I'm not sure how much you'd appreciate your grocery shopping choices (i.e., your personal exchange) to be regulated by the rest of your neighbors.
The product I buy off the shelf meets regulations for food standards so I don't get poisoned, packaging so I know what I'm buying, regulations for financial exchanges so one company can't dominate the shelf and build a monopoly, when I go to the checkout the financial transaction is again regulated which is why I can buy a stick of gum on my debit card without some stupid surcharge, even when I am asked how I want to take my goods home the process is regulated to discourage the use of a plastic bag which legally has to cost money and manages to reduce waste in the process.
I think the real differences is, my neighbours and I have a common interest. Maybe you just have bad neighbours.
A hard link (similar to a shortcut for you Windows users) was created.
Softlinks are like shortcuts. Hardlinks are something entirely different, multiple physical filesystem entries to the same blocks of data. If you make a shortcut to a file and delete the original then the shortcut doesn't do anything. If you make a hard link and delete the original then the link is unaffected and the blocks are only marked as deleted when all hard links are gone.
I think only Musk and his fanboys believed that they were smarter than the countless production engineers in 120 year old trillion dollar auto industry.
Indeed. I mean they were smarter than the 50 year old space industry. They were smarter than the 200 year old banking industry. They were smarter than the 120 year old auto industry.... Wait what? Oh yeah that's right they gave the entire industry a kick in the balls regardless of the fact that they had some failures in automation.
I never fail because I never try. Therefore I am the best at absolutely everything I ever do.
But I've been told that because Musk could land a rocket booster, he was absolutely going to be able revolutionize the car assembly line. It perfect logic, right?
It is perfect logic. You have to be able to take risks and try something new to achieve a new outcome. Ford did it too 90 years ago. Unfortunately innovation in the entire industry died in the 70s in favour of incremental engineering improvements.
For a large automation project like this, it's better to start with something you know works.
You're talking about a company that prides itself on technology and cutting edge, not bogged down by unions or 100 years of history. Honestly it's better for new blood to push the boundaries rather than playing it safe. It didn't work in this case. But if you start with something you know works then Musk's companies would be pushing ICE cars and super expensive rockets that can't be reused since after all everyone said that doesn't work.
Corporate VDI. A lot of the larger corporates are moving away from physical desktops towards having virtual desktops and thin clients.
A typical employee has far more access to systems and people to care about sophisticated spectre related vulnerabilities. If you have a nefarious employee you're effectively screwed. Corporate IT security is not equipped to handle this.
Suggesting that people should have 32GB of RAM to run a browser is preposterous
Indeed. But don't let the hyperbole get in the way of a solid argument. If you're the person likely affected by this 10% then you're a person not really concerned with your computer speed in the first place or you wouldn't be running a $300 POS with 2GB of RAM.
In this case POS can mean Piece of Shit or Point of Sale terminal but I actually think the latter may have more RAM than that in it these days.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like Chrome detects Intel CPUs before enabling this.
And why would it? This kind of fix resolves Speculative execution bugs, but it doesn't exclusively target them. This form of isolation is just good security practice in general, especially given the most likely attack vector is not the primary domain you're connected to.
1. Maybe you should get a better phone. 2. Thank god. Street names are useless. It's the codes that are listed on the street signs. 3. Maybe roads without codes are not meaningful for navigation. If you know where you want to go, just zoom to it. If you know the name just search it. 4. This one confuses me. One of its great features is that it DOES remember where you went and where you typically go. I don't know why you're sticking that post code in again, if you click the search bar the last place you searched is literally there at one click. 5. Searching locations is awesome and involves natural language processing. So you can literally find a place even if you can't remember the exact name of it. Unlike every other service where you not only need to know the name of the place but also exactly how it is spelled. 6. Factory reset your phone, something is majorly stuffed up if Google Maps crashes ever. 7. Settings > Notifications will literally give you 8 further submenus providing you incredible control over the exact notifications you want to receive. Seriously no other app allows so much customisation and fine control over notifications. 8. 3D buildings use pretty much no bandwidth. A single quick look at the satellite image will consume more bandwidth than about a month of the 3D renderings.
9. Just of the top of my head: You won't ever be happy with a mapping app that you refuse to learn how to use. I suggest maybe looking into your complaints a bit rather than just sitting there and complaining.
What interface? All you need is tabs and a scroll bar. The rest of the interface is dependent on the "apps" that you run in your browser these days, and Office365 looks the same on Firefox and Chrome.
Ahhh someone who still uses MS Office. Get with the program man the browser Javascript speed is directly related to how complicated and fast the modern version of the "application" works. If Office365 can have less UI lag then go for it.
If this were a discussion of Linux kernel outperforming the Windows kernel you'd be all over that. Time to give up on the idea of a web browser showing some text on a screen and time to face the reality of modern computing that is the glorified thin client running a browser based "OS"
One issue that matters to me is responsiveness and perceptible speed of the browser UI
The browser UI? Why are you using the browser UI? Do you use the Windows UI or the applications within it?:-)
I know what you mean, but these days the interaction I have with things are very much within the rendering window of the Browser. The Browser is a glorified alt+tab alternative. Increasing Javascript performance means increasing UI speed of things people actively use including Office365, Gmail, Facebook, etc.
If Firefox and Edge inhaled as much memory as Chrome, i'm sure they might also perform a little better
Then they should do it. RAM is cheap. It's in my system to be used as fast as possible. Cache the Jeebus out of websites if you have to. My server has 32GB of RAM currently with 31GB actively used for by the filesystem for caching.
Low memory footprint is something for RaspberryPis, not desktops. Give me speed!
My idea is already expressed in the rulebook as written. What you have done is present an idea, a concept. You want to turn that into a sport you need to make it a rule and a rule needs to be easily understood and simple to understand unquestionably while your mind is focused on something else.
So go for it: Define excessive Define defense and turn it into a sentence.
Slashdot Mirror
Only if you're incapable of rational thought do you come to that conclusion.
But hey you know a way to never fail: Don't take risks or try anything new. You know someone who could never do that? The auto industry.

why are you stealing from others to give money to people well off enough to afford homes?
Because he knows how governments work and subsidies work while you just think that everything is someone thieving from someone else.
Learn some economics. You'll look less silly that way.

No more slow CPU, no more extra RAM
And ponies! We want ponies too.
Remember the reason we're in this mess is because people didn't want slow CPUs in the first place.

How is a little university weather map even coming close to hitting the limits on the API?
Once you kill off all the map competitors, its only natural you would then raise prices.
What killing? There are now more map competitors than there ever were.
What eats the mosquitoes? Because whatever it is, you just wiped out a major food source for them.
They are non-native mosquitoes. This would be the equivalent of wiping out McDonalds from China. Life will go on.
Females would have to know that the male is sterile and only select non-sterile males
This isn't America. Healthcare is free in Australia. Just tell the males to get a sterility test and be done with it. It isn't cost prohibitive.
Comments: I'd rather an American company hoovering all my data up than a Chinese one.

Browser speed is not a factor today
