Nobody at Microsoft ever got fired for erring on the side of hemorrhagic fever.

The mere contemplation of insufficient virulence, however, causes Microsoft employees to suffer a nervous, liquid fly incident.

They can't help it. It's simply in their DNA.

The US, the country that sat out the whole conflict until Daesh started committing genocide

From the Global Intelligence Files in 2011, about the US financing anyone available to fight against Assad (read terrorists/"rebels"), and being interested in a big humanitarian disaster. Quotes from the e-mail:

they said without saying that SOF teams (presumably from US, UK, France, Jordan, Turkey) are already on the ground focused on recce missions and training opposition forces. One Air Force intel guy (US) said very carefully that there isn't much of a Free Syrian Army to train right now anyway

So there were no rebels to train, but they were there and training them anyway.

the idea 'hypothetically' is to commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns, try to break the back of the Alawite forces, elicit collapse from within

They dont believe air intervention would happen unless there was enough media attention on a massacre, like the Ghadafi move against Benghazi. They think the US would have a high tolerance for killings as long as it doesn't reach that very public stage.

Also, there is a very interesting interview with the former head of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency):
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL (for some reason, I only get the "an error occurred" message, so here is a link to the most important part: Former DIA Head Concedes US Deliberately Backed Extremists in Syria).

They are discussing a 2012 report by the DIA informing that by supporting terrorists, the US would end up supporting Daesh during the interview. Here is the DIA report, heavily redacted (it's just three pages out of seven pages).
You should at least watch the 5 minutes video before saying that the US sat on the conflict again.

Get The Fuck Out with your "Environmentalists saved us bullshit". You presume that reasonable people, not batshit crazy like your average Envirowacko, do not want clean air and water. You also presume that industrialists don't breath the air or drink the water.

Clean Air laws and pollution controls were inevitable and would have followed the same time lines. But it would have happened with far less shrieking and asshattery of the unbathed and uneducated hippies

Feynman said that a good physicist has half a dozen different models for the same phenomena because different models inspire different ideas. To the best of my knowledge there are no atoms inside a black hole. A black hole is just the gravitational field, the atoms themselves have been "spaghettified". Quantum mechanics says a singularity cannot exist due to the uncertainty principle. Feynman also said that nobody really understands this stuff but if you pick the right model for the right situation, the math works and the observations are robust.

I listen to some of the same weirdos as you do, you might like Fay Dowker. A student of Hawking talking about "causal networks", interesting stuff.

This sounds so incredibly dangerous.
Are the computer models even safe?
I wonder if these equations are even safe for chalkboards.
If we manage to glimpse a 'naked singularity' Mother Nature will start locking the bathroom door.

Since nobody has come up with a final solution to the waste problem, the costs are infinite.

Could I say, "Until we come up with a solution to the wind-doesn't-blow-all-the-time problem or the ice-storms-can-fuck-em-up-completely problem... the costs are infinite?

Half of the 'final solution' is to fast-burn all the old waste and make energy from it.
The waste will sit there patiently until we can do this.
The other half of the 'final solution' is a new generation of reactors that do not generate long-lived waste.
The basic concept for this was developed 60 years ago by Weinberg.
In the world I live in we consider these to be problems to solve.
What kind of world do you live in??

Discussing energy topics in these forums is beginning to feel like trying to explain to Elmo why he can't have Christmas every day . "But Santa Claus, Elmo wants Christmas every day! Santa gave Elmo three wishes. They're Elmo's wishes! And Elmo wished for Christmas every day!" Elmo wished for wind and solar power, he thinks the storage problem will solve itself with GrapheneOrSomethingSomehow(tm), Elmo thinks fusion is tomorrow, Elmo wants hydropower in Arizona, Elmo wants to place an iron cap over Yellowstone.

And Elmo hates nuclear energy --- because his parents hate it --- or because they don't. Elmo has not researched the matter.

I've heard that you can concentrate, extract, and use actinides in what we currently consider spent fuel. How, physically, is that done?

Take a look at this collection of slides by Gus Merwin. You'll find some of your better search terms like there like 'transmutation' (better add 'nuclear' or you might slide into the occult). And an good overview of processing methods and current spent inventories.

When you have long-lived actinides in your spent fuel --- the battle to keep costs down or make energy from them in today's thermal spectrum reactors has already been lost. We've known this all along, it's one of the little reasons the US invested heavily in fast breeders, weapons production being the big reason. Current methods involve separating out plutonium and unburnt uranium into MOX (mixed oxide) fuel for re-use, which reduces most waste volume but the actinides are still there. To deal with them completely you need to hit them with 'fast' neutrons from a fission breeder, maybe making energy while doing so --- splitting them into even nastier (but short lived) or final inert products. You can wind up with something that's walk-away safe in, say, 40 years. The atom stewards of the Cold War said, "Yeah it's a problem. Fast breeders will solve it." Then fast breeders in the US started to shut down after a few years of making weapons, they never got around to burning commercial waste. They said, "Yeah it's a problem. Underground storage will solve it." Then the US Gub'mint failed to deliver on that promise too.

The best way to manage long-lived actinides is to manage not to produce them in the first place. Alvin Weinberg knew this in the 1950s and ultimately sacrificed the remainder of his career in an attempt to convince others this was the way. Weinberg's basic design for a two-fluid LFTR which breeds uranium from thorium and actively processes its fluid to keep long-lived actinides from forming is still the most exciting and viable option for a nuclear future in the opinion of myself and many others. Almost 100% burn in the thermal spectrum, and an extremely small waste volume that is walk-away safe in ~300 years.

In the first place, it is hard to avoid the impression that many anti-nuclear campaigners do not have a firm grasp of the scientific facts and figures. Rather, they have a powerful feeling of impending doom: they somehow feel that radiation is unseen, deadly, and threatening, and therefore must be banned. But whatever the means of generation, power sufficient to run modern cities and nations is capable of immense harm. Consider Buncefield, for example: http://io9.gizmodo.com/5899376... Or even the danger of a relatively modest amount of fertilizer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

As for the future potential of nuclear power, the WAMSR seems promising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Failsafe, and uses existing nuclear waste as fuel! It's estimated that WAMSRs could provide the whole world with all the power it needs for 80 years, just using today's stocks of waste. And at the end of that time, the waste would be gone.

For the longer term, the recent German and Chinese breakthroughs in fusion are very promising. It's quite fallacious to assume that, just because people have tried to do something for many years and failed, it cannot be done. Consider for how many years men tried to fly - and then, 110 years or so ago, they succeeded.

Not to mention the closing of plants and the unending delays imposed on new ones by lawsuits and the like.

Here's more like what the Solar vs Nuclear contest is like.

Hint: Solar is the guy with the beard.

Scratching my head here. What's the conclusion to be drawn, from these experiments?

It's evidence on a very specific level, the microbes somehow helping to regulate the length of intestinal villi. We've pretty well established how mammal bodies release stored fat as needed, but the mechanisms that regulate its intake are not as well understood.

So the interesting question becomes, why are we seeing evidence of a 'system' that is capable of actively regulating villi length rather a simple observation like mere presence of 'germ' x results in y. Stated another way, we're seeing evidence of ongoing symbiosis rather than an evolutionary result. Perhaps Akkermansia muciniphila functions as the Winter fat-storage inhibitor and there is significant evolutionary advantage to thinning out in the Spring --- even if the price is reduced nutritional uptake. This is (slightly) counter-intuitive because we are used to thinking of food uptake as something that has been constantly perfected over time (eg more is always better).

Perhaps the article reads a little strange because it involves temperature YET and there is the complete absence of a politically motivated guilt zinger woven into its presentation. But watch the headlines, I'm sure some will bite, viz:

CLIMATE CHANGE INTERFERING WITH NATURE'S FAT STORAGE MECHANISM?
AMID CLIMATE FEARS, THERE MAY BE THIN HOT RATS IN OUR FUTURE

Just to be clear, you do know that President Obama ordered the assasination of an American citizen who was outside the arena of war, yes?
And you do know that the his cited legal authority was a secret law (a memo, actually) that the public couldn't access at the time, right?
And his 16-year old son, also a US citizen and with no connection to terrorism, was killed 2 weeks later by a separate drone strike. In a country we were not at war with, in an outdoor restaurant, killing 8 others as well.
And you do know that all this happened without trial, and without the victim having a chance to defend himself against charges, right?

Lets peel this apart.

Anwal al Awlaki wasn't "outside the arena of war," he was in an al Qaida controlled area of Yemen. He wasn't "assassinated," he was killed. He was a senior member of al Qaida who was active in recruiting, operations, and propaganda. His involvement was directly tied to a number of attacks, including the massacre at Fort Hood. There is little mystery about his killing or its legal basis, he was killed in armed conflict against the United States as a member of the enemy forces. Armed action by the US Armed Forces against al Qaida and its allies and affiliates has been authorized by Congress through the Authorization for Use of Military Force passed after 9/11. There was no need for a trial to do this as it was a military strike against the enemy under the Law of Armed Conflict, not a law enforcement action involving criminal justice. Americans that join with the enemy to fight with them are treated like the rest of the enemy forces and are subject to being captured or killed just like them. If he wanted to face criminal justice he could have surrendered at the US embassy, which he didn't do, and showed no intention of doing.

As I recall his son regrettably made a similar bad choice having sworn his allegiance to al Qaida not long before this death. He was killed in the company of another senior al Qaida official. The son was old enough to carry a weapon, or a suicide vest. What kind of a father would bring his son in al Qaida's lair if he wanted him to live?

There should be no weeping for father who was a murderous terrorist bastard, and little for the son.

The currently best reproduction of the original Star Wars trilogy is a fan edit compiled by Harmy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
http://originaltrilogy.com/top...
https://docs.google.com/docume...

This is a reconstruction of the 1977 theatrical version of STAR WARS. The original shots were painstakingly restored using various sources (listed below) and the film received an extensive shot by shot colour correction based on a fade free 1977 I.B. Technicolor Print.

This fan edit is compiled from many sources, including an earlier scan by Team Negative1, the group this article is also about.

VIDEO SOURCES:
        STAR WARS Episode IV A New Hope Official Blu-Ray 2011 (Preliminary colour correction by You_Too)
        STAR WARS 2006 Bonus DVD (sourced from the 1993 Definitive Edition Laser Disc Master - upscales by Dark Jedi, You_Too and Harmy)
        Star.Wars.Episode.IV.A.New.Hope.1977.720p.HDTV.x264-DON (2004 DVD Version)
        STAR WARS 1997 Special Edition (Reivax DTV capture)
        Custom mattes, 35mm and 70mm film cell scans etc.
        Team Negative1 35mm LPP print scan of the Mos Eisley sequence
        Puggo Grande (1977 16mm print transfer)

Harmy has since released restored edits of Episode V and VI as 720p MKV.
The MKVs also include many subtitles and alternative audio tracks.
It is currently the definite edition of the original trilogy.

Most other violent socialist factions "just" slaughter people who disagree with the new government.

There are three informative works that are worth looking into, or at least to be aware of.

The first is the documentary The Soviet Story. (on demand) Its creation was supported by a committee of the European Parliament, among others. Review is below, and here is a trailer. I suggest watching the entire documentary some time.

Telling the Soviet story - A new film about Nazi-Soviet links

The film is gripping, audacious and uncompromising. Though it starts by telling the story of the murder of 7m Ukrainians in 1933, it is no mere catalogue of atrocities. The main aim of the film is to show the close connections—philosophical, political and organisational—between the Nazi and Soviet systems.

As Françoise Thom (one of many anti-communist luminaries appearing in the film) puts it: “Nazism was based on false biology; Marxism was based on false sociology”. The Marxist dream of the “new man”, for example, mirrored the Nazi idea of racial superiority. The Nazis murdered chiefly on racial grounds, while the Soviets concentrated on class. But mass murder is mass murder

Those who keep a soft spot for Marxism may flinch to hear that the sage of Highgate referred to backward societies as Völkerabfälle (racial trash) who must “perish in the revolutionary holocaust”. Or that the Nazi party in its early days idolised Lenin (Josef Goebbels said he was second only to Adolf Hitler in greatness).

Perhaps the best sequence in the film shows pairs of posters using almost identical designs: muscular workers strike heroic attitudes in support of the party and the state, blonde little girls beam, fists smash enemies, hammers break chains. Without the swastika and hammer and sickle as clues, it would be hard to know which is which.

The illustration of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is compelling: Soviet radio transmitters guided German bombers in their attacks on Poland. A Soviet naval base near Murmansk helped the Nazi attack on Norway. The Soviet secret police helped train the Gestapo and discussed how to deal with the “Jewish question” in occupied Poland. . . . Read the whole thing

The second work is, The Black Book of Communism
There are multiple reviews at the link for the book, but this is also informative: So, how many did Communism kill?

The third work is this book: Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change

We find in it a great deal of history that people would like us to forget, including how fascism was admired by many, how progressives influenced and were influenced by fascist movements in Europe, and how common threads of ideas and values continue to influence events today.

And since we have a self-described socialist running for office:

In the 1960s there was a garage band called The Barbarians. Their drummer only had one hand, but he held the drumsticks on the other side using a two-finger hook.

It may have been billed purely as "Star Wars" but I can remember being puzzled as I sat in the cinema over the fact that the scrolling text at the start was titled "Episode IV: A New Hope".

If you sat in the cinema in 1977 you're remembering wrong.

From the OP: "We're not creating this for [illegal activity]. And OK, maybe it's being used for that, but that's not what we're about!"

What, no Danger Zone ?

I simply assumed the glasses were shit, and stopped using that type of glass after they all broke. It's the same principle behind never using perl.

Didn't read past that. That wouldn't get you to six, it would get you to one or two and then you'd throw away the rest. There would be no reason to wash the remaining one using the same technique that was proven flawed for that unit; deciding the units were all crap would underscore that, not eliminate it.

BTW, welcome to slashdot. No, we don't click video links. This is a place for stuff that matters, not stuff too vapid to write down.

I encrypt things by default just because it's fun, and to keep thieves from accessing my search history by putting my HDD into a Linux machine. Thieves and identity theft are huge problems. It just so happens that the state has done nothing about thieves nor identity theft. So, I can't just trust that the police and government will protect me.

I use encryption for the same reason I own a gun. It is the citizen's duty to protect their own lives and property. Congress and the Supreme Court have numerously times ruled that the police have no duty to protect anyone. They are only there to enforce the law against people who the state deems has broken a law.

Foreign "intelligence" Agencies want the same info from me that the mobsters and petty identity thieves in Russia, China, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Germany, Japan, etc. all want. If you want me to have no defenses from common criminals, then you had better first provide me some bullet proof security. Instead the NSA and FBI buy exploits on the black market -- rather than develop them themselves, they help create a market of illegal exploits. Rather than notifying affected vendors they deploy the exploits. Guess what bad guys do? The catch the exploits coming across the wire for free, and then THEY use the same shit the nation states use.

I can't tell if it's the NSA, a mobster, or the hateful SJW degenerate next door, with all the tatoos and STDs, threatening to "dox" my financials with script-kiddie malware they bought just because I have wrongthink. It doesn't matter: The only answer is encryption. And anyone who has ever lived through a regime change knows that you might be able to trust the government now, but the government might round you up and murder you by the thousands as dissenters if the place gets violently overthrown. The state can provide no permanent security. They don't care about doing so, and only actively undermine our constitutional protections.

So, this is why we need encryption: The Bolshevik revolution was over 80% administrated by Jews, and they killed between 12 and 20 million Christians alone, the communists then went on to do psychological warfare to dissidents. The wikipedia page used to say that the FBI also practiced this same thing today, but now it doesn't... Now those same sorts of people who we fought, sacrificed and died to defend ourselves against make up half of our politics. If you ask me, the government may have already been overthrown. How would we know?

Encrypt or die. I don't give a fuck about terrorists. I can't tell them from KKK members or indoctrinated SJWs anymore.

I can inform you right now that your hot water heater is not adjusted to specification, and you failed to expect to need to adjust your washing technique to mitigate that.

You seem to have not noticed it didn't burn my hands.

the nuclear containment building is not a viable metaphor for the type of code mitigation strategies you describe.

It limits the scope of damage without preventing the actual precipitating event. C buffer overflows no longer allow remote code execution, but rather cause denial of service. With privilege separation strategies, you use a non-privileged daemon to sendmsg() a file handle (e.g. TCP connection) to a privileged daemon, which forks off and chroot()s a non-privileged daemon, which then interprets the data, then uses sendmsg() to send the connection and instructions to a privileged daemon, which then switches to the appropriate user, and suddenly sshd is never interpreting a login event as a privileged user. With sandbox strategies, you might do the same, chroot()ing a worker and then using sendmsg() to give it a connection, exchanging processed data with it. Either way, hack these things and you get ... nothing useful. Even in an exploit condition, the damage is contained.

We built a lot of crap around things that could break, and they only break that bad. They break *really* *bad* when they break, but we put a wall around them and so they're contained.

And python code does not have less bugs, that is an inanity with a known value.

Python code doesn't have the same number of remote code execution bugs as C code. It has distinctly fewer remote code execution bugs per thousand lines of code. This is because causing remote code execution in Python is really freaking hard, since you don't spend a whole hell of a lot of time directly manipulating pointers to fixed-size memory areas or doing *anything* *else* that can affect program execution flow outside the boundaries of intent.

It has other, less-important bugs.
