I'm trying to be as generous as possible here. I think what you're saying is that only eating local in Canada would be inefficient, compared to importing/exporting.

And you're right, to a certain extent. We wouldn't have oranges or avocados, unless they were grown inefficiently. We would have to change our diets.

The point you're missing though, I think, is that pretty much any region that had a significant population before industrialization is able to grow and eat a reasonably well-balanced diet locally. Would I miss avocados and oranges? Definitely. Would it mean that I'd be incapable of eating a nutritious diet? Absolutely not.

> What do you eat the rest of the year?

Well, lots of vegetables will last a long time in a "cold room". This is an uninsulated room in the basement that usually hovers just above freezing point. Meat can be frozen, or preserved, or butchered as needed. Grains and legumes keep a long time (wheat, lentils, peas, etc). Dairy farms run all-year-round.

Around here, many people produce significantly more fruit than they could eat before it spoils; the solution is generally to freeze it or can it. At my house, we keep the deep freeze outside, so keeping frozen food is pretty much zero cost for a significant portion of the year.

I dunno dude, while my diet would be a little less interesting, eating entirely local would be quite plausible in the Canadian prairies. There's things I'd miss, but it wouldn't be nutrients.

- 1. Ensure the existence of /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload

- 2. Copy intel-ucode directory to /lib/firmware, overwrite the files in

- 3. Write the reload interface to 1 to reload the microcode files, e.g.
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload

I can't respond to a dead post, but I thought it would be good to note out of respect and contextualize the Iraq experience as something that James Dolan didn't trivialize:

"We don’t know why James took his own life; we do know, however, he long suffered from PTSD from his time serving in the Marines during the Iraq War. It was an experience that affected him in multiple ways. He often cited the Iraq War as his inspiration for wanting to help journalists and whistleblowers; it made him realize governments needed to be much more transparent and accountable."
The tokens here are essentially altcoins, like ether or bitcoin. How would that be done with a simple, private database?
"Also, a bunch of the former Future Crew demo-scene guys had formed a hardware company, and they had released some screenshots with incredibly realistic volumetric lighting in an indoor scene".

The European demo scene was very important in the development of computer graphics (e.g. early 3d shading techniques) and music (e.g. music trackers which can be considered predecessors to modern DAWs), every now and then I go and watch those demos and I am amazed by what a bunch of teenagers was able to achieve on very limited hardware such as an Amiga 500 or an Atari ST. Many classic demos are now visible on Youtube so you don't have to go through the chore of installing emulators.

> The default needs to move to charging every driver involved in a fatal crash with manslaughter.

In civilized society, there is some evidentiary threshold for arrest and initiating charges. Manslaughter is a crime with specific elements; the absence of sufficient evidence of those elements makes it inappropriate ton arrest or charge.

The absence, as the police expressly found upon initial investigation, of evidence of even negligence in the operation of the vehicle rightly would foreclose such arrest. (And presumably the only reason the police stated that it because it was a threshold issue that, had it gone otherwise, there would have been an arrest.)
It's the type of announcement that makes me wonder if they had the chip makers incorporate it specifically for them to exploit.

The Unreal Editor was such a breath of fresh air compared to what Carmack at id had cooked up to create Quake maps. I worked in both editors as a young kid and the design paradigm with Quake, assembling a map in a void, left my maps with a host of problems usually related to planes not lining up correctly or having tiny gaps (leaks) which caused the map to not compile correctly or created an issue when actually playing the map. It drove me crazy.

UnrealEd on the other hand inverted that paradigm, instead of building your level a void you carved your map out of a solid mass. The geometry was much easier to work with and led me to really embrace Unreal's engine over Quake. I still loved Quake as the better game but Unreal's technology shined brighter for me as a young map maker.
There are many types of highways. You might even call these rural roads just roads, even if they share the default speed limit for the area (80 km/h here).

With very low traffic density, you might build the house closer to the road (maybe 10m off, separated with trees) for just that reason – to save land. (Not all rural houses are farms.)

Reducing speeds is a form of collision prevention, is it not? A typical car can just about stop on a dime at 15mph, and a pedestrian has more time to react.

There's a whole slew of other pedestrian-friendly street design that we could & should adopt as well, but that doesn't make speed any less of a valid approach.

Microsoft is still saying that users need firmware/BIOS updates to be protected. Their messaging is at best confusing on this if they're going to apply microcode updates themselves.

Perhaps they're waiting for the updates to be available for more processors before pushing an update?

I run a Pi-hole on my home network and I also run one at work, as I work for a small business. Works like a charm. I also use uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, No Coin and a couple of others on every machine I control. I disallow my browser from sharing data like fonts installed, visited history, etc. I disallow HTTP/S referrer, geo location, network prefetch, and more. I use a proxy server and sometimes a VPN. I prevent WebRTC from leaking my private address schema. What ads? I also run only unix-like operating systems running fully open source software.

You can even take advantage of a Pi-hole by passing your phones traffic through your home network even when you're away. Defense in depth to avoid the dreck.

I think the big picture goal of reducing speeds is much more than putting up a different sign. There's a whole movement out there pushing for denser development, reduced car-driven-development, and streets that are truly lower speed, not simply highways rebranded with different signs.

Is it haulting really in conflict with linear types?

If we inspect function from outside and we pick random time T after starting (but before finish) the event has been happen at most once. After function is finished event is done exactly once. I think conceptually situation is pretty much the same is T: 1ns | trillion years | infinite. So I feel that "It WILL happen after infinite time." is valid claim and therefore haulting by itself is not a problem.

In real world issue seems to be that we cannot run our software from very long to infinite time whenever is it haulted or not => at some point we kill that process. Killing process on the other hand is harmful thing for promise to run exactly once since killed process won't product anything new for sure. So in practice haulting results always to killing process but if process is killed it don't mean that process was haulted. So I claim that you shouldn't proof that your system won't hault but instead you should proof that process cannot be killed if anything. At the end it depends how we want box our world.

>Governments tend say they're doing the latter, while doing both.

Which is exactly why their powers need to be severely limited. In a fantasy world of rainbows and lollipops where the government are the "good guys" with only pure good in their hearts they could be trusted with limitless powers to pursue the "bad guys". In the actual world that exists, the government is made up of regular people - people who lie, cheat, steal, and do all sorts of things for their own purposes. If history has taught us anything, it should be that power corrupts. Far better that we live in a world where a small percentage of crimes go unsolved than a police state with ubiquitous tracking, surveillance and real-time monitoring where its an absolutely certainty that we all suffer the consequences.

nope. religion, age, and veteran status are all protected classes and not static.
It's been a while I don't bother much about security any more, because I consider everything insecure.

So I just do not put all my eggs in the same basket, I do not store much personal information on my computer, I store even less online, I do not store any money/payment related information, and I just admit I will however sometimes get my butt kicked here or there.

It is like my house. Anyone can break in at any time, and steal my belongings. Do I install an armoured door? Do I build grids on windows? Do I install an alarm with a direct link to a security company? No, no, and no. I just lock my front door. It only protects from a part of opportunity robberies and that's enough for me. I won't take measures to prevent all other possibilities. They can happen at any time, with no difficulty. And so what?

Back to computers. So this very basic mitigation, very limited damage control is enough to make me feel OK. It feels better to admit insecurity as a given, than to constantly fight for a false feeling of security I cannot achieve anyway.
