  1. Re:Why does anyone do anything in California? on Elon Musk's Boring Company Cancels Los Angeles Tunnel Following Lawsuit (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    Because the only other option is probably New York City, which is already full of tunnels.
    Creating an underground public transport system is not financially viable when there is ample room above ground.

  2. Re:Environmental impact of a tunnel? WTF? on Elon Musk's Boring Company Cancels Los Angeles Tunnel Following Lawsuit (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    No one said the individual parts have no environmental impact. They said "no significant environment impact".

    If the bar for "significant" is "10" and your project is deemed to be "20", you're not allowed to complete it in 4 parts, each with "5", to avoid mitigation of the impact.

    "live chat" has caught up to ICQ in the 90's.

  10. Where's the list of clients who asked for sexual favours?

  11. So you don't understand that coming out of a sleep state and not having any data in the cache at all results in more stalls and main memory access and how that translates to a performance hit and more power consumption?

  12. That's over a trillion more than the total retail sales in USA. Not the biggest economy anymore.
    That's just mobile spending, not cash, debit, or credit cards

  14. There's a performance and power consumption impact. Otherwise they wouldn't have any cache at all.

    I'd call a worm on Mars a marsworm, it if was a worm native to Mars.

    If it was an earthworm that someone sent to Mars though, it would still be an earthworm. Probably a dead one.

    The UK didn't break any UK laws.

  18. I'm saying the risk of cache corruption from gamma rays should be no different between S0 and S1.

  19. S1 i supposed to keep the cache fully powered up. How's it going to make any difference if an alpha particle hits the cache memory cells while the core clock has stopped?

    Did the plaintiff exercise a reasonable duty of care in protecting their own data?
    You can't be reckless with your own responsibilities and then sue anyone who may have a connection to something that goes wrong.
    Storing a single copy of "$250,000" of video footage on a single external drive is reckless. Any number of issues can happen that will result in the loss of data.

  25. Re:Problem non existant in NZ on US Chip Cards Are Being Compromised In the Millions (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    NZ is probably a bit unique.
    We have a debit card network (I think it's still called EFTPOS) which means transactions for debit cards don't go through Visa/Mastercard/etc. It's a pretty much zero fee network.
    The reason small shops here hate you paying by credit card or NFC is the fees. Those all go through the credit card networks and they've just gone from free transactions for debit cards to 2.5% fees for credit cards. Sometimes even larger for small transactions.

    Here's an agreement for merchant credit card services: https://www.westpac.co.nz/asse...
    As long as the customer enters a PIN or the signature matches and the terminals says "ACCEPTED", the transaction will be paid. The only way the merchant will not get paid is if the card holder is successful in a charge back.
