> As video content gets older it usually gets watched less, becomes cheaper and gets re-aired everywhere it can.

That has been the traditional behavior in scheduled broadcasting, but I'd wager that the lifespan of shows is significantly extended when they are available on-demand. In general, there are probably a lot of social shifts/effects related to video consumption that appeared with Netflix for the first time (e.g. binge watching), each with their own economic effects.

> says their current course of action (working with key stakeholders)

"Working with key stakeholders" is not stating your course of action. At best, it is stating you are taking any action at all. I suppose that it is good that Intel has faith the stakeholders they are talking to are the important ones.

>That's your good mental health right there. That's worth a fortune. I'd never threaten to walk out on a job like that.

I used to think that way, but in general, the situation will change. You can have a this awesome job for N years, and then management can change and you'll be miserable.

I think it's always better to be in a position where you know you can easily move if things go south. If your current awesome job is also making you grow, then great! If, however, it's too comfortable and you cannot differentiate yourself well, you will not be able to move easily once things go south.
> Quoting ARM and AMD is really a bit pathetic too, IMHO, especially if it turns out that AMD chips are immune to the flaw.

The official fix for this in the Linux kernel has a comment that literally says to assume all x86 processors suffer from the same issue and will disable KPTI for all x86 processors, including AMD.

There's an AMD-specific patch that I saw floating around that keeps the setting enabled for AMD processors, but I'm not sure if it made it into the mainline.

This line irked me, what has society become when cu*ts can lie to your face knowing full well that they're full of shit, and that you know this fact as well, but the also know you won't challenge them?
An appeal to authority is no way to justify your argument. The fact is, a truly random distribution is fair, and no eminent mind in this century or any other will ever disprove that. Whether it’s perceived as fair, is a different story. It seems that the lower one’s chance of winning, the more unfair they perceive the lottery. That does not mean it’s unfair, it means they don’t understand fairness.
It was an AMD engineer, and he referred to specific details about a microarchitecture bug that seems to be important in this attack. So we are really being asked to believe that Intel's PR team knows more about AMD's microarchitecture than AMD's engineers (or that AMD's engineers are secret PR agents).
> Do you use fascist techniques like criminalizing speech to stop the spread of fascist ideas? Or do you simply hope fascist ideas don't take hold?

Unjust as in not justified on a rational economic basis.

Lotteries may be "fair" as you describe them but they would be an irrational way to distribute resources on a broad scale.

For instance, if your salary each month were a random amount taken out of a general pool distributed by your employer you would only want to stay in your job if you were a really low productivity worker with no other opportunities and would be desperately seeking alternative employment otherwise.
I’m not a very proficient programmer/developer, so please bear with me. I’m intrigued by your reference to trading off greater memory footprint in exchange for diminishing performance by less. I'm trying to understand how this would work in practice: do you envision ‘padding’ the critical data structures with more empty or randomised buffer zones? Wouldn't that incur an additional penalty for the data transfer (Von Neumann bottleneck)? Would blank data be sufficient or would there be some additional kind of memory effect in the DRAM/SRAM that would demand using randomised data overwrites? How would you generate that random data?

(I apologise if this is blindingly obvious for somebody well versed in low-level programming.)

Which makes sense - when you're dealing with that much money, (and working in an environment where lying and sweeping things under the rug are viewed as valuable skills) it's irresponsible NOT to go and see what's going on with your own eyes, or to employ some third party to do so for you.

What you're describing sounds like xenophobia to me, not racism.
This is not true; as in, racism has a clear dictionary definition as "Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior."

A single New York subway train can carry 1000-2000 people and might carry 2500 at rush hour.

There are ~14000 licensed taxis in New York. So all of the taxis in New York could carry the equivalent of 5.6 trains.
Any given subway line has about 15 trains per hour and there are 25 or so subway lines. So you could assume there's maybe 350 trains running at any given time vs. 5.6 train-equivalents in taxi space.

So unless self-driving pods can somehow squeeze together 60 times
more densely than taxis as well as not need to deal with crosswalks or traffic lights, the subway has a rather large advantage here.

No way to ask for permission or turn the blocking off?
China has a lot of capital and the blocking of sales for national security reasons should theoretically put downward pressure on valuations due to reduced demand for certain US assets. However blocking sales for national security reasons is nothing new, and just "the way it is" for now. Would be great if our relationship with China was as strong as our relationship has traditionally been with countries like the UK and France.

I personally wouldn't trust anything that Malcolm Gladwell says on the face of it. He has through out his books used anecdotes as proof, and often cites correlation as causation. He spins a great yarn, but that's all it is.
>Your value is what you earn for your company.

I think people are getting bogged down by the word "value". Let's use "negotiating leverage" instead. For salary negotiations, what matters is your alternatives.

They are already getting that value that you define out of you. If they pay you half, the value you provide is still the same. The question is "Are you going to keep working for them, or do you have better options?"

The number that matters is the difference between what you can get elsewhere, and the value you provide.
I mean that at least relatively speaking, nobody[1] uses OpenPGP for messaging, so it's not a threat to Signal's market share. Which is presumably the implied motive for Moxie to trash talk OpenPGP.

[1] I can admittedly think of two people I know for whom I could probably find public keys and who would probably be able to decrypt a PGP'ed email if I were to send them one, but they're both Debian maintainers who I met via IRC. Whereas I have maybe a couple of hundred people on my phone from various walks of life I could send Signal messages to with literally no extra effort.
I don't know if it's possible to see who contributed that patch (yet), but I’m cynical enough to half-expect that the “assume all x86 processors are insecure” patch might come from an Intel engineer...

If the general consensus that it's a timing attack related to speculative execution is correct, then Intel is correct to say that --- any CPU which does speculative execution in the aggressive manner that (most of --- AFAIK they still have some low-power non-OoO cores) Intels' do will be affected similarly.

Germany does have a good record with the former considering that they've completely denazified themselves while remaining a liberal democracy.

The fact is that Germany is the perfect counterpoint to the, frankly tired, slippery slope arguments made by the libertarians of Silicon Valley. And I enjoy seeing them try to explain it.
If they believe it's not a threat, why the haste from the Kernel devs to fix KAISER?
Having an opinion is not, and cannot be outlawed. _Expressing_ these opinions out loud in a public forum, however, is a different matter. Hate speech (with its various definitions) is actually outlawed in many places around the world.
Note that the postgres benchmark numbers passed around (most based on my benchmarks) are readonly. For write based workloads the overhead is likely going to be much smaller in nearly all cases, there's just more independent workload. The overhead in the readonly load profiles comes near entirely from the synchronous client<->server communication, if you can avoid that for workloads (using pipelining, other batching techniques) the overhead's going to be smaller.

Racism: can make people fear for their lives.

Multiculturalism: can make people fear for their lives.

People are only allowed to express their fears about one of those issues, and the government decides which of those fears is valid. This is despite the fact that both racism and multiculturalism can make people fear for their lives. That's utterly dystopian.

In general with social media moderating, I'm very much against harassment but I believe people should be able to freely express their beliefs. If you're not following a person who you disagree with, what does it hurt?

Customer ignoring inferior products is very effective, it literally drives companies out of business every day. It's just usually not described as "boycott". What you are reffering to are instances where some individuals believe that it would be beneficial to boycott something, but they are unable to get wider public to share their view.

Don't get me wrong - I see your point, but in order for this "ad tax" to be legitimate in my eyes it would need to be an actual issue discussed before the elections. If your elected officials declared, that their priority will be to introduce advertisement tax and they won the election with this promise then I'd accept it as a reasonable action. (but I still believe that it might be easier to just ignore all overly ad-ridden products and wait for ad-free alternative)

For TV you can pay for ad-free experience (like HBO), this option is comming to online services as well (youtube red). I feel that this process is more efficient and faster way to eventually get echo like service that won't sell it's users as a product.
That's probably a more accurate interpretation, but the wording is maddeningly ambiguous... just the fact that we can sit here and posit such wildly divergent interpretations is testament to how utterly woolly the statement itself is.

That's obviously stupid. But it's day two, and Twitter is likely to get their procedures in order, just like they (and Facebook etc) have previously done when implementing their own content policies.

The law applies only to a narrowly defined class of hate speech. Statements that fall under the definition have always been illegal. People always ran the risk of prosecution when calling for genocide etc.

As such, nobody's freedom of speech is more limited today than it was a week ago. What the law tries to accomplish is similar to the DMCA, i. e. to force companies to take steps to address criminal activity on their platforms when such is reported.

I know there are many who disagree with laws limiting hate speech. But this is not that debate.

Here is what the NYT omits from its "reporting": the NYT makes millions of dollars selling "tourism packages" to people who visit Iran, in cahoots with the current tyrants there [1]; their local "journalist" Thomas Erdbrink would be thrown in jail if he wrote anything close to the truth about the protests and the theocracy.

There is a reason the Washington Post no longer has a reporter based in Iran: the last one spent 18 months in jail there. [2]

Honestly, you're just being obtuse and incredibly disrespectful. These people literally dedicated their lives to studying fairness, economics, and social theory.
Fair enough question I suppose. I am a millennial, and I think many of our generation, and especially the younger generation are afraid of having more than say two or three kids, if they plan on having kids. This is certainly reasonable given the economic challenges we face and most principal among those housing costs. Short answer: We are punks I guess, we didn't want to let any of those economic factors dictate what size family we could have. Our condo is 1400 square ft., and costs exactly half what a 1200 square ft. house costs. In general, people I think way overvalue the quintessential American home. Parks and malls are free and work great, and it's nice to get out of the house more often. We live 1.2 miles from the beach, another great resource made possible for us only because of the decision to live in a condo. For us it made sense and it works great. We wanted a bigger family and we just did it, no regrets.
If Netflix went to in-house only, then they could significantly (I assume) drop the price. Part of Netflix's big expense is licensing content. If all of the major players are pulling content, then the licensing costs for all of that content disappears as well.
