Snow noted the divide, and suggested that "Literary" types needed to learn science, while noting that "Scientific" types already knew, or at least valued, Arts and Literature.
The debate has now been going for over 50 years and shows no signs of resolution.
While I'm not sure that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics should be the touchstone, I would argue that any graduand that can't demonstrate both a knowledge of the scientific method and an appreciation of art or literature should be required to do so before they can graduate.
I'd also like to see something like Ethics 101 and Aesthetics 101 as compulsory subjects.
I'm realistic enough not to actually expect any of these things to happen.
I'd loved my job: interesting, challenging and fun. Then they had a bad attack of external 'Change Managers', and over two years the job became hell. I discovered I was living a Dilbert cartoon.
Then came the restructure, and although I was offered a position, it was now dead-end. Instead, I found a new job within six weeks, at 150% of my previous salary (at a start up. I was the only one that didn't take a substantial salary cut to join).
The expensive consultants did not understand what the technical people did, did not understand the whole environment (University), and assumed because we were poorly paid (by their standards), we were disposable. Actually, we put up with poor pay because of the great environment, Which because shit. So we all left---with redundancy pay. At which point they discovered they couldn't even replace us with low-skilled techs at our salary.
We all went to better jobs, at improved salaries, and they had to pay more, for fewer staff, who performed much worse than we did.
As a result, I learned that if your real-life job ever resembles Dilbert, it's time to leave.
The Type I was originally an old USA 220v design. It's the standard Type A, but with the prongs slanted so you can't mistakingly plug 110v into 220v or vice versa, plus with an earth pin added (but you can still use a 2-pin Type I plug in a 3-pin socket, just like you can use a Type A plug in a Type B socket). Plus, for those distribution systems that use phase/neutral, if makes sure that the phase plug goes into the phase socket. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
ICMP is already disabled out here in the real world. You're a naive fool living in your own fantasyland if you're still relying on doing MTU negotiation with ICMP. As far as destination unreachable is concerned you should have learned by now how to use TCP reset instead. You know nothing of TCP/IP. Go educate yourself.
You aren't planning on ever using IPv6 then I take it?
The paper system kicks in when the terminal says "CAN'T CONNECT", or something similar. But only one bank was affected. Customers of other banks were OK. So merchants just thought the customer had insufficient funds. Of course, after a while it might start be become suspicious.
Consider yourself in a taxi at the airport, about to board a flight, and all of a sudden you have no way to pay for the fare. Unless you have multiple cards WITH DIFFERENT BANKS, you have a problem.
How isotropic? (a rope and a bucket of sand are both strong: but the rope is only strong in tension and the sand only in compression). What's the 'strength' to weight ratio?
For years we've been able to pump wood full of ethylene and then induce it to polymerize, What you end up with is a heavy piece of plastic inferior in almost all respects to the original wood.
As you point out, cost of working, preservation, reaction with the environment: all of these are hugely important.
Mild steel is US$500 per ton; Al is US$2000 per ton. It's the cheaper cost of manufacturing that means your beer can isn't steel any more.
Since the fix is to update the website, couldn't you just update it to say "Your web browser is not standards compliant". The same amount of effort and places blame in the appropriate place.
That's the point. Any of the super volcanoes going boom is going to ruin everyone's day. Cool that NASA may be able to damp down one of them, but maybe not useful in the larger scheme of things?
As can be seen from this list, Yellowstone is only one of many, and has been relatively quiet, unlike Tambora and Taupo which have both gone up comparatively recently.
I wonder if the Ratner Effect may come into play. Not in the normal way, because there isn't a free market here—the only reason he does this is because of the monopoly the FDA gives him owing to the certification of injectors. However, this is so indefensible that it is likely to get the sharks circling, in the form of shareholder revolt and politioans looking to score points, among others.
It sounds like it meets the definition of "barratry" which is a crime in most states, but is difficult to prove. I'm guessing perjury and fraud were easier to prove (money laundering is just a catchall to inflate penalties if you have some other offence to start with).
I'm not in any way disagreeing with this. I am simply refuting the misstatement that USA constitutional rights apply to citizens only.
In the context of the debate, it might be a fine, geekish point, but once someone is in a line waiting to get into the country, they don't magically become a non-person, Once they are in the country, they are afforded full constitutional protection, even if they overstay their visa, or even entered under false pretences! The law, backed by the constitution, will allow for them to be tried, punished and removed.
When you're trying to enter the U.S. and are held up at Customs and Immigration, you are not yet considered to be on U.S. soil, so you do not enjoy the protection of U.S. Constitutional rights.
Reductio ad absurdum So, non-citizens lacking any rights whatsoever, Customs & Immigration could happily kill them on a whim? You are not within the USA, so a lawless zone exists? Free-fire anyone?
If you are not on U.S. soil, why do non-citizens need a visa to transit? Fly from Asia to Europe via the USA and you need a visa. Almost every other country simply provides a transit lounge where you wait while you change planes.
It seems both obvious, and likely to withstand legal challenge, that when you are on the wrong side of the Customs & Immigration barrier, you are nevertheless under U.S. control, in U.S. jurisdiction, and under the mantle of the U.S. Constitution. You have not yet been admitted, according to due legal process, into the country. You might be denied entry, and sent back. You might be arrested because you are in fact a terrorist.
I agree with you, the current issues with Guantanamo and the 100mi limit show what happens when people try to create places where the law doesn't apply to 'them' (because 'they' are the good guys).
The Supreme Court has insisted for more than a century that foreign nationals living among us are "persons" within the meaning of the Constitution, and are protected by those rights that the Constitution does not expressly reserve to citizens. The Constitution expressly limits to citizens only the rights to vote and to run for federal elective office.

Of course, on a hot day, it would make sense to carry a cooler tote bag with some snacks. I wonder if they are 250GHz opaque?

I'm pleased to say it never has, so far.

Hah! IBM 029 keypunch for ever. 026 if you are truly hard core ("we don't need the text printed on the cards. True Programmers read Hollerith").
Except for conifers, as found at higher latitudes, like where the ship is heading.
Insemination?
All your base are belong to us.

Citation? A quick search shows them being sued, but not them suing their customers.
So, apparently he's not done a very good study of law either.

IANAL, in case that isn't blindingly obvious.
Just turn off all IPD/IDS, firewall and anti-virus. In an hour or so the ransomware should have the entire site thoroughly encrypted.
Let's not get into a debate over what assorted government agencies do on a regular basis that is, in fact, illegal.
