn thing worked properly. Even after properly setup, performance on the main bedroom was terrible (~6Mbps down, when the living room was doing 120Mbps down consistently.) Handover between APs was terrible too: going from the living room to the bedroom there was a 50/50 chance your device would get "stuck" on the wrong AP. After installing some custom firmware for the router, I managed to improve that (there's a setting for kicking devices once the signal is below a certain threshold) but that was far from trivial. Going from bedroom to living room was even worse, as the repeater was dumb and wouldn't force a disconnect even with super low-signal. I usually had to turn wi-fi off/on on the device to force a reconnect. Let alone the amount of times the repeater would just stop repeating and needed to be unplugged from the wall to come back to life.

Installing 3 Google WiFi APs took me all of ten minutes, performance is excellent across the apartment and I don't have to deal with AP handover. It just works. And it cost about the same money as the original setup cost, with 0 of the aggravation.
Rohrabacher-Farr, as long as it is in effect, is pretty much a complete bar to federal prosecution for in-state actions associated with state-approved medical marijuana activities (both on its face and, because DoJ tried to narrow it in practice and got challenged, this is also fairly well tested in the courts.)

Of course, that's tied to federal spending bills and needs renewed with each new spending authorization, so without timely and full-year budgets it's kind of perpetually at risk of near-term expiration.

I've been using Dlink DIR 860L and it's been working flawlessly with LEDE, 1 gigabit LAN (even NAT'ted), AC wifi. The main advantage of this device is the price (I think it was the cheapest router with gigabit LAN on the market), but now it's gotten a bit old.

I particularly like the QoS features of LEDE.
I don't think the title is representative of the article.

I will try to list the different themes of the article:

1) The author being a woman

2) The author coming from a background with low exposure to programming, making it an unpopular career choice, and not a relevant subject in school.

3) The author did not pursue a higher education program involving programming.

The article focuses more on 2) and 3) rather than 1), which is the title.
What do you think the actual average impact will be?
>> Google infamously got in a ton of trouble for using Java since oracle wanted a slice of that pie.

They sure did, by... being reckless, and possibly stupid. You can use OpenJDK (and bazillions people do), and noone will bother you.

But if you get something trademarked "Java", and then change it to your liking, and you still call it "Java", and release it under trademarked name, then you do deserve the lawsuit & c.
Highly unlikely.

It's not so much about sensitive info residing in the kernel, but that the kernel has an identity mapping of the entire physical memory, Thus if you can read kernel memory, you can dump all ram, where secrets from other processes or virtual guests reside.

I don't know if Minix or Hurd maps all of ram into the kernel address space though (or if they add the kernel address space to each user space processes , as the exploit also requires)

I think it's only Meltdown that the watch isn't affected by.

It sounds like it is potentially affected by Spectre, especially since they say they will be continuing to develop mitigations for WatchOS.

The surprising thing to me is that they patched iOS to mitigate Meltdown. Before now, I thought it was only Intel chips that were affected by Meltdown, but I guess Apple's own A-series processors are affected too.
This is typical media over-reaction to all things Trump. Sessions merely ended Obama's policy, which was to have the local federal prosecutors put marijuana enforcement at the bottom of the priority list, while still keeping prosecutorial discretion. Now they have full discretion. It's really not much of a change. What is needed is for Congress to change the law. There is a bill by Cory Booker to remove marijuana from Schedule 1, essentially leaving it up to the states.
I just started and Syntorial is amazing! The teacher is very talented and the App you use to learn (which he built with funding from a kickstarter) is very good. The demo comes with 22 lessons and I am a lot more confident with creating and re-creating sounds by ear in my DAW.

Their particular exploit for variant 1, which uses eBPF, only worked on AMD with the eBPF JIT, i.e. it did not work with the eBPF interpreter. But there are many other potential avenues to exploit that variant which have nothing to do with BPF. The result does suggest that it may generally be harder to trigger variant 1 on AMD processors (because they doesn't speculate as much?), but harder ≠ impossible.
FB/Google figures here are mostly from the US, but can someone enlighten me on theirs UK offers? Particularly, Google/Dublin and Facebook/London - are they on the same level? Or 1.x less?
The planet where 'having a debate about immigration' and calling for 'the trains [to auschwitz]' for immigrants are two different things.

Additionally, the AfD (who are the ones complaining about censorship all the times) don't actually want to have any debate at all, because they kinda have no content. They just play the fear of the masses and want to display themselfes as victims of the majority or whoever.
same here, I have a 4500 sqft home and I use 3 Ubiquiti AC-Pros (one per floor) and I have excellent performance and coverage. In fact, in my case, two of the APs are on the same floor just that one of them is in my foyer area that is open to the upstairs and this covers the upstairs floors. And before I installed a 3rd one in my basement, I had good basement coverage there and now that I have added one to the basement, the hand offs work seamlessly. I checked and rechecked - I have roughly 15-20 wifi devices from TVs, tablets, phones, kids tablets, chrome cast, fire sticks, and probably some others I can't recall and all my devices appear localized to the nearest AP and roaming, typically with my phone and tablet, works pretty well.
All of these claims have been filed under penalty of perjury.

There has to be a reason for why not a single copyright troll has been prosecuted for it.
Manually overlaying all the frames seems tedious. I wonder if it somehow helps make the edges and background more natural. I once made a simple motion detecting video recorder with OpenCV which generated the same type of images automatically. Overlaying only the moving objects on the static background.
Actually it is good. They are already under constant surveillance - just not from someone with their best interests at heart.

Actually this idea is far lower down my priority tree than say working out how to monitor how much TV we watch, how much time on social media (or HN) - and then to compare to things we would prefer to do like walking the dog or playing board games.

Just inventorying our lives will be a huge step towards getting conscious control over the mass distraction world we live in.

Further ranting:

No one thinks having a comprehensive view on my monetary spend is a bad idea - websites, apps and even EU directives are trying to help. but there is nought for my time spend - apart from stupid things like please enter how much time you just spent on an activity.

So as a starting list i want

- To know what the TV was showing when.

- What netflix was showing on what device

- what youtube was showing

- for my phone - what podcasts, what youtube etc,

- same for social media (HN counts for me)

- The Nintendo Switch kinda sorta gets it - there is a parent app that lets one set time limits on daily usage. but hahahahha it assumes you only have one child (per switch)

- then use my GPS tag to show where was I and can I correspond that with an activity - gym, commute, walking across fields

- I am fairly sure there is value in Alexa / similar voice monitoring working out what is happening in the house (it takes you on average 34 minutes from the first "get dressed for school" till the door finally bangs)

Don't get me started on MOOPs

And none of which has an API i know about. All because they don't want me to stop watching.

What’s in the actual bill?
Any set of dual-band routers with repeater functionality on all but the main node will give you very good wifi coverage. I picked up some dirt cheap (like $20) ASUS AC1200 and N53/56 routers, with the latter being repeaters on separate channels. They will all run OpenWRT, once they're old enough. Not sure if you can say the same about Ubiquity or Eero.

It would be silly if actual human file these claims so the claims are very likely to be filed by some algorithm, which somehow found matching pattern in the noise.

Maybe:

1) Some copyrighted music has a period of noise that closely matched the segment of noise of the video.

2) There is adversarial pattern in the noise in the video that confused the hunting algorithm.
The other thing is that it is not necessary to be in the same process for this: you could in theory have one process do the access (which gets killed) and then observe the cache result in another process.
That's the stupidest straw man I've heard in a while. The argument was not, "why should we allow it? I don't want to live in that kind of housing!" The argument is that that kind of housing affects the housing around it by increasing noise, traffic, blocking out the sky, etc., and has its own set of problems (increased likelihood of spreading disease when people live more closely together, for example). We can argue the merits of any given argument, but you've just made up an argument to argue against and it's completely false.
To be perfectly honest, I'm probably going to spend the rest of my life answering question #1.

What I think I know is that the answer changes over time, so you should get comfortable with the idea of always asking yourself the question anyway.

If I have a system that only works because of my tendency to problem solve. Imagine that a friend confided in you that they're having trouble and asked for help figuring it out. What would you ask them? What are your answers to those questions? How would you respond if your friend gave your answers? It's not a panacea, but if you avoid doing this experiment with subjects like employment and romance (we think everyone else should break up and quit their jobs immediately) it kind of works.
It doesn't make sense for speculatively executed code to throw architecturally visible exceptions. The appropriate behavior would be to not perform speculative loads across protection domains (i.e. the behavior of AMD implementations).
