I don't think I've ever read a more confusing summary.
It might have helped if the first part of this had appeared on Slashdot. But yes, the summary, particular the title, is hopeless. A better title might be: "ARM beclowns itself with FUD against RISC-V"
This is about ARM FUD against RISC-V that appeared yesterday on a new site setup by ARM marketing creeps. It was a shock to people that respect ARM, so much so that some argued it was a hoax. It took some investigation into the FUD site and its origins to convince people.
The fact is that what ARM sells is being commoditized. It's being commoditized because what they sell isn't all that novel any longer. The core of an ARM based integrated circuit is a small fraction of the value of these devices today; they real value is in the peripherals.
Open Source is better, but not because there is some vast horde of people auditing the code for free. There isn't. Linus wasn't talking about auditing code. Linus wasn't even necessarily discussing security. That quote doesn't claim or even imply that some benevolent group of open source programmers are scouring code for security flaws.
Linus was simply observing that even difficult bugs are quickly understood when enough people look at the problem. The known problem; not latent flaws in some large body of work.
How is this design better than other designs. What are the advantages / disadvantages?
The AP1000 is a "Generation 3+" design; an evolved Pressurized Water Reactor. It's operation is not fundamentally different from the common PWRs designed in the late 60's and onward. It has been greatly refined, however, and uses a much smaller number of components; pipes, pumps, valves, etc.
The big party piece of the AP1000 is the Passive Containment Cooling System which goes directly to Fukushima. The AP1000 can survive a blackout event where no power is available to drive reactor cooling pumps and prevent core damage, and do so without operation intervention. The core cooling system cools the core for 72 hours using a gravity driven water supply at the top of the containment vessel. The water supply can be topped up from an external supply to continue cooling indefinitely.
Had the reactors at Fukushima been AP1000s you probably wouldn't be able to recall that name today. Of course, had the Japanese and GE simply not graded the hills down to nearly sea level there would have been no core damage as well.
Why don't we mitigate climate change with both nuclear AND renewables?
Because it's not really about climate change. It's about power; who tells who what they will or won't.
Anything that isn't "wind and solar" will always be met with derision. Wind and solar is the hair shirt solution that requires severe cuts, high costs and coercive policy. That's a feature. That's the feature.
it's the ones escaping violence. The actual refugees. The economic migrants come to your country for a better life. They integrate well into society. The refugees are forced out by violence. They don't want to be in your country, they want to go home. So they don't integrate.
The people of Southern Europe are no longer indulging this sort of hair splitting. They can't afford to any longer.
No, it isn't. Few can be notable, by definition. Few will, therefore, ever enjoy the independence your status provides you. Most have three choices on the net; flatter the prevailing group-think, be silent or use anonymity. Think hard before having the last removed please.
It was only four months ago that they kicked JWST out to 2020. SLS got delayed to 2019 and is now being audited by the OIG; expect that report to be another shit show, followed by another delay to 2020.
It's interesting to me that the hardware requirements (PC anyhow) are that of about a 6-ish year old machine. According to gamespot all you need to run it well is a 3570K (2012) and a 970 (2014).
It is vote buying nonsense like this that annihilated Justin Trudeu's Liberal party two weeks ago in the June 7th Ontario general election. Nine days from now when the new legislature begins the Liberals will have so few seats they won't be an official party. The media is badgering the new majority party to make exceptions for the few surviving Liberals so they aren't treated as a handful of nearly powerless, unfunded independents.
Comey is the quintessential empty suit and everyone in Washington knows it. Senator Graham toyed with him once during a hearing. He asked Comey if guns ordered on the Internet would be shipped to his house, avoided a background check. This is the director of the FBI employed during Fast and Furious; a person who should have detailed knowledge of FFL laws in the US. So what did he think?
"... I assumed it's shipped to you, but I don't know for sure actually..."
Graham didn't pursue it. He knew what he was dealing with and was just amusing himself.
What I don't understand about Comey is that he all but threw the election to Trump while panning Trump left and right.
It's easy to understand. Comey and the rest of the beltway didn't even suspect Trump might get elected. The purpose of that farcical reopen/close stunt was to clean the slate; Clinton would win the election and enter office with no outstanding investigative hangups.
A link follows to a map of the ten rivers. Trigger alert! Daily Mail ahead, Do Not Soil Yourselves: link
I suspect we're going to see a lot fewer of these plastic patch, oceans are full of plastic stories now that the bulk (90%+) of the problem has been credibly traced to Asia. Doubtless they'll try to attribute it all to "western consumption herp derp," but it's still a speed bump and will reduce coverage dramatically.
So... problem solved! We now return you to your regularly scheduled Carbon anxiety stories.
Stories like this make me angry.... makes my teeth itch.
The story, or at least this summary, is objective and neutral in tone about the matter; pretty much just the facts about a new Chinese surveillance state policy. The problem you're having is one of excessive self regard; you're convinced that all these non-Chinese readers are oblivious to all the surveillance they're subject to and in desperate need of your brilliant insight while they're gently fondling their 'murican flags and ARs.

It was so bad that alternative slashdots were created. At least one is still running. I think...

Millions of common people tired of being overrun by economic migrants.
This is a chicken-and-egg thing

separate entity from the Liberal Party of Canada (federal)
had nothing to do with Justin Trudeau
Keep telling yourself that. Don't stop, whatever you do.
It is vote buying nonsense like this that annihilated Justin Trudeu's Liberal party two weeks ago in the June 7th Ontario general election. Nine days from now when the new legislature begins the Liberals will have so few seats they won't be an official party. The media is badgering the new majority party to make exceptions for the few surviving Liberals so they aren't treated as a handful of nearly powerless, unfunded independents.
So keep it up. Working great so far.
Never seen so much "For the children!!" sanctimony on slashdot.
It's a fake moral panic over immigration.
someone will actually hack something together just for shear horror value.

How big does the group have to be before you take off the blinders they trained you to wear?
MS-13 "taking over schools" is Fox agitprop.
Actually it appears to be wapo agitprop.
but I haven't heard anything about using them in the US.
Must not have looked very hard. Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Facility
Wrong-doers, you mean.
Where "do" is tweeting a contrary opinion.
