GDPR disaster that boosted Googles dominance, protocols instead of platforms.

This entire approach is backwards and silly. If we want to have better control over our privacy we're not going to do it through demanding better privacy policies, or confusing data protection laws. We need to create the incentives to put the actual control of the data back into the hands of the users. And that doesn't just mean a right to download your info. It means that you have full control over your data and get to control what apps and services can access it and for what reasons. That's not the world we have today, and nothing in the GDPR gets us any closer to it.

And the answer is not "more enforcement." That just locks in the big companies even more and continues to present the roadmap to "follow" the rules, or to work the refs. Instead, if we moved to a system of protocols instead of platforms we could decouple the data from the service, putting real control of the data back in the hands of end users. Then things like privacy policies and GDPR enforces wouldn't matter so much, because we'd have direct control over our data.

One Year Into The GDPR: Can We Declare It A Total Failure Yet?

Tomorrow will represent a full year since the GDPR went into effect. In the run-up to the GDPR, we called out many of the problems with the regulation which, while well-intended, did not seem to deal well with the nature of the internet, speech, or...

My baby likes to watch some videos on YouTube. Baby videos. Some retarded person with a really big google iq no doubt decided that it would be a good idea to put a live chat on baby videos. It reminds me of the time i bought walkie talkies for the kids for Christmas. (It is a horrible idea). So no thanks, mr retardo montebon googley man.

Years ago in los angeles there was a car chase with police, the dude stopped and lit himself on fire and shot himself in the head. This happened around 3:30-4:00 when kids just got home from school and turned on the tv. So they started doing broadcast delays.

I lived in LA for several years and there was a car chase on the news like every day.

About Christchurch Call

On 15 March 2019, people looked on in horror as, for 17 minutes, a terrorist attack against two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, was live streamed. 51 people were killed and 50 injured and the live stream was viewed some 4,000 times before being removed.

First time I've heard of these I think. It seems that some people cannot use ssh authentication and sign their commits with gnupg? It looks like its basically a password.

So they can pull and push code by adding their password on the url, and its conveniently stored in the config file for everyone to see.

Microarchitectural Data Sampling

Under certain conditions, data in microarchitectural structures that the currently-running software does not have permission to access may be speculatively accessed by faulting or assisting load or store operations. This does not result in incorrect program execution because these operations never complete, and their results are never returned to software. However, software may be able to forward this speculative-only data to a side channel disclosure gadget in a way that potentially allows malicious actors to infer the data.

Microarchitectural data sampling (MDS) includes CVE-2018-12126, CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2018-12130, (6.5 Medium CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N) and CVE-2019-11091 (3.8 Low CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N). MDS speculative execution side channel methods can be used to expose data in the following microarchitectural structures:

    Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS) CVE-2018-12126
    Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS) CVE-2018-12130
    Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling (MLPDS) CVE-2018-12127
    Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM) CVE-2019-11091

MDS only refers to methods that involve microarchitectural structures other than the level 1 data cache (L1D) and thus does not include Rogue Data Cache Load (RDCL) or L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). Store buffers, fill buffers, and load ports are much smaller than the L1D, and therefore hold less data and are overwritten more frequently. It is also more difficult to use MDS methods to infer data that is associated with a specific memory address, so malicious actors may need to collect significant amounts of data and analyze it to locate any protected data.

We recommend disabling Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), also known as Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, which significantly reduces the impact of MDS-based attacks without the cost of more complex mitigations.

Yikes. Foregoing Hyper-Threading is no small sacrifice. Beginning to really wish I'd gone back to AMD.

Yeah, their processors are great and the price per processing power ratio is much lower. But i think their graphics card blow. And i haven't checked lately but the mobo availability was pretty limited compared to what choices are available for Intel.

Times have changed :) AMD has a 32 core 64 thread processor. It's around $1600 USD. Plus a board would be another $400. So a top system would run maybe 4000 bucks.

A Seattle company is figuring out how to deliver packages with drones and electronic frogs and build space cities inside giant glass tubes (I'm presuming glass - plastic has a very high outgassing rate and it gets brittle with long term UV exposure).

They claim he was illegally distributing confidential information. But I'm pretty sure this is bullshit because it should be protected speech.
