To me it seems like you are saying "just stop eating pizza" to someone trying to understand why and how the pizza is unhealthy and what is a better alternative. Clearly we have to eat something, so a bit of understanding is needed.


Some people would argue to ban pizzerias.


Okay but can I tempt you with some flatbread?

The main security boundary a modern computer upholds is web vs everything else, including protecting one webpage from another.

So I think it should be the javascript that should run on these hypothetical cores.

Though perhaps a few other operations might choose to use them as well.


Also all the TLS, SSH, Wireguard and other encryption, anything with long-persisted secret information. Everything else, even secret (like displayed OTP codes) is likely too fleeting for a snooping attack to be able to find and exfiltrate it, even if an exfiltration channel remains. Until a better exfiltration method is found, of course :-(

I think we're headed towards the future of many highly insulated computing nodes that share little if anything. Maybe they'd have a faster way to communicate, e.g. by remapping fast cache-like memory between cores, but that memory would never be uncontrollably shared the way cache lines are now.


Speculation attacks enables code running on the machine to access data it shouldn't. I don't see how that relates to your scenario.


We are increasingly moving to ID checks. Australia law just now. For all its faults it solves spam as side effect.


There are lots of random ID documents available on dark networks however.


It also makes it 100x more likely for you IDs to leak online as KYC companies are valuable targets that get hacked every month


We aren't spherical philosophers in a vacuum. We are emotional animals trying our best. This fact requires constant consideration and management lest it all come crumbling down.


Alright, so we're spherical cow-philosophers... (jk, I like your point!)


> trying our best

I strongly question this part. Most people just want comfort. More is never enough for them.


Spherical bearded philosophers. You forgot the bearded part.


Maybe you could combine it with some kind of hibernation to drastically reduce metabolism?

It's worth keeping in mind that inflation is a theoretical construct based on assumptions and formulas that may not apply for every individual or subpopulation.


>It's worth keeping in mind that inflation is a theoretical construct based on assumptions and formulas

That might be so, but it's better than people's vibes, which famously flip-flops based on whether their preferred party is in power.

>that may not apply for every individual or subpopulation

I never claimed that, but the parent comment did imply real wages have not gone up "for most people".


So, CPI adjusted it means that median people are "doing better" about $30 (also CPI adjusted) than in 1980 per week? Given all the "progress" in that time, that is just not enough, and that is what people feel. People feel they don't have the money to participate in modern life, and yeah, an extra $30 per week is definitely not enough to do that.

Also, the median stats say nothing about how people below it are doing. By definition, that is 50%, and that is also about the number of people voting for Trump, alongside your run-of-the-mill racists and fascists.


>So, CPI adjusted it means that median people are "doing better" about $30 (also CPI adjusted) than in 1980 per week?

They're actually doing about $50 better, because there was a recession in 1980. Moreover, the $50 (or $30) dollars are "1982-84 CPI Adjusted Dollars", not today's dollars. In today's dollars it would be $158.28 (or $94.97). Moreover, given most people's expectation and discussion for income increases are the raw dollar amounts (ie. not inflation adjusted), it's not a fair benchmark for real wage increases.

>By definition, that is 50%, and that is also about the number of people voting for Trump, alongside your run-of-the-mill racists and fascists.

Given how the votes are roughly 50-50, you can make the opposite argument for Harris, replacing "racists and fascists" with "college students and woke activists".


That is about $650 more per month, inflation adjusted in todays dollars, for 45 years of progress?

> Given how the votes are roughly 50-50, you can make the opposite argument for Harris, replacing "racists and fascists" with "college students and woke activists".

Yeah, that is exactly what I am saying. And it seems to bear out: In the demography of income of > 100K, democrats win, below it, Trump wins.


The goal isn't to nuke the bacteria. The goal is to deny them a growth medium which could let their population explode. Cleaning not disinfecting.

Alcogel for hands and alcoholic mouthwash are things to be sure but they aren't nearly as common.
