> Consider one of your friends maybe a drug dealer and you don't know it. The police find records connecting you to them. Now you're under investigation, and crimes will be found if they want thento be found, and you're sucked in to a very expensive legal defence.

I have had friends who were drug dealers and I didn't know it. Somehow this didn't result in the gestapo breaking into my house, when they got busted by the police. Police have investigated crimes involving people that have friends for over a century, so I don't buy your hypothetical scenario.
It would be just as easy to allow adults only read-only access, without allowing them the ability to comment.

This would solve e.g. the Elsagate thing. "YouTube Kids" video? Adults can't be creepy in the comments, because adults can't even post in the comments.
The best way I've learned to build working software is to have a group working together driving at the delivery of it rather than organizing a series of handoffs. Not only do people have context switching concerns at the task level, but teams and organizations have context switching concerns: more tasks in progress mean more organization thrashing and things drop on the floor.
Having mentioned the Palestinians, it's only fair to include the Israelis. Especially because it was US support that almost guaranteed their independence. The British had been far more even-handed, back in the 20s to early 40s. But they were (in a way) defeated by the US in WWII, along with just about every other nation involved, except for the Soviets.

> Amazon sent 1,700 Alexa voice recordings to the wrong user following data request

You know the best way to prevent sending 1,700 voice recordings? Not making 1,700 voice recordings in the first place.

Amazon will eventually mess up and send leak data to the wrong person. Blaming this on the GDPR is stupid. If Amazon actually respected user privacy they wouldn't make those recordings in the first place.
The dangerous assumption here is that nobody else ever got hold of the EternalBlue exploit outside of those they wanted to have it.

This is a bad assumption. Others could have developed it independently, or intercepted it from NSA usage, and used it for years prior to the leak of the tools.

Hoarding 0days makes everyone less safe.
I've thought about this too, and something occurs to me: Big corporations attract people who are really good at making money. Some of us are good at tech, others at music, and there's a certain group of people whose gift is setting aside all of those "interesting" things and focusing on making money. And not by doing spectacular things like inventing Facebook, but just by grinding away at it, year after year, making incremental improvements to things. I just can't bring myself to be interested in doing that.

I work at a F250, and I once asked my boss: "Why does the parent company allow our company to exist, when we seem to be steeped in incompetence?" He said to me: "Because we make a shit ton of money."

I think there's truth to that when looking at internal software, but external (B2C) software will continue to live in this division. (Think of hotels.com as an application, for example. There's no world where you can build a hypercard app that meets those needs.)

The way I see it, there are two options here: either require themes to specify colors for many more semantic use cases or give up on themes.

Icon consistency is also just not possible. Any halfway decent application with a properly designed UI will have a set of prominently displayed custon icons for the main commands that make the software what it is. There is no way that these icons can be consistent with whatever random theme you chose to use today.
There's nothing "fascist" about opposition to colonialism. The attitude of most Chinese people isn't that they're the greatest in the world. Quite the opposite, they generally admire the developed world and want to emulate it in many ways. They don't generally want to be better than everyone else, but rather to be treated with respect. British control over Hong Kong was a reminder of a time when China was not treated with respect, in which it was forced to submit to humiliating treaties, in which foreign countries could force China to accept opium imports, in which Chinese territory was carved up, and in which Chinese people suffered under foreign invasions and occupation.

It's easy to tell other countries to get over colonialism, but colonialism is a major issue in the modern history of China. That's why Hong Kong is a touchy issue, and why a lot of Chinese people will get pissed off if you tell them it's not part of China. It was taken from China in a war in which the British forced China to import opium. Just keep that in mind when you think about why Chinese people might react as they do.
Reactors of Gen III and beyond have significantly different safety characteristics. And solar (inherently) is unable to produce continuous 24x7 energy. Those together should be enough to warrant a fresh look at nuclear.

The main practical issues with modern nuclear are up front investment and timelines, and overall economics. Those could be addressed via regulations and subsidies, but more of the general population would need to support the idea before it becomes safe politically to consider.

Trust issues can often be mitigated with verifiable signatures. Perhaps if there was a protocol in place requiring each release to be signed by the current maintainer and all commits signed by the individual contributors, then a change in signature on the release would have provided a strong downstream signal that maintenance had changed hands. Without verifiable signatures, downstream is drinking the water without testing it. As you said, there are crazies out there, who knows what they might put in the water.
And yet, France converted their grid to 80% nuclear in twenty years. Maybe we should do whatever they did.

I have often thought about ways of optimizing my life, but doing so in a minimally invasive/time suck matter.

One element, mentioned in the article, is coming up with your “happiness score”. However the way they suggest it seems a bit onerous. I almost wonder if it would be easier to do a “happy or not” style of data collection. Basically like the ones you see at airports, but maybe tied to facial recognition so you know who in the family is recording it.

Ideally you would add more metrics (like sleep monitor), but I feel having just that much would be beneficial.

Thoughts on this? Can anyone think of an easier method for the basic data collection (which doesn’t involve someone filling out a spreadsheet?)

> Getting in someone's face is an escalation of physical aggression

It's literally not. That's not what "physical" means. It's... provoking. The guy with the drum was... I dunno, he was an asshole.

It's certainly possible that he knew the kids were loose cannons and was hoping that by "getting in someone's face" he could get one of them to throw a punch on camera. Could be. I mean, the guy clearly had an agenda, and it probably doesn't align with your politics. But that's still not "aggression" by any reasonable definition. Stop being a snowflake.

Oops, didn't read your comment closely enough, strike my above comment.

Followed the Wikipedia link to the 1995 Fujitsu/HAL out-of-order design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_SPARC64) and it says it's superscalar, but then that the first version can execute as many as 4 instructions at once and out-of-order. And from the very first version had branch prediction, which equals speculative execution as far as I know.
If that were really all that the GDPR required, it wouldn’t cost businesses that already did show that common decency anything, would it?

In reality, all regulations have costs for compliance and those costs typically apply to some extent even if you weren’t doing anything shady at all.
Truth doesn't have to make sense AND it is often hidden from view.
Certificate Transparency logs contain personal information about a few people right now. Is that legal?
every GDPR request I've seen has been public figures (actors, etc) asking to be forgotten from commercial acts (movies) they were in and no longer like. It's ridiculous.
I'm saying you'll never get even close to 1% by putting this on roofs. Savings are nice, though.
the cost of complying with the German legal requirements is probably much lower than losing 80 million, very wealthy users.

And also regardless of what one's opinion about the law is, I'd be sceptical about the idea of a company arbitrarily cancelling service provision to an entire nation because they disagree with a domestic law.
This partially explains why many have epiphanies while on shrooms...you will experience "ego death" that lets you think much more objectively about issues affecting your life.
Sounds like they would be specifically targeted. It could be mailware that's delivered over the hotel's wifi or perhaps the maids dropping mailware on unattended laptops? If Marriott investigates this, they should look if similar incidents happened and correlate them with recent stays.
Dunno. Why would you want to? You can already compute lots of stuff on GPUs.

Couple generations ago, AMD did the other way, they used GPU shader ALUs for video encoding/decoding. They stopped doing that because power efficiency is worse than custom silicon that’s now in all modern GPUs, even in mobile SoCs.
Ancient humans probably knew this too because many examples of carvings and paintings were made in places protected from the elements, like caves and overhangs. They probably also decorated more exposed areas that haven't survived as well, as you note.

Mesa Verde as one example includes such cultural works dating back to 600CE.

No. I have to look it up to be certain but I believe that MS did not want to patch CPU microcode during boot and tried to leave that to the firmware. But - I may be wrong here - this stance changed with Spectre and Meltdown and Windows does indeed patch microcode during boot on affected CPUs. However, I don't think there is a way to apply a user-specified patch. The update has to come from MS.

When I was running Gentoo Hardened in the old days, there used to be a "jit" USE flag for Firefox, which could be disabled before building it. I was running PaX/grsecurity and I was suspicious of JIT in general as it requires runtime code generation, and breaks the excellent memory protection from PaX, so I kept it disabled. The performance was terrible, but tolerable for most websites. The worst part was in-browser JavaScript cryptography, without JIT there's zero optimization, a web login takes minutes.

But later on, Firefox has streamlined its architecture and made it more difficult to disable JIT. After one update, disabling JIT causes a broken build that crashes instantly. I've spend a lot of time reading bug trackers and looking for patches to unbreak it. The internal refactoring continued, after Firefox Quantum, JIT seems to be an integral part of Firefox, and the Gentoo maintainers eventually dropped the option to disable JIT as well.

I wonder if an ACL-based approach could be used, as an extension to NoScript. The most trusted website has JavaScript w/o JIT, the less trusted website has JavaScript w/o JIT, the least trusted website has no JavaScript. Tor Browser's security lever used to disable JIT at the "Medium" position. But rethinkig it, this approach has little security benefit, it's easy to launch a watering hole attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watering_hole_attack) and eject malicious JavaScript from 3rd-party elements.

I wonder if extending seccomp() and prctl() based approach can be a solution. SMT can be enabled but no process is running on a SMT thread by default. Non-confidential applications such as scientific computing or video games can tell the kernel to put their processes on SMT threads.

Just wait until the start re-evolving back into dinosaur form, then you are really going to be in trouble :-). I believe there is probably a good fictional short story involving a scheme to remove CO2 from the air to fight climate change, having it go amok and instead result in a second "oxygenation event"[1] making very large animals practical again from an energy conversion standpoint.

You are taking personal offense to a historical event that did happen and was recorded by multiple independent sources.

Nobody said they didn't. Point was that people with "old" money who have always been of a higher social class than most believe falsley that they are better than they are, for the previously stated reasons. Yes, they are humans, and that's what happens to humans who are given too much. One of the many horrid things that happens to normal humans.
The central government's red line is separatism. For most issues, they're not interested in intervening in Hong Kong's politics. I think most of the current tension is fundamentally over the issue of separatism.

Ironically, the environmental movement in the US intentionally sabotages clean, cheap nuclear power.

France does fine on both counts. They standardized on a now-antique reactor design, and just kept stamping it out and backporting safety and process improvements to existing plants.

I suspect China has / will have a similar track record, but with newer designs.

I used to commit to github repos with varying results:

https://github.com/jhadjar/Notes

https://github.com/jhadjar/Language-Acquisition

I then experimented with Sphinx. Then a simple alias `kb` (for knowledge base) and `note` to save random notes to an markdown file synced in Dropbox.

Now I use MKdocs. An intern experimented with it and proposed it and that's what I use for now:

https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/

Original notes are here https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/notes/

Original knowledge base: https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/kb/

Notice the timestamps (the alias opened vi and put a timestamp).

I also use TaskWarrior and have an alias to commit and push the changes to the files to a private repo.

I should collect dispersed files on my disk that are the result of reading articles and books (I open a file in the same directory of a paper or a book and start writing thoughts at a coffee shop, which I send to coworkers, especially for papers).

Bottom line, now I use MKdocs with GitLab pages (for now). It works nicely. The alias is good for quickly jotting down to a file and saving, then it's cleaned and edited and incorporated in the proper file in the knowledge base.
Agree, I'm not exactly sure what it does. Maybe a link to what a 'hook' is in this context might help.

The CPU microcode updates are also delivered through motherboard firmware updates, so you'd have to avoid those too. But some of the microcode updates permit more efficient mitigations, so unless you can completely avoid software updates with mitigations, you might actually want some of the microcode updates.
I feel like there is an impedance mismatch between what CPU designers think memory protection guarantees and what developers think memory protection offers. For production code, I never got much higher level than “C with classes” and if you asked me 15 years ago if leaking bits of information through the branch predictor or memory buffer was a failure to conform to the x86 memory protection model I would’ve said no. Memory protection is mainly there to keep one app from crashing another. If you’ve got untrusted machine code running on your system, you’ve already been compromised. I feel like CPU designers are still in that mindset. They still measure their success by how well they do on SPEC.

Maybe instead of slowing everything down for the sake of JavaScript, we need a special privilege mode for untrusted code that disables speculative execution, sharing a core with another hyper-thread, etc.
Hmm, review and certification of open-source packages could likely be a business. Something similar to commercial Linux distributions, like RHEL, that test and vet their packages, but not limited to that.

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. It’s both everything and nothing at the same time. And worst yet if I openly come out against it I come off as some kind of climate denier? The whole thing stinks. It’s the worst kind of politics I’ve ever experienced. It’s as if the bill was just a simple way to divide people up into tribes.

I personally experience this problem on a daily basis.

I am a professional diving guide and instructor working at on a small island in the South China Sea.

For me it is very difficult to balance the sense of pride and joy of creating new environmentalists every day who learn to value our precious and rare remaining reefs against the anger and revulsion I feel towards the selfie crowd that stomps all over coral and harasses wildlife on a daily basis.

Tourism is a necessary evil in many places, without it my island would be in poverty and its people living off the reef for daily nutrition instead of protecting it.

I don't know what the long term solution is, but there are definitely days where I wonder if I am doing the right thing.
> because it leaks information about what other threads are doing by the very virtue of how it works (using CPU resources the other thread isn't utilizing in a very fine grained clock-for-clock way)

The issue with MDS is not which CPU resources each thread is using. It's something much more subtle. The issue with MDS is data left over by each thread within internal temporary buffers, which shouldn't be an issue since these internal temporary buffers can't be read by the other thread before being overwritten. However, in the phantasmagoric world of Spectre, these residual values can leave an impression which can be picked up through careful manipulation.

Notably, MDS can also be exploited by the same thread. This is what the microcode updates are about: they hijack a useless legacy instruction from the 90s, adding to it the extra behavior of clearing all these internal temporary buffers. Operating systems are supposed to call this instruction whenever crossing a privilege boundary. The problem with SMT is that it's really hard to make sure both threads are on the same side of all privilege boundaries all the time.

Also note that, as far as we know, all AMD processors, even the ones with SMT, seem to be immune to MDS. This shows that this vulnerability is not a fundamental property of SMT, unlike other side channels which depend on the resource usage by each thread.
