It could be that in some societies a larger number of elderly is a drain on resources. So relatively early death (after the kids are grown) is a good thing. It would certainly help the US Social Security system.

Yes, that's a big part of the problem. But when you listen to the reasons to use NoSql they all come down to having the data stored in a manner the application can get to it quickly, with less consideration given to the usual RDB concerns like data integrity and normalization. To me, that's a cache (although "cache" is also a vague term).
Those were all niche markets a couple of years ago so big percentage increases don't mean all that much.
IMHO...most companies won't ever have a use for Hadoop. "Big Data" is a buzz word that doesn't mean anything. "Cloud" doesn't require a specially trained expert. NoSQL is another word for caching, which most enterprisy applications don't do well, so that's worth knowing (especially if the app is trying to use Java/Hibernate for persistence, yuck). Python will continue increasing in popularity because there isn't a better alternative for quick scripting and small applications, Java is too cumbersome for small tasks.
If SpaceX wants to develop a reusable rocket that's their business. If they expect NASA or other countries to pay for it they will have to play by another set of rules.
When I moderated a programming forum that had a fair number of beginners I was impressed by how many were implementing systems to keep track of their leagues - Bowling, Golf, Football (soccer), whatever. Pick one and write a system to manage the rosters, schedule, stats, etc.
Taliban was recommending against polio vaccination long before that, because of rumors it causes sterilization. The CIA collecting DNA in Abbottabad from hepatitis (not polio) vaccinations didn't help though.
I did RTFA. We only have one side of the story, don't know what else was asked or said.
The reason they gave for stopping him was speeding, but only after the cop took a good look at him. It's very possible, likely even, that they knew he had a gun permit. Especially after checking his driver's license.
But I'm guessing the reason he was stopped was so they could search for drugs or large amounts of cash. That happens all the time. His speculation that the stop was because he has a gun permit or that it was based on his plate is nothing more than that - speculation.
Probably more to do with a Latino appearing man with Florida plates than a gun permit. Police along the East Coast assume drug mule when they see that combination.
Minnesota is nice this time of year. Ice is starting to clear off the 10,000 lakes and the mosquitoes haven't come out in full force yet. Detroit has plenty of water too (comes from Lake Huron).
To go from room temp water (we'll say 20C) to all of it vaporized and ready for condensation takes about 0.72kWh for each liter of water.
True, but much of the heat used to raise the temperature and vaporize the water can be recovered and recycled. Distilling is still an expensive process though.
His argument is that a programmer can't make up something of value out of nothing, only Obama can print money. So he suggests using bitcoin as a proxy for some other asset, e.g. stock. But you need to purchase the stock first and offer to trade the asset-backed proxy afterward; then the transactions you describe make sense.
And those who say stock doesn't have intrinsic value are stuck in the dot com bubble. Many companies tried to claim huge book value by claiming "good will" as an asset. Most of those companies evaporated because they really weren't worth anything. Stock in a company with real assets has real value (and yes, Intellectual Property such as Microsoft's operating system or a film company's copyrighted works are real assets).

McAfee left the company over twenty years ago

birds tested far from sources of electromagnetic noise required no screening to orient with their magnetic compass
So (as I read it) they might get disoriented when they fly too close to a cell tower, but once clear they're okay.
That's what water heaters are for.

I think "Moral" is appropriate here, or a lack thereof.

Stop twisting facts.
Oh really? That article notes that from 1955 to 1963 the vaccine might have been contaminated with a virus that might cause cancer.
To say that the vaccine "causes" cancer (present tense) is blatantly false.

It's based on a Gartner analysis. You don't expect them to give meaningful information, do you?

Everybody knows those glyphs were road maps for the aliens who created life here on Earth.

This is a civil suit, not criminal.
Value is subjective, it exists _only_ in the mind of the valuator
You say there is no such thing as "intrinsic value", then you define" value" with the classic definition of intrinsic value.
The intrinsic value of something is how much you can get in return if you trade it for something else which you want.
No, you missed his point.

The government could disable every firearm at will. That might take a backdoor into the gun or watch, but hey...
Different rules apply. Same as civilian aircraft are regulated differently than commercial or CDL drivers license versus non-commercial.
There, you can't get a virus
Unless it finds a way to disguise itself as a driver or bootable item and interact with other files (which is what malware does).
Why in god's name would you sentence someone to 400 years in prison
So 30 years in the future a parole board doesn't have the option of letting the psychopath loose.
