What is this logic? If we cannot fix 100% a problem then we should not even try to curb it?

No, introducing gun laws will not stop 100% crime and violent acts. It will not even stop 100% of gun violence.

Still it does not mean that we should treat rampant gun violence as the norm.

These massacres do not happen outside the US at this scale.
"Whonix alone" is probably fine against browser exploits in the Tor browser (of which I generally assume there are many, because it's a browser of Very Much Interest to plenty of agencies). However, if you assume a "dirty host," with various bits of nastiness on it, if you're just using Virtualbox or something, it would be easy enough for a compromised Whonix workstation VM to chatter away with the host and have the host beacon out, or have the host modify the disk images for Whonix to add badness, or something of the sort. It's not a high risk, but if you're going to be doing something with Tor where failure of opsec puts you in prison for life (see DPR), it's something to consider.

Qubes adds a few more layers of isolation and security, because you now have a Type 1 hypervisor under everything (currently Xen), with your other isolation VMs separated out. Badness in another VM can't directly impact the Whonix VMs, unless it's compromised Dom0, at which point you've lost with Qubes anyway.

Both are at risk from a hypervisor escape as well, but I generally consider Xen to be a somewhat better inspected and harder to escape from target than Virtualbox or VMWare Workstation, just because there's less to Xen. It's a far smaller codebase, and when you're using hardware virtualization with paravirtualized devices (virtio-type interfaces), there's just not as much surface exposed for attack. It's not impossible, but I would generally consider VMWare/Virtualbox somewhat softer targets to escape from than Xen.

Again, does any of this matter for casual use? No. But if you're going to use Tor for things that have actual consequences, it may very well matter a lot, and at that point, fully understanding the various threats and how they've been used over the years may be a matter of your freedom.

For whatever it's worth, I try to add Tor traffic where I can, just to help with the noise factor.
Canada had a mass shooting in 2020 in Nova Scotia where 23 people were murdered by a guy well known to the police.

The Wikipedia article only covers the major ones, but Canada has a mass shoot pretty regularly too. And if shooting scale by population, you'd expect the US to have 10x as many - all else being equal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mass_shootings_in_Can...

Certainly NOT saying it's not a problem, but one needs to put things in perspective if you want to get to the root cause.
Interesting. When compared to places like Australia, where guns are highly regulated and barely anyone owns a gun, such that there have been no mass shootings for 35 years, the solution really is obvious.

My hardware design prof in undergrad had a story about one of the chip manufacturers having some cray fast internal clock in the 70s or 80s that was running microcode to implement the processor’s ISA. In my (probably faulty) memory I think the story was something like 800 MHz made by a weird brand (weird to my naive undergrad brain) like Rockwell or something, while the instruction clock presented to the user was maybe in the single or double digit MHz. No idea if I’m remembering right, and my Google Fu is failing to verify this story. But anyway, to your point, modern GPUs have a bunch of different clocks for different sub-systems.
>In the public sector of Denmark we suddenly had to view the risk factor of America not remaining a safe harbour for data in the wake of the 2016 election.

I honestly had to look this up since I did not believe you that Denmark would take until 2016 to realise that keeping public sector data in a foreign country was a bad idea. I mean what, Bush and Snowden didn't convince Denmark that the United States was not a safe place for data? All danish public data getting a nice look over by the NSA didn't alarm anybody?

Is business continuity more of a concern amongst the Danish than privacy? The only novel thing I can recall Trump doing is effectively barring Huawei from using things like Google Play Services. Or is Trump simply enough of an asshole that the higher ups got riled up about him? It's so strange to me to think a country would only be concerned about this after Trumps election, to me data sovereignty seems like something one should have been concerned about around the late 90s or early 00's.

This entire article just baffles me as if data sovereignty is some bizarre development instead of something you should have been thinking of from the start. Does the government of one country store its personnel files in the warehouses of another country? Seems kind of insanely naive to me.
There aren’t really any automatic weapons in the US, unless they were manufactured before a certain date and you have a particular hard to acquire license. You may mean semi-automatic. I assume you don’t know many gun owners. I grew on a farm in the south and Incan assure you that when people there say “come and take them,” they mean it. At this point you’re talking about a lot of very armed veterans and hunters, it just doesn’t seem practical. If you could wave a magic wand, who knows it may work but that isn’t really an option.

I think there have to be other approaches here that can actually happen. The element of cultural memesis and role of the media in making anti-heros of these deranged young men is worth examining. It’s also pretty clear that the current approach to bullying in schools isn’t working at all. It also seems like it’s just too easy for some young men in their late teens to just fall through society’s cracks, I don’t know what the answer is there.

>wouldn't be able to kill dozens of innocent kids so easily if they didn't have access to firearm

There are much more destructive and arguably easier ways to kill _more_ people. Someone that is more than willing to march into an elementary school and take the lives of innocent children wouldn't just stop their plan to do such a thing because they can't get access to a gun. They'll go down to their local uhaul or start a fire.

unfortunately in this digital age especially - I forsee that those who want to lash out in this mass murder way will continue to do so if we have twice as many guns or no guns at all.

Part of it is the notoriety and that comes with getting a large number - and if you can't do it will bullets - they will discover fire / carbon monixode, bleach and.. heck I'll bet there's a new fake ticktak challenge showing these things and more. how to recon to turn off AC and disable sprinklers and chain doors.. and the counts will be much higher.

I submit we need to focus on things like teaching conflict resolution, and have peer groups that can help the bullied and the slighted and things like that will likely have a better impact on changing these things.

(there's not enough counselors and they don't have enough reach when they are available)

I mean stressing the kids to learn geometry (and not conflict resolution) and just ignore the bullies is not working.

luckily locking doors and other methods can help with the bullets issue, that won't prevent mustard gas or a bus exhaust from penetrating and making someone famous.
> It's clear that this is the way Americans wish to live

That’s not clear at all. The US has more anti-gun-violence activists than anywhere else in the world.

There is some amount of friction, different in each country but not zero anywhere, between “what people want” and “what is the law”. Do you think North Koreans prefer living under a corrupt dictatorship? Why don’t they just make the dictatorship illegal?

That’s an extreme example of course: the US political system is closer to European-style proportional parliamentary systems than it is to North Korea, but it’s still very different from them, and in many meaningful ways is not actually a democracy.

I didn't know this, but the Australia gun ban, just removed certain types of guns - about half the latest data I saw.

Australia still has plenty of legal guns around. And it's clearly still a problem with illegal guns. Not as big a problem as the US, but still a big problem.

Compilers and languages have had a very long time to work on autovectorizing existing code for SIMD (54 years since ILLIAC, 25+ since SPARC VIS and MMX from Intel in 1994/1997). It mostly doesn't work for C/C++. The language has to support it, other optimization opportunities will be constantly blocked by lack information and/or restrictive specified semantics of operations.

The potential of transparent SIMD use by compilers has apparently stayed marginal enough that no mainstream application languages in all that time have updated towards facilitating it.

That's not even all the rules. Car keys must be shorter than one inch to prevent masd stabbing. Purchasing gas needs a license, 3 hour wait time to deter impulsive arsonists, and suspicious looks when you buy too much gas (more than 10 gallons) per day. Gas purchases are limited to 50 gallons per month per person. Selling gas, oil or engine parts to strangers is a felony. Windshields are banned, and tinted windshields is a crime with a minimum of 10 years in prison punishment, because windhields let criminals conceal their activity. Black "assault style" trucks are banned. Oil isn't illegal, but its use is frowned upon and it can be bought only from the right people on the outskirts of the state. Every accident involving more than 4 cars makes the media start whining about aboloshing all "machines of death", politicians arrange an urgent consilium and propose a bill to ban 4-wheeled assault-style machines, but usually fail to get enough votes.

> What limits, if any, does the 2nd amendment or the rest of the constitution place on the type of arms?

“The constitution”, as a written document, doesn’t put any limits on anything, because it’s irrelevant in practice, and constitutional law is pure kayfabe.

The real constitution, in practice, is the rulings of the Supreme Court, which has absolutely unlimited latitude for “interpreting” the written document however it wants.
The prediction is not that prices will fall. The average prices will stay high. They just won't go up as fast. So oil can stay at $100+ but it won't be rising as fast as it has in the past year. Prices rise as supply tightens but as supply stops tightening the price rise will slow. Also the fed is tightening the money supply so even if the prices are trending up there won't be as much money to chase the goods. In a sense the prediction says that the price shocks to the economy are slowing. I hope so because I don't want to deal with any more surprises.

Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Well, from a programmers perspective - it's all about what you are optimizing for.

We can end all car related deaths as well by outlawing all automotive vehicles.

We can eliminate or curb most sexual diseases by regimenting who one can have sex with.

We can end homelessness, by quartering local vagrants in the homes of the citizenry.

Solutions are easy. Side effects are less so.

If we are optimizing against the #1 all time cause of non natural death in the world - Democide - an armed populace does wonders.

Naively, you’d expect an inverse correlation between gun ownership and gun murder rate, as (I assume) gun murders are more common in cities where gun ownership is lower (more regulations, faster police response and fewer legitimate use cases).
Counting articles on Wikipedia isn't exactly scientific. So let's go hard numbers:

US has 10X as many firearms deaths per capita compared to Canada, which implies 100X as absolute value.
