Attackers also have to consider cost/benefit analysis when evaluating methods of attack. Claims that "CSS is Turing complete" require a user to act as a "crank" [0], so there are lower-hanging fruit out there than trying to program complicated logic which can utilize the Meltdown / Spectre exploits in CSS.

TSMC to Keep Supplying Chips to Huawei
Maybe you just had luck and lived a sheltered life?
Most places certainly retested CPUs in the wave of Spectre/Meltdown and at least the sources I've seen have mentioned Zombieload/MDS though they've yet to go back and rebenchmark CPUs due to the fact they're either prepping for or travelling to Computex currently. I'd expect most of them to have videos in the next month though.
People are fine with foreign countries with good economies. What isn't fine is an asymmetric trade imbalance caused by one sided protectionism, currency manipulation, espionage, and tariffs that aren't reciprocated.

I am wary when people wax lyrical about all of the ways they love using machine learning on data. It makes me nervous because i worry that they have a hammer and can't wait to use it on anything vaguely nail shaped.
> Emacs [...] 1MHz should be enough.

vi? Probably. But not Emacs, although I guess you could run something like Linus's Micro-emacs. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/editors/uemacs/uemacs.git/

In all cases, anyway, a 10 MHz 68030 should be enough for full Emacs, it's commonly seen as the lowest hardware requirement for a useful workstation Unix.
OS X - it wouldn’t make a difference. But, apps are tightly sandboxed with iOS and it doesn’t even allow some of the permissions that Android does - like intercepting phone calls and text messages.
It sounds like you're rolling with whatever Google's latest 'solution' to fragmentation is, so of course it's not going to be an issue: Google is dropping old devices for you so they never even appear in your console stats.[1] This is a perfectly valid business decision to take on your end, but it doesn't mean that the problem doesn't still exist... only that you aren't having to deal with it. I've got several still functional 4.x-5.x devices (thanks to stellar upgrade policies) that can't even use the market anymore (so much for compatibility libraries being the solution)[2] I've also done Android development and years ago stopped believing that the real solution they have to offer is anything other than throw your devices away after a few years. Me bitter? Only when I read posts saying fragmentation is a solved problem on Android ;-)

[1] You say that O/P/Q are 88% of your devices but they only represent 38.7% of devices accessing the market (Q doesn't even show up) per https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards. Likely the solution Google has provided ignores a significant chunk of devices out there. When they announce these new initiatives, they tend to support the most widely-used and recent devices while quietly ignoring the rest. A valid strategy, but hardly comprehensive. (yeah, yeah... this time is different)

[2] Technically, they can still access the market, they just can't download anything. Probably either some web API breakage or no longer supported version of something on the device.
Those are the paths traced by your eyes. It does say “and often the mouse,” but it’s describing reading, and the common habit of following along with the mouse cursor as you read. IF you are the kind of person who does this, it puts the mouse cursor in the right place for you when you’re ready to click. This does not help, A) people who don’t do that, B) people who are using a keyboard or assistive device, or C) people using a mobile/touch device.
The 10% is based around the assets they think might be recoverable if you default - So it’s fair for them to consider all the other companies/debt which will be fighting for a slice of that pie in a default scenario.
See the original comments under the news article.

> To simplify, there are three main numbers to be aware of. Intel calls these numbers PL1 (power level 1), PL2 (power level 2), and T (or tau).

> PL1 is the effective long-term expected steady state power consumption of a processor. [...] PL2 is the short-term maximum power draw for a processor. [...] Tau is a timing variable. It dictates how long a processor should stay in PL2 mode before hitting a PL1 mode.

> This is where it gets really stupid: the motherboard vendors got involved, because PL1, PL2 and Tau are configurable in firmware. [...] This lets them set PL2 to 4096W and Tau to something very large, such as 65535, or -1 (infinity, depending on the BIOS setup). This means the CPU will run in its turbo modes all day and all week, just as long as it doesn’t hit thermal limits.

Iridium satellites were causing flares because of a design issue - their main antennas were essentially large mirrors. New generation of Iridium satellites fixed that issue (to my and other flare catchers' disappointment). I don't recall Starlink satellites to be designed to cause flares.
I've seen a number of comments like this over the last few days and I don't really get it, gamers use the internet right? Vast overwhelming majority of them are going to be running javascript programs hundreds of times per day
It's actually a tax on potential land value.
Once security keys are enrolled they are very easy to use and your parents can frankly probably just keep them plugged into their computer. Between that and antivirus with MacOS (or just using a Pixebook) that should cut down on a lot of attack vectors.
Yes, you got it. It's not a problem for narrow field, but at some point you the sacrifice of frame area gets too big
>Google sent me a mail that "All new apps and app updates are required to provide 64-bit versions of any 32-bit native code they provide". So I won't be able to update existing app to existing users ever again, for non-technical reasons.

Isn't the reason entirely technical? 64-bit apps can use 64-bit only instruction sets, which are newer and usually faster, resulting in a performance improvement. BTW, apple did the same thing years ago on iOS and is planning to kill 32-bit apps on MacOS soon.
That's really interesting. When working under constrainst people get creative. I think it just happend so that most computers that I've worked on don't handle RAR by default so I never knew the background.
AA members (Alcoholics Anonymous) or any addicted people are doing the opposite. They talk about drinking, they're celebrating round dates. I think the approach in the article is more effective for them.
I don't know if this is any good, but I've seen TV ads for a tablet and service specifically meant for non-technical older people. It uses cellular service so there is no need for them to even have WiFi. It's called "GrandPad". Here is their FAQ [1].

From an interesting historical perspective, I mark the end of Moore's Law in 2001 with Intel's prediction of a 5GHz "Netburst" in 2005, which could not keep itself from melting. Somewhere I have a marketing road map of 5GHz in 2005, 10GHz in 2010. It was aspirational of course, but seeing what had to happen between then and now in order to get a chip that runs at 5GHz all the time based on their architecture is illuminating of the challenges they face.
This is going to come off as quite bitter, but the more I listen to podcasts like ATP, the more it angers me how incestuous the Apple indie community is. There are about a million of these kinds of utility apps in the App Store. Many are potentially useful to thousands of people like this one. None of them get widespread podcast coverage, writeups on Techcrunch and Macstories, and trending posts on HN. This is exclusively fame and personality driving sales, and yet nobody on these shows seems to want to acknowledge it.

Worse yet, this might make fledgeling indie developers believe that they, too, could make a living with their first or second projects. But I know from experience that merit isn't nearly enough: getting even a single journalist to pay attention will require weeks or months of unanswered e-mails to everyone you can find—and even then, only if you're lucky, and your app actually does something incredible.

Perhaps the unstated prerequisite in this market is that if you don't have a network, your app almost certainly isn't going anywhere, no matter how good it is. And if you know a bunch of people within the Apple indie community, you're going to have some degree of success, no matter what. I recently released an app that performs an important task substantially better than all the existing competition, and yet getting anyone at all to pay attention is like pulling nails. It's hard not to feel dejected when you see a newcomer with a comparatively simple app enter the stage and immediately get widespread acclaim.

As a long-time fan of the show, I'm happy for Casey's success (because he's a genuinely nice and well-meaning person), but I'm probably going to have to stop listening soon. This release is just an absolute distortion of the app developer experience, and it ticks me off that everyone in this sphere is acting like it's completely normal. In reality, almost anybody else would be lucky to make $100 from the lifetime of an equivalent app, and nobody would be donating $5 to you just because they like you.
Ask HN: Freelancers, how do you deal with clients that don't pay or pay late?

The reason to expect Starlink to provide lower cost than VSAT is that SpaceX is currently paying less than $500k per functional Starlink sat (including both manufacturing and launch cost), and intends to dramatically reduce the cost from that before launching the larger stages of the constellation. In contrast, the geostationary satellites that are used by VSAT cost near billions per each.

This three orders of magnitude difference in cost can be expected to be reflected in the price of the service.
This. I'm happily using JuiceSSH in Android Q beta even though it was last updated in 2017 and was targeting Android L. Android maintained reasonably good backward compatibility just like Windows did.

So many iOS app developers would use new SDK as soon as newer iOS is out, and abandon existing users who chose to use old iOS. Worse, those app developers would choose to drop old version, release a new version that requires you to purchase again.
What licence? You don't have to agree to a licence to use a CPU. I mean Intel might think otherwise, but those kinds of licences("you agree to this licence by just opening the product") are not worth the paper they are written on in EU, so even if there is such a licence it wouldn't be applicable everywhere.
Sure, maybe, but this is not the place for bellyaching about it. Or at least it didn't use to be.
Maybe US experience was different - I certainly remember that impression through the seventies, and the reputation mainly being with the Euro makes - Dual, Grundig, Quad, Tannoy etc.

Sony TV had reputation for poor colour. I think they modified their NTSC designs to PAL, or shared something with the US standard. Enough to be noticed by customers anyway. That reputation stuck around a while, but was fading when Walkman arrived (early 80s?), and by the end of the decade they had a solid reputation among the best TVs. Couldn't tell you when they adopted PAL "properly". By the end of the 80s, Japanese makes had cornered the mass market, and were chipping away at the higher end, and many of the Euro brands fading, or disappearing.
The title is flamebait. It's just the typical rant about NIMBYism with a partisan tinge to it. When I made my comment there was only two comments and one of them was:

"Liberal .* hypocrisy would match a lot of things..."

These types of tired comments, and more eloquently framed versions of them, always pop up under articles like this and they never bring up any interesting points.
I don't know what the GP's experience is like, but when you wake up you roughly know what time it is, no? Even if you're in a dark room.
>But if we are sensible, the pursuit of human happiness, personal and collective, remains the goal of most of what we do. Such a basically utilitarian ideology requires around it a structure of reasoning, not passion, selfish or unselfish.

David Hume's point was that reason alone could not justify the pursuit of human happiness or anything else, because it only lets you go from one statement to another, which means you have to start with something like "I want to be happy" in order to conclude "I want to buy some ice cream." The contributor writing the dissenting opinion didn't say anything that Hume wouldn't have agreed with, because they slipped in Hume's passions with the word "sensible." I think they are debating a non-issue that they don't really disagree about. Although Hume's point was novel when he wrote it (believe it or not there were contemporaneous philosophers who did not realize that you couldn't derive axioms), there is really nobody who thinks anything else today.
The Apple II cassette port had layers of awesomeness to it that still go unappreciated today, even by the platform's hardcore devotees.

For one thing, it was about as fast as a Commodore 64 disk drive, although that was due more to incompetent engineering on Commodore's part than brilliant engineering on Woz's part. (There was plenty of unpicked low-hanging fruit in Woz's own Disk II system.)

For another, you could connect it to an old telephone hybrid and get a free 1200-baud modem, albeit a nonstandard one. Perfectly adequate for allowing two Apples to talk to each other.

And yes, I don't see why you couldn't rig it up to decode WWV(B) transmissions with a minimal amount of external hardware, especially in conjunction with an interrupt-driven timer like the one described in the article.
> What protocol and who would actually benefit from this?

All of them.

We could have encrypted HTTP back in 2000 if HTTP Upgrade had been more widely deployed:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/1.1_Upgrade_header

How much of the stuff that the NSA (and others) did that Snowden exposed could have been made impossible, or at least more difficult, if there was more encrypted traffic to deal with?

Sure, there wouldn't have been little padlock icons, and active attacks could still be done, but it wouldn't have been as much wholesale surveillance.

Instead, between 2000 and (say) 2016—when Let's Encrypt/ACME went live—we had selective encryption only for 'important' sites where people thought it worth the cost/hassle of getting a cert and going HTTPS.

Even now, there are plenty of legacy HTTP-only sites: why not have an Apache module available that does opportunistic encryption, even if the end-user doesn't get a padlock icon.
That's a good point about specialists building empathy. One of my college physics professors complained about how dumb the ROTC people were - but a lot of them are humanities majors forced to take physics, which they couldn't care less about. Meanwhile, my political science professor was berating the science and engineering majors because all they would do is memorize and not learn concepts. That was on the day I scored higher on my physics test than my government test, and the physics test was out of 50 and the government test was out of 100.
Dumpster, dumpster, burning bright / Data back-ups not alright?
First, realize that simply pointing out to people how they are mistaken won't change much.

Myths, for some reason, often have loopholes. Achilles is invincible, except for his heel. Samaritans are bad, except for some good ones. So sometimes you can position yourself as matching the loophole and get a pass. Sometimes this is humiliating, though, or funnels groups of people into acting out narrow stereotypes.
>I have lots of coworkers who do just this. I would wager they are making less than me, yet have a bigger house and better car.

Is this real? I can't for the life of me figure out if it's a trope or if it's actually the case. We try to keep housing under 20% of budget if possible. I just assume most other folks do as well, I am definitely speaking to the 500k and not the sub 150k housing scenarios since I understand at some point you have to live somewhere.

Though I guess that depends too, you can buy a 3-3.5k sq ft brand new house in the top school zones for 500k around here.
Not indefinitely just at the same time because thermal throttling will happen after sometime. It just means all cores will be able to go to 5Ghz at the same time nothing about all being able to stay at 5Ghz
I remember how in undergrad, my Circuit Theory professor who studied at Boulder and also worked at Ball Brothers would corroborate the myths of Bob Widlar. They were contemporaries, and my professor really emphasized his insane output and work ethic. He recounted how Widlar would routinely disappear in bar crawls for 3-4 days, and then return to ace his exams. While many of Widlar's actions might not have been exemplary, his contributions to modern IC's is still pretty underrated.
Very well articulated. I’d been thinking about something similar and I thank you for putting into concrete words the vague, abstract ideas tossing around in my head.

That to some degree, the truth doesn’t matter in practice is a very sobering and very frustrating realization.
These problems are real but are orders of magnitude less important than climate change. Nuclear has plenty of issues, but currently it's the only possible realistic solution for zero-carbon energy given the timeframe. It's irrational to compare local issues like waste storage with the global one at hand.

> locked up indefinitely in a quasi-jail with a bunch of crazy people or taking your chances on the streets, what would you choose for yourself?

The institution, 100%. Being on the streets also involves being around crazy people, plus criminals, and not all that much to protect you from them.

And, of course, you'll likely have to head to a homeless shelter during the winter. Talk to people and you'll find that some of them prefer sleeping on the streets, even with hypothermia risk. Usual complaints include noise, drugs, lice, and getting your shoes stolen.
I main-splain the reason why they're not 'picking up real jobs' as that those jobs come with commitments.

Even if it's not "you must work these hours" - it's "my books need to be ready at the end of the month".

I think maybe I can identify with your brother. In his "proxy-defense" - well even if I don't get that contract, I can stay in bed. I have a decently paying job and am eternally bemused by the fluctuations between "this is critical and I must work into the night and weekends" and the converse "I've been here all week and don't feel I've achieved anything of value"

When I idly consider the 'next step' for gig-work, it would be to break it out of the company domain/app.
The article mentioned people with a bunch of T-shirts and their associated overhead of deciding which one to wear/app-to-load.

e.g. To take this to the logical extreme, you'd sign up with "goldcd-hustle", tell me what you were prepared to do, punch in your skills, upload your car details/overheads, tell me where you were with GPS blah blah. Then when you press the "I want to work" button, you'd get given the most beneficial job.

The problem with being an Uber driver is that it's all built around the best interests of Uber - and it's a piss-poor example of actual arbitrage.

Usually, when we compare GDP per capita between countries, we use PPP (purchasing power parity) rather than nominal values. You can achieve a similar result by adjusting state median incomes by a cost of living factor: https://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/2018/11/1....

Adjusted for cost of living, the median income in Alabama is about 10% higher than in California. California and New York are actually among the poorest states in the country in terms of standard-of-living, down there with Mississippi and West Virginia.

I got the ferry from Stromness to Scrabster once. A low pressure arrived on the scene just as we departed Stromness. About a quarter of a way into the journey I decided I'd like a coffee, I wished I hadn't.

It must be one of the very few times on public transport I've had to "clambour" back to my seat. I remained seated for the rest of the trip.

I don't think a lot of people understand how apps run in the background on Android. I know having worked on one recently, coming from iOS, I had a lot of assumptions about what it would or wouldn't be doing... and they were all wrong (of course).

Turns out Android, at least however this app is setup, maybe by default, leaves the app fully running. Like zero effort to suspend it automatically. A part of the UI crashed and a hunt to find the bug made me realize this... I fixed the bug, but still haven't really looked into how to really suspend it.
Keep in mind that "a bit low" is a translation. The tone may not be exactly the same as the original.
> What makes Samsung phones consumer hostile?

The upgrades that make the phone slower and slower and remove pre-existing functionality. The removal of Android native features, with replacements that stop working after some time. The severe locking of the phone.

But then, Samsung is far from the only ones doing this. I've personally stopped buying their phones because it's better to buy cheaper stuff and just switch after the manufacturer starts with the shenanigans.
