If 45% of workers cannot live on their work anymore, I do not see how today's capitalism can sustain inside a democratic framework. People will vote to get a share of the wealth, the only outcome I see is a strong wealth redistribution system, or a dictatorial capitalist regime (i.e.: get rid of democracy).
Team reduced from 150 to 8. The unlucky 142 remaining PhD will line up to become scientific journalists, producing rounds of papers about the latest molecule that will make us live longer, treat cancer, and/or obesity.
He could just observe that people around him wasted time reading that books and learnt nothing. You do not need first hand experience to judge books, their reputations helps you making choices.
Syria never ratified the 1994 convention prohibiting making and ownership of chemical weapons. Neither did Israel or Egypt. It means that it is perfectly legal for them to have that weapon stockpile.
OTOH, US and Russia ratified that treaty and only disposed half of their chemical weapon stockpile. That story is not a big victory for international conventions. Just the stronger bending the arm of the weaker.
If I understand correctly, the universe we see is the inside of a black hole, and the big bang is the time that black hole created its singularity.
Now I can imagine that in each black hole we see there is another universe. Or is it always the same universe that is found inside all different black holes? And I still have trouble to imagine what happens to someone taking a dive into a black hole. Is it possible to enter the universe inside a black hole?
IMO the problem is that teachers in higher education are evaluated on their research and not on their teaching.
The teacher that devotes time to preparing lectures has less time for research, and is therefore less likely to become a tenured professor that a coworker that is neglecting teaching
How would that affect Ellictic Curve Diffie-Hellman Exchanges, which are the current preferred way to obtain Perfect Froward Secrecy (which means leak of the server private key does not help deciphering previously stored communications) in TLS?
That would not help Russia getting rid of their chemical weapon stockpile, something they agreed to do in a convention from 1992 on the possession of chemical weapons (The 1925 convention bans the use but not the creation and possession). But this is not a big problem, since US is also late on this agenda, with a lot of remaining chemical weapons that should already have been discarded.
Now, there is also the health physics questions which for a non ionising EM field at 2.4Ghz come down to considering thermal effects. At 2.4Ghz this largely comes down to thermal effects in the skin and other surface layers (2.4GHz is used in microwave ovens for a reason, water has an absorbtion band there), the surface layer that **REALLY** matters in this is the eye! A few watts per square metre power flux density is probably not too much of a problem, much more might be.
What about modulated signals? We have hints of them when a mobile phone gets a call while being close to a speaker, but there may be unheard frequencies
I am sure it would work better if the decision was made by a secret court. The convicted user and its ISP would be informed by a National Security Letter with a gag order. After all this is about maintaining order, and we know it requires some secrecy. Otherwise pesky journalists brag about government wrongdoing about human rights, while it is just busy protecting the economy (and healthy economy means you may get a job if you apply where it has been off-shored, so this is for your own good).
Some raised issues about the whether it is possible to cut internet access without cutting the phone when the ISP provides both. There is a simple solution to that: instead of cutting internet access, the secret court could decide to abduct the user to a rehabilitation camp, where he could be taught about its wrongdoing using modern techniques such as waterboarding. That could be off-shored to some dictator-led third world country to save money, while still creating jobs opportunities at the same time (see above).
Sure, but there are many exceptions, and you never get the tone, therefore it does not help if you face an unknown character. At most it helps when learning.
There are many languages backed by Chinese characters, and the own nature of the characters helps that. You need to remember a few thousands of them to read a newspaper, and in many time the character does not give you a clue on how to pronounce it. The funny thing is that two person may be able to understand themselves by writing but not by speaking.
Changing this paradigm will require security professionals to develop new communication skills so they can talk about security risks in terms that are clearly relevant to the top-level business goals
Here is another possible outcome: change the executive and get people that actually able to understand what is going on in their company, and what their employees are doing.
Any nation would prove to be an unethical steward of the Internet: power tempts and corrupts
This is why separation of powers is important. Unfortunately it has been neglected by most democratic countries. We do not see very often a parliament spanking the executive for unproper behavior. Justice does not have a much better record. Once cause of the problem is the secrecy culture that executive branches pushed for counter terrorism.
Do you have something against democracy? If the vast majority wants some profits to be shared so that people can live, the rich minority has to comply, or to install a dictatorship.
Beside, redistributing wealth is not socialism. I did not talked about seizing machines and move them to public ownership.
This is another move toward producing what humanity needs without human working. How many persons we need to feed the USA today?
At some point we will have to admit that there must be an universal income regardless of work done, Otherwise the end of the story will be robots producing goods that nobody can afford except the robot owners.

As I understood TFA, the universe inside of the blackhole is 3D, just like the universe outside.

How does that energy compares to what is needed to send a human body in the sun? That get the same result in the end.

Is it better to use slower DHE-RSA after all?

Um, ok. I missed it was supposed to be taken as an irony warning.
It seems you failed to grasp the notion of addiction.
yes, the character usually gives a clue how to pronounce it
Here is an example: sòng, which means give. Where is the hint for prononciation?

Like English that was imposed to native of America...

Besides, the rich minority doesn't have to comply. They can leave the country.
Good, if they leave to avoid the taxes decided by the People, it will be legitimate to seize the lands and machines they will leave behind.

Even Cuba is on this list!
The guy lives in the Netherlands. I hope the offense is not huge enough that they can get him extradited.
