982 MWH/day costs approximately $100,000 per day. Is the marginal utility of mining bitcoins worth more than $100,000 per day to the world economy? If so, carry on. If not, everybody please stop.
Building a facility far from the crowded, high cost of living area of the DC metroplex (MD, VA, and DC) is a brilliant idea. I give the NSA credit for this one. Decent paying jobs in a low cost of living area will attract good people. Whatever else you can say about the NSA, they did this right. I wish more government jobs would migrate away from the MD-VA-DC military industrial complex corridor.
What is your first language?
It won't attract good people. It will attract people regardless of their moral status. Given where it's sited, it might end up being staffed by Apostolic United Brethren sister wives.
If it needs many people at all. It's a data center that will be mostly occupied by servers and mostly accessed from elsewhere. The advantages of building a data center in Utah are:
It's probably already of interest to the NSA given its alleged use in alleged illegal activities and the fact that it leaves a digital trail that an organization like NSA could potentially use to track who is paying whom.
you can use "Permissions Free" for example to modify an app's permissions. But some apps won't run if you take away any of their permissions. What's really needed is sandboxing.
So now prosecutorial misconduct that would get any civilian prosecutor disbarred is going to indefinitely delay the release of any prisoners who happen to be innocent.
What self respecting hacker would donate their precious time to helping out a Mark Zuckerberg and his company. Facebook does not need this help. Facebook are the only real winners of this little feat. There are better alternatives for people who dont want to support a shady company like Facebook
Not necessarily. Maybe some guy just noticed it wasn't supported on his phone, got curious and said, "Well why not?" So he picked apart the app, found out where/how it enabled certain phones, rebuilt that part to verify that was truly how it worked, and then published his findings on XDA-developers, adding the obligatory, "this may brick your phone" that goes on every hack on XDA-developers. As it should. You install not-thoroughly-tested mods on your phone at considerable risk.
Were you listening to the dude's story? Swallow them all at once, you'll be fine. Because they will all stick together before they have a chance to attract via adjacent tracts of the intestine. No problem. Swallow them several hours apart, and you have a problem.
A bunch of magnets stuck together is likely to cause a blockage. So you would not be fine.
Those seem stupid, but for at least two there's a reason: peanuts are legumes, and people can be allergic to either tree nuts or peanuts, or both; and yoghurts can be soy-based rather than dairy-based.
So that makes it OK to trick kids into buying stuff with their parents' money their parents can't afford? WTFIWWY?
We call them children for a reason. Make it so parents can't afford to leave them alone with a computer for 5 minutes and parents won't let them have access to computers or game systems or phones at all. I don't know if that's a good thing or not but it's not how I would want to run my household.
More likely Google's indexing engine identifies many of the malware sites and tosses them from the index because they think users don't want to find them. Bing is probably doing the same thing, but not as well.
3. #2 also applies to gays. They should have a right to live how they wish like everyone else. They don't deserve the special privileges or attention they get from the left.
What special privileges do you suppose liberals are trying to get for gays. The right to marry the person of their choice just like a heterosexual can?. The right to not be bullied for being different than the majority of other people? The right to adopt children? The right to not be demonized? The right to dress and act how they want as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else? You mean those special privileges?
4. The argument for gun control is childish at best: "daddy maybe if we make the guns go away no one will kill one another anymore". If the left would address the issues in its own public education system, we'd have fewer klebolds and lanzas out there.
Now, the new interpretation of the Espionage Act that the Pentagon is trying to hammer in to the legal system, and which the Department of Justice is complicit in, would mean the end of national security journalism in the United States.
No such thing. If information is published, it will be foreseeably received by the enemy, whoever the enemy might be. Besides, it's still a crime and has been for many years to disclose classified information to any person not authorized to receive it. Just because the press got a pass in the past in some high-profile cases does not mean that law has been struck off the books.
600 cars going 50 MPH on a one-mile stretch of 4-lane freeway is extremely dangerous. 60 cars going 80 MPH on that same mile of freeway is must less dangerous.
[citation needed]
Break out your calculator.
600 cars/ 4 lanes/ 60mph:
typical length of a car: 20 feet
# of feet of highway (counting all 4 lanes) = 5280 * 4 = 21,120 feet
# of cars = 600
feet of lane per car = 21120 / 600 = 35.2 ft/car
typical distance between cars = 15.2 feet
Median human reaction time: about 215 ms. (http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/stats.php) in near-ideal conditions
Distance travelled in this time =.007 sec * 60 mi/hr =.215 * 60 mi/hr * 5280 ft/mi / 3600 sec/hr = 18.2 feet.
So under ideal conditions, you would just become able to start responding to an emergency at the location of the car in front of you about when you arrive at that position. Now your car can begin to respond to your control.
Now consider the same calculation at 60 cars per mile and 80 mph:
typical distance between cars = 152 feet.
Distance traveled in this time =.215 * 80 mi/hr * 5280 ft/mi / 3600 sec/hr = 25.2 feet
A typical person is still 127 feet from the back of the next car when he or she can start to respond to any event. There is a lot more space in adjacent lanes, so he/she can respond by changing lanes with a small chance of hitting another car, or can respond by slowing down without likely causing an accident.
Really? How does isolating workers so they only ever interact with other members of their teams help an organization?
And how is meeting people who are working on different projects and may already have thought of some of the ideas that haven't dawned on you yet harmful?
Sure I have. I just had forgotten about them for the moment. But the little square things you get when you chop something in little square pieces? Those are called dice.

"I thought my passthought. But maybe I didn't think it the right way. Let me try again..."
Just what we need, an even more complicated and harder to use apparatus with a reduced probability of correctly identifying the right user.
Since when is "works correctly 99% of the time" good enough for an authentication system?
"About 982 megawatt hours a day, to be exact"
982 MWh/day / 24 = ~41 megawatts
Come on reporters, convert brain-dead units into normal units.
MWH is a unit of energy. It's also readily convertible to money.
982 MWH/day costs approximately $100,000 per day. Is the marginal utility of mining bitcoins worth more than $100,000 per day to the world economy? If so, carry on. If not, everybody please stop.

Yes, it's an absurd amount of data, but I can think of several impractical things to do with it that would be right up their alley.

Why build this when Google has the data centers and is already spying private citizens?
because sometimes Google asks for a warrant.

It seems like it would be more useful to hack it to be easier to turn on and off via the status bar.

Got any evidence for that. Any at all?
Whether the law is Constitutional is an entirely separate issue than whether the law has been the law for some time.

I'm having trouble seeing this as a viable manufacturing technique. How do you make the chiplets go down on the substrate in the desired orientation?
Dice is correct. "Dies" is the past tense of a verb.
