Me too. Not even obscure stuff. Other production are so stingy with letting Netflix carry their content, and want me to subscribe to their own streaming services. I'd just as soon wait for it to hit Bluray and get it from Netflix. Their disc library is much bigger than their streaming library.
If anything, it should give game developers more information on the market potential of Linux users. We don't get counted when we run Windows on the side to play games, or run the games with Wine ourselves.
"Deep waters?" "Hard hitting questions?" They are giving the US congress a lot of credit. I agree preparation is a good idea. But, perhaps he should be more prepared for a barrage of vacuous, ideological grandstanding than rigorous insight.
Maybe if they took one idea out of that story and ran with it. Interstellar's plot was a jumbled mess of a dozen different ideas all thrown into one story. Poul Anderson's "Tau Zero", for example, beautifully used time dilation as the defining plot element.
Manufacture useful things to sell. Then you don't need to create cryptocurrency, but collect currency from somebody else in exchange for the product. What is the point of digital currency, except to create entropy and hasten the heat death of the universe?
Depends on the word database. If you use the "ten-hundred words people use the most often" that he used in the "Up Goer Five" comic, then they would be much simpler. Essentially, you could build passwords from a set of 1000 easily remembered words.

Because a lot of tasks are painfully boring for a human to work on, and computers don't care. Computers that emulate some human ability, like neural networks, can be improved on by using more accurate models than the old neural networks. They still have many useful applications, despite being based on simplistic or incorrect models of how real neurons behave. You don't need a full human mind emulation to do useful work. Though, this is one small step in that direction.
Binzel's proposing sending astronauts to asteroids that pass very close to Earth, not just robotic missions - which I agree with. From the source article:
Once humans can reach one asteroid in its native orbit, the gateway is opened such that hundreds (if not thousands) more will be accessible, enabling a steady programme of exploration to be unrolled in the late 2020s and 2030s.
If you build a massive transportation infrastructure capable of hauling people & cargo for numerous several month journeys, you've pretty much adapted humanity to live in the space between worlds. At that point, why limit yourself to just Mars? As much as I'd love to visit, climb the mountains, rappel the canyons, and explore the lava tubes, there's a lot more solar system to see. Colonizing Mars adds one element of redundancy, but numerous self-sufficient space colonies, living off sunlight and the rich (and accessible) resources of asteroids would be far more robust - and interesting.
Sure there is. Evolve. Locally reduce our own entropy at the expense of the universe, and change to something better adapted to survive in the universe than humanity presently is.
True, but only one of those - ACE - provides definitive storm strength and arrival time, by sampling the solar wind directly upstream of Earth for magnetic field & plasma properties (density, speed, and temperature). SOHO and STEREO let you know that something left the sun using imagery and estimate the arrival time. All of those are old NASA satellites long past their design lives, and never intended as reliable weather forcasting assets. The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) will take over for ACE next year.
Grid operators respond by reducing the output of baseload power plants (nuclear, coal, etc.) and bringing up small local generators (e.g. natural gas) to reduce the load on long distance transmission lines and their transformers. That is sufficient for the more common small events. Probably not for events like Carrington and the May 1921 geomagnetic storm, but at least they will be in a position to respond. The big danger would to be blindsided because the government couldn't get their act together enough to fund reliable forecast & warning systems. The worst events can take as little as 18 minutes from a satellite at L1 to Earth.
Only two are in common with the people Peter Seibel interviewed for his book "Coders at Work" - Donald Knuth and Ken Thompson: http://codersatwork.com/
Arguably just as valid a list.
Indeed. Renewable energy supporters often sound like they aren't convinced that their solution is actually better - just that it's more ethical - and fail to bring up the measurable benefits.
Non-renewables right now enjoy an implicit subsidy because all the damage they do isn't showing up in their price at the pump or electric bill - it's being absorbed in higher taxes, medical bills, business expenses, and the like. A carbon tax is a way to make that cost explicit and make the energy market more functional with better information.

Do you want to enforce the law?
We might as well work in bars.
No, you are just being gaslighted. The goalpoast of what is called "leftist" is being moved.
It just sounds like they are acting like a low-pass filter, which is a sensible design consideration for any noisy system.

It's like concluding that trolls exist based on an offhand remark made by Norway's prime minister.

Birds have prior art.

According to the original source, it's mostly onshore wind. See page 50: https://www.gov.uk/government/...
Replace the regulations with a functional equivalent. Don't just magically figure that the free market will figure it out. I hope it works.
Why not allow all schools, daycares, babysitters, etc. to require up to date vaccinations before providing services?

Good luck with that. Also, keeps out White Walkers and giants.
