You can still acknowledge interrupts in between, so hardware watchdogs will prevent this.

Self-dosed chlorinated water isn’t the worst option, but I wouldn’t call alternatives a luxury. Only people I’m familiar with that still use that technique frequently are PCT through-hikers, who are pretty desperate to cut any weight possib

Price gouging does cause users to associate the site with high prices. Particularly when third party sellers aren’t transparent about MSRP. Amazon risks losing customers to physical shops if they become known for being 3x+ as expensive. Ama

With long enough time horizon and some limited exceptions, I’m not certain this is controversial. The moment you add a specific date, I suspect this does become polarizing. Many would like gas cars to be gone in 10 years, others 50 years, a

I had expected this to be a story of pure fraud. Instead it was... something else entirely? I’m curious precisely which laws Goudreau violated. Article specifically mentions arms trafficking, but that honestly seems like a far cry from the

Wait, why is this trimming controversial? The original paper is a little mediocre (would be down for generic criticism of relying on it), but this trimming seems to match the main drive of it. Just read the paper, and the association is pre

This is no different that standard text books. There is a lot of filler. You can skim if the primary concept already makes sense, or you can read the extra details if you are confused. It’s a popsci book, not big Rudin.

Did you ever get the low temp vantablack working as expected? I’m guessing oxygen is passivating the aluminum surface somewhere in the process, and the paper doesn’t document how careful they were. I’d personally want to do this under a nit

A lot of people treat nature as "inherent". Noise has the implication that it is external. Obviously, the case mentioned in the article is that there is an inherent property of the crawfish that modulates the effect of noise, whic

From the article, it does not sound like much needs to change to prevent abuse of this level. Requirements of at least one non-anonymous source would do it. Dismantlement seems pretty unnecessary.

Often this type of action is not the government spending that level of money with nothing in return. Generally it is buying an asset it intends to sell later (often at a profit).

Depending on your risk tolerance, mostly yes: 1) You can disable kPTI without opening the door to Meltdown (which let you directly read kernel memory as usermode). 2) You can re-enable hyperthreading while allowing virtualization (VMs) with

Intel continues to get beaten up by their decision to defer access checks in speculation. Meltdown, L1TF, and now LVI-stale-data are all rooted in one mistake. Fortunately, the silicon fix for Meltdown appears to mitigate these issues (&quo

This seems non-sequitor? The main infection route is airborne droplets. Sure, washing your hands reduces risk, but it does not solve the problem. Showering is a good idea, but not relevant.

Huh? I’m pretty confused by this attitude. This seems pretty callous. Obviously, media hype train is in full swing, but this is fairly infectious and fairly dangerous for those over 80 and those with other risk factors. That’s narrow, but i
