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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It really seems like scapegoating. Most of us want to live in a world with shipping and mining. They invest with our permission and encouragement. We have to take responsibility for that choice.

For me, the fear of undoing it means I eat healthier.

Should i eat 1000kcal chocolate bar for some brief pleasure? Sure why not

Should i eat 1000kcal chocolate bat for some brief pleasure, more than undoing the hour of torture? Hell naw

At the end of the day it's about practicality.

Contrast 0^0 with 0/0. Both of them are considered undefined, but the former is often defined "locally", e.g in a given textbook or article to have the value 1. That's not true for 0/0 because it's not been found to be useful.
