We started by arbitrarily drawing lines on a map without considering who is living there.
The lines weren't arbitrary. They were specifically drawn to enclose multiple smaller distributions of each faction so as to implement (the wildly successful, to this day) "divide and rule" strategy among all of the resulting states. That's a classic British technique, along with plantation.
Red book CD audio has 64 bits of error correction for each 561 bits of audio data, and the data frames are interleaved, but there's only one copy of the audio data on a disc. Many of the copy protection schemes fuck around with the data, especially the error correction data, to "prevent" copying, so the audio data has become more fragile than the red book standard.
Very true. I have fantastic hearing and have always taken care of my ears and I can't hear pure tones anymore past 15 kHz without cranking up the volume. Even then it's more of a "feeling" than actually hearing the tone. My cats freak out when I crank it up to 22 kHz, so the speakers are producing the tones just fine (and I double checked with a frequency analyzer).
How is a cassette even remotely suitable for that purpose? You put it in the player and it starts wherever you last stopped it (or on the other side of the tape at some random spot). If you want to start the "story" from the beginning, you need to first wait while it rewinds (and hope that you're on the right side).
A CD is better for that, by virtue of starting from the beginning each time you play it alone.
Half-life is a property of the ensemble of atoms, not of individual atoms. Radioactive decay is a stochastic process and is just as likely to happen to "new" atoms as "old" atoms, so they "age" of the individual atoms is irrelevant.
You need a strong base, like lye, for saponification. I think that the OP was just calling sodium bicarbonate a "soap", which is odd. It is used as a cleaning agent, but it's not "soap".
It's a phone, and the last consideration seemed to have been the phone functionality. I bet the sending-your-location-and-everything-else-back-to-the-mothership functionality worked flawlessly, though.
Even better than a standard car OS (which would become hilariously obsolete and unsupported long before the car died), would be a standard way to interface with the car's display/audio/touch/buttons. Sort of like MirrorLink/CarPlay/Android Auto, but not patent encumbered and/or tied to a single vendor.
He's talking about who is actually in possession of the records, not who has/grants legal authority to access them.
Is the data in your hand, as in you can leaf through it yourself, or do you merely control who has access to it? Are you responsible for bringing all of your heath records to the physician's office, or do they already have them all and you're merely "authorizing" them to access the records?
#1 You physically hold and secure the records
#2 A "trusted" third party holds the records
#3 The government holds the records
#4 The physicians offices, insurance companies, billing services, etc each hold some or all of the records.
This is kind of the reason we dont like hiring people with living relatives or legal records of their existence. They have no commitment to the job. We need to be able to plan on the person being around to do their job when the going gets tough.
While you're reading about the S-boxes, make to make note of their recommendation to reduce the key sizes (they were recommending a reduction from the proposed 64 bits to 48 bit keys). The conflict between their two roles have always been an issue.
And if Hillary was a turd, I'm curious if the dictionary contains a word for Donald.
Calling Clinton a turd shouldn't be construed as an endorsement of Trump, but Clinton is probably the only possible candidate that could have lost to Trump. Of course, the followup to that is that Trump is the only candidate that could result in a close election with Clinton. They're both utterly shit choices.
That's fine, then someone should write up an amendment, get it passed and ratified by 2/3 of the States. Nobody is really a 'proponent' of it, as far as I know, it just hasn't had any real congressional Opponents who weren't only griping about losing elections. It's just not been changed because that's the way it has been, and changing it is hard.
Well, the small or less populated states that would lose their influence (or, as they see it, representation) are proponents of it. Getting 2/3 of the states to ratify such an amendment wouldn't be easy, when it would mean that most of those states would have to accept the presidential choice of California and a few northeastern states every election.
You'd be asking them to ratify an amendment that formalizes their insignificant role of "flyover country".
And in the look-no-further-than-next-quarter wisdom that ensures that we're never prepared for the inevitable, I assume that the people who get to live will be the sociopathic corporate executives and the semi-retarded descendants of old wealth and such, right?
I'll just leave this here, in case you think that the word "cyanogen" was made up just recently by this phone OS project: cyanogen.
The android project is in fact named after an extremely toxic compound (or generally a class of compounds) that contains the cyanide moiety. The "cyan" part of cyanide is just a historical curiosity based on it's original synthesis (from Prussian Blue).

Why is xkcd (through fastly) still using a cert signed by a revoked intermediate CA? Isn't three months long enough to sort that out?

Superman has already moved on from caffeine.

We've had a viable system on the table for years now, but certain big players have backed away from it in favor of a doubling down on the CA model.
An awesome site to help train my javascript blacklist is what it is! Thanks for the heads-up.
So you're going with: "You're holding it wrong?"
It's a phone, and the last consideration seemed to have been the phone functionality. I bet the sending-your-location-and-everything-else-back-to-the-mothership functionality worked flawlessly, though.
That needs a PC to decode the signals. How is that "a real radio that doesn't need software"?
Yeah... steal everything a guy ever had constitutes "no one is hurt".
That's your socialist mentality in a nutshell.
Well, we're talking about inheritance here, so that guy is dead. The dead don't have property rights.
Well, in their defense, the old solid stuff is very heavy and they don't want to move it from apartment to apartment as they constantly move.

Thanks for saying this, as I was just about to say the same. His analysis is pretty good except for the attributions.
Scary.
