Elimination [of change logs] is a stupid move. It's a triumph of marketing at the cost of we who must run this shit.
(I'm going to borrow the scatological terminology, my apologies but I think serves the purpose)
Hiding the shit is absolutely no proper solution to the problem: it is going to stink anyway and also has chances to create a culture of complancency (if one doesn't see it, we can continue to live in this shit, we got used to the stench anyway).
However... the above being said, let's change a bit the perspective... if one would be looking to address the root causes of the problem (as in "Why is this shit is there in the first place?") - are you quite sure it's exclusively the marketing's fault? (yes, they may have a responsibility in creating the conditions for it - e.g. time-to-market, over-selling - but I have rarely seen a situation in which they are the only ones to blame).
BitCoin is not the first electronic payment system. No reason for patent to metion BitCoin unless it JPMorgan is going to have people mining for Morgon bucks.
If you are scared about the mining of Morgon bucks, what would you say about the rubber coins one can strech well beyond six thousand eight hundred miles along each side (even though, in principle, it's not different from stretching sub-prime mortgage-backed bonds until they break and betting they will break sooner or later)
if it offered tactile feedback instead of beaming data to a smart phone?
You know, when it goes outside of the established parameters it shocks the user...
Shocking will only worsen the stress... but, hang on... the idea is still salvageable. I'd reckon a more pleasant type of stimulation would better help in releasing endorphins and combat the adrenaline excess induced by stress. This approach may come with the advantages of:
# being adaptable outside the "bra only" range;
# may induce other type of releases - which the body will consume energy to replace.
(granted, using shocks may still work for some parts of the population enjoying alt.sex...)
And he can arrest him because he has more than a reasonable suspicion that he took something (a product or service) that didn't belong to him, without permission, and with the intention to permanently deprive the owner of it.
Man, you are talking through you nose here... it's AC current, the electrons in school's wires are still in place, not a single one is lost.
Relativity at the very fundamental limits is absolutely broken simply because it is missing huge amounts of information. (namely dark matter and energy...
Dark matter/energy are the consequence of assuming time/space being homogenous/isotropic - given that we haven't got out from the near neighborhood of the Sun (thus we haven't tested these assumption at larger scales), isn't it possible that these assumption don't hold true?
Wow, that will spoil CHRISTMAS (yeah, fuck you political-correct-hollydays-morons) for a lot of people. Or is it intention, to give a "stimulus" to the starving retailing industry??
FTFY - the Chinese economy was well enough last time I checked.
Incorrect!!! Even the old farts are without ads on the internet!

Isn't that "low light", not dark? Dark == zero photons.
No, it can be completely dark because the camera uses active ilumination ("low ilumination" but still active).
In the team’s setup, low-intensity pulses of visible laser light scan an object of interest. The laser fires a pulse at a given location until a single reflected photon is recorded by a detector; each illuminated location corresponds to a pixel in the final image.
But the AI's will be able to move. They'll be able to move very quickly, indeed.
Not in the physical sense and I reckon the the physicality would matter in granting the personhood status - inherently a "person" is an "individual" (e.g. otherwise, how can we speak of "protecting the rights of a person" if that person that could clone itself almost instantaneously accross the globe - who would one be protecting: the original or the clone(s)?).
This decision will also be used precedence by the machines to decide how humans should be treated post-singularity. Choose wisely.
Post-singularity: wait until a political correct court rules that one cannot exclude a human soul was reincarnated in an AI, thus granting personhood to the petitioning AI and making from powering it down a murder act. And, assuming the AI cannot physically move, also granting the right to a disability pension more than enough to pay for the power bills.
Look, you asked how to define the temperature in vacuum and I answered Put in a good number of assumptions and, based on them, one (with enough skill in the craft) will be able to estimate the internal temperature. Of course it will still be an estimate and nothing more (one doesn't need to ask, it's only natural that precise data could be obtained only if you have unambigous direct observation of the phenomenon - and not even then)
Other than that, yes, the black-body radiation is correct for all macroscopic bodies (be them in one piece or crumbling) - the only requirements are: that body to expose a surface, be made of enough particles to display a statistical behavior and be at thermal equilibrium. There was this guy, Plank, that put his name at stake on the correctness of it: to date, nobody ashamed him (his initial estimation of the constant was within 1.2% of the more precise value we accept today, which is quite remarcable IMHO)
Destroy the munitions in place with the proper personnel on hand to verify the destruction.
I tought that was the main point for which they took them from Syria: to stop destroying them by dumping on civilian population under army/insurgents (not sure which) supervision.
Studying doesn't reduce it. Looks like a runaway process to me. Mars-like surface to come at the end - thanx a lot. Probably not the only idiotic failure in the universe.
However, studies show an interesting fact: it is not (yet) a runaway process. TFA (at the end):
Finally, this is not the first time this region has experienced warmer temperatures. During some of the warm periods between past ice ages, it has been as warm as, or warmer than, it is today. No sudden spike in atmospheric methane shows up in climate records from those times, however. That tells us that, fortunately, it takes a pretty strong kick to awaken a methane giant.
(mind you, I'm not saying that we are out of Siberian marshes yet: the previous ace ages didn't have an industrious population of hominides willing and capable to burn fossile fuel at a massive scale. We are still in the race for that "idiotic failure" prize that you mention).
b) we already cooperate with those we used to call enemies (like russia) and we made an international space station.
But forbid cooperation with China (not formally an enemy even now) in spite of the other participants in ISS agreeing to it.
d) china steals all their technology
It doesn't need to. China cooperates with the same partners as US (probably with the exception of Japan). And them some others - e.g. Brazil closer to Equator, better suited for space launches.
we invent it.
Wrong tense. NASA's budget in decline drives NASA in the role of a museum custodian rather than a science/technology promoter.

The referenced source file has no actual implementation of the encryption in it, so claiming 100 lines is a bit silly...
Yeap. The rest is in about 200 lines of code.

With or without a woman present?
This pops into my mind a new sense for "frigid woman", one that I'm pretty sure I dislike more than the common one.

That seems a good example of entanglement (quantum or not) weirdness.

In that room there's no sound, at all...
So? Make some, its not like that they filled that chamber with a gas that you can breathe but it's soundproof.
Beat that with the this chorus (transcranial hearing).

How do they define temperature? The show happens in vacuum, there is no thermal agitation.
Not quite vacuum but even if it would be so: black-body radiation is a measure of temperature for radiative-only cases.
Destroy the munitions in place with the proper personnel on hand to verify the destruction.

Will they plant their flag right next to the U.S. flag?
Nope - the US congress to take care of that.
