That is possible, time will tell. It is quite possible (and at this point, even desirable) that breakthrough will be made elsewhere in foundations of physics.

Yes. First, intuition depends on your experience. If you never studied physics, most things will be nonintuitive (heavy bodies don't fall faster than light ones? really?) Second, modern 20th century physics education (courses, textbook

The things you mention may be useful to science and even help in evolving foundations of physics, but that hasn't happened yet. Ms. Hossenfelder talks about things such as internal consistency of quantum methodologies, consistency of Q

What is the point of such a question? Writing software that is successful in the sense it gets major adoption is not necessarily desired by power users. On the contrary, we have a well known example in systemd. That's why you see sarca

1) There are Xeon Scalable processor packages with 48 and 56 cores on the market, thus with 96 or 112 simultaneous threads. Cloud providers here probably sell that thread as "one vCPU", although 2) ... they could also time-share o

The article is inconsistent about chroot, but regarding SELinux, it has a point. SELinux looks like an old and solid mechanism to isolate processes from each other. Nowadays we have lxc to do that as well, but it does not make SELinux usele

Well they do not read directly each other's memory, but still the baseband processor is electrically connected and so can exfiltrate data from or manipulate the application processor. On the other hand, if you have two phones glued tog

Barely any connection? Like if there is only a single wire, it's fine because the data exfiltration / os manipulation takes long? Oh please. These two processors are interconnected and most of phones run some unknown untrustworthy

I agree. However, let me help you: there is a way to bypass that problem by defining shell wrapper function with names that you like in .bashrc.

Yes the radiation from the infalling body gives the remote observer some information about what is going on with the body. From their viewpoint, the process of fall into the hole takes infinite time, or in other words, it never completes. T

My argument is that orthodox economics and its application in the West have shown their limits so other ideas cannot be easily dismissed. Yes, failures of the Soviet Union are known. Totalitarian state murdering its own people, systemic cor

The point is classic distributions which support their product for a long time (Debian, Ubuntu,RHEL,Centos) are easier to use for basic users you can meet on street. With Arch or Gentoo, you are right that there is a package manager which m

Oh this trope again. I am no vendor and I fully support the idea that security researchers coordinate their publication activities with affected parties.

I meant the LTS model such as Ubuntu 18.04 gives you old version software with the possibility of worse functionality and more security holes. Arch may be more up-to-date than Ubuntu, but it isn't in the same category; it is not LTS, a

It certainly isn't merely the word of the US, it is its status and behaviour. The big factor is that US is a very big and stable economy and military wise. People know that, so they think large and long-term fall of dollar value is qui

That is interesting. Can you recommend some good sources on these economy laws? How can I convince somebody that increasing interest rates, an unpopular move, should prevent large inflation, which is something people want?

Thanks, this confirms my impression - the distributions are prone to think "we want to organize the software, but keeping up-to-date upstream software is too much work, so we'll use shared libraries and freeze everything to older
