>could likely launch a cubesat with some sort of bacterial payload that would eventually get to Mars

Curious how this might work, given the energy required not only to escape Earth's orbit, but to get into another one around Mars and crash into it. It's my understanding that cubesats don't have anything that could do any of that stuff, and a larger craft doing the heavy lifting would be way more complicated.

I am cheering for you guys, but.... I fear YC is moving way out of its center of competence. Startup mantras like "build something people want" and "move fast and break things" are probably wildly inappropriate for the biotech world. Even the setup of the the YC course, where you hack intensely for three months and then present something cool at Demo Day, seems totally misconfigured for doing bio research.

I have never upvoted on this site but for you, I will.

As far as I know from my studies, the Americans have given their President loads of power. It would be quite a challenge to rewrite and redistribute powers of President, should he become a mere Public Figure like the Queen of England. If Americans were to accept undergoing such a change, might as well have more than two main parties and take money out pf politics. I suspect us to be dead by then.

The name “retpoline” is a portmanteau of “return” and “trampoline.” It is a trampoline construct constructed using return operations which also figuratively ensures that any associated speculative execution will “bounce” endlessly.

(If it brings you any amusement: imagine speculative execution as an overly energetic 7-year old that we must now build a warehouse of trampolines around.) [1]

Path dependence is a real phenomenon, yes, but then again, so is doing things that can be done, as opposed to those that can't.

How much effort do you think it would take to force the adult population into "healthy lifestyle" (as defined by the usual good diet and lots of exercise, etc.)? How would one even do that? I can't imagine anything over a) upending the industrial revolution and getting us all back to the farmer's life, b) just forcing everyone by arbitrary government restrictions on everything, or c) doing massive brainwashing of everyone. All of those strategies are infeasible, and could have bad side effects.

OTOH money spent on biomedical research can lead to figuring out one cause of one disease, and a subsequent cure. Then another. Then another. A lot of those could allow us to sidestep the lifestyle requirements, which I believe to be a good outcome. It expands options. (This - using medicine to not change lifestyle being good - is where I think our beliefs strongly differ.)

> I am some nutter who "lives in a bubble" for preferring to limit my exposure to germs as effective prevention rather than live on prophylactic antibiotics all the time,

What? Who on Earth does "prophylactic antibiotics"? I thought this was restricted to surgery and some other very special cases...

> Limiting my exposure to other people and their germs is not viewed as a reasonable choice for avoiding that outcome.

This is a very reasonable strategy and is often used, but has lifestyle costs, so people avoid doing it anyway... No blame to be put on doctors for that one.

> When I was growing up, anyone getting vaccinated was a success. People who didn't weren't all that uncommon. Now we are shooting for 100% of the population being vaccinated and you need to justify not getting it.

When you were growing up, polio was a thing. Now, it isn't. There's not just a correlation there, there's actual causation. We're shooting for 100% vaccination for some of the things, because vaccines work, and happen to work superlinearly - the more people are vaccinated, the more likely it is those who are not vaccinated will not get infected either. And some people can't be vaccinated for health reasons, so they rely on that so-called "herd immunity".
I was thinking the same thing as I read this. “Chaos engineering” has served some customers very well here.

From speaking in my circles, I get the impression that those of us without our own data centers to worry about are much better off than those who do.

See slide 72 of the metadata talk[1] and slide 51 of the IPC talk[2], which indicate that it does speculation before permissions checking.

Since turf permissions operate on the granularity of an arbitrary address range (rather than a page like traditional MMUs), the permissions cache (what the Mill calls a PLB) has a worse latency/power tradeoff than a traditional TLB. The Mill takes advantage of its single address space and reduces some of this hit by doing permissions checks in parallel with the access.

> the basic premise of hardware process isolation is that a process cannot have any knowledge of what another process is doing, or whether it even exists, unless it is explicitly permitted

What if the cache would always miss when a potentially cached value was accessed from a different process than the one that set it?

In other words a process-bound cache that would allow branch prediction to work as intended to speed up a process but would never allow an attacker in a different process to gather information via the cache, since the cache would always miss.

How often are the perf benefits of branch prediction gained from multiple processes benefitting from the cache hits that different processes' past behavior generated?
I'm not sure that they are? Nobody asked for it, but the media started talking about it, for some reason.

I think part of why it still has some life, is that it is so outlandish to even think about (like Trump) - its great click bait.
Well, this is the last straw. Socialism has officially ruined this country.
People's view of trump as a success at building businesses by any reasonable measure is absurd but Oprah has been wildly successful

Forbes says Oprah is worth $2.8B.. and Trump is worth $3.1B. Oprah is 63; Trump is 71... so they've had about the same amount of time.

By what reasoning is one a failure and the other wildly successful?
I agree and feel similarly about the fake news discussion that's been going on since the election: Instead of looking for ways to hide it we should try to educate people, encourage critical thinking and work towards media consumption literacy and competence. If publications like Breitbart, /r/the_donald and others find a substantial following, maybe the receivers and not the messenger itself needs fixing.

Of course this isn't an overnight process, but one that has to start early, particularly during childhood, which is why the education system is central to those efforts.

Yeah I thought that was interesting too. I think they are most likely name dropping Google just because they want to reinforce whatever type of association with Google that they can get. Lots of people won't register this as a bad thing per se, and will just think "Wow it's super cool that Intel is working with The Googles on something".

As developers, we should know this phenomenon well by now, as it's dictated an ever-increasing portion of our toolchain. "Oh, you say Google uses this thing?! I use it too then! Google and me are best buds!". (This applies equally to Facebook, and to a lesser extent, Amazon. Compare one of my son's favorite YouTube videos at [0]).

Alternatively, they may want customers to think "Oh boy you have to be a super genius guy like the Googles to beat up Intel so this isn't a big deal", or "How could Google do this to a nice company like Intel".

So many possibilities, but really all of them turn out well for Intel.

>Between Intel's numerous CPU bugs that they refused to refund customers for

How do you propose this could work?

Are side channel vulnerabilities in CPUs really bugs?
True, and maybe it is just a case of the grass being greener.

The closest analogue to Trump/Oprah in modern western history is probably Silvio Berlusconi.

That fiasco wasn’t even a swift dramatic thing—just a grinding two decades and counting of stagnation, inept government, corruption and brain drain as your best youth go abroad.

I hope it doesn’t happen here and I want to do anything I can to help.

Past some hypothetical point, though, I think my wanderlust and sense of pride would take me elsewhere.

The President has much less power than the average person believes he does. The Supreme Court and Congress provide serious limitations on his power.

In addition, because there is no clear definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors", congress can pretty much remove The President whenever they want. The House only requires a simple majority to impeach and the Senate requires a 2/3 majority to convict.
True, but their competence isn’t is science based startups. In all honesty I think that makes them in general gravitate to Bio tech plays which involve a lot of traditional Tech. The thesis is easier, but much less likely to result in high reward.
This is great advice thank you.

My dream job was to become an urban planner. Historically, city planners considered health effects of the design decisions that were made. This is basically no longer done.

Yet one thing harming health in the US is that most people find that long commutes are not an option. They are a necessity. The time spent behind the wheel is not only bad for your health, it robs you of time to do things like go to the gym or cook from scratch.

Most Americans don't want to spend that time behind the wheel. But there are huge obstacles to arranging to avoid it. Many Americans wish they had other options. If those options were made available, you would not need to force people to take them.

Though I wish you had just dropped it and walked away like you indicated you would do.

All these same things except...not chrome. It is terrible for privacy. Use firefox with telemetry turned off, or perhaps waterfox, palemoon, or brave. Degoogled chromium may be ok but is not recommended.

"Trampoline". The term actually shows up with some frequency among compiler people.

As I already recommended on another commend, chrome is an INCREDIBLY BAD IDEA for privacy. Use ungoogled chromium if you need a google-only site, otherwise just firefox (with telemetry turned off).

You're missing the point. It says "insufficient on Skylake and newer CPUs".

The Google Cloud blog post does not mention that retpolines are insufficient on newer CPUs. That omission is dangerous because readers will believe they are protected by recompiling with retpolines when in fact they aren't.

Perhaps the blog post can be updated to clarify the limits of retpolines so people don't get the wrong impression and end up with vulnerable systems.
> Somebody else handles the actual governing.

Somebody else chosen by whom? Following what agenda, according to which principles? Overseen by whom? Presumably, chosen by the buffoon President to act in his/her stay, following the agenda set forth in his/her election platform, and within the principles of the Constitution... but even merely one layer of remove makes it difficult for the other branches of government to exert their roles in providing checks and balances, and for citizens of the Republic it becomes even more difficult to figure out who is doing what and whether what is being done is grossly in their interest or not.

Also, it’s by no means clear anymore that voting the incumbent out of office and somebody new into his place creates that discontinuity necessary to avoid a dynasty arising. If much of the machinery of government disappears behind an opaque veil and elections are contested between idiots then we no longer have any clue what is going on behind the curtain, and behind that curtain there may be an éminence grise of such power even a new (notional) President fears to disrupt, or even if these unseen powers are not powerful enough to intimidate the newcomer, it might just be more convenient for the new guy (or gal) to “go with the flow” and and leave the hard business of real governing to a experienced set of hands.

It really ain't pretty.
Spammers gonna spam. Anything sent to me from "notification@facebookmail.com" or "noreply@facebookmail.com" goes straight to the trash, and the problem is solved.
I mean, this one, yea. Speculative execution should not have side effects when wrong because it is Intel silently, sneakily breaking the model of how the CPU works (at least, if you only include the cache in how the PC works and not branch prediction).

I would have expected, if I thought to ask, that items were not added to the cache or were removed from the cache if the branch was not retired.
That is what I do with C++ for sharing business logic.

Only need the SDK tooling, without being forced to debug extra layers of third party tools.

Using extra, non official language X usually overshadows the extra debugging and configuration efforts of adding yet another layer into the overall architecture.
I understand that your audience is unlikely to setup an rss reader, but what about an old fashioned newsletter? Build a simple website (if you don't have one already) and let people subscribe to your events/announcements via email. Services like Mailchimp would come in handy to manage subscriptions, create newsletters and, of course, send them.

Also, explain the problem to your facebook users and encourage them to use the email subscription to not miss any future events.
tbh I'd be reluctant to hire somebody who's head's going to explode if they have to deal with some JSX, it's been mainstream for long enough now that if somebody has no clue about it, they've got their head in the sand. It's not about the experience so much as what can come across as a dismissive/know-it-all attitude.
In my almost ten years, under almost as many managers and directors, only one of them was occasionally active on any of the lists I was on.

Disclaimer: I'm not Paul :).

As mentioned elsewhere, we recompile everything at Google all the time. I'm not sure which things we've rebuilt with retpoline enabled. As Paul mentions in the article, the point is for software you believe needs to be protected, which may not be everything we build.

That thread on retpoline on Skylake has a lot of confusion. For some folks, they aren't 100% certain it works (it relies on understanding internal details of Intel CPUs) and they argue that IBRS on Skylake is cheap enough so "why not just always use IBRS and not bother?". That's the gist of this comment:

> personally I am comfortable with retpoline on Skylake, but I would like to have IBRS as an opt in for the paranoid.

I want to highlight that Paul and the team have had a lot more time to think about this issue than the folks just joining the discussion. Could our folks be missing something? Sure, and that's the point of public discussion and code review. We hope that over the coming weeks and months it's decided one way or another, but we believe retpoline to be correct and a good optimization (especially for older hardware).
> The post also pointed to an external blog post written by a Googler that stated, “Blacks are not equal to whites.”

Here's what Altheide’s document quotes a "Googler" as writing on an external blog:

> Blacks are not equal to whites. Therefore the “inequality” between these races is expected and makes perfect sense. (This also explains why progressives are unable to come up with a black martyr who was not killed while committing a crime.)

Was this really written by someone who works for Google?

That's also quite an accusation. Are there any other reports of Urs saying anything in that ballpark of crazy?

FWIW, I'm totally with you on what you just wrote about commute and urban planning. Seeing my city (in Europe) destroyed by developers is deeply saddening. We've opened up cities to the free market, and now everyone treats building as investments, putting residential and commercial structures where it makes zero sense, only further congesting the city. TBH, I don't feel like anyone is doing any actual urban planning anymore.

For me this doesn't make much sense, why would the remittance operators be willing to hold XRP now? It is unstable and volatile like Bitcoin.

This whole ripple thing sounds like an epic scam. The actual technology is just a story that people can tell without actually understanding the business. Then the actual business is pumping the token, and then dumping at some point.
