Sad news. She gave me a gmail invite after I begged for one on slashdot, seems like an eon ago. We corresponded off and on but unfortunately I was never able to meet her in real li…

Even assuming you are correct on all these points ASLR is still an important use case and the effective security of current 64-bit address spaces is low.

Agree Raleigh and the general Triangle area is a good one. Maybe surprising for most here but Maryland and Virginia is like this as well. We're more expensive but you can get 1-3 a…

If they borrow money to purchase the stock that's effectively what it is, a margin loan.

If anyone trades options, the IV on options expiring in March on AMD went up significantly last week with no apparent news, probably because of these guys.

Seems like the ultimate end-game here is to have mini-vms for every process using CPU-level ring protection. If you can't speculate across privilege levels, only inside them, it is…

I mean, I don't think that is what is happening right now, but you might be surprised what it takes to move a market sometimes. The Flash Crash[1] was caused by a single individual…

As of February Elon owns 22%. He and other board members/early investors are individuals so I don't see how it is weird to include them, though.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I don't think you are wrong. Possibly the misunderstanding comes from a slight technicality - markets exist because buyers and sellers like a c…

TSLA is approximately 66% owned by institutional investors(investment banks, funds of any sort(including active and index funds that may be in 401(k)s). That leaves ~30% of the sha…

That is quite interesting. I didn't think they made anywhere near that many beta Model 3s to be shipping them like that.

Model 3 or Model S? I suspect you mean Model S.

More likely to be the huge amount of plasticizers that have been making their way into our diet, imo.
