A regulation is what entitles them to take the 30%. And seriously, what do you think the percent should be? It's not that simple.

That statement wasn't political, and it has everything to do with the topic being discussed. It wasn't political because Trump's "style" is a fact recognized by partisans on both sides; they just judge it differentl

Thanks for weighing in. Speaking as a layman: Running on the same physical core is a pretty common case on laptops. Sharing a library with your target is probably a very common case. For instance, libc.

I think so. But I'm just inferring that from Google's security blog posting; I can't say with real expertise. Would love for an expert to chime in.

Don't think this is right on one detail. Spectre2 should allow malicious JavaScript to read data from other processes. Running browser tabs in separate processes (e.g. Google Chrome's new Site Isolation) should protect data from S

I'm pretty surprised by your comment here. I wasn't crabbing at you or trying to argue. You said I hadn't been attacked, which was mistaken (an entire comment only consistent of "You are a hypocrite,") and I poited

I was attacked. The following comment: > You're a hypocrite. (-rogered) I responded to that comment twice. First, defending myself as not having made hypocritical comments. Then, somewhat "regretting" that, I made a second

edit: I do not agree with that, but I've decided to stop arguing because this has become a pointless flame war. I've removed my rebuttal.

I hate to see a discussion become a degraded flame war but I am the one who was attacked and who called it out, not the one who started it.

No, I'm not. I put forward arguments and observations. "Stupid" is an observation, a correct observation, and it is not targeted at a HN user, and it is not supposed to motivate an argument by itself. In contrast, the comment

All right, but the smoking point is not really relevant and the rest of your comment is just emotionalism and insults. If you can't make an actual argument, and all you can do is whine, you are just showing that you don't have a

What you are describing is "stupid." Why even bother to try to fix stupid? Stupid people do stupid things and the more you try to support them, the more they do it. People need to learn discipline.

99% of science today involves people self-reporting results, with tenure, grant money, etc. dependent on those results. So are you saying that the credibility of 99% of science is at risk? Note that peer review doesn't get out of this

When writing in English, unless the writer specifies otherwise, the word "observation" means what the dictionary says it does. The writer of this article is saying that the particles behave differently after being observed. Perhap

If you think that's true, you must assume that bitcoin is just a hokey experiement, because nobody would switch to it in the first place. Sure, if bitcoin were widely used, it would be very hard for something else to overtake it. But i

People absolutely would switch away from bitcoin if something better came along. If people would rather use something else to trade with, bitcoin stops being potentially widely used in trade. If bitcoin stops being potentially widely used i

It's not selfish. Doing something that does not work is not selfish, it is self-sacrificial. It is stupid.

Because you can't control other people, but you can control how you react internally to what they say. Thinking about what they are saying in an appropriate way will lead to an appropriate emotional response. If you can't do that,

That is out of context for this discussion. Banks have regulatory capture. Plus, I'm not aware of bank execs committing fraud. Plus, I'm not saying that the tort system works perfectly, I'm staying that is what we should fix,
