The more pertinent question is whether or not Intel (or AMD or ARM CPU makers) will release a new chip that is out of the box still vulnerable to meltdown or spectre when running unpatched OSes.
Interesting article, but the part about everyone having a common ancestor 3,400 years ago is questionable, at best. Recent studies have shown that some populations have been isolated for 10,000 years or (much) longer, such as aboriginal Australians.

No one has invested effort in packaging up an easy-to-use developer kit for distribution yet.

The hole is there, and publicly known as of today, but nothing a high school script kiddie can trivially leverage for good grades. Yet.

No one is giving out payloads and telling people they can try this at home, and watch it go. Nothing is known to be in a pastebin or git repo at the moment. This doesn’t mean the black market isn’t crafting kits for sale at a high price right now for big game hunting though.

No, there is no macOS 10.12.7 release

https://support.apple.com/downloads/macos

Perhaps you're referring to a release on Dec 6 labeled as "Security Update 2017-002 10.12.6," which does not appear to include the Meltdown patch for Sierra.
Maybe not quite specifically designed, but http://pcengines.ch has great little boards that I've been running OpenWRT on for years and years. I'd never buy a consumer router again.
How about migrating to amd?
Crypto in their hot wallets, or crypto in cold storage?
This is a very fair point - however I think the bigger issue is that there are so many larger entities usually subject to Regulation D that are piling into ICOs as though they have no unusual degree of exposure.

Those are the investors I meant to invoke rather than retail, and they're the ones that usually underpin ICOs to the public at large with big commitments.

I think the SEC is going to view it as a legitimate policy goal to stomp on some of these accredited investors as bad actors, and by doing so scare accredited capital from receiving privileged access while playing alongside Main Street investors.

If that's correct, this would have systemic impacts on the ICO market. So retail investors would be punished by the market, true, but largely because of SEC intervention.
What's your power bill like compared to before you started running a miner?
But does Popper's standard apply to anything in contemporary Germany? Does AfD come even close to "denouncing all argument;". I mean beyond the mere fact that, like all politicians, they like to talk in meaningless ways.

It seems that by the time Popper's argumentkicks in, the offending speech needs to come very close to the "incitement of violence" standard that everyone already agrees is not protected by free speech.

Popper's argument would also have force in brainwashing type situations like the Jonestown cult. But any action taken against such groups can be based in terms of the rights of individual members to hear people other than the preacher, not on the silencing the preacher.

I just wish this company would go away already.
> That sort of presupposes the only way to fix the software is to scrap the entire thing. What if it were possible to add some bug fixes in other parts of the program? (Which is kinda what I've alluded to before—I think we could fix a lot of the 30,000 number without having to scrap the entire thing.)

I am proposing scrapping this single sentence amendment. Or rather not scrapping it but adding a new amendment that is significantly more clear. Something like "Except where allowed by a law passed by congress, citizens shall not have the right to own firearms." Or something significantly longer and better. Then after that's passed, let's enact some specific laws that allow it.

And awesome. Let me know if you want me to shoot you a promo code for the ad-free version of the app.
The Ubiquiti stuff even handles negotiating dark fiber contracts and BGP routing attacks.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase appears to be riddled with similar issues. Good luck. At least you're not the guy whose $800K withdrawal has been pending since 12/22, also with no response from support.
According to the article, the limit is not because Softbank and others were not willing to buy more but because Softbank and others could not buy more.

Presumably because other investors didn't want Softbank to buy too much shares and gain too much control over Uber.

In other words, Softbank bought as much as they possibly could.

6. Package this in such a way that anyone can deploy it, making it eternal and diffuse. Otherwise it’s just going to be one or two people with the feds eating them alive to “make a point” about law and order.
Apple likely to repatriate $200B and potentially buy Netflix
Lots of things hurt. It's not the government's job to make all of those things illegal.
You sound like a lawyer and I don't mean that as a compliment. But alright, if this isn't a flaw, then breaking it wasn't an achievement, certainly quantum computation wouldn't be an achievement - or rather foreseeing and avoiding the consequences isn't, which is easier because of different time scales, but still.
Then he deserves an Oscar and an Emmy.

All this fake fighting for control over company. He certainly had me fooled.
We aren't prioritizing the "aesthetic preference" of the suburbs over the city. We're prioritizing the rights of those who own the real estate in question over those who don't, but live nearby.
The problem is that there are a lot of us trying to get people to take these "completely unlikely" attack vectors seriously. It's like talking to a dog or a wall. Too many humans are hardwired to respond only when confronted with an actual situation. We get frustrated because our "in theory it works..." attacks work in reality eventually and then the rest of the world is all "oh who could have predicted that ____".

We did. We, the people you called "paranoid" while we quietly try to fix things. We're the ones trying to make sure that people don't die when cyber vulnerabilities are exploited by shitty actors.
As I understand it, Flow is to Go as flowtype is to golang. The project should be referred to as Flow in prose, while flowtype is primarily a tag/keyword for searchability.
Too much ego. Not possible
It depends if those cloud sync folders do atomic swaps of the files once they do a sync update or if they update in place as your reading the file. The key is making the 'other computers' dbs readonly from the perspective of the client view rendering app.
If you are going Dell I think the best bet is to try the Precision 5000 series (pretty equal to XPS 15) and 7000 series (heavier and bulkier but you can really spec these things out). I have an XPS 15 (9550) and I really cannot recommend them. Lots of problems.

At least the Precision line is the buisness line which means better support, preinstalled with Linux (so its tested well) and probably from what I have read better tested/built due to being a business line. I like supporting Dell on this venture b/c they are sticking thier neck out a little by even supporting/preinstalling Linux as a big name OEM provider.

The Lenovos are great too, but I wish they would officially support Linux and offer Linux preinstalled as an option so you don't have to pay for Windows.
An aside: what would be a good one to try? My purpose: helping kids (10+) rewrite their Scratch games for the web. So something with a nice clean API for pushing sprites around.
Do you know why it can't be so easy with BIOS or Management Engine?
I'm somehow reminded of Francesco Schettino.

I have precision 5510, the main problem is random shutoffs, I suspect it caused by the overheating of ssd, my laptop hae 1T ssd, and several shutoffs occurs when I copying large number of files(e.g. more than 100GB), but I can't reproduce this when I perform the copy test.
Sessions was a Senator until recently, so, yeah, still on idiots like him.

I don't consume the stuff, by the way, but it's just been a huge win for Oregon. Millions in tax revenue, and the whole industry is now above board, cutting out any actual criminal types, freeing law enforcement resources for real crimes.
Hard to determine if he lost confidence in "his vision" vs "current + future vision".

In his place, having lost direct control, I'd be tempted to cash out early solely because my influence was so diminished. Not because I was 100% sure the new direction wasn't right.

So I can't tell if this is an admission that Uber is over valued, or just a risk management decision around losing more direct control.
nVidia GPUs are pretty easy to get your hands on. Plenty of 1080s from $550 - $600 on NewEgg. AMD GPUs are not as easy to find.
Apple confirms iOS and macOS are vulnerable to “Meltdown” and “Spectre” exploits
Weak. The person or people issuing death threats are idiots, but my guess is that Pai seized upon a probably-not-credible threat as an excuse to avoid being utterly humiliated in a public forum. Accountability is not his style.
I don't like his company, nor him, but he knows about money.

I know is sacreligous to call out a bubble, but this current economy just feels like one.

And yes--I know about the glorious unemployment rate. I also know about the other rate ("able bodied, but aren't working"). Plus--no inflation. Plus--no increase of wages. Plus--a bunch of companies I can't figure out what they actually do.

I wouldn't be suprised if he cashed out of everything.

While poor guys/idiots, like myself, are thinking about putting money back in the market.

I'm not going to put my last few thousand in, but I'm envious of the gains. Whenever I feel like this, the market tanks.

If you amplify almost any recording enough, you can get some form of noise. Any white noise of a sufficient duration is effectively a recording of that one John Cage piece.
I am not sure why you think it is depressing unless you mean what life was like for the vast majority of people before the industrial revolution.

I would really encourage you to read the book, not so much for the hypothesis Clark proposes, but for all the amazing background and data on this topic he provides in a way that is accessible to the layman.
There is always going to be some kind of creative component in actually generating the white noise. And even if you argue that white noise is theoretically uncopyrightable, you have to remember that it is also theoretically impossible to prove that any particular piece of sound is actually truly random.
Yeah, the 3 ports is a limitation :(. One's wired up to the ONT (fibre terminal), one's wired up to another switch, and one's wired up to separate wifi endpoint (an old Mikrotik I had sitting around). I'd like to use a miniPCIe wireless card internally, but figured I can wait on that for a while.

And yeah, I grabbed it from nicegear; they're good people :). They also sell AU/NZ power adapters that fit.
I saw the same thing on my Lenovo laptop: installed the Windows update, the PowerShell scripts said it's missing HW support. Installed a new BIOS update from Lenovo (released two weeks ago, btw), now the PS script says I have the needed HW support and is now protected. So on this laptop, the needed microcode appears to have come from a new BIOS and not via Windows.

I have another Gigabyte MB that I suspect is too old for BIOS updates anymore so I am really hoping that at some point these microcode updates due come through Windows and not just via BIOS updates.
I notice a design trend with these slim notebooks. First time I noticed it was in a Asus and then in XPS - the edges of base of the laptop are shown very thin. But that slimness is just for the visual effect and if you look at the thickness of the base from the cross section you will realise it's actually as thick all across as at is the hinge and the edges were chiseled out 1 inch (or so) towards the middle on all three sides (except from the hinge) just to make the laptop appear thinner than it actually is.

XPS is a great laptop, I have briefly used it at work, but this tactic (marketing design tactic?), at least to me, feels sometime like deceiving. Kinda off-putting. I have also used Thinkpad Carbon in the past and if I remember correctly it was as slim as it looked.
Running or cycling or swimming does it for me, oddly enough.
To be fair, he's the one who stuffed the ships with morality-free sailors, booze, drugs and prostitutes and then acted surprised when his investors questioned his ability to captain.
How do they define "creativity"? Because surely, a specific sample of properly random white noise would have maximum density of unique information (useful or not - but then is a song "useful"? Where's the line?)
What about TRX (Tron)? It is based on an actual use case around digital content.
Some cash? It’s 1.4B. Future generations will have some of that cash.

I think he realizes he’s not going back and what’s the difference between 1.4 or 3B really? Especially given he’ll still have 71% retained.
It was released as Security Update 2017-002 and 2017-005 for Sierra 10.12.6 and El Capitan 10.11.6 respectively, not as point version updates.
The Ice Cream You Are Allowed to Have
I convinced our BA to use git for internal documentation and meeting notes.

VSTS has a similar online text editor for editing and previewing markdown files.

I have a web hook that builds the markdown using mkdocs so we can have a nice web interface for others who do not have edit privileges.

VSTS recently released a wiki feature so I’m considering moving to that instead of mkdocs.

I think people see the value in wikis but it’s hard to sell git to someone who hasn’t used it before.

I’m always interested in this type of workflow but the problem that no one has seemed to solve is the local editing for a draft document for someone who understands markdown but not git.
Ripple seems like a pump and dump scheme to me that will hurt people in 3-6 months. I am actually more excited about Tron/Trx.
The concept of IP is that that there is no concept of IP. Copyright is one thing and that's all that's being discussed here. Everything else that you might call "IP" is different, has different origins, works differently, and is entirely unrelated to trying to determine if someone copied another video deliberately.

We're not saying that some people should be allowed to confuse consumers by trying to pass off their products as someone else's products (those are trademarks) or that people shouldn't disclose all of the details of their inventions in exchange for a short monopoly on those inventions (that's patents), or that anyone should be allowed to say that their sparkling wine was prepared in Champagne, France (that's regional designation).

"IP" is a broad, vague term that describes different laws, with different purposes. Laws that are so different that it hardly makes sense to discuss them in the same breath.
If there are no global, industry-wide incentives to fix this particular, once-in-twenty-years issue, they become the world's largest botnet.

Apple and Google should want old devices to be patched, to avoid teaching consumers that their devices cannot be trusted.
It's not the number that's copyrighted. It's the content that number represents that's copyrighted.
Property rights have limits. You can't open a stinky pig farm or a loud car repair shop on your property. One of the purposes of local government is for local people to band together to set the ground rules for what's allowed in their local community. Within limits of course--people shouldn't be able to exclude based on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

There are lots of communities. If you don't like the rules of one of them, try one of the many others. How is it that residents agreeing they don't want something around is a bad use of the "power of the state," yet coming in and forcing the locals to accept something they don't want around is an acceptable use of the power of the state?
Organizations-as-AIs (both corporations and governments) was brought up in Engines of Creation in the mid-80s. I suppose Drexler got the idea from the MIT AI culture (I don't remember anything specific about corporations, but there was e.g. Hewitt & someone else's "The Scientific Community Metaphor") and Hayek.

The graphic work is good, but the hierarchies are inconsistent and need more work.

This map is vast but it has a lot of important gaps.

Some other things are just inaccurate. e.g: github required for any path. You could use gitlab, bitbucket, gerrit... plenty of good solutions out there.
True. But by cashing out the maximum possible amount, this is far more than a hedge. In your scenario, I would cash out some but would have confidence in the strength of the business that I created... unless I didn't.

In reality, I'm at a loss as to why anyone would join Uber right now. They cannot be still attracting the best talent, especially in the autonomous vehicle space. And I've seen no evidence that the current ride sharing business is defensible, particularly once you account for the equity infusions that subsidize that business.
Where I live, the government's job is to support the will of the people electing them, within constitutional limits.
The issue is with making a particular concrete example of white noise and then claiming that your copyright over that particular example now extends to all white noise.

It'd be like John Cage claiming that, since he 'wrote' c4′33″ (consisting of 4 minutes 33 seconds of silence), any powered-off music-playing device is infringing on his copyright and must pay royalties.
I'm bundling up a lot of the tools that I use for various projects (https://pollygot.com), and I realised that I'm enjoying that process more than the other projects. I would love to make it a full time job, but still need to find out if it's actually valuable to others
So as far as net neutrality goes: it's very vague, in favor of companies like Netflix that want cheap peering(?) at the expense of ISPs (which are acquiring each other, getting huge similar to before Bell was broken up). It's a corporation vs corporation fight

Why aren't ISPs public utilities? These technologies were developed using tax payer money at DARPA, or in government sanctioned monopolies like Bell Labs

I would be interested to hear more about the relationship between South Korea's subsidy of internet and the rise of starcraft and the high tech service economy there
I have a hard time believing all visible public figures in government don’t get death threats literally every day on average, in just the normal course of doing business, at least electronically. This is a pathetically weak excuse.

Genetically there has been more evolution in the last 10,000 years (most of this in the last 5000 years) than in the preceding 500,000. This is tied to the change in environment (hunter-gather to agriculture) and the expansion in the population size.

An accessible book on this topic is the 10,000 Year Explosion [0]. It is a little dated (it is before all the amazing data that has come from sequencing ancient homo DNA), but what it does have is a very good overview of the topic.

Meltdown and Spectre – enterprise action plan
From that video:

"Recently there's been quite a bit of conversation about my plan to restore internet freedom."

Tom Wheeler certainly wasn't a paragon of courage and clarity before he started to feel the pressure to reclassify ISPs under Title II. But before that, I sure don't remember him taking his opponents' own language like "internet freedom" and brazenly applying it to his own position.

Did he ever do anything like that?

Edit: added apostrophe
I used a song, with permission from the artist, on a demo reel and got a copyright claim on YouTube. I was surprised to find that the claim was on behalf of a French band who covered the song and added lyrics to it.
I tried to dispute the claim, but there was no option or possible way to indicate that their match wasn't correct, you could only dispute whether or not you had a license to the track they matched.

In the end I just gave up, and let some French band monetize my video that contained a song written and recorded by my friend's dad. Enjoy the 25 cents you earned!
> I bet most people would have pinned him as the next Jobs

And they would have been absolutely correct. Exactly what happened to Steve Jobs.
Wow. This is bad for Intel. Industry experts have been expressing concerns for this for ten years. Does this open Intel up to possible repercussions?
> only Intel can issue them thus far

I wouldn't bet on that lasting, though. This CCC someone essentially reverse-engineered microcode on 5-10 year old amd processors. I wouldn't be surprised if they figured out how to do it on newer processors and intel processors.
