I hope I understand your question correctly. The request asks for something in protected memory and also asks for something based off a portion of the protected memory (like the first byte). The system denies access to the request then puts both results in cache. The attacker then asks for a byte of memory similar to the second request, which the system tries to get from cache but then goes to memory since it wasn't in cache. The attacker doesn't want that result so cancels the request and asks for another byte similar to the second request. That process repeats until the system says "Hey this byte is in my cache" and gives the result back to the attacker. That let's the attacker know what the first byte of that protected memory was. The attacker then repeats that whole process until they've read the entire protected memory, which is at a rate of 1500/bytes a second. It never gets the actual protected memory from the cache.

Containers are an abstraction that exist using cgroups and namespaces for isolation. They use the hosts' kernel, it's not virtualized. Containers are only limited by the capabilities of namespaces and cgroups, unlike vms.

You might be dismissing microservices too quickly. They do have overhead but so does any level of abstract; the benefit of them though is clear separation of responsibilities between services and residency(Swarms, clusters, etc). Both can be achieved with Vms but VMs weren't built with these goals in mind

Usually traceable unless you use a tumbler to "clean" your coins, even then it's still traceable I think
This is fantastic, I've been thinking about this for years.

Allow your code to exert willpower over your budget when your's is lacking

Exactly what I was thinking.

Side note, anyone available to go on a poacher hunt?

For all of those saying that Autopilot is dangerous.

This is a very important issue. Doctors are over prescribing and jumping to unneeded surgeries. The question is, are they doing it out of fear of a malpractice lawsuit for denying a patient what they need or is it from kickbacks, incentives and the knowledge that the persons insurance will pay them?

Just because something works doesn't mean it's not a broken system.

Suprised that no one else has commented on this article.

Re:Dopamine Cells Influence Our Perception of Time on Saturday January 28, 2017 @10:37PM (#13511855)
Entirely subjective. I have people that would testify to a similar experience but no objective proof.

I am basing this off of my experience being prescribed 20mg extended release Adderall

Re:Dopamine Cells Influence Our Perception of Time on Saturday January 28, 2017 @02:58PM (#13508685)
There is another article trending right now about increased Dopamine in the shower causing your executive functions to diminish and allows for increased creativity.

Seems like you could extrapolate that dopamine has a direct inverse correlation to executive functions in the brain. I'd go so far as to use New York and Silicon Valley as good examples of increased executive function and increased creativity, respectively.

I'd also relate this to the certain side-effects of Adderall, increased Dopamine causing a loss of time awareness and higher creativity, but the increase in your sympathetic nervous system causes the increased focus and awareness. Almost a best of both worlds, besides the likely strain on the body from overworking both systems.

I like the hope in this article. I can't trust it any more than I can trust other media sources but I'd rather believe this than some doomsday prophecy that was mostly designed to scare views into watching more.

Re:Yarn – A new package manager for JavaScript on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @02:22PM (#12687082)
JavaScript has enough issues that I prefer to not touch it, focusing more on backend Python work. Yarn is one of the first steps I've seen that makes me interested in JavaScript again. Excited to see where this leads the community.
I have nothing to add other than my voice of agreement about the clear corruption of these laws.

What is the benefit, to the people of North Carolina, of restricting municipal ISP growth? What rights are being protected by these laws? I am disgusted by the clear disregard of the people of NC's interests, but also by the lack of action by the people themselves.
