Not to mention, Apollo 11's computer crashed at a very inopportune moment too during landing. I do remember something about the development project for the command module's software going rather roughly.
Odd, I've had the complete opposite experience. I'm politically libertarian, but I loathe to ever admit it in public due to the connotation of them being stuck-up pricks that love to idealize the world in 'flawless' little politico-economic frameworks. And in my experiences, that stereotype is not entirely unfounded. When your first reaction is to pick a stance on something based solely on 'minimizing government', as opposed to starting from first principles or from inductive reasoning drawing on history, you've got a problem. You've got an ivory-toweritis problem. I'm libertarian because on average my own path of reasoning tends to draw me to free market solutions and socially-liberal fiscally conservative stances (which I'm not going to be arrogant enough to claim "how the world really is", that's elitist talk), but I never felt the same with my political 'peers'.
At first glance of the title, I really thought it was news for nerds. But then I was disappointed when I saw that 'dark-money network' has nothing to do with 'dark net'. Yeah, just more political gunk articles that don't belong.
A lot of generalized software are simple in theory. Until you factor in real world designs, like optimization, handling multiple platforms and architectures, maintainability, stability . . . .
Yeah, just a nobody trying to pretend to be a somebody by getting attention. And by getting attention, I mean kicking up a bunch of mud. Not even doing a good job at it either.
While I (and perhaps many other slashdotters) would love to see a tech/biz version of yahtzee, I think the target audience for the channels are more professional and business oriented.
Come to think of it, that would be pretty awesome.
Mr Kolakowski is not a shill (afaik), he's a native writer for slashdot. He does a lot of positive-note tech articles, I think that's just his style. At least what I've gathered from the slashbi channel.
Good points; I legitimately wasn't sure. But still, the energy density between coal and uranium is still incredibly immense. IIRC the practical energy extracted from fissile uranium is somewhere roughly around 1,000,000 times more than coal for the same weight. After all, coal also require energy and resource input for ore processing, building a large complex power plant, and eventually waste management. Even if it takes 500 times more energy to process uranium ore and waste (factoring in extra effort needed for the industry and plant), you still would need to mine vastly less ore to compare to the leading fossil fuel. And that's also vastly less material per weight that needs to be managed per kilowatt-hour produced, even though the byproducts per weight need much more care. What I want to know is that how do these conflicting factors interact.
Yeah, it is imperative we act immediately, we only have . . ..*counts on fingers* . . . a couple billion years left before radioactive materials decay beyond economic feasibility!:P
Though on a serious note, kilowatt-hour for kilowatt-hour, isn't it more environmentally friendly to mine uranium than coal? Even factoring all the energy spent in refining and all that, fissile fuel has energy densities many orders of magnitude greater than any fossil fuel.

Doesn't mean there can't be steps taken to help the victims or impede the belligerent parties. If it becomes more expensive or less profitable for the trolls then: there's less incentive for newcomers to enter the business, less incentive to stay in business, lower margins, less incentive to go after the same volume of litigation, and thus activity should lower.
Hahahahahahaaa. That's a good post, good post. Problem is, it's better addressing your own attitude than mine?;)
I note you did not present evidence
Nor did you
You demonstrate the particular form of irrationality
I like to be skeptical. What can I say? I just can't help that irrationality.
"pride"
You mean your pride I hurt with my post? That is the one way to explain such a negative accusatory tone displayed in length. But as explained below, I'm not going to jump to that conclusion.
It's this need to assert a phony sense of superiority
My whole point. You're the one going off on "particular form of irrationality most rampant in this nation", not me. That is the attitude I challenged, and have challenged multiple times. It just happened to be now that it was your attitude.
or otherwise putting that person down,
I'm not putting anybody down. Yes, my tone is often abrasive, but if I'm going to put somebody down then I address that person explicitly. I was mocking the attitude that the deviant ills of society are so clearly seen to those who know better, and will be the downfall of said society. You, OTOH, addressed me personally. Now, the rest of the post I have no idea what you're rambling on. I could play armchair psychologist and say you're projecting your own faults onto others. Or you have your ego so wrapped up in seeing things so clearly that you flip a fuse when somebody challenges your world view. But I'm not. I don't know what's going inside your head. And I don't care. Unlike you, I'm not going to jump to conclusions about others motives and thoughts. So relax
I've seen python, perl, and java bioinformatics software. Not much of C or C++. I've used matlab and it's pretty good for doing heavy number crunching and graphing. SAS OTOH is a PITA.
Because the concept is wrong, and missing another very important concept in economics, psychology, and even biology. Informally speaking, when a person (or thing) has a large, important investment or resources/time/energy, it is more significant to lose the same amount of resources than to gain it. Even if the person can recover from the losses. And before some smart-ass replies, no, this is not the fallacy of sunk costs.

Making something like the GCC is not simple.

Calm down, it's just a joke.

So you're saying your not a troll then, even though you act like one? I'm confused.
Barriers to entry, do you understand it?

And only the brilliant select few can see it . . . right.
And what does it take to be 'native' then? It's a relative word.
And the alternative - corporate funded research - is immune from financial instability and PBHs deciding what is and isn't studied?
A bit off topic, but it's a shame that show was cancelled.
If your argument resorts to calling the other a shill, then your argument fails by default. Just like invoking bad comparisons to nazis.
Which would lead to more ticket sales per plane. Per person carried the cost of fuel still goes down.
Of course, there's only so far they can push it. FAA does impose regulations on seat arrangement and spacing.
