The Iranians know how to spoof GPS signals quite well. Be suspicious if they start pushing for more geolocation. If you believe the tinhatters, all Intel Management chipsets already have latent 3G hardware which could be repurposed for this use case.
Naww, SpaceX is making the old NASA rapidly obsolete. In a decade, NASA will be out of the launch business, out of the space station business, and possibly out of the aeronautics research business. They don't want to just be the guys with planetary probes, so now they're going to try to move in on quiet Air Force territory. Never underestimate a bureaucrat facing budget cuts.
Ain't no such creature, son. The key is being fully aware of each source's biases and mapping the common ground among all of them, post-filter. Gets you a little bit closer to an objective truth, but even at that don't take any related reality too seriously.
What great social good is Krauss providing by trying to scoop the investigators? I may not like the journal model, but it's what we have and the announcement is theirs, not his, by social convention. If this were a cure for cancer, he'd have cause (people about to undergo dangerous treatment might avoid it), but confirmation of gravity waves? Everybody loses except Krauss.
If only they would release the source code somebody could take a look.
Hrm, has anybody done a pf PFGA compiler yet? My low-end pfSense boxes won't really keep up over two bonded gigabits. All this propreitary gear is e-waste now.
One should not assume that, if Juniper fully discloses the who, what, and when of the compromises, including naming names.
Now if we only get silence, stonewalling, and "temporary contractors"s then we can assume either external control or a suicidal lack of business acumen.
Yeah, I put a $20 Cree in a hard-to-access location because I was tired of getting the ladder every three years and climbing up there. Now where is my Home Depot reciept from last April?...
Years back I had Dish Network and Netflix and canceled Dish mostly because the content was lame - there was hardly anything worth watching aside from a few PBS shows. Even Star Trek sucked at the time. I'm not aware that the situation has changed - AT&T may just be rate-limiting sign-ups with tie-ins to see how their network holds up.
If you want to keep mental illness stigmatized, insist it be kept a secret.
If I die of cancer, I won't have a problem with anybody talking about that. Same with a heart attack. Same with a mental illness.
A brain dysfunction can cause the affected quite a bit of suffering, but sympathy doesn't mean lying. There's no moral failing associated with, say, a neurotransmitter imbalance. These aren't attributed to demons in 2016 - we can see them on PET or fMRI. They're just as valid a medical problem as a broken arm, even if the science of treatment is still in its adolescence.
Now, people who belittle those with mental illness - they should be ostracized. It no better than taunting somebody who gets cancer.
A scorpion was walking along the bank of a river, wondering how to get to the other side. Suddenly, he saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him on his back across the river. The fox said, "No. If I do that, you'll sting me, and I'll drown." The scorpion assured him, "If I do that, we'll both drown." The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion climbed up on his back, and the fox began to swim. But halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him. As poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said, "Why did you do that? Now you'll drown, too." "I couldn't help it," said the scorpion. "It's my nature."
The only problem is calling things that don't need to obey the Scientific Method "science". Speculation is great - it's a prerequisite to a hypothesis (I won't DIceDot and explain how science works here).
There is an argument that we can't afford to learn about the climate by the methods of science - that we only get one shot and it could be too late if we don't act now. Which, fine, we can have that as a separate argument (ironically it's the political progressives making this ultra-conservative claim, in large part). It's when the sophists trot out their "the science is settled" or "we have agreement" nonsense that everything goes off the rails in terms of having a discussion using reason and evidence.
If politicians are standing behind the sophists demanding more money and power, watch your wallet and your liberty. If the sophists are on the politicians' payrolls, double down on that.
(Sophists may now commence comments arguing how science doesn't always require the scientific method).
Straying back on target, fast breeder reactors are the only way to clean up the nuclear waste mess previous generations have left us to deal with (leaving 300kilo-year waste is wildly irresponsible - the "greatest generation" were selfish assholes, thematically speaking). Accepting that, decarbonization is a convenient side effect for those who don't want a warmer world.
115 per year is similar to a number I posted here a decade ago - it's only unachievable if you think in terms of NASA, not SpaceX. Unless McAfee pulls off an upset, the US isn't going to be involved in next-gen energy. Thanks for the basic research, national labs - too bad about the commercialization bit.
The end goal is a landing at the space port, right near the launch pad - turn-around in a few days, so they can get to 50 launches a day on an ongoing basis. Watch the vision video on their website.
As far as landing at sea goes - they have the ships and they want their vehicle dynamics control to be able to handle the challenge. It will help improve correctness. Land landings will benefit from the improved algorithms. If the extant regimes get too bitchy it gives them additional options too. Plus, I dunno, a seastead spaceport maybe? Maybe Theil and Musk are talking again.
can crowdsource his wall. The USG can crowdsource its Iran invasion. Even the loonies just want someone else to pay for these things they claim they want. When the rubber hits the road their tunes suddenly change.
Unfortunately politics is still popular and not much more than a system for people's emotional problems to control others; if economics can be substituted I say crowdsouce all the things.
You realize that tens of millions of Americans live in similar or colder climates, right? And we don't even talk aboot Canadians.;)
If "it's too cold" is your excuse to not fight for liberty, the fight isn't burning that hot in the first place. We had 60's in December this year. It actually was cold this week - I had to endure at least 20 seconds of mild disscomfort because I don't have a remote car starter.
You misunderstand how statists work. "West Side Story" scared old people in the 60's so they wanted to ban switchblades. To be good bureaucrats they banned all knives capable of one-handed operation, including multitools that EMS uses. Some EMS medics accepted the risk of prosecution to be more effective at their jobs but now they don't have to. The legislator who ran this effort, Jenn Coffey, an EMS medic, was accused of political extremism by the statists for her efforts. As a long-time NH resident, I say bring on such "extremism".
Guaranteed by what? Where's the legally-binding contract you have with Motorola for 2 years of updates?
Did they advertise it? Did he buy one? Then its a contract that the courts will enforce.
Don't make the mistake of confusing the paper of a written contract for a contract. Of course it's cheaper to buy a new phone than engage in a court battle since we don't have marketable torts in the current Western systems.

5) Who would actually take their cover-story at face value?
It doesn't pass the smell test.
Why assume it came from the NSA?

Oh, is Chrome caching incognito mode data on disk and failing to shred it? Crappy spyware.

I understand you're having problems with your Police State. Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
He was right - it did happen, at least among the younger generations. The old people still have the guns, but they too will have their obituaries.

It all depends on what Sony plans on doing

Damn, dude, that is harsh.

It's DiceDot now. Corporate probably has focus groups of soccer moms saying the site assumes too much knowledge.
nah - if the backdoor is easily factored out by others, he can do some good without being hunted like Satoshi Nakamoto.

Reportedly they've gotten PayPal to cripple that project.
