Depends on where you are. In my area child services is too understaffed to investigate properly and prioritizes putting the kid back together with the parents.
For example: "Eli's grandmother, doctors, child protection workers, even a waitress who saw the boy bleeding from his mouth as he tried to eat ice cream. His day-care teachers said he screamed in fear when his father came to pick him up. Still, authorities placed him in foster care only for brief periods and then returned him time and again to his father and to new beatings. On Sept. 26, 1986, Darren, angry that Eli was crying, kicked him in the stomach, beat him with a belt and left him wedged in a toilet bowl with a ruptured lower intestine. Eli died the next day."
"Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?"
The guy's not a climate scientist by profession or education. He's as useless as the Heartland Institute. Even now he's getting basic facts wrong.
>we still aren't sure whether it is us or a natural cycle we don't undertstand,
Isotope ratios and measurements show that we're producing the CO2, and the pattern of warming (colder stratosphere, warmer nights, less longwave radiation escaping to space) matches causation by CO2.
Not actually touching the reactor, but if you've studied systems safety engineering you know that screwing up a display or warning system is a perfectly adequate way to wreck things.
Regular reactor fuel, in the usual light water power reactors, is enriched to 3%. The technology of enrichment is needed. To go beyond 3% to weapons grade, just run the centrifuges longer.
However, not everyone needs the technology: people with pure motives could simply buy enriched fuel from someone who already has the infrastructure.
People complain about spouses and jobs which they in fact want to keep.
Might the same thing be happening here? People still keep their money in banks, shop at big businesses, and don't use any of the many tools for influencing the government. They still call 911 when there's an emergency.
I like to tell people that crypto doesn't solve a problem, but instead changes the problem into one that you hope is easier.
Crypto replaces the problem of securing your communications channel with a problem of key management.
Since the first problem is usually insoluble, this is usually a good thing, but good luck doing key management when the client machines are zombies controlled by an attacker, like so many personal computers are.
If I had moderator points I'd mod that up (why hasn't anyone else?), but as it is I'll just repost it with my karma bonus: ------------------ Or third option: he did try to close it but Congress vetoed [guardian.co.uk] the plan to close Gitmo without letting the terrorist loose.
There are three branches in our government and one can often estop the other, Commander-in-Chief or not.
Debugging is about what the code actually does, and the hard part, why it does it.
The *right* kind of comments helps explain the "why" if the code is working right. I've been complimented for including comments that began "Maintenance note:" that explained non-obvious decisions.
But end-user documentation? You can generate test cases from it, but only a small fraction of those you need.
That's at the end of the education and entry level pipeline. Cultural issues can push women into other fields long before they're qualified to apply at your workplace.

There are some fun impact effect calculators on the web. A 500-ton sphere of iron would have major effects where it hit.
On the other hand, lunar orbit is a pretty safe place for it.
To use lunar resources you have to land and take off in a gravity well. Distance matters much less than delta-V for space operations.
Asteroids are differentiated. Some are mostly pure nickel-iron. Never heard of that being available on the moon.
Over the course of history, which is more common and more damaging: terrorists, or tyrants?
+1 insightful.

>IMMEDIATELY one day one, bring every foreign troop back home
I hope he knows how to do it without having it turn into a situation like Dunkirk.
If that were correct then backups would not be admissible evidence. They are.
Those outstanding citizens can be subpoenaed, for example by a divorce lawyer trying to show that a parent was unfit
They were under 18. Some people that age can foresee consequences and make informed decisions. Many can't.
Their parents also signed the consent forms, but what do you think the odds are that the parents understood what the teens were sending and receiving?
An insider tricked by a social engineer can be even more dangerous than a malicious insider.
An insider's computer may be compromised, and therefore shouldn't be trusted any further than necessary for business.
I have some advice about insider threats for my clients which I haven't seen elsewhere.
Forced conversions are the subject of differences among Muslim scholars:
http://www.opendemocracy.net/patricia-crone/no-compulsion-in-religion
So we get the philosophical question: is the religion what the doctrine says, or what the adherents do (which is itself variable)?
In fact, Islam specifically encourages education.

How many errors were there in the 2500 pages of specs?
That group commands everyone's respect, and the answer is surely "As few as humanly possible", but doing that much error-free is not humanly possible.
Can we moderate this above +5? There's no need for any other comments after that one.
That's what the paper by Jakobsson et. al. referenced by the parent said.
The issue is whether that contradicts the theory that the world has been warming up since the 19th century largely due to human activity.
Finding a place that was warmer a thousand years ago does not falsify the theory.
Economics can indeed inform our discussion about the costs of various options.
What one side of the debate seems to overlook are the costs of doing nothing.
