It depends on whether it's an attack against HVM hypervisors or not.

If it, like it seems, is just an attack on OS kernels and PV hypervisors, you can simply turn off the mitigation, since nowadays kernel security is mostly useless (and Linux is likely full of exploitable bugs anyway, so memory protection doesn't really do that much other that protecting against accidental crashes, which isn't changed by this).

Even if it's an attack against hypervisors any large deployment can simply use reserved machines and it won't have a significant cost.

Presumably, for a certain important class of application, CPU is not used "densely", i.e. continually. Instead it's used intermittently, like a gas rather than a solid... Hence compressibility. Such applications are far from being CPU-bound, in other words.
My hot take is that we will see a Mirai / qbot variant targeting consumer laptops and VPSs very, very soon with this exploit. Could cause a lot more trouble than baby monitors.

The malnourishment problem is seen out in the provinces, maybe, still. In the city it's not a problem. Kids get enough to eat these days, and you can see the height difference between the under-20's and the over-30's, it's significant.

My Khmer tutor is a skinny 28-year old who has eaten white rice four times a day for her entire life. She's kinda typical here.

It's possible it's down to parasites. Foreigners routinely get amoebic dysentery here, but the locals don't. I have no idea how you build up an immunity to amoebas, maybe you just get used to them.
My experience disagrees. There were 3 albums I used to yearn for and they have all of them. Nothing I've ever tried listening to is missing or has gone missing. I listen probably about 8 hours a day on average and have never hit a limit. I also didn't have to register a Facebook account.

It sounds like you're not a paying customer and go to great efforts to remain a non-paying customer. I'm not sure why they should be prioritizing your use case.
If the virtual metric is tied to real performance then it could mean a drop in performance while maintaining the same power rating... It will be interesting to see if vendors directly address this.
While I tend to agree with this, I think a counterargument is: long functions mean more local variables that are in scope. This makes it harder to understand the interaction between different variables at different scopes. A separate function introduces a separate namespace, and all the data flow in and out has to be explicit, through function parameters/returns.
On the other hand, if a fully broken bone isn't set properly, then you are stuck with a permanently bent limb anyway.

I think what people in Europe don't appreciate about American healthcare is that the quality of care is a bi-modal (or maybe even more than 2 modes) distribution where a very large fraction of the population does in fact have the best access and quality of care in the world. On the other hand, there is a significant fraction of the population that has a lower overall access and quality of care. It is not irrational for the 40% to 70% (the fractions are debatable) of the population to not want to reduce their quality of care to average European care, which is in fact a lower standard for them.

Woah now, let's not make any wild leaps here.

The Roman Empire was fantastically multicultural at its high points and its low. The United States has never been homogeneous, no matter where in its history you find yourself -- the low or the high points.

In fact, I (and many others) would argue that a lot of the meteoric rise of the United States occurred on the backs of labor that did not match the current ideals of those far enough right to want a homogeneous United States -- whether it was black slavery, cheap Chinese labor, late 19th century immigration towards the American Dream...

There is more to the equation than homogeneity is what I am saying here.

I’m pretty sure that’s incorrect. I haven’t had time to look through the text yet but it sounds like you’re confusing the one-shot equilibrium (1/3 probability of playing any one of the three available strategies), each deploying simultaneously, and the iterated game scenario (in which one player could be random, and you argue the other could continually play the same strategy repeatedly, but then the other player would latch on and play the matching countermove, pushing them both back towards randomness).

EDIT: It’s not nice to vote people down just because they politely point out you’re demonstrably wrong.

I have two kids (<10 years old) who have little to no restrictions on screen toys. My router disables the internet on their devices (iPads, kindles, 3dses, Roku in bedroom) at 7pm on school nights, and there is a strict no-screens policy after bedtime at 8pm, but other than that we don't really monitor or restrict.

Quite often spontaneously, and on occasions where we take away screens as a punishment, they engage in the same kind of collaborative/imaginitive play with physical objects together. I'm probably equally biased to you, but I don't feel that having access to screen has in any way impaired or diminished their ability or desire to engage in that kind of play together, while at the same time preparing them for a future in which screens and computer/internet literacy is going to be a supremely important skill to have.

Sure has helped most of the artists I know, who would never be lucky enough/know the right people to be among the chosen elite that got to participate in the record system.

Price transparency doesn't help when you don't realistically have a choice. If I'm going to ER or taking an ambulance I can't check prices to decide what hospital to go to. If I'm in hospital and need surgery I can hardly decide to change hospital because their surgery is cheaper. When my I discover on my bill that my doc consulted with an expensive expert, it's too late for me to ask her to use a cheaper one.

Hospital's aren't like grocery stores.
> The structural core of feminist argument patterns is

...also not germane to the present discussion, though it perhaps is relevant to some post far uphtread or off to the side somewhere.

A company adopting a policy of hiring only women for technical positions is a bright line violation of federal (and, in California, also state) employment law. The fact a number of industries that aren't tech are nearly exclusively female (largely because of applicant patterns) does not change this. The fact that some industries are male dominated, in part for similar reasons, really has nothing at all do with this one way or the other. The nature of feminist argument patterns is even more completely irrelevant.
It depends on the person not the neighborhood.

That's not an equilibrium; as soon as one player deviates from a true 1/3 random strategy, the other player has a theoretical ability to punish.

But note the relationship between computation and exploitation here: if the deviating player makes its deviation difficult to detect (e.g. using a PRNG stream cipher, which is completely deterministic but may look random), then the cost of making good predictions to take advantage of the deviation may exceed the payoff.

> Personally, I think it's when an EV can make a 9-hour drive without needing more than about 30 minutes of total charging.

The Model S 100D can almost do that already: start in your garage with a 100% charge, drive 300 miles, recharge 80% in 40 minutes, drive another 240 miles. Under ideal conditions it can even achieve it (the EPA range being 335 miles).

Current Superchargers can put out 145 kW, but the cars can only accept 120 kW. So the network already has some future-proofing for when the chemistry catches up.

Of course the old goalpost used to be 300 miles without charging. I have no doubt it will move yet again, and "24 hours of driving with only 5 minutes of charging" will become the new benchmark for practicality. :p

So he was thrilled to have someone to listen to his concerns about the treatment business.

Until I moved to New York, I had no idea what hedge fund people generally did, or how much of their work and skillset was similar to what investigative journalists did, especially when it came to looking at public records and lawsuits.

What you pointed out is a very astute answer, but comes from a creationist perspective rather than an evolutionary perspective. His main answer is:

> Firstly, fully reduced (oxidation state 0) metal has a high energetic cost to create in reduced form.

Basically, it takes a ton of energy to make steel. We are literally burning gigagallons of over a billions years worth of pressurized organic matter to have made all of the steel we have made in the past century and a half or so. We could make a super inaccurate but somewhat plausible estimation that we have used something like 150 million years worth of the entire earth's lifeforms at the time's dead bodies and converted that into 150 years worth of steel. So if my orders of magnitude are correct...it would be something like a million times more difficult energy-wise for an organisms to create steel from scratch than calcium-based hardened material.

That's assuming we have burned through 15% of a billion years worth of oil from bacteria, that 100% of the bacteria converted into oil and then converted directly into steel, and that there was only a billion years of bacteria to oil creation. I am sure these numbers are off, but maybe that means it's only 100,000 times or 10 million times more difficult for organisms to make steel rather than bones.
I agree that my choice of words implies everyone is- and that is not true.

What I saw in government was a lot of dead weight adding little value and taking home paychecks, being carried by a small group of people working their asses off to keep everything afloat. The dead weight couldn't be fired short of them doing something crazy, like sneaking into the office over the weekend and drinking half the wine set aside for the Christmas party (so the story went of the only guy who got fired from that office). The heavy lifters felt unable to even take a vacation because they know nothing would get done if they left- example, a boss I had who wasn't sure she could go to her sister's wedding in Jamaica for two weeks because the office wouldn't manage without her.

My own wife is an engineer in municipal government. She's a superhero as far as I can tell. The dead weight on her team can't be fired, and she does many times the work they do for a smaller salary- they've been here longer, you see, so they make more money.

Perhaps my perspective on public sector jobs is skewed, but I've yet to hear a compelling reason I would want to have one.

He successfully read from kernel memory, the first two bytes from the syscall table to be precise. The first entry is sys_read (on x86-64 anyway) and the first field is the address. That's why he shows the full address in the next line; the PoC exploit read the lower 2 bytes of that address.
I think any reasonable observer is impressed by what he's done and optimistic about even some of his more outlandish claims.
