I would bet that at the very least our government has tried to infiltrate and not just Anonymous but a lot of software companies as well.
I will state that I am certain the recent accusations that Cruze is Lucifer is a lie. Trump is Satan and Cruze and Boehner are just wannabees.
I need to upgrade my Samsung S4 because the battery goes flat very quickly (even though I replaced it with a new one) and it keeps telling me I'm running out of storage space and things will stop working. Even though it appears to have 0.5 GB free I'm slowly having to delete apps to keep it going for another week or so each time I remove one.
Am I being too paranoid in suspecting the manufacturer and/or carrier are deliberately causing my phone problems?
Data from most NASA astronomy satellites is available after a specified amount of time. e.g. Hubble Space Telescope data are available after one year, and Fermi gamma-ray space telescope data are available as soon as it's processed (within one day). Software tools are also publicly available along with software support.
Nice to see particle physicists catching up with astronomers on data release!
If they are accessing it anonymously surely it could just be one person accessing facebook one million times per month? (Or some other combination of multiple accesses by 1 million people.)
More like a self-driving taxi, I'd imagine. A self-driving bus doesn't have any substantial advantages over regular buses, but a self-driving taxi... might be slightly cheaper. Slightly. It's revolutionary!
I am much more in favor of the death penalty as an option when the murderer kills people that are unknown to them, or are little more than casual acquaintances.
For what it's worth, my comments to the Guardian are these days are now in the category of: "Your comments are currently being pre-moderated". This is because I disagreed (in a fairly reasonable way - certainly not aggressive and not obscene) with the remarks of a British reporter, based in New York, who was making remarks about the situation in my home town of Baltimore. In that case it appeared that the reporter himself may well have been the person removing the negative comments. The fraction of comments removed from all posters for that article was a huge fraction of all those posted. However the Brit reporter (who may not even have visited B'more ) was apparently very sensitive to criticism - even if it wasn't that different from the criticism he was dealing out to some of the locals. One factor may be the "knee-jerk" anti-Americanism of certain segments of British society - who are surprised to receive similar criticisms back themselves.
These days the word 'hate' is being used in a massively exaggerated way, as is 'phobia'.
'hate' and 'phobia' are used to describe everything from disapproval through dislike and actual hate.
Eg 'homophobe' is used to describe people who, rather than fearing homosexuals, disapprove of it on moral grounds. These people do not fear homosexuals.
And calling molecules "hydrophobic" is similarly wrong. They don't hate water, there is simply "an absence of attraction". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
So why do those politically correct SJW chemists have to bring hate into it?
Well, there may be no NASA employees at exactly the south pole, there are certainly NASA employees and contractors in Antarctica flying balloons... http://www.csbf.nasa.gov/antar...
That doesn't ring true. The UK does not need visa approval for US travel. Anyone with a British passport is part of the visa waiver programme, allowing entry to the US for up to three months (plus another three with an extension if you're rich enough), per year. The exception to this are those on the banned list, i.e. criminals and those with suspect pasts from other countries.
Yes, but those on the visa waiver program do need to apply for this in advance of travel via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) https://travel.state.gov/conte...
From TFA: "They’re usually hit from behind in slow-speed crashes".
If this is in fact the dominant accident mode, I would suggest that this is not such a big deal and will, over the long term, be self-correcting as the insurance rates for idiot non-automated drivers shoot up because they can't get it through their thick skulls not to tailgate other vehicles.
So, what's happening that makes tailgaters hit the driverless cars more often than driven cars? Are the google cars suddenly slamming on the brakes in a way that humans don't generally do?
I hear a lot about this company named "Yahoo", but can someone explain me what they do ?
They provide email addresses that are handy when selling stuff to dubious people on craigslist, or communicating with possibly dubious people you met via okcupid or tindr.
It might cost you $20, but how much does it cost the place doing the oil change? I suspect oil changes are essentially loss leaders to get you into a shop where they can find other (more expensive) work that they can do...
On the other hand, as is the case for a mayor on the list, it will be clear that they don't belong on the list..
It won't necessarily be clear for everyone. For the gay democrat most people will think his inclusion was a mistake. But if somebody on the list is a right-wing republican white man, but not a racist and not a member of the KKK, it will probably be very difficult for him to convince people that his inclusion was a mistake.
It's not like they are using real-time data from this thing - it's more like a traditional particle smashing experiment where most of the analysis is done months and years after the data is collected.
Well, in some cases the detection of a high energy neutrino has triggered a search for a counterpart at other wavelengths (X-ray, optical etc.). So near real-time detection of a neutrino can be important to determine its astrophysical origin. http://www.astronomerstelegram... http://www.astronomerstelegram...
when the suits don't listen to the nerds, I'll bet. I'm sure at some point someone in engineering said that this was wrong, that they shouldn't cheat like this. I'm sure he/she was quickly told to drop it or start looking for a new job.
Or could it have been the other way round? The nerd(s) had a quick cool hack to satisfy the emissions tests while providing better performance, and didn't want to listen to the boring lawyers in suits...?
The expected main sources of gravity waves are things like merging binary "star" systems where the stars are actually black holes or neutron stars, and supernova explosions. However, these are relatively rare events. So, for a gravity wave detector to see something, such an event must take place within the volume of space where the detector has the sensitivity to detect something. That means for the original LIGO to detect something we would have had to have been very lucky to have seen something. With the upgraded version, the volume of space where LIGO will be sensitive is greatly expanded. We have educated guesses for e.g. the occurrence rate of merging black holes. That can be used to estimate how likely it is that a gravity wave detection would be made within a certain period of time The current estimates give advanced LIGO a good chance of detecting something. (I'm too lazy to check the actual numbers!) So, if nothing is seen within a few years at the final sensitivity limit then people will have to reexamine their estimates of event rates and/or general relativity.

It is not an error-state, it is Siri's new job as an Apple sales person rather than an information service.
Coming up: "Siri, what is the time?", "Sorry, I can't tell you that because you don't have an Apple watch"
The traditional form of the "joke" would be:
