Re:Meltdown Proof-of-Concept

These two bugs (Meltdown and Spectr) are really very speculative things. It is like when human beings became aware of astroid orbits they thought that earth is in danger of being hit by one. Now that is indeed a theoritical possibility but what are the chances? These two bugs have been existent for 20 years and there is no known exploits of them. In the GitHub demos also they mention that the demos will work only if "For this demo, you either need the direct physical map offset (e.g. from demo #2) or you have to disable KASLR by specifying nokaslr in your kernel command line." - So you basically start with a broken system to exploit these bugs.

Sri Ramakrishna said that all religions are just different path to the same divinity. Just like we call water by different names in different languages but ultimately they all mean the same liquid that quenches thirst , similarly different religions also lead to the same quenching of our spiritual thirst. Sri Ramakrishna not only said that but he practiced reaching enlightenment through different religions.

This is a very bad idea .. there is no need for so many people to sit in one place and terrible for housing and commute. Amazon should come up with a better idea .. this is so not like Amazon.
