The question is why? What features of newer CPUs are they using that aren't in older processors? Is it the built-in security processors in new CPUs or taking advantage of newer instructions?

Realistically, he simply pissed off members of the ruling class of the US. Their presence has become significantly more obvious in recent years.

Other than that, I'd say it's mostly a 'show me the man, I'll show you the crime' sort of thing.
Agreed!

It's just the home screen so it shouldn't be that much of a security hole. If it were the OS it'd be a bigger concern.

So many updates these days have nothing to do with security, just with "feautes" nobody asked for apart from random product manager who needs his paycheck.

Creepy hypothesis on why it affected teenage girls way more than teenage boys: more girls are stuck at home with someone they desperately want to get away from. This would also explain why there was not a similar increase in 18-25 year old women.

My point above was not about how to deal with it, but only to point in the direction of it being very very much not a “stretched hypothetical”, but a reality of a vast quantity of consumer software, including critical things that are difficult for people to replace. (My worldmodel doesn't judge your proposed counter very highly either, FWIW, but I don't feel up to arguing that part just now.)
This is awesome but I'm curious why they tried it first on this super-rare disease instead of something more common?
And don't forget that truth also depends on the observer. If for some reason my sensor is not calibrated properly, my "truth" will be different compared to your truth. It does not mean I necessarily lie, or that I do it intentionally.

Academia has been trying for centuries to crack this nut, and it is not easy.
This is actually something that keeps tempting me to try arch, since it having gone all-in on systemd early on would hopefully give me a more 'native' systemd experience and help me figure out which of my gripes are with systemd and which of them are with how-$distro-added-systemd.

Thing is, I'd only want such an install for playing around with occasionally and as the argument upthread makes pretty clear, "doing a bulk upgrade occasionally" is something that really isn't regarded as a sensible way to run arch.

That’s the problem people are upset about is this is forced upon you with zero realistic alternatives. Apple puts it into the settings whereas you have to use adb to forcefully swap the launcher. That’s a pretty bog difference c

So use the government to fix the problems that the government created?

That makes as much sense as wanting to increase government regulations but defund police to enforce those new regulations.
Not at all: from what I've seen, that sort of thing doesn't have to start out as intentional nefariousness. We've just got some state actors who've developed real skill and determination at twisting all sorts of existing entities to their ends: this is considerably easier in the service of chaos politics than it would be if they were trying to set up an orderly, top-down spy network or some such thing.

You don't have to start OUT as a honeypot or a tool of foreign intelligence. It would be a pretty lousy intelligence service that had to start with pre-existing cooperation and alliance. Much better to work at twisting things, and then rely on rationalization and perhaps back it up with threat and intimidation. There's nothing new about any of this, it's just done with flair, ingenuity and determination. Or has been: I think there's a limit to how far that can go.

That's because QA and Statistical Process Control were born out of manufacturing due to the high stakes with processes and tooling not being able to change on a dime like software does. I'm not surprised at all there.

Software Quality Assurance is much more... Spongey.
> No, it's about latency. See the absolutely vehement reaction to streaming services for twitch shooters on gaming forums.

By putting trusted hardware close enough to the player you reduce the latency problem to a cost problem. This is more or less what game consoles currently happen do (of course the issue is that users still pay for it rather than the game company).
Also, twitch shooters existed before rootkits. Choices made by game companies such as matchmaking with untrusted strangers probably exacerbated the problem over the years.

> Waiting for a round trip from two players with server frame times could be up to 250ms,

Only if they're living on different continents or have very high latency internet providers. Many games provide region-based servers for that reason.

And it's only a roundtrip that has to happen anyway. Clients stream their updates as they take actions, server reconciles them as they arrive and broadcasts the updates to all clients. This is the minimum amount of time it takes to get the information from player A to player B anyway unless you establish p2p connections between the clients and those happen to be lower latency than contacting the server.

> you can spin that either way, either the shooter gets the advantage, or the defender gets the advantage.

That doesn't matter, the point is that leaving reconciliation of some game actions to the client means clients can lie about something and claim that it was preempted by another action.

> Most game engines are broken. The reality of the situation is that 1) this stuff is _really hard_, and 2) there are tradeoffs to be made at every single step of the process that affect how the game plays and feels.

A problem being difficult is not a good justification for externalizing the costs, especially considering that hardware may be shared with other people and botnets that might use those weaknesses create further externalties.

> "I actually did shoot at that guy 50ms ago".

That would mean trusting the client's clock which quite obviously is something you shouldn't do. Arrival time should be the only thing that matters.

> The number of people who are willing to do that is drastically smaller than the number of people willing to pay $130 a month for a rootkit that they willing install [0]. As I said in my previous comment, this isn't about eliminating cheating 100% - it's a cat and mouse game. It's about raising the barrier to entry from credit card to specialised hardware.

That's only the tradeoff from the game dev perspective. It's totally ignoring the security or privacy implications of running these rootkits and the ever-escalating system restrictions that they demand. This is the crux of the argument. If we were only talking about game devs making tradeoffs between different game experiences, risk for themselves, profit and so on there wouldn't be a problem. But they're making a tradeoff with other assets that are not theirs.
What's the reasoning behind not disclosing the list of games affected?
Any society that is premised on the rule of law already has to solve that problem in the enforcement; there is no rule of law without arbitration of facts relating to whether the law is upheld or not.

So, probably the courts. That's an imperfect solution, but it beats the hell out of the position that any attempt to arbitrate the truth is unacceptably oppressive.

On another level: everyone has an obligation to arbitrate the truth as honestly and ably as they're capable, in every domain they have responsibility for, first and foremost in training themselves to be more careful about their own blind spots, tendencies, incentives, and limits, and then in exercising whatever influence and authority they have.

I think there's two reasons memory usage is lower. First, WebView2 is essentially just another tab in an already running browser process. If they're not pinning to a specific version of WebView2, they're reusing the host machine's copy of Edge, which I believe is always running now, so startup latency is reduced. I think their numbers don't include the memory usage of this "always on" instance, and only count the Teams-specific memory usage. Second, Microsoft has done a lot of under-the-hood work to reduce memory usage of Edge on Windows that hasn't made it upstream into Chromium, so I suspect that gives them an additional decrease in memory usage simply by switching from Chromium to Edge-Chromium.
They traced it back to the IRA and named the specific people involved on the Russian side and the method (email phish of Podesta).

The Mueller report goes into specific detail or you can listen to the lawfare blog podcast that goes through it.

“Collusion” is a poorly defined term, the report found their actions didn’t rise to the level of criminal conspiracy, but there was plenty of evidence that the campaign was interested in support and responded to it (“collusion”).

Donald Trump Jr. just didn’t realize Russia was interested in getting the Magnitsky act revoked when he took the meeting and he was disappointed when the Russians didn’t have the “emails” (from the private server, not the DNC emails). The Russians thought they could manipulate their self-imposed orphan adoption ban issue, but DTJ didn’t care about orphans.

American intelligence agencies (or any intelligence agency) are not going to provide you with the precise methods they use to determine where the attack came from.

I suspect no evidence will meet your extraordinary standard because you’re only looking for evidence that supports an existing position based primarily on political motivated reasoning and cognitive bias.
A vehicle that publishes anything without restraint is just a loudspeaker. When Wikileaks got hold of leaked emails in the middle of a political smear campaign, I expected it to be better and delay the publishing.

I honestly don’t understand what you are trying to say here. Not shipping a game would certainly result in less profit. These entities are profit motivated, so they make decisions to maximize profit. They decided shipping a game with a root kit is the best option available to them.
Someone on HN posted a link to a job board site they built which aggregates these companies, in a comment within the past couple months. I'm unable to find it now but hopefully that makes another appearance here!
Having that support come in the form of installing both on all systems does have its downsides though.

OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised if every other feasible approach's downsides are widely regarded to be worse.

Software. Yay :D
Courts currently do a decent job at determining some truth (whodunnit) – while a lot of innocents get convicted (and sometimes death row'd, in the more backwards corners of the world), it's pretty good within its limited domain of truthseeking.
I'm afraid it is most evident that you do not see. Forget trying to guess what I might or might not think about aerodynamics. Just see if you can follow the following recap of the conversation:

1) anvandare says aeroplanes can fly upside down. This is an argument AGAINST a putative person who argues that lift is entirely a function of aerofoil shape, ignoring angle of attack. In advancing this argument, anvandare implies that he DOES understand and contend that angle of attack is significant.

2) You say something unclear about "effective change of shape", apparently attempting to rebut anvandare, who, remember, contends that angle of attack is significant.

3) I say that what you said about "effective change of shape" is unclear, meaning I am rebutting you, meaning I agree with anvandare that angle of attack is significant.

4) You form the impression that I believe angle of attack is not significant, and tell me that if I believe angle of attack is not significant, then I am wrong.

Can you see where you have gone wrong there?

If that's "a flood," you must live in a very dry place.

A. He wasn't president at the time.
B. While it's natural to assume that a candidate is aware of, and is ultimately responsible for, everything his campaign does, I've distinguished between his campaign colluding and Trump personally colluding.
C. Everything that has already been made public about the campaign makes further claims that are less well documented not extraordinary.

> poor and circumstantial evidence that's hard to sort through and falsify

Allow me to spoon-feed an important part to you. Don Jr. publicly released emails about the Trump Tower meeting, those are real and not circumstantial evidence in his desire to collude and others in the campaign attended the meeting with foreknowledge of this. Google 'don jr "i love it"' and there are a zillion news stories about them, I don't know how you missed them at the time. An NPR story linked to a complete PDF [0] of what Don Jr released. Here's the beginning of a NY Times story [1] about them:

> The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit: One of his father’s former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton.

> The documents “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

> If the future president’s eldest son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of a continuing effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no indication.

> He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

That's why proper engineering is to address all the causes, even if fixing just one of them would have prevented the accident.

You'll see this regularly in the series Aviation Disasters on TV. It has lessons for all engineering projects. I watch every episode :-)
I've seen a fair share of googlers who work 4 days a week and getting 80% of the pay. Most prefer to get 100% of the money though, especially since at review time you're judged on what you accomplished, not raw butt-in-the-seat time.

Likely sub-100% work time is something you'd have to negotiate with your managers after spending some time at a company, not right from day 1. One case I've seen - a guy working 50% between google and PhD (working on alternating weeks) flat out said there's no way in hell he'd get hired into this kind of arrangement - it was only after building trust with management and moving to a team with lower workload/stress.
I wanted to use Samsung Health app but it now only runs if I add permission to make phone calls.

That is not what dynamic dispatch means! It is an extremely well established term, with a very clear meaning, and that is not what it means.

I thought you were just mistaken about something, but no, instead you've redefined a well understood term without telling anyone, then aggressively refused to clarify what you meant by it and argued for hours with people, while saying they were all wrong when they used the well established term to mean its well established meaning.

The thing you're talking about is an interesting concept, but it's not called dynamic dispatch, and you will confuse everyone you talk to if you call it that. I don't know if there's a term for it.
Yeah.

I guess it must be as simple as a) switching voltage regulation vs b) resistive voltage regulation.

Not that I agree we should bury our heads in the sand like luddites, but to be fair to OP, knives can only hurt or help in a tiny human radius. It's hard to make an extinction-level weapon (or extension level accident) out of them.

Interesting, I did some quick Googling and was able to find a good handful of 2020 models with no ads, but none for 2021. I'll take your word for it that they don't exist, but the fact that this is the first year where that appears to be the case is not strong evidence to me that this is the steady-state of the TV market.
Indeed. SICP does take ages. I only worked through the first three chapters and it took me a year. I skipped a handful of problems that simply didn't interest me enough. This was several years ago and I hope to pick up from where I left off some day :/

the reason for "fetishizing abstractions" is that you can write libraries that work with the generic structure of those abstractions, and are therefore automatically useful for all the specific cases. the design of ruby's "Enumerable" library in the standard lib is a good example, it's a huge collection of methods that works for anything that supplies an 'each' iterator.

The same argument can't be made for other goods. Bitcoin bakes the energy cost of transaction processing into the security model. Security and ownership transfer for cars and televisions relies on good old-fashioned physical locks and paper records. That has other inefficiencies, but not much energy cost. The introduction of the internal combustion engine to the world definitely involved some tradeoffs in terms of pollution and mineral extraction, but it was always possible to make cars more efficient without breaking the basis of the ownership record for cars.

To get a force acting upwards on the wing, there must be a downward reaction on the airstream.

This downward force on the airstream bust change its direction.

This change of direction is a rotation about the airfoil. Specifically a downwards rotation.

The airstream moving above the centerline of this rotation is moving in the same direction, and thus will be accelerated faster.

The airstream moving below the centerline of this rotation is moving in the opposite direction, and so will be decelerated to a slower speed.

The center of this rotation happens to be along the camber line of the airfoil, so all the air above the camber line (ie over the top of the airfoil) must move faster, while all the air below the airfoil must move slower.

The vortex is just the bulk rotational movement of the airflow. In fact, the airfoil can be replaced by anything that will generate the same vortex, like a rotating cylinder.

As a UX designer: too few companies understand the importance of UX and the difference between UX and UI. It is still too difficult to convince the stakeholders of the importance of user research, adherence to usability and accessibility guidelines, and user testing. Those activities have a cost, both in terms of money and time. But they can save a project, strongly reducing the risks of failure.
