While I'm certain this will not go uncontested, I hope more cities follow their example so that corporate puppets do not attempt to prohibit municipal ISPs.
What we're seeing is the result of capitalism's reach getting to scientists. The focus of institutions has moved from discoveries of research to the monetary benefits of research. The reason for this is plain as day, a lack of funds. The question is, who is restricting funds and what is their motive. If you find this, you'll discover the problem.
Capitalism has it's place but using it everywhere will lead to disaster.
Considering how many lives he's indirectly taken by his bigoted actions and inactions, his life being spared to be a national tragedy. Even if everyone on board had died with him, it still would have been a lesser evil than his continued existence. Pence is the kind of monster that makes humanity look unworthy of life. Trump is the kind of fool that makes humanity look like a bunch of idiots who are scared of their reflection in the water.
I'm glad Microsoft finally put someone in charge that knows what people really want. Do people want proper patch testing, privacy or improved security? NO! People want a better version of MSPaint! Let's hear it for Nadella!;)
Intel doesn't understand what businesses want: inexpensive parts. Intel doesn't understand what hobbyists want: inexpensive parts that don't need NDAs. Intel doesn't understand what the world doesn't need: more power hungry x86 platforms. Intel doesn't understand that we don't need them.
because they actually just sent the truck on a local beer run down the street. This is what happens when you hire the lead engineer behind Apple Maps to design the navigation system.;)
That was somewhat uncharitable of you. BlueCoder, the GP, is openly talking about his/her difficulty in telling people things, and you basically say "or maybe you're just boring"
A) Reality doesn't care about any person's feelings. B) I would think it would be more cruel to let someone go on thinking they are doing something wrong than let them know that people simply aren't interested in the subject matter.
I am being inundated with all sorts of pro-Trump posts by one of my friends. All the anti-Clinton conspiracy posts. Every damn one of them. Including one that was so bad that even Fox News published a retraction.
You could just unfriend this person, even if it's just a temporary measure.
Rowhammer has been usable from JavaScript for ages. [...] I don't know why this attack wouldn't work on mobile devices
Your javascript attack works on x86 systems but not on ARM systems because of how and how fast the memory is accessed. ARM memory controllers just aren't fast enough to trigger the DRAM bug.
I don't really see what's new here.
you should consider reading the research paper before spouting ignorant and misleading comments.:)
Can we stop calling these fucktards researchers already? They are crackers not researchers damn!
Yeah, I mean, researchers explain their methodology and publish papers about it! These are just the dumbest criminal hackers that put their names on some paper they published! Can't wait until they go to jail for their criminal deeds which they are obviously waiting do in the future! -_-
Microsoft didn't "[miss] the mobile phone," they shit on the mobile phone market with their usual bullshit. Turns out that when the quality of your product matters, you need to put out a high quality software platform that offers more than concessions for users and developers.
One of the simplest existing known attacks involves [...]. What made this attack now work on mobile devices?
Surprise, they didn't do it that way!
It was previously "speculated that Rowhammer on ARM could be impossible, one of the main reasons being that the ARM memory controller might be too slow to trigger the Rowhammer bug" which is true in most cases like the one you listed. However, one thing they figured out is that they could use "DMA buffers bypass the CPU and its caches" using Android's DMA Buffer Management API.
They did several other things like figure out how to determine the size of the DRAM rows (not uniform on ARM) and create a deterministic way force security-sensitive data int vulnerable rows in a deterministic fashion.
TL;DR: They are smart and if your Android phone isn't getting the latest patches then you are vulnerable to total pwn4g3 from anything in the Google Play Store until Google figures out how to scan for apps that will perform this attack.
The inability to distinguish an X from a model X seems to be a common trait among hiplennials.
It's sensationalist journalism is the cause of your frustration, so why disparage an entire generation of people who aren't even the ones charge of what's being published?
In the case of recalled stories, it's adding or withholding information in a way that will mislead the other party into believing something that is not representative of your perception of the situation.
Summaries so short that I more or less have to reinvent the scenario in order to get my point or question out and paid attention to. ... Lying isn't black and white. You have to interpret how much and what information a person is looking for.
It seems like you are incapable of discerning what information is truly relevant to a story because I have never had to "reinvent the scenario" regardless of the story. Alternatively, it's entirely possible your stories are simply not of interest to others.
I do wonder if the people being let go are going to all be "non-diversity" individuals, meaning all white guys. If not at the time of hiring, they certainly have a case for discrimination when being fired.
... and if he knew anything about the hardware he would also know it gets just us subtle, and in fact a lot of hardware has microcode, which is of course software, but encapsulated in a hardware interface.
I think you mean firmware. microcode is different because it actually changes the behavior of the IC in a similar fashion to an FPGA. microcode is used by very few ICs.

They called it Linux instead of GNU/Linux! Stallman's gonna lose his shit again.

The problem with the NHTSA... Is that they both write and enforce the laws.
Congratulations on failing to grok our legislative and regulatory system! Well done, AC! ;)
If a business needs to be active 24/7 then they should be paying to make that happen. Employees aren't the property of corporations.
FAA regulations alone is enough to ensure this won't happen.
they eat a lot more power than comparable ARM chips, so since always.

Ah, so you know the poster in question in person and are aware that he/she's boring...?
I have no idea what they are like, I simply listed it as a possibility.
No? Then you're just being a twat, because you have no idea what BlueCoder is like in conversation.
Why are you taking this personally?
There is no need to rekindle the Galaxy Note brand, it's already on fire! ;)
