Finland doesn't exists.


Exist



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.


this is for meltdown right? how would you explain the difference between this and spectre, going from this explanation?


Also wondering this


Makes me want to cry.


To think this article is from 2016...


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


Using VMs to isolate single processes is like owning multiple toasters, and buying a different house to plug each toaster in.


Nah, that is separate physical machines. For VMs it's more like a multitenant toaster colo, with every toaster in its own asbestos cage, but sharing power and network^Wbread. For containers, it's like putting them all in one house but putting a fuse and RCD on every toaster. A traditional server is building a custom house each time and the toasters are all plugged into the same socket.

I'm not sure the toaster analogy will gain mass acceptance.


What if you're hosting toasters owned by people who might be rude teenagers who want to set any house with a rival toaster in it on fire?

When Docker can safely protect a Minecraft server in one container from a local DoS attack coming from a bot running in a sibling container, I'll reconsider using VMs. :P


Resiliency


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?


Don't go poacher hunting yourself, arm and pay some locals to do it - help the community and all that, discourage the kind of desperation that leads to poaching in the first place.


I'm game. Let's go protect the wildlife. Though the best course of action would be finding ways to temper demand for poached animals. Easier said than done I know.


>I'm game

Could be a problem if you're trying to hunt poachers.


How about legalizing fraud in these narrow contexts, e.g., passing off fake ivory for the real thing is no longer illegal?


I doubt you'd get busted for passing off fake ivory even without such a change, probably not many people want to out themselves as an ivory buyer to authorities and media.


Education might also help rhinos from losing their tusks. Too many believe that the tusks help verility of all things. Without sounding ethnocentric these cultural beliefs are harmful and incongruent or unbecoming of an educated society


I bring the SDR, you bring the rifle? :)


doxx the poachers


For all of those saying that Autopilot is dangerous.

NHTSA’s full final investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot shows 40% crash rate reduction

https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/19/nhtsas-full-final-investig....

The report by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says that Tesla’s Autopilots are reducing the number of crashes by 40%.


Not sure why you're being downvoted for posting this...

Facts rule, and the NHTSA is one of the best in analyzing accident statistics in the world.


I agree, this is crucial information for assessing the incident. Autodrive crashes are going to be greater than zero, the important question is are they going to be less than manual driving?
