Right, you have to trick the outside world to perform the speculation for you. In the case of a web browser, you're not going to plug all those holes.

But in some cases, you probably could make it absolutely bulletproof. The closer to data->data transforms you get, the better.

For example, if you wanted a router that could run WASM blobs that make routing decisions. You pass in a header byte array and receive back route information.

Designed correctly, it's not a given that there is any surface area for an attacker to read data from a neighbour's address space.

No, this answer is tired and inaccurate. They successfully fool you into thinking they are much more complex than they really are. They use Bing and Bing alone for the SERP links (without this, you don’t have a search engine) and their crawlers fill in the handful of “onebox” results for certain queries. They keep changing this statement but it used to say “multiple sources like Bing, Yahoo, Oath”... all of which are just Bing. It’s Bing with a couple of add-ons. If Bing were to go away tomorrow, your beloved DDG would be done.

Do We Believe in U.F.O.s? That’s the Wrong Question
wasm binaries are typically size-competitive with native x86 once you compress them (i.e. foo.so.zip vs foo.wasm.zip), but the jitcode you get out of them is usually much bigger. In my testing the size overhead for stuff like the ICU unicode library was maybe 20-40% on-disk, depending on compiler settings. It's gonna depend on your workload.

Note that even if the actual generated jitcode is computationally efficient, it might be larger and as a result waste more space in the instruction cache, which would hinder performance.
Private equity, mostly. That's shorthand for corporate raiders taking over, cutting QA and other costs, trying to diversify the product lines, and banking hard on the brand to keep things going. If it worked, great, keep making that money, and if not then milk the sucker and run -- which is what we're seeing.

Problem is that modern manufacturing has gotten cheaper and more effective, and offerings from China, Turkey, Japan, and other brands in the US are only getting better, while Remington stayed the same (or even declined).

That link specifically states don't take it every day as a preventative measure in case you might end up getting Covid-19, not don't take it when you know you have it, like the grandparent said they were going to do.

It says don't do it because there are risks of gastrointestinal and brain bleeding, which would be a bad thing to risk if you don't currently have an illness.

It even links to the following article from the Mayo Clinic, which goes over the pros and cons of taking aspirin daily to prevent blood clots and heart attacks, and has recommendations for classes of people that they recommend should take aspirin every day. so I'd think if you have an active illness known to cause blood clots, it's probably worth risking the bleeding risks from the other.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease...

From the article: "Guidelines are varied between organizations, but they're evolving as more research is done. The benefits of daily aspirin therapy don't outweigh the risk of bleeding in people with a low risk of heart attacks. The higher your risk of heart attack, the more likely it is that the benefits of daily aspirin outweigh the risk of bleeding."

Anecdote is not data, but for awhile in my 20s I used to take aspirin pretty much every day just because I had constant issues with headaches. I think I did get an ulcer during that time, but it healed in time, once I stopped taking aspirin so often. Better than dying of a blood clot from a virus that still doesn't have a solid treatment, especially if you have to stay home and self-treat it.

Is this truly the optimal process?

One might be able to find a way to inquire about tenants' financial stability. Tough policies, without intent to follow-through seems a little like bullying/extortion.

Finding a way to work with tenants seems like an opportunity for a win-win. Deferring partial rent payments should see some uptake among those who will find work when the country finds a way to right the ship.

If you have good tenants whom you want to keep, keeping them may take work and discounts. I have colleagues who are working/schooling from home who have opted not to renew their expensive urban leases for the coming year. I suspect they would have renewed at a temporarily-discounted rate.

> If you have basic knowledge of that sort, you can kind of skim until the mid point, where we find the above factoid.

Well maybe you skimmed a little too much, because the article clearly talks about the negative effects of an overactive immune system response being characteristic in some patients, and there was plenty of evidence of that in some people's wrecked lungs. Part of the therapy is to guide and even suppress the complex immune system response to keep people's bodies from destroying themselves.

Your comment didn't mention any of that and might be read by some as a "move along, nothing to see here." I think this is definitely not the case and people would be better served to read the article itself instead of your comment dismissing it and instructing them to skip over the section about immune system response.
Many crashes are also due to pilot mistakes. Or due to some past damages done to the plane by previous pilots.

Aviation industry follows safety in redundancy principles. So on top of all the redundancy they are going to add in a system like this, I assume pilot will be part of the redundancy too.

Perhaps they can remove co-pilot soon. But, it will take a few years to go without any pilot. Even then perhaps they start with cargo airlines. I assume they can use a ground station as an emergency pilot like how military drones work.
I mean when using the price system which the author recommends for multi-currency transactions.

Not at all. Hypocrisy is the act of criticizing OTHERS for something, while engaging in the same behavior. That's completely beside the point and no-one talks about that here.
I have no problem with this move. One of my general principles, one I try to apply everywhere, it is: if you can perform an information processing task with your eyes and brain, you should have the freedom to program a computer to do that task. Under this principle, I have to allow public facial recognition: any functioning human can already do it, just at a smaller scale.

On other words, Rite-Aid employees can already recognize your face. Deal with it.

Why is my principle so important? Because the alternative conflicts with the computational enhancement of the mind, which is far more important than any illusory gains to had from banning this tech or that tech.

The worst thing ever is end-book-notes (or end-chapter ones) in a paper book. I have the habit of "precise reading", e.g. I usually read books from first to last page without skipping information. The "end-notes rich" books are the worst reading experience for me (bottom page foot-notes are OK).

When I write text I quite often use footnotes - they are special for the organisation of the text, adding kind of additional dimensions to the main narration.

I don't (or very rarely) use ebooks, so hard to tell.

"Footer" is a page/section element, not an in-text document relation. Footnotes are document or article relations, similar to sections or figures. The refer between the main text and supplemental material, with enumeration.

Again, how the note itself is presented should be definable by the author/publisher, media, device, or user, ranked from least to greatest priority.

Depends on where the eviction is occurring (some states/cities/counties are faster/slower). When I worked for a property manager, you didn't have to wait weeks for the deputies to show up. If an eviction was scheduled for a date, a deputy is there. The landlord hires contractors to move everything onto the curb, and the deputy is there to ensure there's no violence. If there's really this many evictions, they'll likely group them so that less deputies will be required.

Hopefully lots of things will slow it down, but I doubt that's one of them. The only thing that will definitely slow it down is to have longer moratoriums.

Egalitarian PC Revolution? What are you smoking? PCs were only available to the very wealthy and only the fortunate and privileged could hope to break into that industry.

The article doesn't make clear whether they turned the system off because it wasn't working due to masks, or simply wasn't doing what they meant it to do in the first place.

> “This decision was in part based on a larger industry conversation,” the company told Reuters in a statement, adding that “other large technology companies seem to be scaling back or rethinking their efforts around facial recognition given increasing uncertainty around the technology’s utility.”

Will it come back when the masks go away, or have they realized that it was never useful in the first place?

(They also claim it had nothing to do with race, which is kind of farcical since it's well known these recognition systems have trouble with race. It obviously has something to do with race, even if they're choosing to ignore that issue.)

In brief, my questions are these: Can these systems track the movements of people wearing masks? (I suspect they can, perhaps with some tweaking.) And assuming that these systems can provide accurate movement data through the store, does analysis of that movement data actually provide actionable suggestions of how to arrange the store that, when put to the test, actually increase sales? (I suspect the efficacy of this analysis is greatly overstated by those selling it, and stores are beginning to realize this.)

Refactoring Rails Code [Conversation]
>In my many years I have yet to find “Americans” doing roofing jobs for example.

Landscaping, too.

I never understood this from an economic perspective. The USA has rules in place for hiring non-citizens to come the country and fill jobs in landscaping. There are X slots a year.

Locally, the landscaping companies were complaining they couldn't do the work without those slots since they couldn't find workers due to the administration cutting the available non-citizen slots. They would come on the radio, complain to a host about hiring college kids to work, but they would leave after a few days.

The landscaping companies weren't raising the wage paid to attract and keep the people who would stay, though. They did raise the wage slightly, but not enough to move the needle.

Shouldn't the wage raise until you attract those people willing to do the work and stay? In turn, the cost of landscaping would rise to the customers.
