"the Product will substantially conform to Intel’s publicly available specifications"

They're saying that it should work as specified for the most part. And apparently the CPUs do, since they've been in continuous use for many years.

Note that they also have this exception:

"… THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: … that the Product will protect against all possible security threats, including intentional misconduct by third parties;"

Which is likely designed to handle issues just like this one.
I still nowadays use a high-frequency, high-contrast, high-resolution 20-years-old CRT for my desktop at home, it works as well as the first day. I laugh at all those retina resolution debates.
They are still sought after by the retro gaming community, although there are many who like the professional studio monitors Sony made (BVM and PVM series) which have a cylindrical tube.

We had a Sony Trinitron and I remember them for being sturdy. Ours survived:

1. An assault with a rock to the screen by my then three year old sister.

2. Over 4000km in a shipping container.

3. Putting a blank x-ray plate to the screen, which apparently created a static shock powerful enough to disable the device(not sure about this one because I was five when I did that).

This isn't about the original vulnerability. It's about the linux kernel disabling the fix patch (and the performance hit) for AMD processors.

For trust badges work, users need to know and trust the brand which is on the badge; coming into this field you really need to show the value to the user as well as to the administrator/designer.
So, as I understand it, the only way to avoid the rather huge performance hit is to use the pti=off switch, in effect opting out of KASLR on any Intel CPU newer than Pentium. Is this correct?
The problem, though, is that a $12 toy drone won't be able to reliably stop even another $12 toy drone, and you need to be able to stop something much bigger and more sophisticated. Because you won't know if what's coming is harmful or a major security threat.

So you might very well look at a $100k drone designed to take out $10k threats being used against a $12 toy because the only way of being sure is to take it out.

Now suddenly an adversary able to send 1000x$12 drones for $12k materials cost could conceivably force you to spend $100m on drones for a single facility.

The problem with that being that your adversary gets to decide where to attack.

That's the nightmare of this: Highly mobile, extremely cheap "attacks" that can be used to massively drive up the needed defense efforts on the off chance that somewhere in a swarm of a 1000 the adversary has hidden a $10k investment in a flying bomb.

A superior budget may win, but this can drive up the budget advantage needed before you have an advantage.
Social mobility is not what "land of opportunity means" it's not meant to be an equal society in the normal sense. It's meant to be a society with opportunities.

With regards to Denmark. When you look a little deeper in the numbers it's not actually true.

Funny, I've used Linux on my desktop/laptop for the last 18 years because I don't have time to fiddle around on my productive machine. As for video calls, I borrowed a Mac once to do a lync video call - it didn't work.

I do now have a MacBook Air, which I got for testing a program I'd written on a real machine. I like the form factor - it's lightweight and fine for basic web browsing, similar to a chromebook.

There's also a fundamental difference between you being cavalier with your money, and me being cavalier with our money.

Being tax payer funded changes accountability, investment horizons, and access to capital. The CEO of Twitter gets to put whoever he wants in wherever, and eats the costs if it works bad, but to ensure responsible fiduciary practices with our collective wealth we, the taxpayers, demand less aggressive and efficient practices to limit corruption and incompetence.

This is a conscious social decision, to move slower and more carefully, and will hopefully be minimized with increasingly robust Civic Tech. Alternative federal structures would historically point towards oligarchies and widespread corruption.

On the contrary. The life expectancy has never been more important: it has never been more important to time the death of a device in such a manner that it hits some generational sweet spot to make the customer buy the same product over and over :-)

My ex works HR in a major bank, and they have scheduled redundancies every 3 months, whether or not things are going well or not. A large part of her job is to reign in managers that create too great legal risks by coming up with total bullshit made up justifications. E.g. they'll come and insist someone isn't "performing" a month after having given said person a glowing annual review and without having tried anything to get them to improve, and it turns out there's been some conflict or other, even though they insist that has nothing to do with it. People can even convince themselves that someone is suddenly totally useless even when the paper trail they themselves has created to demonstrate that the person in fact performs very well is sufficient to get them crushed at tribunal...
A swarm is a swarm - for any biomimetic aggregation. (1) Sure, you may have a specific term for a sepecific type of swarm, but swarm is an umbrella term that covers all aggregations.

Working in this field, I can say that applying common terminology is not as superficial an act as it may seem. There are similarities in the rulesets governing the dynamics of animal collectives irrespective of the working environment, so usong common terms accross disciplines of study helps avoid confusion and also helps identify points of leverage. For example, engineers building biomimetic swarms of seagliders may benefit from studying V-formations of geese, even though you don't often see sealife swimming in a V-formation.

A swarm requires more than one entity whose behavior is directly affected by the behavior of another entity. One of the most fascinating interdisciplinary aspects of swarms, IMO, is the fact that all swarms can be described by Radial Distribution Functions (2), which is also how states of matter can be characterized - in terms of density and lattice structure (and even polarity in extended versions). More amazingly is that, similar to the way matter in different states yields different physical behavior (e.g. between gas, liquid, solid), it's looking more and more like swarms do the same. They may even have predictable state transition points.

I think you need to organize your thoughts before writing an article. The separation of creation from the creator is an interesting topic, but shouldn't be mixed up with a book review in my opinion. I'm also interested what unacceptable behaviour Bob showed, since I only know of his controversial opinions on software engineering.
I've actually been thinking about this, and, on a small scale, it should be possibly with almost no budget (i. e. retrofitting an RC model with solar power, an arduino, GPS/WIFI/Cellular). Some thoughts:

- Submarines aren't great because solar is your best source for power, and you don't want to divide each day to "work" and "rest" because you need to recharge on the surface.

- Electric propulsion will also require some rather substantial solar setup.

For these reasons, I think either "passive" sensors just following the currents, or sailing vessels, are better candidates at first.

There's also the "glider" concept, where you fill/empty a ballast tank and achieve forward momentum by changing depth while having an aerodynamically-shaped hull. I'm wondering if these could also drag a turbine for electric power, but I fear that idea is coming dangerously close to breaking the laws of thermodynamics.

- Satellite internet is, unfortunately, too expensive for anything beyond short status codes / coordinates / commands. It's something like 10 cents for every 80bytes. You'd need to navigate to coastal waters and pick up cellular/wifi signals to transmit the payloads.

You don't even need to get into the science to dislike this article. And I'm not trying to argue against low-carb... I feel better on low-carb diets myself. But this article lays out a couple scientific facts, while shaming the reader into unquestioning agreement by saying, "This is X 101". But then lists a pseudo-scientific premise tied to their third "fact", and tries again to shame the reader into agreement. This is simply a manipulative writing style, and we should be ignoring it, not discussing it.
Trinitron TVs had a legendary near-mythical status in the USSR beginning sometime in the 80s. It was the TV to measure anything by. To the point that "sonytrinitron" was common enough name everyone understood (much like "xerox" or "jeep" became common names over there).
LCDs had much less screen real estate compared to CRTs which could run much higher resolutions. The first generations of LCDs were quite inferior on everything but form factor and power consumption.
You are confusing things here. Incarceration has nothing to do with what we are talking about. No one ever said the US is perfect. We are talking about whether 1) you can apply scandinavian style healthcare to the us (you can't) and whether the US provides more opportunities than other places (it still does)

It's not equal and it's not trying to be equal either.

EU isn't big geographically compared to the US and it's not as sparsely populated as the US is. That's what I mean with big.

Yes, America is the land of opportunity for some. I don't think we were debating obvious truths here.

The point is that America does, in fact, provide much more opportunities. That doesn't mean everyone is going to make it.

That's never been the point about that expression anyway.

The US isn't more selfish if we actually look at how many volunteer in the US that alone would show that it's not that simple.

A friend of mine has one for this reason. He actually manages equipment and medical devices for a company that runs hospitals and was able to get one that one of their hospitals was going to throw away. It’s a really nice display for gaming on a CRT, but, to my eyes, not that much nicer than the Sony Wega he otherwise uses.

They were very sturdy, but not in all situations.

One New Years Eve I was at home and a friend was having a party at his around the corner. He asked if he could borrow my TV which I agreed to, but when he turned up he'd taken far too many pharmaceuticals.

I helped him carry it to his house and was at the front crossing the road when I heard what sounded like a huge explosion. I turned round and he'd dropped the TV, it had imploded, and he was gurning and dancing around it.

Counterpoint from a fellow european. I found americans to not be more selfish, but more appreciative of self-reliance. In europe in most countries the philosophy is that of the nanny state, taking care of its citizens no matter what got them into a care-needing situation. In much of the US there’s much more a perception of responsibility for your own success, with negative individual outcomes being considered a necessary evil linked to personal freedom.

Looking at the stats clearly the US needs a little more nanny state to generate better outcomes for the bottom half of the country. But equally europe needs more appreciation of self-reliance and entrepreneurship to enable a richer startup culture and let the EU become an economic leader instead of follower.

Your comment about religion is incorrect. Americans are very generous: https://givingusa.org/giving-usa-2017-total-charitable-donat.... Conservative Evangelical Churches spend an enormous amount of time and money helping people. For example: The Southern Baptist Convention runs the third largest disaster relief organization in the country behind the Salvation Army (also religious...) and the Red Cross.

I could give lots of other examples. I'm not sure where this perception about religion is coming from. Maybe in Europe the church is largely dead, but that's not true in the US.

I think you misunderstand what Social Mobility is, Wikipedia says it's:

> the movement of individuals, families, households, or other categories of people within or between social strata in a society. It is a change in social status relative to one's current social location within a given society.

Which would be exactly what people would call opportunities. Social mobility is not at all aimed at fixed equality. It's about being provided equal opportunities, for example by having good, free, public education.

In the US, if your parents can't pay for your university degree, you need to either get lucky and get some kind of scholarship or go a couple 100k into debt. This leads to low social mobility, since the rich have a better chance at getting a degree than the poor do.

Or in other words, "I use Debian Stable on my home computer and here's how I've justified it to myself".

If Debian Stable does everything you want out of an operating system, by all means use it, there's no reason not to, but some other people may want to make use of the newer features of Linux and its surrounding ecosystem that aren't available in Debian Stable yet. The idea that Debian Stable is a good choice for all users ignores those with different desired features than the author.

In other words, people have different priorities. If you've found something that works for you, good for you, there's no need to justify it.

This might sound like I'm trolling (honestly not) or trying to seem superior (Again, really not), but I try to simply use long passwords and memorize them. I'm fighting back against what I perceive to be the erosion of memory by my increasing dependence on modern technology. We don't need to remember stuff anymore, we just use this algorithm or that password manager. In the past I've used keepass, and I keep that as a backup for rarely used things, but increasingly I just try to memorise long passwords or pass-phrases for the key services that I use every day. My credentials for google, paypal, amazon, github, dropbox, onedrive, online banking and more are all just memorized rather than stored.
