It's all just history now for all I know, but there was work in the past to make Linux containers work on a Solaris fork (SmartOS, specifically) by emulating the Linux syscall table and presenting that to the containers. Joyent did wo

I wonder how much of it is to collect data and sell ads compared to just getting people to start utilizing what is now Microsoft's core resource, which is cloud services. For them, getting you using onedrive is a (huge) step towards ge

I think what's left unsaid and implied is that the original system wasn't secure in any way, the "tuning" was just choosing a frequency. It's only a "hack" because of the claims that were made. In a way, t

But that's a matter of scale. When I was a child, the Harlem Globetrotters were far more more famous than any 3-4 NBA teams combined. They were in multiple Scooby Doo movies/episodes. They failed tp scale the model, but wrestling

I seem to recall almost two years ago when I was getting info on a possible solar install, we had the options of LG batteries or Powerwall, and one of the specific points of difference that the more expensive (and larger capacity) Powerwall

There's a graduated penalty structure based on how problematic it is. It goes from $10k to $100k and then $10m, depending on whether you're in violation knowingly or unknowingly and whether there's a risk of death or serious

And if later on someone proposes more aggressive action if you don't do that action, they now have a record of all the times you've failed to do that thing which they can point to about how the current level of penalties are not s

Importantly, I think it's much more obvious what you're doing with a web app when you upload data. There's an erroneous belief when you're using native app that the data you provide to it never leaves the device. That

Which is mostly irrelevant because I have a few rack units of free space, with free power and bandwidth I can use if I want, but I haven't bothered because I don't have a need worth shelling out the money for a modern platform to

I have a couple units of free colocation cabinet space space and free bandwidth and power to go with it waiting to be used, so inefficient hardware is less of an issue for me. I've just been fairly lazy in sourcing it myself.

Source? That seems like something I would want to take advantage if at the moment...

My layman's understanding is that we've been doing it already for decades with expert system "AI", so likely much easier than navigating streets with other people.

I interpreted it as a roundabout way of increasing quality. Take any given subreddit. You have posts and comments, and scores, but what if the data quality isn't very good overall? What if instead of using it as is, you instead had

The only way I can understand you coming to that conclusion is if you assumed that's what they were going to be and didn't actually read any of them.

Everyone's gotta start some time. My first comment wasn't until almost exactly a year after I finally made an account (according to search, but that lines up with my memory), and I didn't even create an account until I had be

Hmm, from some light reading I'm unsure how active he was as "part of the plot". In any case, that sort of supports my original claim, in that the British royals not only have a history of Nazis attacking their country, but

I haven't watched it, and skimming the wikipedia page isn't making it obvious what you might be alluding to, other than maybe him touring Germany prior to the war. I'm not entirely sure where the downvotes came from since oth

For what it's worth, a UK prince is one of the few people or groups of people that I would assume were likely not hiding Nazi sympathies. Their entire country, and specifically their recent royal ancestors, where subject to Nazi aggre

More likely your initial comment was downvoted because it provides little additional context and makes a claim without support, as if it's self evident. Comments such as that rarely do well on complex topics. My own rule of thumb is t

I think that's mostly BPA and phthalates, and microplastics are often listed along with those, but I'm unsure if it was actually tested or if we notices people had a lot of microplastics and just assumed that was a likely source.

Nothing as in there is no outside noticeable change in behavior and they report no change in speaking, or nothing as it relates to the topic of this thread, in that they have no profound or spiritual experiences?

So, like normal history just sped up exponentially to the point it's noticeable in not just our own lifetime (which it seemed to reach prior to AI), but maybe even within a couple years. I'd be a lot more worried about that if I

A lot of things I would have previously said were impossible have happened in the last half year. If only a few of those things were of the impossibly good type.

Possibly, in which case, I'm not in disagreement, but that's not how I interpreted "Okay, fine: there is a use for human names for security bugs".

a CVE is just a link to uniquely identify a specific problem. They often also have names, coined by the people that discovered them, such as "heartbleed". A CVE is similar in concept than a URL shortener but with more procedural n
