Perhaps you should try to read the article and learn Rust before commenting? Rust and CPU level memory exploits targets different class of vulnerabilities. Rust make it easy to write system level safely especially for temporal and spacial memory safety at code level. It not just help in security but also make your programs much more stable by avoid the issues in the first place. Those Apple/ARM CPU level enhancement are more like detecting and stopping the attack when it happens, it doesn't avoid/prevent the issues before it happens. So, if you are writing C/C++ programs, your program will just crash or kernel panic at the customer site when you accidentally forgotten you array bound checking. Or, do you prefer Rust to actually help you to prevent you from making the silly mistake before you even ship to customer? Also, Rust can't do anything to fix CPU speculative execution leaks and other hardware memory issues like row hammer attacks. That's also why they have to implement such HW level fixes. BTW i still don't understand what's with all the rust hate? There are so many programming languages out there. Each have a different purpose, use the right tool for the job, don't be obsessive with a single tool.

It depends on the objective of the commissioned study. If it is a PR stunt, then we have to take it with a big grain of salt, but companies also often do competitive analysis on competitor products to benchmark and set future product development directions. I can easily image how Qualcomm execs would like to how good is the Apple's C1

I think the problem is how they define political contents. While I'm also fine with removing all those toxic political hate speech, it seems that Meta is also limiting many scientific topic especially those that have been somewhat weaponized by politicians like climate change, health care, etc. This is causing issues with many legit science communicators on the platforms.

The same Joe Rogan who was spreading COVID misinformation? https://www.abc.net.au/news/20...

Either he is getting paid to allow those conspiracy crackhead to talk on his show or he is actually silly enough to believe all those BS? Either way, he don't sound like someone I'd like to listen to.

If 1.8 billion dollars sound like a lot of money, perhaps we as humanity should also consider why we have also invested over 400 billion into ByteDance, the parent company of a Tiktok when we could have used the valuable resources, money and brainpower for climate change?

Unfortunately there are people that will believe it. Remember di-hydrogen monoxide parody? There were actually so many people that believed in it that there were actual campaigns ban it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Yes, that's what I've been saying about these people complaining about lithium battery. We need to compare to the "waste" generated from gasoline. An EV have at most a few hundred kilograms of battery that usually last the lifetime of the car. Even if it is thrown to landfill, that just a large chunk of battery in the landfill. Compared that to several dozen tonnes of CO2 and other nasty pollutant from the tailpipe over the lifetime of an engine, that is several orders of magnitude less pollution.

There is a growing number of solar farms that actually also uses the land for agriculture use. For growing food that does not require too much direct sunlight or using the land for sheep grazing etc. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Yes, they have their own Star Trek-like Prime Directive of non-interference for inferior native population. They took a look at us making a fool of ourselves with silly elections to vote for crazy politician to become top leaders and also on a straight path to climate change self-destruction. So they decided that this barbaric world is not worth saving.

I'm driving a hybrid and I'm getting around 4.1 liter/100km or 57MPG on highways and 3.9 l/100km or 60MPG in city. A full tank of 45 liters can bring me over 1000km which is much better than most ICE cars of similar size. I've reduced my overall fuel consumption by almost half of my previous car. Also because about 30% of the range is on electric, it has a periodic service interval of 1.5x longer than typical ICE car. So, even the manufacturer has higher confidence that it requires less maintenance.

Raising sea levels due to climate change and island nation with mostly coastal cities does not seems like a good idea?

triple DES was mainly meant to increase key size, the increased security come mainly from much larger keyspace compared to the original 56-bit, not so much from encrypt/decrypt 3 times.

It does not matter. Current governments are already transparent. The conspiracy theorist will just continue to say the government data are have been fabricated and manipulated. Does not matter how much date you give them, they will just ignore them and just seek out only "data" to confirm their beliefs.

Unfortunately, it is also the target of all the anti-GMO anti-vax crowd claiming the traditional attenuated virus is more "natural" and kept spewing all the batshit stuff about DNA mutation, etc..

There are not many HR and accounting positions left in most smaller companies especially tech companies as most of the HR and accounting task has been subject outsourcing in the past 20 years. I've previously worked for a start up with team of 50 that has only 1 nice lady with the role of admin/HR/Finance.
