A massive outage blacked out Argentina and Uruguay Sunday, leaving both South American countries without electricity, power companies said. Uruguay’s system went down at 7:06 am, according to the Uruguayan power company UTE, which attributed the outage to “a fault in the Argentine network.” “A massive failure in the electrical interconnection system left all Argentina and Uruguay without power,” Edesur Argentina said on Twitter.

Do you want to check the efficiency of the new, state of the art, GraalVM JIT Compiler in comparison to the old but mostly used JIT C2? The talk reveals how traditional Just In Time Compiler (e.g. JIT C2) from HotSpot/OpenJDK internally manages runtime optimizations for hot methods in comparison to the new, state of the art, GraalVM JIT Compiler on the same source code, emphasizing all of the internals and strategies used by each Compiler to achieve better performance in most common situations (or code patterns). For each optimization, there is Java source code and corresponding generated assembly code in order to prove what really happens under the hood.

Now, researchers are unveiling a new attack that uses Rowhammer to extract cryptographic keys or other secrets stored in vulnerable DRAM modules. Besides opening a previously unknown side channel that allows attackers to deduce sensitive data, the attack also introduces new ways unprivileged exploit code can cause cryptographic keys or other secret data to load into the select DRAM rows that are susceptible to extraction. By combining the memory massaging techniques with this new side-channel attack, the researchers—from the University of Michigan, Graz University of Technology, and the University of Adelaide and Data61—were able to extract an RSA 2048-bit signing key from an OpenSSH server using only user-level permissions.

unsigned int i = 0;
unsigned int j = 0;

/* this loops clears the screen
* there are 25 lines each of 80 columns; each element takes 2 bytes */
while(j 80 * 25 * 2) {
/* blank character */
vidptr[j] = ‘ ‘;
/* attribute-byte – light grey on black screen */
vidptr[j+1] = 0x07;
j = j + 2;
}

j = 0;

/* this loop writes the string to video memory */
while(str[j] ! = ‘\0’) {
/* the character’s ascii */
vidptr[i] = str[j];
/* attribute-byte: give character black bg and light grey fg */
vidptr[i+1] = 0x07;
++j;
i = i + 2;
}
return;
}
All our kernel will do is clear the screen and write to it the string “my first kernel”. To print the character s in green color on black background, we will store the character s in the first byte of the video memory address and the value 0x02 in the second byte.

Nokes and several other children eventually named 27 different victims of this supposed Satanic cult; when it turned out that two people on the list were still alive, and a third had died during surgery, officials were undeterred; they assumed instead that the children had been brainwashed and instructed to recount false memories to throw authorities off the trail of the true story. Judy Johnson, the accuser at the heart of the McMartin case, began leaving increasingly bizarre answering machine messages for the L.A. County investigators, relating her son Matthew’s stories of a “goatman,” accusing daycare worker, Peggy McMartin, of power-drilling “a child under the arms, armpits.” Bob Currie, a parent of one of the McMartin children who devoted his life to ferreting out Satanic ritual abuse, would later state on Geraldo:

When the children started talking, they started talking about robes and candles.

In 2014, Penn Jillette — the tall half of the popular Penn and Teller magic act — couldn’t walk up stairs and got winded speaking full sentences. avoided surgery by making a radical change to his eating habits and losing 105 pounds in just three months, a journey he chronicled in his bestselling 2017 book, “Presto! Yep.We caught up with Jillette, 65, in Las Vegas, and spoke to him about his health secrets:My first tip is this: “If you take health advice from a Las Vegas magician, you are an idiot.”

At some point after living in Istanbul for many years, I came to find it strange that every time there was a financial crisis in the country, foreign newspapers dispatched a reporter to the Grand Bazaar to interview shopkeepers and idling shoppers about the state of their wallets. What did this bazaar, this 550-year-old Ottoman shopping mall sagging beneath its own history, located in between tired touristic bauble shops and bad köfte restaurants in the old city of Istanbul, possibly have to tell us about Turkey in the twenty-first century? Turkey’s cities have also expanded tenfold—Istanbul is roughly four times London’s physical size—and bazaars and pedestrianized shopping streets now serve every neighborhood, each of them microcities with their own microeconomies, their own bakkal (corner shop) and manav (greengrocer) and kasap (butcher), which are as faithfully patronized as they would have been a century ago.

The average person eats at least 50,000 particles of microplastic a year and breathes in a similar quantity, according to the first study to estimate human ingestion of plastic pollution. The new research, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, took the data from 26 previous studies that measure the amounts of microplastic particles in fish, shellfish, sugar, salt, beer and water, as well as in the air in cities. Stephanie Wright, at King’s College London, who was not involved in the research, said: “These current estimates suggest microplastic exposure is relatively low compared to other particles.

Many copyleft licenses, including most of the Free Software Foundation’s GPL family, the Mozilla Public License, and the Eclipse Public License, require sharing alike only if you first share your work with others. Many companies that primarily build software services that they run for customers to use, without sharing any source code, have taken false comfort in the idea that they’ll never distribute copies of their programs with others, and used a lot of copyleft code. Depending on who you ask, allowing private changes and limiting copyleft to “distributed” code is either ethically imperative or a hindrance to effectively requiring others, especially software service developers, to share their work as intended.
