What is the difference between x86 and X86?

stoy ,

I see I got confused as he capitalized the X in the middle of the first sentence as well and thought I had missed something

stoy ,

That is probably it, I just wanted to check if there was something new happening

stoy ,

No, the data is not physical, it is either magnetic or electric.

Since most people still store their media on hard drives most media is purely magnetic.

In a solid state drive storage chip the data is stored electronicly.

It is a pendulum, here in Sweden I know many people feeling disillusioned by the social democrats, combine that with ineffectual meassures against gang violence (often perpetuated by second generation migrant), where the perpetrators don't care about punnishment as it is quite mild.

Add to that that we have seen gangs and clans infiltrating the government at different levels, a few months ago two big news broke, one was that an employee at a court had let her criminal boyfriend sit at her computer using her access to go through classified documents, the other was that a student at the police academy had very close ties to gangs, to the point that it is assumed that they were tasked by the gang to join the police force and be a man on the inside.

Then we recently had a soldier who left his Ak5 complete with all parts in his car, against all regulations, when he was eating lunch, the car just happened to be burgled and the Ak5 rifle as well as a set of body armor was stolen.

It is assumed by most people that this was organized ahead of time, military vehicles have special number plates and are easily recognized, so he probably got paid to do this by a gang.

Then we have the dad who got shot a killed after asking a group of what was gabg members to behave as he was taking his son to the public pool, snd an altercation started, the dad was shot in the head and his 12 year old son called the police.

We also have some less recent major issues that had contributed to the rise of the right.

Incidents where young men from migrant families have been harrasing and even feeling up women, commonly at public pools.

Combine that with severe religious differences and some public pools have experimented with women only bathing hours.

Most of if not all of the above points have been related to migrants.

So it isn't that odd that when the left offer what is seen as weak policies and pushes for understanding of the perpetrator and the right just says "fuck them, we gave them food, a place to live, security, healthcare and what do we get back? Gang violence, disrespect and harrasment!", that people choose the right.

In my mind we need heavier punnishment, we need containment punnishments, way longer punnishments for those who are not interested in rehab which our justice system focuses on, after two times caught they need to get an automatic 10x the time normally given. If people are not interested in being part of a working society, then I'd rather they stay locked up.

stoy ,

I get what you are saying, but we allready have a prison system focusing on rehabilitation, and it doesn't phase the gangs.

By increasing the length of prison sentences, we atleast keep them contained for longer.

If you have any other suggestion, please go ahead and tell me.

stoy ,

Thank you, to be honest I have no idea if this would work, but it would keep these guy off the streets for far longer.

We give people a lot of chances here, but in the end, why keep doing it if they are not interested in rehabilitating themselves?

Sweden and Scandinavia as a whole put focus on rehab in prisons, so they get that, prison punnishment is meant to just be the incarseration, not the day to day life, that is supposed to be as normal as possible.

That is great! The problem happens when people just see it as a vacation, and refuse to learn.

Then I don't know what more to do other than making them uncomfortable for longer.

stoy ,

I never said that harser was the only way forward, I am all for preventative meassures

stoy ,

I have no exact knowledge about why the gabgs appeared in Sweden, best I can say is the extreme culture clash between migrants and Swedes making them feel like outsiders.

Sweden in an extreme country with an extreme culture, where as other countries are far, far more religious and family oriented, we are far more individual and have a deeper connection to the government.

This is quite foreign to mugrants who have trouble understanding us, which makes them push further back against it.

To be clear, the main issue is the culture clash between Sweden and migrants from the middle east, we have a VERY different culture and relationship with the government.

The main issue as I see it is that Swedish culture is quite passive agressive, and we have not enforced our culture norms hard enough that they integrated into our society as well as possible, now people have talked about how we Swedes need to integrate ourselves into the migrant population.

This is why the right is on the rise in Sweden

...again

European here, this is just wrong, I don't use WhatsApp, nor does my friends or family

Nuclear waste is a solved problem, it is contained to a tiny physical object, all we gotta do is dig a hole, put the object into the hole, and cover it up.

We pretend that it is way harder than it is.

I live in a suburb north of Stockholm in Sweden, and I'd support the government building a large underground permanent storage of nuclear waste from all over the world (for a fee) in my suburb, we have the best ground for permanent storage in Scandinavia, we would earn money, create jobs and make the world safer.

stoy ,

An idea I have thought about, nuclear boosted geothermal power.

Geothermal power normally just use a simple borehole with a hose going down and then up again, coolant goes in the hole, gets heated up a few degrees and the can then be processed to heat a house.

What if we could run tubes near the nuclear waste that will keep producing heat for thousands of years?

stoy ,

Scandinavia is geographically stable and has been politically stable for a long time, I can think of no better place for a global nuclear waste storage facility.

Meteors is just s dumb risk to consider in this case, any meteor capable of breaching an underground nuclear waste will cause far worse problems than the nuclear material will.

The baltic isn't that tidal either, so tidal waves can be disregarded.

Earthquakes have happened here, but they are few and far between.

I recommend that you watch the BBC Horizon Documentary "Nuclear Nightmares" that talks about our fear of radiation.

stoy , (edited )

Because we need the baseload, even a huge wind or solar farm can provide the stable baseload.

In my first comment, I suggested that we would build a facility large enough to handle global nuclear waste.

stoy ,

I feel the exact way about you in this thread.

stoy ,

Which crisis is the most important to manage in the short term.

Climate change, nuclear power gives us a huge tool to deal with it by shutting down fossil furl plants.

If we fail the climate change, the nuclear waste will be a tiny problem to deal with.

With nuclear power we at least give people a problem they can deal with, climate change is far, far worse.

The ammount of radioactive waste is tiny relative to normal dumps, and as described before, it is easy to deal with, dig a deep hole, put the waste in it, refill it.

Boom problem solved.

CO2 from fossil plats will keep up climate change for centuries.

stoy ,

I am very confused now, you link to articles talking about storage pool issues, but I never mentioned storage pools.

I am talking about what they are doing in Finland.

They have drilled a very deep hole in the bedrock, built vaults where they will put cey casks of nuclear waste, then they will backfill the hole and tunnels with clay.

This is how you do it.

No one considers a storage pool as permanent storage.

stoy ,

Since the start of this thread I have been advocating for building a facility here in Scandinavia to permanently store all nuclear waste globally.

At least TRY to read my posts before whining uselessly!

stoy ,

No, it is the truth

stoy ,

Sigh, we know EXACTLY what to do with it.

Dig a deep hole into the bedrock, put the waste in dry casks, put the casks in the hole, backfill with clay.

This has been known for decades!

I live in a suburb north of Stockholm in Sweden, here in Scandinavia we have a very stable bedrock, I would absolutely welcome a disposal site for nuclear waste in my suburb, and I am talking about a site that would accept waste from all over the world (for a fee obviously).

It would be simple, create jobs, and allow us to keep using nuclear power to allow for quicker removal of fossil power plants.

As for Chernobyl, TMI and Fukashima, Chernobyl was a bad design which was run by people who lacked access to information about past nuclear accidents, leading to bad management, TMI had a fail deadly indicator system, where a broken light bulb caused incorrect information to be acted on, and Fukashima was built in a bad location.

I recommend you to watch this 2006 BBC Horizon documentary, it is called Nuclear Nightmares and talks about our fear of radiation, and weather or not it is warranted:

A large coal power plant needs at least 10000 tons of coal every day according to Wikipedia.

A nuclear plant needs about 25 tons per year.

That is a huge, massive difference in logistics, pollution and use of resources, that is not even getting into the coal ash that is produced by cosl plants, according to the EPA, nearly 130 million tons of coal ash was generated in the US by coal power plants. None was generated by nuclear power plants.

Please watch the documentary, it is a few years old, but the premise still holds.

He is a dick, who used to be important for wikileaks but has kept tergeting specific angles for his leaks, which seems to indicate pushing a political agenda, which reduces trust in him and his platform.

The work he started is too important to leave in his care.

Example: During the DNC email leak, Wikileaks was clearly in a rush to publish the documents without removing credit card information and social security numbers, this is just sloppy.

Assange also worked to draw out the release of documents to increase Wikileaks publicity, this went on far enough that he publicly made announcements of releases that never came.

Wikileaks also published evidence that the DNC was behind the killing of Seth Rich, a DC staffer that Assange alluded to have given him the emails, this evidence came from a PI who has freely admitted not having seen any emails between Wikileaks and Seth not having seen the laptop containing the emails, or even having spoken with someone who had. The PI in question is a known FOX contributer.

Assange also seems to have weirdly close ties to Russia, he only had his morning talkshow broadcast on RT, supposedly they were the only ones to take up his show for syndication.

When he was first exiled, he requested that the Russian security service FSB should handle his security detail.

Today, the largest sponsor of Wikileaks is the Russian Government.

All of this speaks to Wikileaks not being the supreme beacon of free speach, but rather part of the Russian propaganda machine.

I don't think it started this way, Assange and Wikileaks probably started with the best of intentions, but the reality of our society came into play and Assange/Wikileaks sold thier credibillity for money from the Russian government.

stoy ,

Nothing, I did not realize that was required to have an oppinion.

stoy ,

Oh, absolutely!

I get why they accepted the money, but they doesn't seem to have accepted the consequences yet.

And I don't have an answer as to how to solve the issue.

We need an organization like Wikileaks, but no one will want to fund it, as they don't want their skeletons out of the closet.

The only way I could see it working would be if someone inherits shitload of money, and funds the organization directly, else there are allways conflicts of interests.

stoy ,

Ok, then don't give a shit.

stoy ,

Who wrote an essay complaining?

Who contributed to the discussion?

FTFY

stoy ,

Neither have you, what's your point?

stoy ,

I did buy a 100-400mm telezoom lens for my Lumix S5, I can expose some fantastic photos of planes, animals and similar stuff...

stoy ,

The point is that he had/has an interest in keeping Russia happy, that means that everything WL has published since taking Russia's money is probably only to the detriment of the west.

That doesn't mean that WL publishes false/fake information, however true propaganda is still propaganda and serves a political agenda.

By allying themselves with Russia, WL has made it clear that they are only really focusing on the west's transgressions, and will mostly ignore Russia's.

They are no longer impartial activists, they have taken sides, but still claim to be impartial.

That is the issue

The coolest thing about electric trains is that for all normal usecases, they have an infinite fuel tank.

stoy ,

The battwry isn't used to propell the train in a normal electric train

stoy ,

So they are making a bangmaid?

Open source is too far, but as part of a shutdown of a game and it's servers there should be a year long period where the publisher is required to release the game without DRM, including the server software, to all customers.

I could see it going through Steam, you get a message "Delistment notification: The Crew is being delisted, get your permanent copy now!"

stoy ,

I get what you mean but that is not feasable, however, if we look back at the old multiplayer experience like in Unreal Tournament 2004, the company runs a master server, and the community runs the game servers.

The master server just lists the game servers and allows for a server browser. That is WAY less resource intensive and can be run almost indeffinately.

The master server for UT2004 ran continously for almost 20 years, and when Epic announce it was shutting down, a fan server was created and after a quick edit of the config file you can play UT2004 multiplayer exactly like it was in the past.

So let's go back to that model of multiplayer, it requires a bit of skill to set up your own server securely, but you'll have way more choice and less commitment of resources from the publisher making it available for longer at less cost.

This could be a severe national security problem if the drones sent back the video to DJI as well, then a foreign power would get geotagged high detail video of areas of the part of SF you flew over, VERY useful to a foreign intelligence service.

And I am not just talking about your drone and your flight, all other people who own and fly drones in the area would also supply data to sutch a system.

I am not saying that this is what they are doing, but please remember that the Brittish government asked the public to send in their holliday photos of the coast of France to help them plan the D-Day invasions. This kind of information is useful.

stoy ,

My point is that you don't know what data a foreign government will find usefull.

Satellites are fantastic spying tools, but drones provide a different viewpoint that is far more useful for gathering data that satellites can't.

stoy ,

I never spoke about realism, I just countered the comment saying that all they filmed was sailing boats in SF, by remonding them that even innocent looking footage can be used by foreign intelligence.

I even specifically noted that I don't think they are sending the video footage from a drone back to DJI, I say that purely thinking about the ammount of data needed to be sent.

It would have been discovered very quickly if that was the case

stoy ,

That is exactly what I am saying, as I have sid in other comments, my previous comment was never about is they did it, but rather to explain that even innocent footage is useful to bad guys.

stoy OP ,

The theme?

stoy ,

iPhone user here, that is...

...quite accurate actually.

I have used Android and even tried to switch to Android a few years ago, but whenever I use Android, I can't shake the feeling that uncle Google watches whatever I do, I don't get the same feeling when I use iOS.

Weather either feeling is accurate I can't say, but I hesitate to trust an ad compny's OS over a computer company's OS.

Again, that is just a feeling, I make no claim wither way which is factually better.

stoy ,

Android users also have those, and they also do let their feelings dictate the choice of field communications device

stoy ,

So depending on your hardware, Linux Mint is not ready for the mainstream.

stoy ,

That makes you extremely unquallified to determine weather or not Linux is ready for the desktop of the mainstream computer user.

After 30 years you are very familiar with the workings of Linux, meaning you fic issues before the become a problem.

What is way more telling is having a Windows user/gamer just grabing a Linux ISO, burning it to a USB drive, booting the drive, installing the OS, installing Steam, installing games and gaming with zero issues on the first try.

stoy ,

Outlook is turning to shit with the new update, Microsoft is nerfing it hard that it is borderline unusable, it is basically just the web app.

stoy ,

Got lucky today, four guesses

stoy ,

In a few years time we will recall when Microsoft recalled Recall, but we will have to wait for a a few decades longer to get to Total Recall.

Both Android and iOS copy from eachother
