I thought the scary thing was a populace so incredibly stupid that it wants a government to use a very unreliable and insecure system of social media for official announcements
but no pressure wave or deluge to speak of when in something as shallow as a typical harbor, the water depth is negligible when used with a bomb that large.
more accurate to say, if done right it makes things better.
more bits also makes things better, quad precision floats are supported either in software (e.g. Fortran 2008 including gnu Fortran, Boost libraries) or hardware such as Power9 or Z series mainframes. Sparc V8 and up defines hardware but no one has implemented it yet.
sure there are cities with fantastic police forces....but there are more than "once incident of excessive force" in many cities, like in the big city next to me. Cops grabbing women pretending they are investigating prostitution then raping them, beating up people in bars after hours for jollies, members of criminal gangs, gunning down unarmed blacks who are fleeing for their lives....
many militarized city police forces in the USA are now purposely using excessive force to instill a compliance mindset through fear. Sometimes the younger officers get a little too hyped up and gun down innocents. they are disciplined but the order cops still get the benefit of obedience of the terrified masses
Summary: even with twice Tsar-bomb level yields, trying to create a wave dangerous to cities is a waste of a good nuke. Instead just nuke a city with ordinary sized nukes, it'll ruin inhabitant's day in a much worse manner
Except the actual fixes prevent booting many machines, so patches are being reverted and only partial fixes are available in Intel/AMD land.
Actually, it was realized in the mid 1990s intel's optimization had the security holes we are now calling MELTDOWN and SPECTRE, The NSA sponsored paper is "The Intel 80x86 Processor Architecture: Pitfalls for Secure Systems". No one took it seriously, is all.
that's silly, merely moving such an asteroid would provoke retaliation. it's a "weapon" that takes months to stage for which immediate first-strike nuclear warfare is justified as response
Meanwhile, your checks, credit card transactions, banking accounts, insurance, merchant payments pass through virtualized systems. Everyone here depends on virtualized systems. 100% of the people here depend on virtualized systems, and it isn't just Intel and AMD that have speculative execution bugs, the POWER chips in IBM Z Mainframes and AIX boxes do too...
False, you are the ignorant one fearing bad press for vmware, maybe your stock will take a hit? The truth is VMware has reverted several SPECTRE and MELTDOWON patches for causing instability. All intel and AMD issues are NOT currently patched.
pffft, no one wants food containers that are useless for storage.
copper in wires can be recycled, the insulation is waste and there is no viable substitute, maybe as well burn it and plastic as fuel as it won't really make much difference to carbon load on atmosphere compared to fossil fuel use.
Anyway, SE asian countries like Cambodia have unions and minimum wage for the textile workers. $150 a month pays the food bill for a family, and two people in the family will be working.
Force them to pay more and they'll get robots to do it.

hahaha, and VMWare has now reverted ALL the SPECTRE patches
https://kb.vmware.com/s/articl...
"ESXi was already patched last fall"....BWAHAHAHA you are really a naive shill aren't you?
Your definition of "ideal" is rejected.
Plenty of other CPU architectures have similar SPECTRE flaws including POWER and latest ARM
Microkernels have security and stabliity problems too, get your head out of the ivory tower books and go read the patches for them sometime.
you could do that from air with conventional nukes of small yield as cruise missles; a torpedo with an absurdly huge nuke is silly

the "bounds" also have the same issue, it's making the problem smaller but not eliminating it

That machine is plenty beefy enough to run any full-monty linux with heavy desktop.
Example of old would be my Thinkpad T-41 running Debian with xfce,

The R10000, 12 and 14K had speculative execution, you may be vulnerable to spectre-like attacks
Anyone who gets their news or political views from social media sites deserves very bad things in life.
and runway number changes are done every 5 years, because that's when FAA uses NOAA and Geographic Survey results.
For runway numbers, having a year old chart might be an issue, every half decade....
hahaha
a pilot would know runways are updated every 5 years, because that's when the NOAA and NGS update it

Your lazy and careless attitude is typical of a PC owner who thinks what is true for his little home devices are true for virtualized systems
Wrong, patches only released January 9 for meltdown and spectre, and it remains to be seen if all possibilities of spectre attack are even addressed

google could actually meld the app AP for android and its new OS so apps could run on either
Why? the labor isn't worth that much.
