Back in 1970s, in deep rural South India we did our science experiments. Filled a bottle half way with lime (not the fruit, calcium carbonate used for whitewash) add added tinfoil from cigarette packs cut into thin strips. Slip a balloon over the neck. Leave it in the Sun. After about six hours we have a hydrogen filled balloon. We used to attach messages to to it and let it fly. (Time to acknowledge my science master, Isaac Edward Sukumar. BSc, BEd. Greatest. Teacher. Ever. )
No one ever found and mailed these messages back. Not surprising, since most messages called into question the validity of the marriage of the parents of anyone finding the message.
Although this vulnerability has a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Base score of 5.9, which is normally assigned a Security Impact Rating (SIR) of Medium, there are extenuating circumstances that allow an attacker to elevate privileges to root. For these reasons, the SIR has been set to Critical.
Emphasis mine.
Extenuating circumstances will reduce the amount of guilt. Here escalating local user privileges to root is not extenuating circumstances. Perhaps aggravating circumstances would fit this sentence better.
I find it so cumbesome to fish out my phone to read texts, especially at highway speeds. It would be great if this feature will project incoming text messages. Also can it stream Netflix. I have seen the road many times, and there is no plot interest in the road or scenery. Would be great to have something interesting to watch other the road when I am driving.

Musk will take it as an affront and a personal challenge. He will raise tons of money, do incredible things, lot of more superfantastic than a taxi company that is not a taxi company, things that wow people with tremendous achievements. Only thing he wont do is to make a profit for his investors, otherwise...
I was wondering why Microsoft would help Google help with PDB formats and explain the internals to make it inter operate with Clang. MS does not like other tools to interoperate with MS. It is always one way street,
Now the strategy is clearer. It is an attempt to dislodge gcc from its perch in the Linux world. One of the very few standard things in Linux is the gcc. Fragment it, tout, one source both linux and windows as target binaries as benefit to woo people away from gcc. They think they MsDev is so good it can take Clang.
So all one has to do is to watch Jeopardy and frame solicitation for murder as a question. " Would you kill my wife for 1 million dollars? ". Then the perp is just exercising his first amendment rights. Right?
I don't think it's useful if a black-skinned Dravidian man from Chennai is considered to be of the same race as a Swedish man.
You dont care. But in the Chennai politics the high caste Dravidian man is denounced as an Aryan white supremacist johnny-come-lately. Not just you, no one can tell the high and low caste people apart, but with clues like names, religious markings, the sacred thread, they can tell who is Aryan and who is not.
Cant you take two seconds to copy and paste the name and look it up in wiki, before calling people names? Well, it is pr for the course in/. so why complain?
Communist! Processed food industry employs many thousands of people and produces many billion dollars of profit for my portfolio. You want to destroy it all? Conditions that require life long treatment of costly medicines are the cornerstone of our pharma industry. Dont kill the golden goose man!
Minorities, Behold! This is what success looks like
Asians were not allowed to become citizens till recently, 1960s. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese who came to California during the gold rush were harassed, and their better claims were usurped, they were relegated to working on less productive claims, they were paid less for their gold, and when the gold rush ended they were mostly chased out of the country.
In 1906 an Indian man named Bhagat Singh Thinde made the crazy argument that he was White, (He argued he was from a high caste, despised low caste people, had enough prejudice in him to qualify as White. No one was offended by that argument, but Judge Sutherland, SCOTUS, ruled that he was Caucasian but not white;-)).
They worked steadily, played by the rules of the game, concentrated on getting ahead personally. No long marches demanding equality, no serious law suits alleging discrimination,... Over the years they are punching 10 times their weight. 2% of the general population, 20% of top STEM grads, 20% of Intel scholarships and 99% of top spelling bee and 85% of top geography bee...
Yes, they had to much better than general population to get there. Asian kids need to score 150 points more than the White kids in SAT to get into the top colleges. Yes, the average Asian kid is suffering and is in stress because the expectation is set so high by the other Asian kids. But these are the problems of success,....
I do hear complaints of discrimination among my friends, but it is more like to be something like, "I am the senior most nephrologist with much better publication record and I should have been named the head, but they gave the post to some White Guy. Anyway chairmanship involves mostly talking to the donors and getting projects from the pharma companies, so I don't care"... sour grape syndrome?
The accusation is, the general American population is 78% white, 12% black, 10% Hispanic, 2% Asian, 2% Arab, x% Jewish, 51% female. If your work force does not have the same percentages you are discriminating.
Instead of general population as the criterion, if you use STEM graduates of the top 100 or 200 US colleges, the percentages might not look so terrible for Google. If Google could say, "our workforce reflects the talent pool we recruit from" and that argument is accepted it would be good.
Google is not making that argument, "the population of top grads from top schools differs significantly from the general population. What can we do?".
The reason is, this argument has been used in the past to actively discriminate against the minorities. So it does not carry much weight among the general public. So Google is in this no-win situation.
There are companies that set up a storefront, collect orders and forward the order to another company, pure arbitrage play. The seller is busy making and selling product. This arbitrage guy comes in lists the same product at multiple price points and advertisement and marketing scenarios.
Chinese counterfeit products are known all over the world and people are wary of them. America is so insulated and well protected in the past by good law enforcement from fake products and infringements. So in some sense most American consumers are naive, unfamiliar to such scammers. Amazon is the big enabler and the race to the bottom will be very fast. Soon most Americans will learn not to be so trustful of the vendors.
But, how much is a 15 amp breaker? How long would that last drawing 1 amp? It is more convenient to have multiple breakers for different zones of lighting. It is always a good idea to have outlets in one breaker and the lights in another. Code or no code.
People don't just store data in the cloud. They process them there. The process has unencrypted plain data in memory.
For example Diebold runs a full supply chain inventory managemen forecast run every night. Based on orders of various models with various options in hand, promised delivery schedules, expected upgrades etc etc. When it was running it in house, using Baan, using test data it took 3 hours. When they rolled it into production, using actual data, it did not scale linearly, to 12 hours predicted run time. It went way over 48 hours, O(N^2) not O(N).
I think they eventually retired Baan, almost everyone did, Boeing was the last hold out I think, and moved to SAP. If they move to cloud, the data in the disk might be encrypted, the communications might be encrypted, but the process running has the entire order book in plain text in memory.
At its core SPECTRE flaw allows any process in a machine to access and read memory of any other process. Technically two processes served by the same physical server in the cloud can read each other's memory. Users will find it very difficult to control the server they will be hosted in, they may not be able to target any particular "enemy".
But, Cloud server has total control over ALL the processes. Amazon, Azure and Google would be able to read the memory of ALL the processes they host. Usually there is no adversarial relationship between Google, Apple and the proverbial tool and die manufacturer in Kansas.
But... for Amazon, being able to read the processes used by someone in the supply chain of Walmart or CVS would be very valuable. One could argue it would be foolish for Amazon to violate the trust of its Cloud service users, it could even be very difficult and impossible to pull it off and even impossible to hide... But still this is enough to demand Walmart or CVS or Giant or Home Depot to demand none of their vendors host anything on Amazon cloud. This might provide a way for these companies to collude against Amazon without drawing the attention of FTC.
Open? You mean the OOXML abomination? With binary blobs that can not be parsed by anything other than the old MS office functions? MsOffice has an emulator in which old code is executed to parse these blobs. They have still not provided a reference implementation of their own standard. And their own standard is, "feed this to the old ms office binary, what ever it spits out is the standard behavior"
