The only really useful distinction that can be made here is between companies that have architecture licenses, and therefore can design their own uarch, and companies with any other kind of arm license.

That's a reasonable perspective. I disagree, however, because my opinion is that the trillions of hours spent are not simply unhelpful (i.e. neutral) but actually damaging. My calculation is therefore that the net impact of the web is

I do this too. I learned pretty much every valuable skill I have using resources freely available online. In my experience, this is pretty uncommon though. I know only a few people that use the web this way, and a lot who browse the front

Can anyone comment on what's going on with the ground channel in the circuit here? Seems like you would want to tie the input ground to the virtual ground between the two 9Vs and then maybe buffer the output ground, but this circuit do

The Internet has value, sure. But what value does the WWW have, if all the content on it is worthless?

in that time period, Amazon both operated at a loss and made money. Fun how that works.

By hidden, I wasn't referring to guns just left in bags. The TSA calls it "artful concealment" - stuff like guns taped to steel plates (for X-ray shadow) or knives stuck in the bottom of deodorant. Maybe those people just for

But loads of the stuff the TSA confiscates is hidden - it's probably just hidden because the TSA is really annoying, and people want to take their e.g. pistol to their destination.

I disagree. The TSA has no mandate to determine intent - the organization was created to stop those with bad intent (and others) by enforcing regulations on all travelers . Maybe that isn't a good approach, and the high level goal is

by twtw 8y ago
So, this statistic is a little bit incomplete. It's relatively easy for clever operators to sneak contraband past TSA, but the TSA does confiscate a lot of potentially edgy stuff from travelers' carry-ons: thousands of firearms (i

Care to share your reasoning? - the article describes the symptoms in mice that the researchers observe, and it seems like a reasonable place to start. Or do you just prefer to disparage the work of these researchers, without explanation?

Sorry if this is too unrelated to the original post. I just recently discovered verilator, and it seems pretty awesome. I'm curious if there are some drawbacks that you are aware of that make people dislike it?

What IBM systems are you thinking of? System/360 had (and used) hardware privilege levels. Seems like few of your examples involve not using hardware for process isolation. Java: no, except a few research OSes. Flash: no.
