Millennials make up possibly the most well-educated American generation ever.
Most millennials can't change a tire. Most millennials can't cobble together a few sentences of basic, grammatically-correct English. Most millennials can't plan and stick to a budget. Most millennials can't understand basic algebra or geometry.
They may be spending more time in school. They're not coming out "well-educated". I see college students at major universities struggling with shit they should have learned in middle school.
I have no clue what #3 is, but the others listed are all selling on cassettes as a novelty that ties into the retro music (and character) / setting of the corresponding movie / show.
That's not how single events are interpreted in science. It's generally assumed the odds are more likely when you see a single event that that event is common.
He's "blathering" about the obvious fact the using Lightning is no different than trading in ETH for SomeShitCoin on Ethereum.
It's a fucking scam riding on top of Bitcoin, with the full backing and support of "trust us". You give them your Bitcoin, and you get a credit in Lightning. You have to fully trust those clowns and all the clowns using Lightning, and trust that you'll get your BTC back before Lightning goes tits up. That's all ON TOP of having to trust BTC. (Though the simple fact is BTC is essentially unassailable.)
Dude, Dalvik is gone and has been for a long time. It's Android Runtime now, or ART. It's toooooooooootally not just Dalvik with a name change so Google can try to ditch its reputation.
1: What is the waste you refer to? Why is it a problem? (Hint: It's not really a problem, and can be re-purposed if idiots like you weren't spewing FUD).
2: Most of the cost is for building and decommissioning is due to unnecessary red tape. (No, I'm not saying to get rid of all regulations. Just the bulk of them as they are pointless.)
3: Modern reactors basically cannot have the catastrophic failures that a handful of reactors in all of history have experienced.
Are you kidding? It's not 2009 anymore - why are you downloading torrents? I will admit that Kodi isn't quite as seamless as Netflix, but the options are far superior.
Uh, torrents mean you get a proper, clean, high quality rip/encode. Kodi plugins mean you connect to some source 8000 miles away, that may or may not be up, that may or not be decent quality, that may or may not be fast enough to actually watch the thing. Or your plugin is torrenting anyway but you just don't know it.
If you're streaming shit using a PC, I recommend installing a plugin that lets you watch shit at higher speeds. I typically watch at 1.5x or so. But you can watch at whatever speed you want. No, it doesn't ruin things. You quickly get used to it. Anything at 1x seems glacial to me now. Even at just 1.25x you save 20% of your time. There are plenty of plugins available, and they work with tons of sites.
Uh, some of us sign up for these things because it's hard to keep track of all your kids' various practices, homework assignments, and other school stuff.
Cops will just lie. Best case they force you to unlock it, find out what you're doing, then get at that from some other angle, such as an "anonymous tip". Parallel construction.
If you're not lucky, they'll beat you and force you to unlock it, then it's your word against 3 seasoned cops saying you unlocked the device voluntarily then reached for one of the cops's gun.
They're incredibly fuzzy, which leads them to being easy to fool. Users can't reset their biometrics when they're compromised. And the biometrics can be used to identify an individual. You can either use a shitty biometric device that records the data directly, or compromise a trusted one to do so, thus letting you go from the "secure" element to the user. OR you can identify a suspected user (or as they tried to do in this case, a swath of them) and then force them to use biometrics to generate a hash and determine if it's a match or not.
It works because there is no way to make a perfect copy of a photon, so any part of the key that is intercepted can't also be sent to the intended destination. When part of the key is compared between both ends, it won't match, so they know not to use that key.
Seems to me the person sending the photon originally made a perfect instance of it. Further, how does the person on the receiving end know what it's supposed to look like until they get it? Hell, when you get down to it at the quantum level, how did the SENDER know precisely what they sent and when they sent it without measuring it themselves?
"Quantum" fundamentally does nothing for key distribution. You either need a separate link to negotiate and validate your quantum link, or you end up with the same key distribution schemes in regular links, but with more bullshit marketing.
And don't forget how this "quantum" tunnel actually works in practice.
We didn't get an expected signal at a certain point. Maybe they didn't send it? Maybe they didn't send it because they didn't get ours?? Better call them on the PSTN to ask. Does anyone know who we call? I think it was "Jeff" of "Jim". No, Jim retired. They don't have a replacement yet. Just call the main office and ask. Okay hold on. Let me divulge too much to a random person over an insecure line to try to explain what we're even asking about. She said I need to submit a ticket then their service team will get back to us. We can call and ask them to escalate, but only after we create the ticket.
An hour passes while they create an account in the ticket portal, try to choose something that sort of matches the issue from a crappy set of categories, eventually create a ticket, wait for an email with the ticket number to arrive, etc.
Okay, I called the ticketing desk with the ticket number and they said they'd escalate it.
The next day they get an email from Bob.
Hey guys, this is Bob. We're going to need to reset the entire quantum tunnel. Here are the keys and certs and shit you need to get it done. Email me yours, in regular non-quantum email by 9 AM tomorrow and we should be able to schedule the reset for 10 AM. Feel free to call me on my cell (123) 456-7890 around 10 just so we can both make sure it's working.
The team scrambles to figure out WTF they need to do with the shit Bob sent, and WTF they need to send back to Bob. Eventually, they get it done, and they call Bob at 9:59 AM the next day, but he's working remotely from the inside of a helicopter above an Indian night market....ight g..z... got the stuff th..s...r se..g that over...ckly. Let me...ad and do...et now.... ould ha... lights right n.... Uh, yes Bob, we currently have no lights. (That's what he said right? We should have no lights?) They just turned off. Okay, goo... t me.........d you should see... ng now. Let me..ow when......s...ng. ??? ??? ??? Still...ng, guys? ??? Uh, yeah Bob after the lights went out they came back blinking for a bit and they're still blinking. One of them just turned solid green....t sou......ood. I've got s...d green on......d. You should st.........e traffic now. ??? Yes, we're at solid green too here. (Do we have traffic? How do we know if we have traffic??) Uh, I think we're good now if you see traffic, Bob. Thanks....ks guys. Le......ow if there's any issues.
The team is now totally quantum secure, for sure! The outage obviously wasn't from someone installing a tap and repeater, and the reset process totally didn't result in the hardware redetecting the link length and recalibrating all timing-related controls. And the team has now printed out a copy of the certs and keys, both Bob's and theirs, and filed them in Joe's desk side cabinet so they could document the procedure in case it happens again. Don't worry, only Joe and two other staff have the key. And the furniture people and custodians. And the keys say "do not duplicate" on them.
They'll get paid for past work when this is all settled. But many of those people live paycheck to paycheck and are going to be in trouble before that happens. An actual shutdown (with widespread furloughs) may happen if this goes on.

Batteries should always be replaceable (ideally, by the end user).

Biometrics are trash from every angle.

No. Quantum entanglement does not violate causality. All particles / information / marketing lies still have to be transported classically, below c.
And don't forget how this "quantum" tunnel actually works in practice.

In what way is it a "has-been"?
It's still up, and it still gets all the magnet links to all the shit.
Castlevania's first "season" was pretty interesting. The second was poop.
Yeah, let's just use one cert for *.gov! It'll save so much money and effort!!
They'll get paid for past work when this is all settled. But many of those people live paycheck to paycheck and are going to be in trouble before that happens.
An actual shutdown (with widespread furloughs) may happen if this goes on.
