This needs to be voted up to the heavens, where it can shine above the insular heels that come up with corporate password policies.
Has it ever occurred to them that all those cracked-out, contradictory password requirements actually reduce entropy rather than the other way around? You can't come up with policies based on how you'd like people to act, you have to come up with policies based on how they do act.
You ever been on a jury? I have. These "peers" wouldn't know logic if it hit them in the face. It's all about emotional appeal and whether the defendant is easy on the eye.
I've been saying this for a decade. The conclusion didn't require a team of overpaid researchers to deduce.
And you can keep saying it for another decade and still be wrong. Up until recently there was no incentive to open up more rare earth mines because the Chinese were supplying everyone cheaply. But then they stopped and now rare earth mines are opening up, thus solving the supply issue. Amazing, eh?
The best minds did know what they were doing, there was code that zeroed out all the data between calls. The person who picked it up later and saw a huge performance improvement by removing the code that wrote into the buffer twice is what caused the problem.
Anyone who argues with me about there being no need to comment their code "because the code is self-explanatory", I specifically use this exact issue as a counter-example of how very wrong they are and how much they can just stand their and bask in their wrongness.
No, it doesnâ(TM)t. Read their FAQ. The sploit was only tested on Intel.
Incorrect. From the FAQ on the page you linked to:
Which systems are affected by Meltdown?
How about the Hillary campaign using a business that paid for the dirty dossier generated by an ex member of the UK intelligence agencies?
FYI. The dossier was initiated and originally funded by a rich donor to the "Never Trump" arm of the Republican party.

You do realize that most of the folks that started Wayland were originally long-time X hackers, right? There has to be a reason why they gave up trying to get X11 to behave properly, besides "because it's bloated".

They drew those borders with little to no consideration for the indigenous cultural, lingual, and political boundaries.
Eh, no. They drew those borders very deliberately, to keep warring factions at each others' throats in perpetuity. The idea was to ensure that those countries could never prosper on their own but would instead eventually require "help" of Western nations.
Making all the other supercomputers Wirth-less.
Yea, but who likes Thomsas Edison? He was a jerk and an ass.
And really sweaty, apparently.
Wat?
Why does all food that is made by robot taste like shit? I'm serious. I'm trying to think of some food product that is assembled by robots that doesn't taste horrible and is not horrible for you.
Because once you've eliminated all non-essential employment costs, the only savings left is in the ingredients. Everything else is fixed and mostly non-negiotiable (rent, utilities, maintenance, miscellaneous overhead).
Republicans say they're all for smaller government and less personal intrusion. Cursory glance at their actual actions does not support their assertions. You keep on believing that, however, if it helps you sleep.
