For some reason I get an almost misanthropic vibe from a lot of these. Maybe I’m missing some context where they support eliminating global poverty and such in parallel, but it feels too much like the subtext is that they don’t feel that al

Again I call bullshit. There’s no way in a million years these same clowns would apply the same logic to gun control. This is all just motivated reasoning because the court wants to advance a conservative agenda

Speculative execution vulnerabilities largely don’t cause system compromise and instead are constrained by virtual memory. That’s why much of the focus was on the OS kernel: modern operating systems generally include all physical memory i

The other replies give the technical definitions, but the high level picture is that a security is an investment opportunity. The issuer of a security has to follow a bunch of laws to ensure that said issuers don’t go around scamming everyd

The goal of bus lanes isn’t to maximize throughput, but rather to decrease bus travel time. Pointing out the peak capacity of a bus lane being radically higher than a mixed traffic lane is only meant to justify why a bus lane can be worthwh

You can make this kind of lazy dismissal of any early stage project. The paper was published at a workshop which is a venue for speculative/unfinished work.

If you believe that the only people who matter are the ones driving cars, then of course you're going to conclude that anything done to benefit other road users isn't worth it. But people do take the bus today, so improving thei

The problem is that drivers consider practically any changes to the status quo to be “punishment”. Replace several street parking spaces (in a neighborhood with hundreds of spots) to put in a bike lane? Punishment. Cut ten minutes off bus t

The problem is that most environmental protection laws predate climate change being a primary concern. So even something where it is blatantly obvious that it is going to be a net good for the environment can get bogged down in years of re

The interesting thing about planning is that NIMBYs will insist that a years long planning process is required, right up until the point one is completed saying how a bunch more housing can be added. Then all of a sudden they insist that th

Part of the reason is that cities frequently hold off cycle elections which drastically reduces turnout. If mayor/city councilors were chosen with the same ballot as presidential candidate, the things would be very different

That’s not true. There’s lots of ways that things are rigged in favor of NIMBYs. For example, environmental review laws enable a NIMBY minority to file bogus lawsuits that add years of delays (during which time developers still have to pay

The problem is that some folks insist that “we can’t inconvenience automobile users until public transit is perfect” and others say “we can’t justify investing in transit unless way more people start using it”.

Storing a hash of the first three characters still cripples the security. It is trivial to brute force a hash when there’s only 62^3 possibilities. And once you know the first characters, brute forcing the remaining ones is exponentially ea
