The SJW stuff comes from morons that think cute and cuddly words are enough to put a lustre on atrocious actions. You know, like Soviet.
Here's a guide to help you. If you think there's a difference between an asshole and a rectal exit then congratulations, you are dumb enough to qualify for the chuch of social justice. If you think discrimination is acceptable based on the skin color of the victim, then you will fit right in. If you think everyone is equal but some are more equal then others... And of course, if you think differences between the sexes are all cultural and we are all the same but men are biologically determined to be rapists, you just might win a SocJus award.
That's probably why he was talking about Tanya Lattner, who has not contributed 5x as much. You know, the one who actually suggested the Outreach program...
This was nothing more than a poorly sourced hitpiece.
The list of vulnerabilities require administrator access. I doubt real security researchers would even consider that a vulnerability. There was nothing "disastrous" to report, and the claim by CTS Labs that it would "take 2 years to fix" the reported flaws was nothing short of outright lying. I wouldn't be surprised if Intel recently funded independent Israeli security researchers for goodwill.
Hey guys, I'm one of you, a neutral third party financially uninvolved in any of this. Let's all go and buy Intel processors because they don't have any of these critical security flaws that are just so much more noteworthy than boring and harmless Spectre and Meltdown. And who even remembers those? They are so 2017, am I right?
Also did you know that when you support Intel you support small independent security researchers of the highest ethical and moral standards? Wow, if that isn't standing up for the little guy (just like you and me!) I don't know what is.
Grade A AC post. You start with a baffling lack of understanding for how "biological change" works, and then go on to completely miss the point of strength and dexterity in your hands.
We may not be using pens or pencils to any large extent today, but perhaps we still play sports? Anything where hands and a ball are both used greatly benefits from strength and dexterity in the fingers. What about music? I reckon both pianos and guitars are easier to play if you have dexterous hands. How about typing, cooking, sewing, massaging, carpentry, painting, sex, engineering of several kinds, playing games on a console, or even just fidgeting when you're bored?
Building strong and flexible hands opens up a plethora of doors for us, both in the personal and professional spheres. If we lose that, society will be poorer for it. And if you want to develop your hands, the best time to do it is in the early years when your brain is still malleable.
AdNauseam which tells the Ad Maker this ad worked. So lets do more of it.
This will only hold until the statistics between ad clicks and sales diverge from the current probabilities. And if everyone were to install AdNauseam, that would happen rather quickly.
At that point, we would expect to see A) new approaches entirely for ads and B) engineering solutions from both sides to resolve/exacerbate the problem.
A great way to confound these trackers everywhere is to use an addon like AdNauseam. It will click on everything for you, generating a massive, and false, report regarding your activities.
The only way to make a difference is to hit these giants in the wallet, and once the companies paying for these these personal profiles conclude that they aren't helping their bottom line, the market will have to change in response or lose a lot of potential income.
You assume that both GPs have never heard of global warming prior to this exchange? They have their facts, as all of us here have, they just aren't using them right now. And frankly, why bother? The first GP is a paid shill or flamebait, and no amount of facts or studies will change that.
Have you noticed how your mom, sister, aunt, girlfriend, wife, daughter, and female friends haven't died from cervical cancer? You can thank public science (and NIH/NCI) for that.
Have you noticed how you haven't died from lung cancer yet? You can thank public science for that.
Have you noticed that things around you are made from plastic? Have you noticed that 'medicine' now involves surgeries and anti-bacterial treatments rather than voodoo and shrunk heads? Have you noticed how we can build rockets that take us into space, predict likelihood of certain diseases by reading an individual beings genome, troll unfortunates on the internet, scan individuals for relatedness, fly with the birds? Yes, publicly funded research has led to a vast improvement for our civilization.
I get the feeling your argument is more on the emotional axis than the logical one.
In a statement this morning, GDC said its awards committee "made the decision not to give out a Pioneer Award for this year's event, following additional feedback from the community. They believe their picks should reflect the values of today's game industry and will dedicate this year's award to honor the pioneering and unheard voices of the past.
Today's values include conviction without evidence and honoring those who did not accomplish anything?
It's depressing that this is acceptable boilerplate today when it would have been considered incoherent rambling in a more intellectually honest age.
Intel is literally over 10X the size of AMD by revenue
No, you dongleberry, that is not how we use English.
10 is a number, it does not need a 'literal' qualifier, ever. Do you frequently take 10 to mean a number other than 10? Next up, the 'literal' meaning of 'X' is X. Using X to signifiy "times" is a figurative interpretation, the opposite of what you specifically stated. Finally, and this is the best part, there is no literal comparison of size by revenue, because revenue is an abstract concept and has no physical attributes.
There's no immediate evidence to suggest that China has taken advantage of the flaws, but that's not the point -- it's that the U.S. government could have helped coordinate disclosures to ensure that enough companies had fixes in place.
Not to mention it would have been really handy for NSA to take advantage of the flaws for a while to spy on the Chinese government.
Hopefully these silicon level fixes are *ACTUAL* fixes to the methodology used by the speculative execution implementation of the chip, so that speculative execution still is active, but the chip no longer leaves bits and pieces in the processor cache that can be exploited, and that it does this by default.
Hopefully.
I can only assume that you are on copious amounts of drugs.
Intel hasn't gotten where they are by doing what's best for the consumer. In fact, at every given opportunity, they have taken the distinctly customer-butt-violating path instead.

Well said, Ivan. You have earned your vodka today.
You don't need to be passive-aggressive on /., you can behave like a man if you want.
Easy.
I would just ask "Was he a white male"?

I've never gone more than three sentences without referencing someone's tiddies. Sometimes I use it as a greeting.

Or, and hear me out here, could it be that you tend to agree with the groupthink over at ARS?
At the very least, they should be forced to relinquish the 'intelligence' part of the committee until the Republicans leave.

Only literally Hitler would ever text a *hug* without first getting written permission to do so.

Isn't the Illumina problem fixed by paired end reads on the rather short fragments?
By delinquent grammar? No.
I am far more troubled by your inability to separate that which you can understand from that which is correct.

Isn't that why we sent the Australians over there in the first place?
You know, it's pretty sad that as a race, we decide to abort our mistakes.
Speak for yourself; I always go with Retry a few times and then Fail before the Abort.
I guess the booty at Microsoft these days.
