The problem is caused not just because of speculative execution but also because (for performance reason) the OS leaves all process memory mapped into every processes address space and the uses permission to try and make that memory unavailable. The other fix is to find a way to redesign virtual memory so that other processes memory is NOT mapped into each others memory space and is thus truely inaccessible.

It was in the intersection, waiting to turn right. The car had a green light, but there were pedestrians crossing the street (to the right), so the car pulled forward into the intersection, and was waiting for the pedestrians to clear out.
Clinton (Bill) used to do it. When he talked to old people he dyed his hair gray. Young folks got a brown dye. And his southern drawl pretty much vanished when he wasn't on the campaign in the South.
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology climate scientist Reto Knutti [responded], “What's the chance of something fundamentally being wrong in our models?” he asks. “Is that really less than 1 percent? I would argue there's more than a one in a hundred chance that something has been forgotten in all of the models, just because our understanding is incomplete.”
Of course, he's Swiss, so he's biased.....the weather's so cold up there he wants global warming!
That page is great, but there are no error bars on that page, either.
Another thing to note: scientists won't tell you what percentage of the warming is caused from AGW, and what percentage is from natural cycles (and if they do, it'll be a vague unsupported number, like "most:" again, presented without error bars).
Doing statistics without error bars is a sign of poorly done statistics.
The answer is mainly because they've never looked at a graph or chart showing where our spending goes. (Incidentally Ross Perot tried to use charts in his presidential campaign and got mocked for it).
We're also targeting highly skilled and educated jobs.
I don't know where you've been for the last 50 years, but this has been going on for a while. Do you know that there used to be a job called a "computer?" There were whole rooms of these people working out complicated calculus by hand, sometimes in assembly-line fashion. Can you guess what replaced them?
1) They're planning on using the blockchain to help with money transfers between banks. No so much a crypto-currency but a way to track existing currency.
This is a solved problem and Bitcoin doesn't help with it at all.
Is that God, or is it just a declaration that we can't really understand the processes that govern us? More to the point, is there an afterlife in your view?
"No true investment....." If you know how to do it, then it's a way to make money. Blackjack and poker can make plenty of money in a casino. Not my idea of fun, but if you were willing to put in the effort. There are people who know how to make money from bitcoin now in its current state, I am not one of those people.
Mining bitcoin in the early days would have been wise. Not only might it have had potential, it also would have been fun, which would have been payment enough by itself.
Here's the thing though: The naysayers were right.
No they were definitely not right. At minimum, by listening to them, I missed out on some fun.
In any situation there will be nay-sayers.If you always listen to them, you will never make any money. Likewise, in any situation, there will be 'yay' sayers. Again, if you always listen to them, you will never make any money. In both situations your money will eventually be worthless, either through inflation or multiple bad trades.
If you want to make money, it is incumbent upon you to figure out what is a good investment and what is not, ignoring sayers.
I agree with your analysis. I used to blame either Republicans or Democrats (variously at various times) but now I just see them as a reflection of the electorate. If we want better politicians, we need a more informed electorate.
(vaguely on topic: another one that bothers me is people who oppose or favor something based on "We need more regulation" or "We need less regulation!" That's a real false dilemma)
Bitcoin will never get there: the transaction volume will never be high enough. It will only be used as a transaction method for people who are willing to pay a high enough fee.
The Wall Street Journal pointed out that people in underdeveloped countries are now using it as a store of value since their own countries' currencies are so unstable.
Don't know about that, but I sure wish I had ignored the nay-sayers on Slashdot a few years back when you could still mine bitcoin on the CPU. It would have been easy, it would have been fun, but I listened to too many negative people and lost out. Oh well.
Americans are actually united in a way that Democrats and Republicans are not: The majority of us favor both tax cuts and increases in benefits. They both sound good to me, too.

Isn't that what the hardware TLB is made for?

donut scene ..
Seriously? What good donuts are there in SF?
Guess my IQ is not 160.
It probably is....it's so high you've transcended math and the rest of us aren't able to follow it.

Nice observation.
Those are indeed error bars, but on a different question.

Other good thing: On Android, Firefox has ad-block.

A good investment is just an investment you know how to make money off.
You're an idiot, and there are strategies to deal with this problem. If you think about it for a while, you'll come up with some.
That's good advice: focus your efforts on finding future good investments than on lamenting past missed opportunities.

But if you were sane, you'd have cashed out by now. Or if it took nothing to get, you'd ride it until after it crashes.
More likely cashed out part of it. You don't need to cash out all of it. That's a normal strategy for handling these risky trades.
A broken clock, that always naysays, is useless.
