There's no way to make money from people naturally being immune, so regulators have no reason to incentivize that behavior. And tribally, it's not as much of a bonding experience as sticking a painful sharp object into your should

There's some evidence that this is actually dangerous. Getting repeat vaccines can confuse your immune system. In the UK, there's data showing 3x to 4x the rate of adverse effects from the vaccine for people who already have the a

It doesn't have to, because the effect of any law is to define what you can and cannot do in society without being punished, killed or excommunicated by the society, as represented by the government.

I would totally use this if it were an extension to Emacs. I keep lots of calculation results in text files, and edit them in emacs, but I don't want to use a totally separate app whenever I want to enter and calculate some math withi

Freedom of speech is about law. The first ammendment says: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redre

Freedom of speech is about the freedom to make political opinions while retaining your place in society as a citizen. None of the public judgements about RMS are about anything technical, anything about free software, or anything that touch

RMS doesn't lead with authoritarianism. You're assuming that anyone who is in a position of leadership is an "authoritarian," but that's not what the word means.

by toomim 6y ago
RMS created the FSF, and you're asking if he is fit for the role? He created the role. It fits him like a glove, because he created it from his own vision. If you don't think he is fit for the role, then you don't understan

I lived in China for 6 months. This fits my experience, and is remarkably similar to a story I was told by a native Chinese: "We were taught in school about Mao, who rose to power on idealism. At first he showed us many great things

I agree that using a JS runtime makes more sense that Emacs's weird e-lisp runtime, with all of its dynamic-scope weirdness. But dynamic scope, and e-lisp, isn't the only thing weird about Emacs. Emacs also calls "files&quot

What part about this app is "something you know"? It looks to me like it stores a private key in the app, just like all other 2FA apps.

Here's another academic article about how to lie to your users from just 8 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26345283 Truth is so 1995. Nobody cares about honesty anymore!

Great! More Academic articles about how to lie to users and convince them that your software is better than the competition without actually making it better. Dark Patterns are the new Light Patterns!

It means game over for users who run browsers like Safari, which don't isolate each site to their own OS process. If you load Javascript from one site, that JS can read the entire state of memory for another site, if it is within the s

Oye. So that means that in Safari, it's possible for any site to run some Spectre Javascript to read the cookies and passwords for any other site that happens to be running in the user's browser, and then log in as that user on o

by toomim 6y ago
No, the POC only shows the script leaking memory into javascript running within the same process, and thus the same site. Chrome is still preventing the info from leaking across sites.
504.
by toomim 6y ago
So given that the only mitigation to Spectre is to isolate each website into its own underlying OS process, it seems very important to know which browsers are doing that. Chrome is doing it. What about Firefox and Safari? What about Edge?

This doesn't run in Safari on an M1. I'm getting is error in the JS console: [Error] RuntimeError: Out of bounds memory access (evaluating 'this.wasm.exports.oscillateTreePLRU2') <?>.wasm-function[2]

This attitude that people who disagree with you are stupid or don't know cryptography about is part of the problem, and why people still buy into BTC when there are technologically far-superior coins out there. So you just demonstrated
