You will need /etc/passwd file from SGI the disk. Either use irix installation CDs or boot the system over network [1]. You could also try booting openbsd [2] to get your hands to it.

I'm writing this on a XPS 13 and my list of problems is similar.

- Coil whine

- noisy fans

- Computer doesn't shut down(or go to sleep) about 50% of the time. The screen turns off, but the fan stays on and the only way to wake it up again is to hold the power button down. Apparently it's a common issue with them and there's loads of threads about it on the internet with no solution anywhere.
So I have read the meltdown.pdf paper, but I don't quite understand why/how it bypasses the kernel/usermode checks of the pagetable, does anyone have a good explanation ?

Furthermore the paper mentions it is unable to reproduce it on AMD and ARM, but has some suggestions of things to try to make the exploit work. Other sources , including AMD itself, claims not to be vulnerable to meltdown, does anyone know the technical reasons as to why, and what is different compared to Intel cpus ?
Pot seems like a natural fit for cryptocurrency. There's several currencies which are designed specifically for this space (e.g. HempCoin - http://www.hempcoin.org/ - THC). As far as I can tell the weed cryptos seem to be mostly speculative in nature as retailers are dealing in cash as the article states.
In 2006 I would have agreed with all four of these. Today I still agree more than I disagree. (Though I didn't think "urbanization" was something environmentalists generally opposed even at the time; the energy intensity of suburban or exurban living has long been recognized as higher than urban.)

The one I've since rather soured on is nuclear power. It is quite safe enough, certainly safer than continuing to burn fossils. I also think that reactors that are already completed and operating should be used as long as possible. But the dreadful delays and cost overruns with projects to build standardized EPR and AP1000 reactors have convinced me that nuclear is not the "fast, proven, affordable" path to decarbonization that it looked like in 2006. (Inevitably somebody will blame regulations. Note that these reactors are badly behind schedule and over budget in France, Finland, the United States, and China -- everywhere they've been attempted. China has a better track record with its own domestic designs but one reactor still takes nearly 6 years from construction start to commercial operation, slower than any kind of energy project but large scale hydro.)

Renewable generation has since grown in scale and improved its price:performance ratio faster than I thought possible in 2006, solar PV in particular. The intermittency of these newer renewable sources and difficulty of seasonal energy storage means that some additional nuclear may still be required for deep decarbonization, despite its horrendous schedule and budget problems. But new nuclear really doesn't look like the first, fastest, and best way to cut emissions any more.

I bought XPS 15 9550 two years ago, maxed out with specs, and totally regret paying extra for touch screen and the hi-def screen, what a waste of money.

Politically speaking it creates jobs, revenue, taxes, and if it does lower gas prices, then a happy populous. The problem is that it takes about 1-2 years from pre-drill planning, to actual production, refinement, and finally to gasoline.[0]So actual lower at the pump could take that full two years which - again politically speaking - would be perfect timing. Lowering the gas price by .50 cents or more could have a major impact at election time.

Ripple is a great litmus test for people who are FOMO buying.

In this market, when the median top 200 coin under $0.1 went 100x [1], there are easier and "safer"[2] ways to generate returns.

It doesn't even do its job the best. Stellar Lumens (xlm) is a fork and doesn't have the centralized aspect or the 60% supply overhang. Raiblocks (XRB) will eat its lunch in terms of tx speed/fees if the tech doesn't blow up first.

Do you actually believe that there is some set of bank vaults out there in random islands and offshore principalities that are stuffed full of $32tn in cash and gold? No, the money leaves those offshore locations just as soon as it arrives and returns to places like the US and Europe to be invested in conventional assets that can appreciate in value or return dividends. The money is only secured by the willingness of the offshore entities to hide its ownership, it is not actually in those countries.

Is it still the default suggestion that Open WRT/LEDE are better than stock router software? What about compared to pfsense (or is that not good for wireless)? Every time in the past that I looked at the WTF website (and I'll admit I did not know about LEDE) it looked so dated that I assumed proprietary firmwares on routers were more capable to making use of whatever the new router tech of today is.

I agree gold lacks the fundamental uses as a commodity when compared with things like oil.

But this is because gold is pretty close to being a currency. For hundreds of years, gold and silver was actual currency.

It is physical, finite and well established. Gold is a well accepted standard.

All "money" in the loosest sense of the word is a medium by which we can avoid swapping labour. If you grow apples and i make shoes, we can swap apples for shoes, but if you dont need 400 pairs of shoes, you need to find some way to swap them for things you do want.

Hence we all agree that these little tokens will be what we use, so we can create much more complex trading arrangements. Gold is a currency because almost everybody agrees that is one way to transfer value around. And even those that dont, trust the international monetary system which will swap gold directly into whichever token your country uses at a fair rate.

Bitcoin is worse off than gold because a) it isnt a physical entity. Gold is safe because it is the original incorruptible currency. I cannot just make gold. Bitcoin is a digital protocol, so it changes. Gold doesnt fork, for example. It has overwhelmingly stronger guarentees of longevity.

B) only a few people believe it is useful for exchange. Close to 7 billion people believe that gold is a viable currency. To get bitcoin to be accepted widely enough to be seen in the same light as gold likely requires hundreds of years, with opportunity for disaster at every step. We are talking about changes in attitude on the order of launching a new religion.

That would only work if you can get the customers to pay you in the crypto coin. The retail side of the weed business is lots of small dollar transactions done in cash. Converting that to crypto requires a full scale cash-to-crypto operation that is effectively the definition of money laundering (or at least solving the same problem).
Archer C7v2 has long been preferred as a nice and stable router. USB is slow and NAT caps out at around ~500mbps but is otherwise very good (there are a few patches around that improve this slightly). The WiFi driver for 802.11ac has improved stability(no crashing after 2 days) in trunk but has not been backported to stable yet. Range is also excellent (in my opinion).

If faster USB is needed, the recommendation is the Linksys WRT series of routers (new ones). Avoid the WRT1900ACv1 (keep rebooting, watchdog driver bug i think). WiFi is pretty stable now. One really nice benefit of these routers is that most of the drivers have been upstreamed in the kernel and thus get love from the kernel community (enhancements and bug fixes). Not so with the other popular routers.

Agreed. I've got a full UniFi setup at home and setup an AmpliFi network at my brother-in-law's house. Great gear. The range on Ubiquiti blows my old Meraki gear out of the water. I spent years tweaking settings on Meraki and was always unhappy with the range. I blamed it on everything except the gear until I replaced it.

> I cracked up at your Brisbane example...people choose not to live in Brisbane because it's inconvenient to everywhere, not because Brisbane has zoning restrictions.

That's not true at all. Brisbane is sitting on a huge plot of undeveloped land right next to caltrain (the baylands). The developer came to them with a plan to build a lot of housing on it, and the city told them they would only accept offices on the site, that they didn't want any residential development. The developer (aka, the best party to judge flows of money and profitability) wants housing, the nimby residents say no. Pricies for crappy single family homes in brisbane are in the millions, that is clearly a sign that people want to live there.

Ripple controls what nodes are used on their network (validators). Can you run a validator? Sure, but note that Ripple, and thus the network, aren't going to use it anyway [validator]:

Sorry for being so dismissive, but with so much noise out there, it feels like a waste of everyone's time when such a claim is made without the science to back it up.

I've wondered if dreams are basically this. Your brain uses its world-model-prediction subsystem to generate plausible inputs against which to train its action-generation-policy subsystem. Then, in real life, the action-generation-policy subsystem can react much more appropriately and quickly to real events.

Also, toddlers' stream-of-consciousness babbling when they first start talking. They narrate everything and more than once I've wondered if it's essentially them generating their own verbal training data. When they start talking to themselves their pronunciation, grammar etc. start improving much more rapidly.

Depends on what you want.

If you want more features than you could possibly want or use, LEDE/OpenWrt.

With some routers (Broadcom and Qualcomm mainly), stock firmware tends to perform better since no cooperation with the kernel or LEDE/OpenWrt.

For security reasons, you'll want to use LEDE/OpenWrt. KRACK fixes got pushed pretty fast (same day) for example.
