Many animals can see or detect the Earth's magnetic field. I have to believe those transmission lines and arcing cause some serious anomalies in what they sense.
Government exemplifies Parkinson's Law. With essentially unlimited resources (just raise taxes) the bureaucracy can expand indefinitely until all "work" being done is perpetuating the bureaucracy and nothing useful is accomplished.
State and Federal subsidies for "green" energy is already several times this $50B. What more do you think it will take?
Plus there are very few places in the US where solar makes sense. Cloudy, too far north, etc. Doesn't matter how efficient the panels are or whether you subsidize them 100%
And further, those who are good at math tend to be especially bad at teaching it to people who don't get it.
In my experience math teachers at the primary levels don't get it, and try to teach math as a rote process (memorize multiplication tables, trig functions, etc). At higher levels (college) you get mostly grad students working on their PhDs who have no teaching experience or training
As I read it, the CIA searched their own computers that were made available to the Senate Committee, looking for documents that were not supposed to be made available or publicly released. For whatever reason (probably a CIA screw-up) someone on the committee found those documents and blabbed about them.
Feinstein's complaint is that the CIA wasn't supposed to monitor what the committee was looking at on those computers. It sounds like she has a reasonable complaint, but given the amount of hysteria around leaks these days it doesn't surprise me that the CIA thought they had a bigger problem than just one of their own inadvertently releasing documents that should not have been.
Basically he says that he told his supervisors that, in his opinion, a spy agency shouldn't be spying. To back up that opinion he states that he doesn't know of any good that has come from the intelligence collection. And now he wonders why people at the spy agency where he worked told him to go back to his desk and do his job.
It's not the Indian government. The complaint was filed by an organization called CUTS, whose mission is:
Pursuing economic equity and social justice within and across borders by persuading governments and empowering people
In other words, their goal is wealth transfer from rich to poor countries. Whether Google did anything wrong isn't the point; they're trying to use the Indian government to get some of Google's money.
Apparently you don't read (or comprehend) much on the web. Try searching slashdot for "girls programming" and read/comprehend some of the initiatives being proposed.
Here's a perfect opportunity to get girls interested in computing. Knowing how to get around on a Linux box seems like a better first step than trying to teach programming, it's pretty much rote learning and a level playing field for beginners.
around July 2013, Bitcoin entrepreneur Roger Ver visited Mt. Gox's Tokyo headquarters. He published a video saying he believed the company's withdrawal problems were caused by the "traditional banking system, not because of a lack of liquidity at Mt. Gox."...
In an email interview last week, Ver recalled his meeting with Mt. Gox: "I watched him [Karpeles] log into his online bank account in real time and saw the balances with my own eyes. They had a huge amount of U.S. dollar liquidity at that time."
Yea, that's how a CPA would conduct an audit. No chance of anything sketchy going on with that kind of oversight.
A lot depends on what the developers are given to work with. It sounds like Oracle salesmen talked Oregon into buying a hodge podge of stuff that supposedly bolted onto Siebel. When that kind of technical decision is made based on what the salesman gets a commission on it usually doesn't turn out well.
Nuclear (including fusion) doesn't get in the way of oil. It gets in the way of Obama's goal to fund start-up companies specializing in wind and solar. He wants those companies to grow because they will be beholden to democrats for their existence.
It's nice that the spacecraft is still functioning after all these years. But given the orbit it's in and the antiquated instruments it has on board, is there really any reason to establish communication with it? NASA seems to consider it another piece of space junk.

People labor under the misconception that Corporate America is "efficient".
I've never heard anyone make that claim. Perhaps "least bad" compared to Socialist or Totalitarian, but not efficient.

Right. Because a bill passed in the House automatically becomes law. Boehner will be delighted to learn that.
Tesla wants to open a store in New Jersey to sell cars in New Jersey. That's not interstate commerce, no reason for the Feds to get involved.
Specially at teaching math.

Plenty of people seem to think so

5+5 = 10 Think about it.
So of course the answer is...No
The goal of a corporation is to maximize profit at whatever cost to anyone else.
Tim Cook might not agree with you. The goal of a corporation is whatever its owners decide the goal should be.
..don't you have a concept about an "agreement" and the "spirit of an agreement", and how violating one means also violating the other?
Would you want to be arrested for violating the spirit of a law in the opinion of the arresting officer?

According to this guy, Mathematics is not a science because you don't conduct experiments.
He's obviously wrong. Try this experiment - it proves addition:
# python
# print 1+1
# 2
