But films in particular seem to find it using "classified" instead of the actual classification level much cooler. And now people use it for real.
As an adjective applied specifically to information "classified" has a dual meaning of being both categorised AND restricted. This is consistent through all dictionaries.
Even from your own link the only unrestricted classification is called "unclassified" which is specifically called out as "technically not a classification level". Films, media, and the general public are correct in using the term classified the way they do when talking about information.
Coincidence always does. Given the general suicide rate combined with stress levels in certain white collar fields it would be more suspicious if he didn't.
If you're trying to keep light out then the goal is to reflect it away. The problem with black is it absorbs and thus makes a really horrible insulator.
Ever notice the inside of your beer cooler is not black?
The Lord of the Rings movies cost my neighbours and I $50 million for instance.
And combined with a pittance of advertising from the tourism office the increase in tourism has injected several times that back into the New Zealand economy. But sure, focus only on the "cost" to the taxpayer without looking at what investment you bought.
Sure not everything works out as well as LOTR did for NZ but using that as an example of something bad is incredibly daft.
Indeed it usually does. By the way what do you mean by glass? We have glass that you can drive over. We have glass that you can't sledge hammer through. We have glass that you can't shoot through with a gun. We have glass that is flexible that won't shatter when damaged.
Glass is incredibly strong when surface tension is high, and even stronger when applied against stiff substrate. We use glass surfaces for very rough manufacturing and for protection against things much sharper and more dangerous than a bit of falling ice.
Funny story: My house is a bit taller than the neighbour's house. During the epic hail storm in Brisbane in 2013 (cricketball sized hail with very sharp and irregular shapes) I decided to grab some popcorn and watch the neighbour's solar panels get damaged. While doing so their solar panels happily deflected a few hail stones and shattered my office window in the process. 2 days later I had a contractor replacing the window, and both of us had a roofing contractors fixing broken roof tiles. Everything was broken expect their smug glass solar panels.
It depends on what you compare them to. That garbage asphalt shingles that some Americans use, yeah heavier and more expensive. But the vast majority of the western world doesn't put such garbage over their heads, and the Tesla solar roofs are far lighter than many other roofing methods (e.g. terracotta tiles)
No it doesn't. Sit down restaurants make sense to replace with home cooked meals as there's no difference in time. Fastfood serves a very different purpose than a home cooked meal.
Yeah but low-wage workers don't just disappear. They go into social aid programs
Except that stores which have automated such have shown that the robots don't display workers but rather simply increase throughput causing the staff to simply move from facing the customer to working the kitchen.
You should really be asking why the rest of the press isn't covering the story.
No I really shouldn't. The answer is simple: If only Express, Daily Fail and Breitbart are running it then the smart money is that the story is false sensationalistic bullshit devoid of reality.
It seems like MS could have some sort of lab with various configurations of relatively recent hardware where they can test updates they deem ready for production.
They did. Today. Their beta testers found a bug and the rollout stopped. Just because their lab is the size of a planet doesn't change the fact that they are testing their high quality software releases.
Windows Update Service being disabled is not an ignorable setting. It is something that would generate a system error if another service or task attempts to start it.
No the FDIV bug had no workaround, hence the recall. One could argue that you software workaround would be to not use floating point operations, but that would be quite silly.
Security is a process if you don't already have layered mitigation against Spectre/Meltdown bug then you don't care enough about your security to be concerned about this bug. Spectre/Meltdown is a bug that is present in every machine, but as a security issue will affect very few people.
If you think my assertion is incorrect then you don't understand one or both of the issues.
I suspect most people come to populated areas for career reasons, not necessarily because they prefer crowds and density.
Not necessarily. Crowds can often be a positive from a lifestyle point of view. Density definitely is. Density provides access, entertainment, lifestyle, basically every extrovert's dream.
In my field it isn't always easy to find a city centre and commute out of the city limits for work (who likes chemical plants in the middle of populated areas). That said I happily took a pay cut to move to a bigger city with a longer commute precisely because country life was draining my soul. When I ask around I get all the same answers as to why my colleagues put up with a the lower wages where we are: "Because otherwise we'd need to move out of the city".
WD is everything they always were. Their software was always crappy, especially their drive tools. It stands to reason that more complex software remains equally crappy. Their drives however still are at the top of my buying list.
As for HGST being a different group, culture is inherited from the top. Don't bet the farm on them being safe from software quality issues because "different group".
No, the example code only affected Intel. The underlying exploit exist in AMD and ARM64 as well.
The original paper postulated as to why their code wouldn't run on AMD and even went so far as stating it may work on AMD with some optimization or on chips with different execution pipeline sizes. https://meltdownattack.com/mel...
Except it didn't. All benchmarks point to a 5-10% worst case hit, and an unmeasurable hit in pretty much all desktop / user facing workloads. Despite all the initial reports I've yet to see any benchmark, Windows, Linux, server loads, office applications, gaming, databases, or whatever get into the double digits.

No one cares how fast it is until it's not as fast as expected and seemingly laggy.

What's a GHz? Is that some irrelevant performance metric from the 90s?
In other news The Pentium 4 had more GHz than the competition. Ever wondered why it was laughed at?

then those who voted against it will have declared themselves on the issue.
You say this in bold as if this makes any difference what so ever.

No my argument is they fucked up the design from the onset and that CPUs in milspec equipment don't run slow because of the reasons you think.
They didn't forget about anything. You are just picking single points instead of drawing trendlines.
I suspect most people come to populated areas for career reasons, not necessarily because they prefer crowds and density.

Why not throw a RISC processor in to be sure.
They did that when they introduced the Pentium Pro.
This comes with a 20-30% tax for many workloads.
Except it didn't. All benchmarks point to a 5-10% worst case hit, and an unmeasurable hit in pretty much all desktop / user facing workloads. Despite all the initial reports I've yet to see any benchmark, Windows, Linux, server loads, office applications, gaming, databases, or whatever get into the double digits.

It's quite telling that the only three "news" companies running the story are Express, Daily Mail, and Breitbart.
Just based on the sources alone there's far more to the story than there seems.
See? Apple delivered the update without bricking* any AMD CPUs! That's how you do it!
Have you tested it on any AMD CPUs?
