Yes, I do believe that in raw numbers most people have just enough food and water available so that they don't hunger. So the lowest 10% go even below that and face starvation now and then. I doubt that they enjoy the quality of the fo

But you got it figured out to share with everyone?

by dschuetz 9y ago
Yes, that's right, hence 'barely enough'. They do not hunger, yet they don't live as lavishly as the richest 10% of the world either. It's just/barely enough to satisfy hunger, but does it solve the problem? No

This discussion on Haber today inspired me to write a short article on whether it's even debatable how to judge his doing in WW I. Especially so the "Over my dead body" and why do wars thoughts, so kudos to you @nickik!

I agree on the reductionist part, it's never that simple. But, in his case it was his conscious decision to use the gas as a chemical weapon, the case of which was unprecedented. Sure anyone else would have come up with the idea soon

A war is always the ultimate escalation of conflict of interests. "Over my dead body" is literally the line, as you said. As for technology, the purpose of a machine or a construct is primarily a solution to problems which made pe

Yes I agree. The problem shifted , but it wasn't exactly solved. So, now it's not about how to feed 8 billions of people, but rather who gets how much. So '... and fed the world' in this article is a stretch for an argu

I don't agree. The Mongol Empire as an example is still remembered to this day. Nobody cares what exactly they did, but it's common sense that it was pretty bad. British colonial era? Same thing, but half the world still remembers

I don't think that his involvements in WW I are justified by his achievements in chemistry in favor of world population problems. Someone else would have found a way to bind nitrogen without him and so feed billions of people in the en

Apple customer care: "We absolutely can help you! Please deactivate notifications for the apps which bother you. Nothing as easy as that!"

I wonder why there still isn't a company making highest quality products like Apple once did, while not being a total dick about customer support? The machine seemed to work fine, despite its age. Why this smugness "Why don&#x27

This is especially interesting, because I remember that the Intel chipsets in iPhones and iPads have had problems in LTE performance comparisons. So, Intel was losing to their competitor some time anyway, but still Qualcomm somehow needed t

Depression and mania as its counterpart are states of the psyche out of emotional balance. Those are emotional struggles which need to be overcome by their bearers. Clinical depression based on endocrine imbalances does count as well, as it

Yes, finally the engineering community is being divided into two large groups - one that actually focuses one the technical issue at hand and one that focuses on personal insults. Everybody is winning, I suspect?

I agree with that. But, even though it's all true what you are saying, within the context of the argument about Meltdown they definitely need to be able to suck up the blame for it. Being called a moron doesn't make this mess less

by dschuetz 9y ago
Well, jeez. If I messed up badly and my boss, colleague, wife calls me a moron about this particular mess it doesn't mean they think I'm a moron generally, they just call it as it is, and I'm responsible for it. I don't

If that is true then Linus is a wrong bully. I haven't seen him continuously targeting other people personally to make them look weak. He criticizes other people's bad decision making or bad judgement, not their persona! There i

"You're a moron, because of this and that issue" isn't as personal as "you're a moron, because you were born stupid, and your family is stupid too" See the distinction? It's up to the person to take i

That's quite funny to read having the Brexit in the back of the mind. With the crippling EU regulations as one of the main reasons. Well, the dignity of a British person needs to be challenged sometimes to remind them that it's st

I think there needs to be a clear distinction of what a bully is and what they do. Bullies are violent for no reason, for the pleasure of it. Linus is at most verbally harsh for pretty obvious reasons, the main reason being the harsh his la

Actually that's pretty scary. Are the rest of heavy weight kernel code maintainers too stupid for than then? If it weren't for Linus' hard judgement? Would we then buying badly engineered products without ever questioning?

Of course it is! What is this question? No, man, not yet. Everyone has a thing just for the closed ones. Instead of asking "Is it time...?" you just do it when it's time! Damn those click baits. Although, open as in OpenS

Those mentioned are surely just convenience features ;) to believe that a single intelligence agency might exploit them in some way is clearly a conspiracy theory! ;) ;)

So you are talking about a special purpose processor solely for the purpose of being 100% deterministic? It'll be slow, but potentially more secure than its general purpose counterparts. Which of both would be more reliable security-wi

Rather less the same system architecture reiterated in different cpu architecture implementations (AMD, Intel), and more special purpose processors for a heterogeneous/hybrid system architecture following certain standards.

by dschuetz 9y ago
I think that there have been discussions, but everyone being on this one-big-complex-cpu-doing-everything train over the years made companies pursue financial goals rather than security. You cannot have a complex and secure CPU. That woul

Because instructions and data share the same memory space in general? Potentially, in such a system architecture any bug or bad implementation might lead to memory leaks from the whole memory range.
