The distinction I was trying to make was the above commenters thinking that the kernel is now checking page permissions instead of the CPU doing it - IE. Doing privileged checks in software. That's not what's happening, the kernel is just unmapping itself when usercode is run so the kernel can't be seen at all. Then the privileged checks (which are now broken) don't matter because there is no kernel memory to read.

All your points are right though. Page access times will in general be slower because of all the extra TLB flushes, leading to more TLB misses when accessing memory.
Is medical care something people need? That's how you tell if the government needs to provide it or subsidize it -- the market like US politics has schizophrenia which doesn't lead to a terribly efficient mechanism for allocating certain resources - it's great at giving people what they want. The right will come around eventually and maybe it will a little harder since there is a larger population to draw from to form a critical mass of stupidity. You just need to wait for the entrenched living carcasses that have been in the game since the 70's & 80's to die out gradually before anything will really change -- I will bet anything this is why kings and emperors were convinced to drink mercury.

It makes sense for the city to provide fibre and let co-ops, non-profits, and corporations compete for subscribers.

The city shouldn't have to manage the Netflix appliance, for instance.
In terms of importance in interpreting this result, this comment should be the top-voted, top-level comment.
I have read here that the commercial market has competition [0].

> The FDA seems to take the stance that if it's not obviously toxic, conmen can sell anything they can get enough people to believe in.

The agency does not wish to take this position but was required to by an act of congress sponsored by that notable scientist and physician Orrin Hatch. You ask what his medical qualifications are? Campaign $$$ of course (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/21/us/politics/21hatch.html )

Despite this the agency has still managed to come down hard on unsubstantiated medical claims by some homeopathic rip off artists. But basically $25 Bn can fund a lot of laws to hurt the public.
This can't be overstated. Anecdotally, you can feel it just by looking at the city. Downtown Portland isn't really growing in the same way that cities like Austin are (which isn't to say Austin is the poster child for urban growth either).
$15 is expensive! I can cover a 40 mile stretch of land in Tokyo using public transit for about $5. And I'll be supporting a transit company that serves the entire community, instead of an SF startup that is abusing contract workers.

I live right next to BART in the mission, and that doesn't help me when I want to hang out with my friends in the sunset. Even if I'm just going to go to a nearby neighborhood, say the Castro or Hayes Valley, it's just faster to walk than think about taking public transit. I love walking so I don't really mind all that much, but for a major world city, that's kind of ridiculous.
Every app I've installed that wants accessibility access follows the same steps from the comment you replied to. You must explicitly unlock that pane with your password after clicking the lock and then enable the app to have accessibility access.
I was told, years ago, that when you are negotiating salary for a new job, and they say, "Sorry, $x is the most we can offer," you should ask for another week of vacation. At that point it seems (to them) cheap to say No, so you have a relatively good chance of getting it.

I'd think it would apply equally to asking for a raise, though I haven't tried it.
These municipalities are the unsung heroes fighting the good fight. True Champions. I hope it is the catalytic butterfly that ends the telecoms' monopoly and abuse.
True, except for freshwater availability. Denver already has to pipe water in and hope for plenty of snowmelt. Climate changes could impact that.
It was an example, I made that number up. That why I said "might".
Honestly Municipal Broadband should be built out as an Open Access Network[0].

They're currently facing a lot of lobbying from the existing broadband monopolies because they're building direct competition to them, this is an unnecessary fight. Particularly when their ultimate goal is just to get fast high quality internet.

Build it as an OAN instead and let CenturyLink, Comcast, Charter, etc, lease it. But also let new smaller players lease it too. Instead of fighting the big guys, get them onboard with this plan.

The big guys won't LOVE it because they still lose their monopolistic stranglehold, but at least you aren't using public revenue to push them out of the market. You're using public revenue to create a road that any business can use for an equal fee.

In any regard your local citizens get: Faster internet, more choice of ISPs, and perhaps lower prices due to more competition. Let citizens be the "king maker" by choosing their own ISP.

I can safely drink my well water, but it tastes a lot better if I treat it via my RO system.

My well water tests high for nitrates, as a healthy adult this is not a problem, but giving my water to babies will kill them. By only drinking the treated water I make accidents less likely because all my habits are to tell people don't drink the water except for the filtered drinking water.

I can see from your posting history that you are Swedish, so know this better than I, but I went to https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_och_Omega and from what I can make out Sweden uses "A och O", not "från A till Ö".

FWIW, https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_og_omega says it's "A og Å" for Norwegian while https://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_og_omega uses "frå A til Å" for Nynorsk. I assume this is like how in English we can write both (say) "The A to Z of Photography" and "Photography from A to Z".

Perhaps Swedish uses both "A och O" and "från A till Ö"? A DuckDuckGo search for both phrases supports that conjecture, in that both return plenty of Swedish pages.
Right, and guns don't kill people.
If you're writing a web application, i've had a reasonably happy time with tests at the controller level, or perhaps right below. You want an interface where values go in and out that correspond to fairly user-level ideas, but which are still tractable for testing.
I think there's still a chance! SPUR (http://www.spur.org) is one organization trying to move the Bay Area in this direction; maybe people on here know of others. 2017 has seen some promising housing legislation at a state level (like SB-2, SB-3 and SB-35), and I believe there's even more in the pipeline for 2018.
It's definitely broken. It doesn't help that a lot of the cost of hiring is born in externalities - it's difficult to measure the cost of the time spent screening and interviewing and thinking about prospects, or the cost of the extra 15 or 30 or 60 minutes of Googling/reading the codebase/chasing bad ideas that the rest of the team has to do to replace having that knowledge sitting next to them in the form of a person, or the technical debt accrued when the next thing you build is implemented in a slightly worse form than it could be.

The most stereotypically dangerous areas (where you get the stories that drive a lot of the helicopter parenting and such) are also highly stratified and segregated ones. New York, LA, Chicago are known for their high-crime areas, but also have money and cost of living presenting far harder barriers to integrated, multicultural local neighborhoods than anyway in the more-stereotypically-"actively racist" urban southern part of the country.

My 80s/90s childhood was one of "high-trust" ethnic diversity in just such a place, since my family didn't run in the elite, isolated-private-school/gated-suburbs circles. I had friends of every background, and so did most everyone else I knew, it was just how things were, not some liberal hollywood propaganda job. Somewhere like inside-the-perimeter Atlanta isn't perfect by any means, but it's actual diversity seems to make it way less sneakily unintentionally racist than NYC or SF. Or, worse, someone in random-white-person-ville small midwestern town who hears about Chicago gangs in the news.

And now I see a bunch of people online scared of / angry about diversity or its portrayals who seem completely confused by the concept of a boba joint with local latinos, blacks, whites, and asians all as customers in the same shop - cause if a movie portrayed a group like that, you know it would get called out for "SJW brainwashing" - so it seems like the argument is completely backward. The more you actually encounter and interact with people who don't share your ethnicity, the more trust you build. While the more you segregate minorities into clusters of poverty and desperation, the more you'll fear crime and so on.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the effects of taking too much vitamin D, and:

> Recent epidemiologic evidence suggests that there is a narrow range of vitamin D levels in which vascular function is optimized.

Incorporating steel into bones (and, presumably shells) would result in lifeforms that would be very difficult to kill. It may be the case that an ecosystem cannot establish itself if the members' defense mechanisms are too strong. It may be physically impossible to evolve muscles strong enough to crush a steel skull. (Or, at earlier stages, to crush a clam.) Is there not an evolutionary pressure that tempers the establishment of defense mechanisms (such as steel-plate covered creatures) that are too effective?
It is also incredibly shitty to suggest that if a woman is raped she can just get an abortion, problem solved. It is surgery, this another insult to the body, and some women feel strongly that abortion is murder. So the choice becomes "Do I try to spend the rest of my life loving this demon spawn that will be a living, breathing reminder of my rape every day, or do I swallow my morals and commit what I view as baby murder?" Acting like it is no big if a woman is raped and left with such a conundrum sounds just mind-bogglingly callous.
Unless there are other variables at play that contribute to the cost increases of premiums, which, of course, there are.
Show HN: Blockchain “frictionless transaction”
We don't know what the actual bug is yet, or how easy it would be to exploit it. People are speculating that either:

a) It would allow any non-root process to read full memory, including the kernel and other processes, or

b) It would allow one cloud VM to read full memory of other cloud VMs on the same physical machine, or

c) With enough cleverness, it would allow even sandboxed Javascript on a web page to read full memory of the computer that it is running on.
I would submit that if you don't know what your employer finds valuable, then you're already in a dangerous situation!
The point is that if your strategy becomes a known quantity, it can be strictly dominated by your opponent choosing the strategy that wins against it. This would push you both back towards random choice (whether iterated or one-off).

I think the NYT article is already critical of the movement without becoming snarky likes the Ars article:

> (There is no scientific evidence that fluoride is a mind-control drug, but plenty to show that it aids dental health.)

> Talk like Mr. Singh’s disturbs Dr. Donald Hensrud, the director of the Healthy Living Program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. What the raw-water partisans see as dangers, he says, are important safety measures.

> “Without water treatment, there’s acute and then chronic risks,” Dr. Hensrud said, including E. coli bacteria, viruses, parasites and carcinogenic compounds that can be present in untreated water. “There’s evidence all over the world of this, and the reason we don’t have those conditions is because of our very efficient water treatment.”

Admittetly it wouldve been nice if more counter-voices would've been heard even though the purpose of the reader is to acquaint the reader with the movement (assuming - I guess - a certain reasonableness of the reader)

> Even relevant comments in the Linux source are redacted at the moment.

People keep repeating this claim because it sounds dramatic, but I'm not sure it's a fair description. The original source appears to be a single snide tweet from @grsecurity [1] referencing this comment [2].

It's far from obvious that the comment was even "redacted" at all. It seems more likely that "stay tuned" is either a reference to the more detailed comments elsewhere in the patch (in arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c), or a reflection of the fact (which is clearly spelled out in the commit message) that future patches are likely to change the location of the LDT mapping.

I've skimmed through the commit messages and comments from the latest patchset [3] and couldn't find anything else that even hinted at redaction, nor could I find any mention of redactions on the linux-kernel mailing list.

Furthermore, it's worth bearing in mind that @grsecurity has been involved in numerous public feuds with the Linux security folks. So in the absence of concrete evidence, I'm not particularly inclined to assume his tweet was made in good faith.
Ask HN: App Landing Page Generator
Hey Guys,

I've published my first game a few days ago for Android, and I've been looking to have a small website and I was wondering if anyone was aware of a static site generator that can just built a site based on an AppStore listing.

E.g. my app is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkcss.shadesandhues_agameofcolorgradients

There must be a project out there that will just generate a responsive bootstrap site using the logo, images and texts, maybe even based on the colors of the icon/screenshots?

Thanks in advance,

Nick.
Considering the late Intel problems, Apple is going to be even more tempted to design its own CPUs/GPUs for the mac.

I was agreeing with you as I read these replies but then I thought of what would actually happen if Apple Music raised their prices. I think I would stay. All the music and likes/dislikes that it has about me are a pain to move. And also I really value Beats 1 and that is worth the price raise to me alone. So maybe we really are creatures of habit.
>Should we have no intelligence agencies?

Why not? It would get rid of a big excuse for governments to conceal things from their citizens, who supposedly oversee them. If someone in the government needs to find something out, they could always just pay someone to do it on a contract basis.
Ask HN:Is it possible to build cloud based graphics/image editor like photoshop?
I was wondering if it is possible to build a graphics/image editor like adobe photoshop entirely on cloud using the current web technology like javascript/ react. Lets say something on the lines of canva but with feature set of photoshop. It will be great to know if you guys can throw some light on it as to what would be main constraints. Also which photoshop features would be easier to build on web and which would be difficult. Thanks in advance.
Physicists Aim to Classify All Possible Phases of Matter
Which begs the question, since humans have been able to dominate their ecology and competitors to such a massive degree, why didn't our evolution stagnate a long long time ago? The answer, as far as I have read, seems to be that for humans, competition within the species (for sexual opportunities, position in the dominance hierarchy, etc) has been the primary driving force pushing our brains to evolve to the size it is today.

A few sources that support this thesis are the books, "Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny", "The Elephant in the Brain", as well as this paper: https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/5717...
#2 is one of the reasons I'm where I am now - I have a young child, and my wife has been sick a fair amount this year, so a fairly liberal vacation policy has been a godsend.
This seems pretty funny at a glance, but on the other hand there's a really really big elephant in the room today - and that is the state of the American population. Our overall healthfulness has decreased dramatically in just a few decades. The US life expectancy is even in decline. This all correlates with things like the rise of the internet, but the rise of the internet has occurred worldwide whereas the degree of unhealthfulness of the US is something unique in its degree - and that's in a large population. It's easy to blame things look unhealthy food, yet I don't think we have 70% of the population downing Big Macs while treating soda like water in a desert oasis. In either case gluttony is hardly an American exclusive.

I'm not suggesting that it's the water, but I am suggesting that it is not unreasonable to think that something we probably believe is perfectly reasonable or even healthful may be having unforeseen consequences that have yet to be precisely singled out. And so experiments that sound stupid may not be such an awful idea. Penicillin was only accepted long after its discovery. A big part of the reason for that is using a byproduct of blue-green mold to treat vulnerable bacterial infections is something most people intuitively dismissed as idiotic - even after the discoverer presented and published his findings. If there's a market for folks that want to down 'natural' water at a premium, then I think this is a good thing. They get to act as guinea pigs for the whole of society, the guy makes a few bucks, and in the end everybody learns a bit more.
This sounds like me!! Can you pass along a contact I can reach out to?
Just in numbers though, the number of abortions performed in a day probably dwarfs the number of death penalty executions performed in a decade. If you'd agree to outlaw abortions in exchange for outlawing the death penalty, most pro-lifers would probably take that deal in a heartbeat.
