If this leads to a means of rapidly computing solutions in knot theory that are currently very difficult to solve then it is a big deal, and if that is also applicable to string theory who knows, it could be worth a Nobel Prize eventually.
Given he is Afro-Asian? Does he get counted as 0.5 of a black person? i.e. What minority do you count or favour?
This idea of race is increasingly becoming irrelevant.
If you want a better metric, for the purpose of mitigating disadvantage, you should count every employee multiplied by a factor between 0 and 1 based on the economic and academic status of their parents.
The problem with the entire GMO issue is that it is not just the introduced metabolites that need to be assessed because the secondary effects of them being in the organism are just as important. For example, what if I change my plants to allow me to use more of a chemical that makes them more productive, but then that chemical causes people in the region to have higher exposure levels and it is found to be a possible carcinogen?
Possible but not probable? Well actually it has already happened, even if Monsanto el al and the W.H.O. disagree on the matter. What can you do in that case, other than note the disagreement and err on the side of caution by subscribing to the opinion of the entity that you feel you can trust most? That isn't paranoia, or even politics, it is pragmatic risk management.
Good point, not only do you extend the range of the operation you also partially get around one serious flaw with it. If all drones launch from one point they can be tracked and captured by criminal mugger drones. The criminals would take the item being delivered and resell it while using the parts of the captured drone to make more mugger drones so that Amazon can't tell for sure if one of the drones in the sky near their warehouse is still on their side or if it has crossed over to the dark-side.
How can people be smart enough to run a company like Amazon and not have seen that coming, surely they did a risk analysis that went beyond the liability of having the drones land on people's heads?
If it is not a group of objects shading a single star it could be multiple small luminous objects in a chaotic orbit close in around a black hole or some similar configuration that works if you reverse a few assumptions about what it could be. That would explain the absolute dimming effect without any infra-red getting past the shading object.
Good point, and why do people always think of network, singular, when common-sense security suggest that we partition physical and information into zones or layers according to the risk the potentially posed vs the need to access services. However the problem with WiFi devices that look or listen to their environment is that while they can be blocked from other parts of your LAN they can still be compromised directly and used to invade your privacy. Why even have cameras when in many cases all you need is a $2 motion detector connected to a $2 WiFi module that can run custom (open) firmware (nodemcu)? Even when you need a camera does it need to be online or simply able to record in a loop that is saved in a secure manner, which you then physically access when you need to audit the footage?
No need to go into accounts if the files are in a form that is protected by a checksum you just need to flag all the owners of files that have that checksum in their file-system metadata. No innocent accounts are ever looked at. However it would be appropriate to get a warrant for every single account that got flagged before conducting a more direct investigation.
So how is this a bad thing, the innocent are protected and their privacy is never compromised.
The almost violent manner in which this pogrom against perverts is being prosecuted has caused some zealots to overlook the fact that even the perpetrators need help more than they need to be punished. However they do need to be controlled if they cannot control themselves.
Sure our entire society has an issue with how people interact, that is obvious, but a social maturing process should be achieved in a nurturing rather than a punitive manner. Not only do we need to educate potential perpetrators (which means, everyone) as to their responsibilities and where they can seek help with behavioural, control, issues, we also need to educate potential victims (again everyone) as to best cope with other people's conduct and how to seek help in correcting it before incidents progress to the point where the solution becomes destructive. The third part of this strategy is to ensure that the required support structures and processes are in place, that everyone is able to access them, and that they are comprehensive enough to ensure that nobody falls through the cracks and that all behavioural aberrations are identified and corrected as quickly and subtly as possible,
They need to establish resupply dumps all the way there and back to ensure the potato supply does not run low. In fact if they grow a sufficiently large potato in orbit that could solve all of their problems including shielding the crew from space radiation. The only risk then will be the question of if a sufficiently large potato could become sentient and decide they would make good fertiliser or somehow enslave them as a source of poo.
I have some old IBM boxes here that are very well engineered and constructed, almost as solid as old HP gear, but the heat they put out is outrageous by today's standards so they got replaced. I get them out for special projects but even with SDDs etc. the improved performance does not greatly mitigate the problem with wasted energy.
Is this a "The genie is already out of the bottle so we may as well teach him some manners." type argument? I guess it is a valid point if the end result is less potential harm to civilians. But aren't current generation weapons already accurate enough to a small fraction of their blast radius? Or are we talking about a new weapon that is so accurate and controllable that you can dial it down to 0.00001% and use it to cauterise a dictator's haemorrhoids while he sleeps?
I realise these are just kids, so without an ounce of wisdom, but how can they be smart enough to do this yet so stupid that they do not see that hurting other people just because they are related to a person you are politically opposed too is the sort of evil shit we condemn North Korea for?
If you claim to act out of principle you need to keep in mind that ethical humans don't go after people at home, unless they are single, because family are off limits.
If you knowingly break that rule then you are nothing but a sociopath, and your claimed cause or motive is irrelevant.
You'd be surprised how easy it is to trigger the death a vulnerable person by publishing a particular type of photo of them to the web. Of course doing so also risks the alternative, where they murder you rather than just kill themselves, or they could do both. Cameras can kill because photo publishing is to bullet as camera is to gun.
It could serve as a means of recording on the public record that those people are "insensitive" and therefore more likely to be psychopathic. Sounds like a good way of weeding out such people from positions where they could do harm. Three strikes, under that law, and you can't work in certain professions.

Trump is very effective, you just haven't worked out what he is doing yet.

" I don't see a clear way to enforce the distinction."
With those skills you should be an IT project manager.
Ever heard of a checksum?

No innocent accounts are ever looked at. However it would be appropriate to get a warrant for every single account that got flagged before conducting a more direct investigation.

Some tools, based on their function, would indicate the hand size of the user and the hand size should be proportional to the overall body size.
Size is an adaptation to the amount of food available to each individual of a population.

Why did you waste my time with this possible hint about a maybe with no details from people who do not actually know anything?

True, since the rise of the global warming meme we have had far less trouble from these things, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

No the Wang Pong is over 100 km from the DMZ but they may be using phase arrays to make their rigs far more directional.
