KASLR is already broken on AMD systems. #1 is unpatched (AMD says "it doesn't directly leak memory", only the page table mappings, ie breaks KASLR) and #2 the PREFETCH+TLB-Evict combo is still unpatched unless you use non-default hardened configs (only mitigated by enabling KPTI which AMD recommends be disabled by default). #2 also allows a Meltdown-style attack which exfils data directly but hey, also breaks KASLR too.

Not really sure how to square this analysis against this op-ed from the WSJ today: https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitters-lawsuit-against-elon-m...

(The WSJ article was clearly written in a professional tone, and it made eminent sense - whereas I have a hard time believing the person who wrote this blog got their J.D.)

Matt Levine has also done his usual whiny sarcastic coverage of the event and come up with something more akin to what this person (and Twitter armchair lawyers) think.

I guess I'll wait until the dust settles but I think the guys from the WSJ are gonna be right.
I think all the comments miss that this comment is said as a joke. I don't think OP is meant that they literally did that - it would be a particularly dumb law enforcement move that would jeopardize the entire case.
It is frankly just delusional to act like there aren't solvable problems with the capitalist mode of production and the problems it's caused in, esp., the past two decades. Current wars enrich already massive corporations at the expense of what they see as disposable lives on all sides of those wars. It's very easy to claim people have been lifted out of poverty when we define the poverty line as an absurdly low number.

Just looking at the US, the poverty line is $13,590/yr for a single person, and $4,720 for each additional person. You cannot afford to live anywhere on that income. The global poverty line is $1.90/day, not even $700/yr. That is still poverty no matter how much we pretend it's not, as you cannot just define poverty away, ignore the actual material conditions that these income levels experience, and call it success. That's simply lying on paper and has predictably produced this very persistent and dubious claim.

It seems like my vision quality changes rapidly enough that I don't need glasses to last more than a couple years. And like others here I just order a bunch on zenni. Bonus: I like that I can get a bunch of styles without worrying about wasting hundreds on a single pair.

> I don't see why they're worried about location data that much, as phone location is not accurate enough to say an individual was somewhere at a specific time or to show their route in a city within a few feet,

Cell phones can provide precise GPS coordinates and cell phone tower data alone can give a person's location to within a mile while things like bluetooth beacons and wifi network info can give accurate data to within several meters. One of the major concerns with 5G is that because of the need for a much more extensive network of towers cell phone companies will have everyone's location data with precision measured in feet.

As for not meeting the legal standard for evidence of a crime, it's already being used to identify suspects. It may not enough evidence on its own to convict someone, but it is enough to get you questioned/investigated/arrested.

Why does Israel feel ok or justified in apartheid treatment of Palestinians (treating as lesser-than)?

And why do Americans and especially American Jews defend or turn a blind eye to this behavior?
The point about Lisp is that, lists aren't just the main data structure: programs themselves are lists. Many years ago, I began developing a language in which programs are directed graphs (http://fmjlang.co.uk/fmj/FMJ.html), and on which I still work when I find the time. One of my aims was to make the language fully homoiconic, like Lisp. The problem I had, and which I've only solved recently, is that directed graphs in mathematics just have vertices and arcs, each of which can be labelled, and that's all, but programs in FMJ have vertices (but with ordered inputs and ordered outputs) and arcs, but also constants and enclosures. So programs are extended directed graphs, and the extensions are only really useful for writing programs. Now I have shown that programs are homeomorphic to directed graphs in the mathematical sense - graphs with just labelled vertices and arcs can be converted to programs and vice-versa. I have also added graph processing primitives, but haven't got much further as I've been busy with other things. I do intend to update my web pages soon, with descriptions of the graph processing and the other features I've added.
I had the first same thought. But then also, media has always been alarmist/click-baity, and that's the way story is told. That's true whether its Fox News or New York Times. Doesn't make this story necessarily wrong, but maybe not as dire as the way story/headline is framed.
I could totally see that happening. We've definitely had updates that cause more problems than help.

All of which is factual and none of which detracts from the main point which is why did a CBP officer ask the woman (as quoted by the woman herself) whether she had had an abortion? Questioning this is a legitimate basis for an article given what's happening in the US. Nowhere in the article is the claim made that she was deported due to an abortion.
The counterexample to your point is that brand new 16-year-old human drivers seem to do a pretty good job of driving with very little training data. Yes, they do kill people and they're much worse drivers than 40-year-olds who have much more training data, but the fact that 16YOs kill as few people as they do with so little training data means some other mechanism than raw data quantity is important.
rust-analyzer for a long time expands all kinds of proc-macros. The only project it does not work (although to be honest I didn't really tried) is rustc.
Sorry I can't help you, I'm not always in front of my TV (I don't even own a TV)... but there are probably easy solution to cast it to your phone or computer...

But to tell you the truth, I hate looking at the camera footage... I just keep a month worth in my archive and never look at it unless something important happened.
I lived and worked in Silicon Valley for years. It has a mild climate. That's about the best I can say about it. It's near other places that are nice, so it's tempting to have a long boring frustrating energy sapping commute. I swapped my cubicle for a little slice of heaven in the forest and now phone it in. It would take a lot more than pleasant public transport to get me to go back.

"How ya gonna keep 'em Down in Paree (After They've Seen the Farm)?"
That's why I mentioned that your needs are met. There's tons of people that have a costco-sized bucket of food and water than lasts for a week up to a month. Large swaths of Americans do this. Not sure about others. Better than waiting for peanuts at a fema line.
The VC funding model just isn't appropriate for game studios. I'll go even further and extend that to any content business. Why? Because games specifically and content in general don't scale with how much money you have or spend. We've seen countless examples of this.

Remember Angry Birds? Rovio took VC funding. How did that work out?

Netflix arguably may have run itself into insolvency by overspending on original content to the point where it enters a death spiral of losing subscribers and raising subscription prices to compensate.

Just because you create 1 successful game or TV show or movie doesn't mean that if someone hands you a large check you can't create 10 more just as successful. It doesn't even mean your organically successful original content will remain successful.

Of course there are successful franchies in gaming (eg Call of Duty, Halo, Assassin's Creed). These may end up being worth something and do have an inbuilt audience so they scale better ut they still take significant work.
Pokemon Go was hugely popular, but basically making the same game with less popular brands/new IPs on top of them was never going to work. And that seems like all their other projects were.

Phones still aren't really able to provide a proper immersive AR experience, there's only so much you can do with gamified Google maps.
I agree that the EV tech stack is easy. EV retro fits illustrate how simple EV's are. But that's not the part that matters. What matters is if you can make an outsized profit building and selling EV's. Legacy auto can't, Tesla can. Tesla is very vertically integrated so they can eek out extra margin that others can't. They also aren't inhibited by the existing dealer / service / financing model. So what I'm saying is if legacy auto wants to compete with Tesla, they have to refactor their entire business. And i don't see that happening. It will be interesting to see who is right in 5-10 years.
Take a look at China customs data before you claiming that: http://english.customs.gov.cn/statistics/Statistics?ColumnId...

Before any of the "data from china are fake" guy turning up, customs data can be collaborated with other country's data, do it with your U.S. or europe data to see whether imports from China have any significant change.

I do similar but use centrafugal forces to spin dry them almost dry with arm swings. Then I use toilet tissue dabbed to get the final few drops off (not wiped!). Toilet tissue can be scratchy so you might want an alternative but for me it's not doing much work and it's always at hand.
Let me first say: impeccable article from The New Yorker. It's the only mainstream bastion of proper editing and spelling left (maybe The Economist, too). I don't think I've ever found a typo in their articles; as opposed to CNN/WaPo/NYT/FOX where I find typos and grammar errors routinely (even on their front pages).

> Thursday. I describe it to my friends as “the grownup hookup app.” By “grownup,” I mean not only that its users are above a certain age but also that they favor a kind of maturity and decorum; by “hookup,” I mean that the app facilitates not romance but sex, broadly defined. It is not the place to find your “down-to-earth, no-drama girlfriend” or your “partner in crime.”

How exactly does this translate into "emotional maturity?" Sounds like the writer is trying to ascribe some kind of moral superiority to enjoying non-vanilla casual sex. I mean, that's cool I guess, and no judgment, but from where I stand, dealing with bills, conflict resolution, changing diapers, attending PTA meetings, having to put kids through college, etc. probably requires way more "emotional maturity" than hooking up on a dating app.

But maybe that's just me.

> Not having a partner and not having kids may mean that you have more sporadic sexual encounters with people you do not know very well.

I get that there's an agenda at play here (the very next sentence gets into abortion), but this is provably false. Young people are having less sex than ever[1]. In fact, many psychologists and sociologists are worried about a potential population bust. The root cause is unknown.

The rate of production can’t be specified using energy, it needs to be the time derivative of it (unless the overall output of the factory from being opened to being closed is specified, which I don’t think is the case in the article). The unit needs to describe - power.

Whether you use Joules or horse power weeks is beside the point as they can easily be converted into each other.
I read somewhere that this is because MS Teams uses Electron which is an end-user-hating memory pig.

This already exists: programming languages that supports refinement types. Examples are Liquid Haskell and F* (F-star).
I heard that when cameras were first invented, some cultures rejected them because they believed they were stealing their souls. Sounds like some silly superstition but I have a feeling that what both them and you are really worried about is the fact that people looking at a photo of you are only seeing a small slice of your "soul" or personhood disconnected from the social interactions that would normally occur if they were looking at you in real life. So it's more a worry about losing control of your influence over how other people perceive you, which is a major part of being human.
Avoid alcohol before bed. In any quantity. It is incredibly disruptive to sleep cycles. You will fall asleep, but quality is not good. There is a reason many studies use it to disrupt REM.

Thanks for adding the "/y" which is what was missing for me.
I agree with throw_xxx_rated, very weird title. I tried Feeld and there are basically no vanilla people on it. You are pressed to fit yourself by one of the many new-age hyperspecific sexual orientations and fetish boxes and introduce yourself by your sexual interests. Rather than a "emotionally mature hookup app", I would dub it "Fetlife for people under 35".

There's a certain group of people that prefers to define themselves by their sexuality these days. Good for them, I don't care. I don't think this is "emotionally mature" though nor is it ideal for a dating app. Yes sex is important, but no, it is not the first thing I want to know about you, nor is it something we need to be broadcasting to the world. In turn, many professionals on the app don't show their face because they don't want to be seen on Feeld, while others fill their profile with photos of them elaborately tied up in shibari. A weird dichotomy for sure, and I stopped using the app shortly after I started (there are barely any people on the app anyway, and I live in a major US city).
SO it should be out of the house for him.

You might be even more heartened to know that one of the top most and highly respected computer scientist, Donald Knuth, is ardently religious. The contrast between his works that is extraordinarily precisely well reasoned after decades of thinking and his complete submission to ancient religion where logical reasoning is not all that welcome, is absolutely a thing to behold. It makes me marvel at complexity and perhaps still evolving nature of our brains that can even do this. I used to be very interested in personalities who you would absolutely consider highly intellectual and utterly rational but at the same time extremely religious. My observation was that these people had developed some sort of switch in their brain which suddenly turns on and off depending on subject matter. One very common trait was also that all of these high IQ people were exposed into religious practices since very early age with a lot of non-negotiable enforcement from otherwise very loving parents. It seemed to me that part of their growing brain had just carved out area which was basically off limits to questioning ancient religious practices. Human brain is fascinating thing.
This company has never been able to move on from being the Pokemon Go company, and they never will. I applaud them for their AR vision but unfortunately for all of us they got lucky with PGo and can’t replicate. And a string of hits is prerequisite to being able to pull of an AR platform like they dream of.

Firstly, not many kids and young adults are capable of assessing and understanding what they "truly want".

Secondly, someone "truly wanting" something does not always make that "something" good or correct. When I was an adolescent myself, there were several things that I "truly wanted", which would have led me down paths of ruin.

Thirdly, engaging the adolescent / young adult in productive ways - that don't necessarily need computers - is one thing that I have seen to be demonstrably beneficial. This involves a certain degree of interaction with them and doing things together.

All the best!
Doxx or hold people accountable for what they say online?

If someone says something of their own free will then puts it in "writing" on the internet of their own free will should they not be accountable for things they say and did of their own free will?

Personally I suspect this might be a useful tool for teaching budding new internet users that they're not anonymous when they hit "send".
But like any tool that ever existed, the potential for abuse is definitely there.

Can Planting a Trillion New Trees Save the World?
How do you think Hollywood works, if not by taking a group of actors and directors and producers that previously made a successful film and giving them a bunch of money to do it again?

Content absolutely does scale with budget--you can make 10,000 films that cost $10,000 to produce but they will never match the box office of a film that you spent $100M on. This should be obvious: you can't even afford to pay an actor with $10,000.
One effect of this is that if you order for pickup, you're paying prices that are inflated because they incorporate part of the delivery fee.

Or more charitably, if you order for pickup, you're paying to use their platform.

There could also be sales tax reasons to break the fees out like they do — i.e., some types of fees may be subject to sales tax, and other types not, so they fiddle with things to minimize the sales tax while still allocating reasonably.
512,000 cycles per poll is probably plenty but I think the SRAM might be a bit small for that code. Could something be made to fit in that and still do the same things? Probably but it likely wouldn't be as easy on either the software or hardware side. Sometimes a lunch is worth more than the extra hassle of optimizing.
