This has got to be part of that "Future Shock" phenomena that Alvin Toffler wrote about in 1970.
We are the proverbial monkeys with a machine gun.
It still amazes me to see the vast proliferation of totally idiotic behavior by my fellow man.
Including the tendency to believe what one wants to believe.
I blame nearly all of it on Corporations and our puppet government.
Think about it. The media, TV shows, commercials (one of the worst!), and a lack of government help in the area of REAL education for the governed people allow for easy repression of the masses via catering to (our) easily manipulated wants.
I am willing to bet everything I have on the fact that a better educated public, as well as enforced truth in media, would go farther to helping us all, including the end our shooter crisis, than anything.
For example, making guns harder to get might help 1 symptom, yet will not end all shootings. Fixing those demented minds is a more practical solution.
We need to treat the societal diseases, not the symptoms. Guns would not be such a tough problem if we ALL knew better the truth and actually regulated the culprits of damage (e.g.corporate control, religious extremism, mind numbing TV (especially commercials), etc...).
WAY too many bullshit incidents happen.
We need a far better way of vetting those officials we allow to hold enforcement offices.
Police need to understand that they are here to SERVE THE PEOPLE, not serve their need to feel superior!
Tell me, how in the world a stolen iPhone would warrant such extreme measures?!
Everyone from the warrant-issuing judge to the hand-job cops needs to be fired, labeled, and sued for this one!
Mass displaces Space. Space (spacetime) curves around that Mass.
That displaced Space creates a vacuum where the Mass actually exists.
That vacuum is Gravity.
There'd be far fewer reasons to invade personal space if there were far fewer reasons to thwart society.
If (we) were all happy with our government and society, we could focus on progress.
My concern is that since AMD CPUs are (nearly completely) immune from these issues, will software patch/band-aids for these issues also affect software on AMD platforms?
What am I going to do with all this home made sperm?!
You know it is better than the fake stuff!
Two scenarios come to mind:
1) The Matrix uses this technology to farm their own "battteries", and;
2) SkyNet uses this technology to make the ultimate Terminator.
It is plainly obvious that the more overwhelmed we become - via corporate brain-damaging things like their ad lies and brain-washing ads -
the easier it is for them to keep us suppressed!
Most folks are happy with the "blue pill"! (Cowards!)
Perhaps I fail to understand the workings and purpose of this Blue Alert thing.
Police already have a thankless job. It is hard enough for them w/o the general public (potentially) rushing to (and interfering with) a scene.
I already get a notice in the local papers when a cop is injured or killed.
I cannot imagine how alerting me real time would actually change that.
Perhaps we are now all to rush to a scene and start video recording on our smart phone?!
Every instance where I have been near the presence of a crime, I was told to move on and don't interfere.
Tell me again how this idiot Ajit Pai came into office? And why he is still there?
Is it possible to have Ajit Pai removed as chairman of the FCC - perhaps by Congress?
There are absolutely no redeeming qualities with him; in his professionalism and job tasks, nor his personality.
He has got to go. He is totally unqualified for any leadership roll at all.
Any person serving in a public office MUST absolutely take the constituent opinion as a heavily weighted driver for what to do.
The more than 83% of the peoples' voice FOR net neutrality should push the chairman that way - in spite of his personal opinion.
STOP THE DICTATORSHIP ACTIONS OF THIS ADMINISTRATION!

Wait a minute - I thought deregulation was Ajit Pai's policy!
Will somebody PLEASE get this idiot out of government?! PLEASE?!
This is a plan by the Chinese to bomb a country!
Why else would they not cooperate w/ the world to determine where it would likely land?!
Nope. They actually mean DST, NOT EST. Read the article.

What is Bernie Sander's take on this?

Openness does not mean free hardware.
It means freedom of access to hardware designs.
Don't forget the ARM CPUs out there!
They are just not allowed to leave the Li batteries connected - to avoid fires.
Mass displaces Space. Space (spacetime) curves around that Mass.
That displaced Space creates a vacuum where the Mass actually exists.

Sort-of...
Why not just fix society's shortcomings?
There'd be far fewer reasons to invade personal space if there were far fewer reasons to thwart society.

Consider that contemporary Capitalists are more corrupt than ever.
This is the beginning of the end of capitalism as we Americans have abused it.
I would if people would stop needing it!
Sure am glad that I wasn't climbing stairs at that same time!
I might also be accused of this murder!
My concern is that since AMD CPUs are (nearly completely) immune from these issues, will software patch/band-aids for these issues also affect software on AMD platforms?
Agreed!
And, these articles are 14+ years old! Not that they may be relevant, yet are ripe for clickbait!
Still, we ought to remain ever-vigilant about climate change.
What am I going to do with all this home made sperm?!
You know it is better than the fake stuff!
Two scenarios come to mind:

2) SkyNet uses this technology to make the ultimate Terminator.
Either way, humans are doomed!
We consumers are just plain fucking brow-beaten!
It is plainly obvious that the more overwhelmed we become - via corporate brain-damaging things like their ad lies and brain-washing ads -

McCarthyism all over again!
Why not employ cell signal killing measures at prisons? Anti-RF cells and common areas? Jammers in the yards?

Q: How many IT guys does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: None, that's a Facilities problem.
I'm afraid of my computer. I know when I turn it off, it's learning new things without me.
