    This is how the OS update works. How come intel are saying this is their update?

  2. If you know the internals of the browser you are running in, you can try to fetch addresses from fields. Think about it, javascript does pass references around. If you know enough to know where a variable holding an address is stored in comparison to some array that is embedded before it, you can try and go out of that array. Is it possible? I dont know, but are you sure it is not?

    From what I understand, OSes can update themselves to protect from this bug, and it is also a very low level bug that cannot be fixed easily. How is this possible?

    Also, if intel can update processor firmware that easily, what prevents malware from doing the same?

  4. Won't there be people who decide that fixing this is not worth the slowdown? After all, if it is ran on an internal machine where users can't cause a buffer overflow or provide code, why should there be a risk?

    A corporation can have their life, liberty, and property taken away through due process just like an individual

    A dying human can't just resurrect under another name, a corp can.

    Which also allows you to sue those corporations.

    Our current legal system gives an advantage to those with more money.

    take your property unjustly

    Sorry, suing someone for millions for sharing a song is unjust. I agree it is legal, it just means that the law, due to currption, is straying away from justice.

    I would expect my government to protect my rights and ensure that any retaliation was just and lawfu

    So on one hand, libertarians don't trust government. On the other hand, they expect their government to protect one's rights?

    Some of the left (who used to be called Liberal) in my country (Israel) is now working with religious groups to increase gender segregation, supposedly in order to fight against sexual harassment. In the past, leftist/queer parties used to be place where there was lots of sexual freedom. Here in Israel, right now, right wingers are somehow more sexually liberal than leftists.

    I got the impression that something similar is happening in the US too.

    How come a corporation can be considered a group of individuals that shares a common goal and a country can't? Also, current law allows corporations to sue you bankrupt, which will lead to violence being used to take your property away from you.

    Idk, maybe I'm saying it because I am coming from a small country, but I would rather get in trouble with my country (Israel) than with a global company that is trying to bankrupt me all over the world. Israeli mossad assasins still have a lower success probability than international law.

    Define antisemitism. I don't think that people should be prosecuted because of whatever is in their bloodstream, including jewish descent. However, I do think it is OK to judge people by their choices. For example, if someone chooses to take his baby to a religious cleric without any medical training who will cut his penis and then suck in the wound, then yes, I think it is ok to criticize him, and maybe even to abolish the practice since it is child abuse.

    If that's antisemitism in some PC land, then so be it. In the past the word antisemitism used to refer to people who wanted to abuse and brutalize anyone who is of Jewish descent, not to people who have legitimate criticism against Jewish religion.

    Note: most of my criticism here against Jewish religion can likely be said for Islam too, in fact, the reason that I dislike Jewish religion is because I find it very similar to Islam. The main difference between them is that Islam missionary while Jewish religion settles for abusing only its own people.

    And now you are talking religion, you designate some group as evil "government" while allowing other groups to behave exactly the same. Sorry, in my eyes, a corporate dictator or a mob dictator is just the same as a government dictator. Hell, I suspect that in the future government dictators may actually be easier to replace than the corporate ones.

    According to your logic:
    - When corporations regulate social media, it becomes a branch of the corporation.
    - When nobody regulates social media, it becomes a branch of bots and spammers.
