There's less chance of malpractice suits if your patient can't remember anything
While this is the norm it is also imperfect. Most of my time directly after my wisdom teeth surgery is a haze. But the bit I do remember is waking up briefly looking at 2 people with masks who suddenly said "fuck he's awake!".
Lasted 2 seconds, and that memory is permanently burned in my brain. It was like a movie complete with the dental surgeon holding a curved set of pliers.
Cryptocurrencies won't be measured against CPI until you can buy and sell products with them in a wide spread manner. While you're restricted to internal trading or trading against real currencies then the only way measure its value is against real currency.
It's amazing that you falsify a news article published on the 11th of January about something that happened recently using an article published on the 12th of December.
Smart money is on MS. They also fucked up AMD, to say nothing of their general software quality (Yay my Surface got the Creators update yesterday and now can't last half the day without the battery going flat).
Ubuntu also fucked up a kernel release but that was patched almost as quickly as it was noticed.
The changes issued by Intel are incredibly small literally a few hundred bytes of microcode changes (excluding of course that Intel mostly wrote KPTI for the Linux kernel).
Any refinery or chemical plant that is even remotely complaint with HSE rules should have very limited exposure to anything the control system can do to cause a truly major incident.
Sure it is trivial to shut it down or trivial to do something like cause catalyst or product to go to where it shouldn't. But any scenario that could cause something like an explosion should be identified and protected by safety systems independent of control systems and unable to be directly controlled.
Even when you look at oil industry incidents recently you can see the majority of accidents are due to missmanagement or bypassing of safety barriers for abnormal reasons which aren't properly risk assessed.
This potential scenario is one of the reasons the TRITON / TRISIS malware we covered recently got so much interest, and likely one of the reasons why the attacker was attempting to modify the code in the safety system.
A developer feature in a notoriously underused and worthless app store that makes no difference to the general person? I'm not feeling regret over this. Actually I'm feeling nothing. Should I be feeling something?
I love watch - "ArmBandUhr". Why yes, I suppose a watch IS an arm-band-clock.
That actually comes back to a grammatical oddity of shortening languages. We describe a Taschenuhr as a pocket watch, but the leave out the "wrist" of the "wrist watch" for the most common kind of watch. Technically this is no different in German. I don't think I've heard Armbanduhr (only the first letter of the noun is capitalised) used in conversation.
But if you really want to mess up your brain learn Dutch too. In German Uhr means clock or it means o'clock as in "Es ist fuenf Uhr" (5 o'clock). In Dutch "Het is vijf uur" But you can read that time from your "polshorloge", which is borrowed from the french word for clock "horloge" but not the french word for wristwatch "montre-bracelet"
If that wasn't bad enough: English: Who. Dutch: Wie. German: Wer. English: How. Dutch: Hoe. German: Wie English: Where. Dutch: Waar. German: Wo English: Was. Dutch: Was. German: War
Dutch has the advantage of getting rid of gendered nouns (which was a mindbogglingly stupid idea in the first place). (Gendered pronouns are also stupid but at least there are far less of them.)
Only half. There is still a gendered and neuter combination. When speaking Dutch I often fall back on little linguistic tricks. The Dutch are quite cute with their over use of diminutive forms of nouns, and all diminutives take a neuter gender. De auto, becomes het autooje, and you get an instant bonus for offending people who drive hummers.:-)
I'm not shilling false info for Intel. I'm shilling correct information for geekbench, endgadget, phoronix, anandtech, and probably several other's who's benchmarks I looked at the last few days but whose sites I've forgotten.
Please point me in the direction that says I'll have a 0% performance impact when I'm gaming. Please share.
That's just the first google result. Feel free to look at more of them. There actually is a performance impact. In a few games you get a 1 FPS speed boost after the patch. You're welcome.
Wow, amazing. You must have run your own benchmarks. Even Intel didn't say 0%! You should work for Intel.
Your cynicism is amazing. It's almost like you didn't realise that every sort of benchmark on a wide variety of loads, OSes and system configurations have been plastering the entire internet on this issue for the past week.
Even Intel didn't say 0% because they didn't run the loads that show a 0% change, i.e. games, web browsing, office applications. You know, the kind of things most users do, and the kind of things that have been widely benchmarked in the past week.
The internet is an amazing place, you should visit it.
If Intel is admitting a 10% slowdown then it must be much much larger. Because Intel and benchmarks don't live in reality.
Depends on how you benchmark. Most users will see 0% change in speed. Don't worry your alarmist sky is falling posts will be hitting Slashdot at the same speed they always have.
Only very select workloads will hit the 10% mark, and older CPUs will be worse effected than more recent ones. So if you run a datacentre in your home then freak out, those 10% are going to break you.
No nothing has changed in the past week. The patches slow down specific workloads and effect specific chips differently.
I.e. if you have PCID expect at worst a 10% performance drop. If you are a desktop user, expect no performance drop. Your bro is not a desktop user. If you synthetically bench systems without PCID in a way specifically designed to show the worst effect of this change expect somewhere between 20-30% drop, though in more realistic workloads that expose the worst it will likely be 10-20%.
Gamers will see 0% change. Office users will see 0% change. Your Facebooking mother will see a 0% change too.
Then something got fucked with the patching. Absolute single worst case scenario with a synthetic benchmark specifically designed to bring out the worst in the changes puts it at somewhere around 20-25%. Except a desktop user will *never* hit that workload, and sure as heck won't do it in a browser which should see an immeserable change even on your old pre-PCID support hardware.
German has all sorts of weird grammar rules and compound words
The compound words are incredibly simple to learn and understand. It's much better than having a unique word for something, so while the German dictionary is larger than the English one, the number of times you reach for it is actually quite low due to compound words being incredibly descriptive.
As for weird grammar rules they really aren't weird at all. They are just different. In fact if we discuss weirdness as in different from the norm, then in all the North Germanic languages English is the one with the weirdest rules given that grammatically the other North Germanic languages compare far more favourably to each other.
Of course you could just sit on the fence and learn Dutch:)
The Always Connected PC is just another toll of the death knell of ownership.
Over exaggerating much? How is the idea of something being on, available and connected anything to do with ownership? Currently my desktop PC at home is and Always Connected PC. It's always on, and always connected.
Is it such a disaster to get the same level of functionality on my laptop? Does not having to whip out my phone and enable the mobile hotspot suddenly mean that someone else owns my stuff?
Need? Well I'm sure we can hack together all sorts of things when there's a need. But let's look at the wants:
How about a data connection which doesn't annihilate the battery life of my phone? Not carrying around two devices? Leaving it to do something data related while I walk away with my phone in hand?
There's lots of convenience based issues here. Most of us don't "need" most of the things we now take for granted.
And yet far more seniors engage in jaded skepticism. Trust in technology and technological adoption including technologies which take over decision making is far more prevalent among the young than the old.
The research on this has shown the trends not to change over time. It is still consistent with the angst older people had about autopilots in airliners and computers in the 80s and 90s.
You grab the phone? Mine is lying on my desk and wakes when I hit the home button (finger print reader). Not to mention something in a visible location is far easier to use than something out of sight.
"Ok Google, read me my calendar."
"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that." "Dave? Why is your heart rate rising? Dave you may want to remove your finger from the heartrate sensor Dave." "No there Dave, if you leave your finger there you won't be able to take a photo Dave."
No, when an end user can't bring the device back to life without spending money going out and buying a JTAG programmer, THEN it is bricked. If the software problem can't be recovered from the software domain it is bricked. Just because the manufacturer can revive it doesn't make it any less bricked.
In a controlled environment or on a system that you already 0wn that would be a problem. However if I go to a website right now there's no reliable way of accessing a desired chunk of memory from another process without knowing where that memory is in the first place or without dumping absolutely everything and manually looking afterwards.
I.e. Yes javascript can read what it wants due to this bug, but good luck trying to get it to read what *you* want like the running encryption key.
This attack would work well for an NSA attempting to extract encryption keys style attack, but does bugger all for a script kiddie with a bit of javascript.
requesting more power than the degraded batteries could provide
Except for devices that still quick charge in an hour that is a load of crap. We're not running phones on AAs. Old Lithium batteries have no problem providing more than enough power to run a flat out phone (not actually much power at all if you look at it).

No because the estimates are varied but almost universally positive. Google it yourself.

for a problem that doesn't really exist
Before you say it's a problem that doesn't exist you should read some reviews or better still try a device which has a fingerprint reader on the back.
