TLDR: A map doesn't tell you where you are; a map helps you figure it out yourself.
Many people will (have, in fact) disagree with this, but I think they are conflating two (or three) different things.
Someone skilled with a map can use it to track their location over time. Someone skilled with a map can identify visible landmarks and thereby determine their current location. But a GPS doesn't help the user determine their location, it determines the location itself and hands over the result. Not the same process (for the user) at all.
yeah, looks like familysearch's article messed that up. 3000TB * 1 drive/2TB => 1500 drives. I suspect someone grabbed "1500" when writing it up and overlooked that it was drives, not dollars.
Now, at this point we can get 4TB for 120 at newegg, which changes the figures to 750 drives totaling $90,000, and would weigh (at 610g each) 457ish kg, or about 1000 lbs.
given the prevalence of gerrymandering and lobbying, a lot of people really believe that they do not in fact have any significant access to other methods, so the answer to your question is yes, they see no political solution.
Your definition of "cruise missile" is a bit narrower than the dictionary's, and a lot of that is more for the US Military's mission parameters than the parameters of a terrorist or criminal (e.g. reliability, precision, vertical launch).
no, it's supposed to make you think "hey, if this thing is actually better in this way than anything else, is it really in our best interests to avoid it instead of using it?"
Oh, it's possible to survive without cellphones. But he could still get sued into bankruptcy and homelessness if a jury decides that his prevention of a 911 call caused someone harm. He was lucky that didn't happen.
if we're talking about _practical_ statistics, then maybe it will (I think it should) include "these are various ways that statistics can be presented to mislead. Keep an eye out for these."
I'll say it. Everything about the current internet that I consider to be an improvement over the internet as it was in 95 is services that I pay for, and those don't advertise to me.
about 3.8 months, unless I dropped a decimal. 6e23 atoms wanted / 6e14 rods means we need to generate 1e9 atoms per rod; at 1e-2 seconds per atom per rod, that's 1e7 seconds or 115ish days.
the problem is that they feel disenfranchised. Things are changing in ways they don't like and they don't feel like their opinions are getting considered fairly.
Whether the feelings are accurate is not really important; they do feel that way and they're going to act on that basis.
That contributed, sure, but I blame the following two beliefs (and the developers/designers who hold them): a) making it cute will not harm intuitiveness significantly b) what's intuitive to me will be intuitive to my audience

you'd like to buy the world a clock

I was thinking Crazy Taxi, but yeah :)

So a ton of data is two libraries of congress :)

From the descriptions of that kind of paradox I've seen, yes, essentially. http://www.askamathematician.c...

I'd have thought "You're right, in a way; the field of..." would be preferred.
that's the key flaw in every human system of government.
Wouldn't that be 3.05MW/m^3?
I think that's the point - to remove some of the challenges not everyone else has so they have the opportunities everyone else does.
Whether any given program actually achieves that is of course debatable.

You assume his stated goal is (and will remain) his real goal. Perhaps it is, perhaps not.
well, solely based on his assessment of whether they'll advance his goals - not quite the same thing.
