While as a scientist i know that climate change will be observable and is clearly cause by humans, I agree with your point.
In the media there is a representation of climate science which very often exaggerates, adds own interpretations and creates unjustified causal relations between observation and hypothesis.
I for my part would always like to consider the "null hypothesis" which means that if there is a big storm (or two in a row) i should ask how unlikely this would have been to observe it without climate change? If its not unlikely then I should stop thinking about it and wait until there were enough storms until statistics (and not my gut) tells me that this is unlikely.
Year in, year out you tell me how much taxis are overpriced (which they need to be for overcommiting and having a fixed price), and after ruining Taxi companies while singing hymns to the free market about demand and supply, you complain that rates go up when the demand peaks?
It's not like Uber said "we will make money from these bombs" it's more like "demand goes up, since people like to get away from bombs and price goes up".
a) "accurate" is not tied to "1 second" it may be - depending on application - a microsecond or a millenium.
b) it will not stay accurate for a billion years because it will fail before that time - and probably it would have be maintained (power, helium etc) much ealier.
Must have been over 2 years that i actually touched an optical disc in order to insert it into a drive. The last time i bought DVDs was in 2011, because they were cheap. The last time i rented DVDs was in 2013. The last time i bought a CD was ~2008 or 2009.
Well... technically any virus attacking MS-DOS but accidentally hitting a Nokia 9000 communicator could probably be counted under the category "MS-DOS" on a smartphone.....
which run in an special protected mode of the computer and abstracts the attached HW interfaces so that a program can not control the HS directly but a well defined subset of functions on this HW by calling another program.
Lets call the first program "os kernel" and the second one "device driver", and let's call the mode of the processor "ring 0".
To be clear on it: i would hope that the monitor firmware is somehow signed. OTOH, hacking my monitor still would require to pass the device driver on the computer, so i am not terribly worried, since the 1 Billion monitors do not have a coherent interface to firmware manipulations, and the picture that a pixel "uploads code" is accurate only an very abstract level, since in most monitors these pixels probably are not processed in the memory which can execute code. Those institutions with enough programming capacities to hack these already would have had access (swapping packets at the post) before delivery to circumvent it all.
in Britain should be freaking out about the brexit.
As a convinced European I find it highly amusing that the main "leave" campaign guys are now running away and officially stating that they have no idea what they actually planned (Yeah, we heavily lied in order to get you to approve a plan which we don't have, because it does not make any deeper sense).
I hope that the EU gives them choice between coming back without any special status, joining the Euro and the Schengen zone or remaining in "splendid isolation". In case of the latter: not terrible for the rest of the EU - one competitor is gone, and in 30 years there will be a new developing country with cheap labor.
Excellent book about the history of moder physics by Lee Smolin.
The problem is that the Mathematical frameworks from the beginning of the last century are still being explored. Many theories sschould actually not be considered theories but rather experiments in equivalence classes of theories.
The fact that popular science jumps on every meta-theory and claims that it explains anything does not help.
They dont have the means. It took many thousands of man-years of highly educated mathematicians to build the capabilities of the western services.
It seems that the NSA subverted the crypto infrastructure for several decades now, and penetrated systems on many levels. Heck, the only way that i would be moderately sure that nothing really bad is hidden somewhere in the system would involve Z80s or MOS 6502.
In comparison to what the NSA does the "cyber-attacks" which most terroristic groups are capable of are like a man with a wooden stick against an aircraft carrier with it's fleet.
I dont switch. I start to use programming languages when is see it fit and stop to use them when I see it fit. It is not a 'Everything in one language' thing. Depending on the project, languages switch positions.

I would think that assembly generated from Java has different statistics than assembly generated from C.
you get that when you want to look for "how to disable AI search".

It could receive e-mail. Or you could surf a malicious web page.

So that is what you get from switching away from QNX.

then you should not need any certificate form any CA but yourself.

Some of us aren't quite so keen to live in a Germany-dominated super state.
It's all about the Germans ruling the world! Good that UKIP stopped these Nazis! Hooray!

Just adding 4-5 Models of the Nokia dumbphones is enough to beat the numbers.

Wow. havent seen that in a long time.
So Ransomware would have to gain Admin rights to disable this system?
