In the present discussion, the increase in usage of arbitration is not necessarily motivated by libertarian philosophy. It would seem simpler to assume that the companies that include binding arbitration in their contracts are simply makin

Perhaps I am overstepping my bounds, but to me it seems that using coercion to get information from a witness (Whatsapp appears to be in the position of a witness) is a recipe for getting unreliable information when the witness. Whatsapp se

Assuming at least some users are going to write down their passwords, I wonder if it would be appropriate to show them more secure ways to do that. Unfortunately, my "better" way is to stuff the sticky note in my wallet. If I cou

FWIW, trolls don't uniquely focus on feminists. Their emotional buttons are just so easy to find and push; when your advocacy === your emotional button, then you are broadcasting how to make you upset. If you are easily made upset, t

It would be sensible for hypervisors to require IOMMU for all PCI passthrough, but it looks like Xen allows it without IOMMU for paravirtualised guests: "VT-d Pass-Through is a technique to give a domU exclusive access to a PCI funct

It depends in what aspects. Certainly technological progress has not been declining since the '80s. American GDP has more or less been steadily increasing since the '60s. While I too have the feeling that America is on the decl

Not all new hardware provides IOMMU. For instance, the i7-4770K does not have the VT-d extension, which is Intel's version of IOMMU. [1] [1] = http://ark.intel.com/products/75123/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-Proc...

You are correct that it is dependent upon whether your motherboard has IOMMU [1]. Nevertheless, given the following paragraph, then it seems to be the reverse: it is generally unwise to willy-nilly give out PCI pass-through, unless you h

Be careful with GPU passthrough in general; you are giving Windows in that VM direct memory access. [1] In the last year or so, a group was able to overwrite Xen (in order to get additional privileges outside the VM) by merely being given

It would seem that an additional source of information (e.g. a nearby seismograph bolted to bedrock) would be the solution to this problem. This is analogous to a blind person trying to identify whether a sound is a recording or the Real M
