Not sure what's up with all the FUD about Android security patch irregularity. My Sony Xperia and One Plus phones are 3 years old and they are still receiving the monthly security updates from the manufacturer, so lag time is at most 2 months. It shouldn't be much different for Samsung and the other more popular brands and models.
It's true that updates between the major versions of Android are slow or even non-existent, but security updates are different. You can remain on an older version of Android and still receive security updates.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. CPUs don't allow you to 'walk the cache'. There is no way to 'walk/read the cache directly'. That's not how Meltdown works. The values that Meltdown reads off the (presumed) cached all belong to the process running the Meltdown exploit.
They are liable for this decision. They have to refund the passenger's ticket or put him on the next flight to the destination, and compensate the passenger 2x-4x the value of the ticket up to a maximum of $675-$1350.
First article says: Apple supplier Corning on Thursday introduced its next-generation Gorilla Glass, which it said is two times tougher than any competitive cover glass now in the market.
Second article says: Apple supplier Corning on Thursday introduced next-generation Gorilla Glass, which it said is ten times tougher than any competitive cover glass now in the market.
The insurance companies cannot charge whatever they want. First of all, there is the insurance marketplace where the people can shop around for the best deals. Secondly the Act also requires insurances companies to meet a minimum Medical Loss Ratio of 80% - something which is not possible if they overcharge the people.

I, too, do not see myself using a large phone. However these large phones are hugely popular, as can be seen by their sales figures and several of my colleagues, even small sized females, happily using these phones. I respect their choice and I applaud Android for allowing manufacturers to give customers a choice of picking a phone they like instead of dictating the customer's choice to them and insulting potential customers that choose differently.
-Og Optimize debugging experience. -Og enables optimizations that do not interfere with debugging. It should be the optimization level of choice for the standard edit-compile-debug cycle, offering a reasonable level of optimization while maintaining fast compilation and a good debugging experience.
Missing from the summary, of course, is that the family had a son who has actually clicked on a link to an artlcle on how to make a pressure cooker bomb. "But my son’s reading habits combined with my search for a pressure cooker and my husband’s search for a backpack set off an alarm of sorts at the joint terrorism task force headquarters."
Google may not have been involved at all here. All the investigators needed were the logs for the website hosting the offending article, and a cooperating ISP, to find that family.
I hate DRM like everyone here, but I would rather have the choice to purchase DRMed content than to be completely locked out just because I am not on the 'preferred platform'.
Hopefully DRM will die a natural death from people voting with their wallets when there are alternatives. In that case the act of having HTML5 DRM just gives DRM more rope to hang itself with.

Not unless for some reason Android is decoding PNG files as root... which it doesn't. This bug cannot be used to escalate privileges.
The last piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. We now have the technology against the impending Kaiju attacks.
Wait, how does a nuclear reactor get used as a nuclear bomb again?

I call BS on that "*every*"
The NEON registers are 128-bits wide and there are 32 of them. If you have 32 bit data, you can process 128 chunks at a time!
I don't think you understand how SIMD is used. NEON instructions only apply to 1 register, so it only processes 4x 32 bit at a time.
Actually since 4.8, the correct optimization level to use for debugging is now -Og
