Apparently you didn't RTFA, bacause that was explained (Roughriders is one of the nicknames under consideration):
On the North Dakota Secretary of State's website, there are five registered entities in good standing that include Roughriders, including a motorcycle club, an apothecary and a welding company.
Allied bombings and sabotage by resistance fighters contributed as well. It's possible the German physicists could have made more progress if they had secure places to do their work like Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Hanford. And of course the Nazis sabotaged themselves by chasing off the best scientists in Europe.
Heisenberg himself... calculated that the Americans had just managed to refine 500kg of U235 in order to make a bomb. An overestimate by about a factor of ten.
As it turned out, the Americans also overestimated the amount of material needed by another factor of ten. They had enough material for over twenty. but they used it all on three bombs.
He wasn't arrested. He hasn't been charged with any crime. He made something that looked like it could be a trigger for a bomb so they investigated. That is all.
The root cause in developing countries for the high expense and lack of competition is corruption. Bribes are required to install any infrastructure, which adds to the cost. And those who control the infrastructure have no incentive to make it available at low cost, their pockets are already lined.
Not that anyone here has ever made fun of Trump's appearance. Especially that ridiculous looking hair; who would mock him because he wears what looks like a disemboweled children's plush toy on his head?
He wasn't just any "nerdy brown kid". His father is fairly well known as a spokesman trying to calm anti-islam rhetoric. Of course that shouldn't make the kid any more of a suspect, the teachers and police clearly over reacted because they knew the family. But again, he wasn't just some random kid.
If you bring in high value employees you have essentially scored for free all their education and development.
Not really. What you have really done is given the person subsidized training that they can take back to their home country. Then the job that should have been filled by a local is gone forever.
If there was an atmospheric test there should have been detectable amounts of radioactive fallout.
There was some radiation detected in Australia consistent with a small, clean bomb near South Africa. For political reasons, the US (Jimmy Carter) didn't want to find any proof that a nuclear bomb was detonated. They sent a couple of planes to the general vicinity as a token effort but didn't really search the correct location.
When you consider that there are definitely millions of planets in the habitable zones of their stars within our Milky Way galaxy alone, the possibility that there's intelligent life on at least one of them, right now, is tantalizing
I'm thinking there might be one under our own feet
WTIA leaders believe an apprenticeship program can contribute quickly, providing a non-traditional route into the technology industry, specifically to the high-paying jobs at its heart: software development engineers and technical project managers.
(WTIA CEO Michael Schutzler says)...“When you graduate from college—even if you graduate from UW or MIT or Stanford—basically what you know is some mechanics about coding,”
Really? Someone with a degree from MIT or Stanford is no more qualified for a software development engineer or technical project manager role than an apprentice who just finished a 16 month internship? He really thinks that?
The filing gives the government the right to file the charges again if it chooses.
So the schematics were for something else, not a "pocket heater". But apparently he did send the schematics for something back to China. And he still could be prosecuted.
No, he wasn't. He had a PhD and was already known as one of the top theoretical physicists in the world when the patent office hired him to be an expert witness (because nobody else at the office understood the patents being challenged, the first involved inertial navigation). He took the job to make some money while waiting for offers from the elite European universities.
What if, after the very first protest, police could identify the names and home addresses of all the social hub people in the community.
They didn't need to, they just waded in with nightsticks, cracking heads and arresting everyone present. Today they can't do that because everyone carries a video recorder. Life has changed, but not as much as you seem to think.
No where does it say they are confused or befuddled. They're pissed, and would like things to change. But they understand that there is cynicism and why it is present.
Feynman was there, he even supervised the team running the ENIAC for a while. But he was a pretty junior contributor at that point. He does mention seeing the room full of women doing calculations in his autobiography.
You are judging from a Western perspective. I've heard that in Asian countries a woman working as a courtesan doesn't offend at all. Who are we to say we're right and they're wrong?
There seem to be very few combinations that meet all three criteria. I wonder if these folks can take their theories and let their computers search for some new, good combinations.
More likely what they'll find is that the well known and simple knots in use are optimal - bowline, cleat hitch, square knot, and clove hitch meet all of the criteria quite well, and cover most needs.
The female programmer mentioned in the summary doesn't seem upset at all, just focusing on her work. But the cheerleader playing ping-pong in those high heels is asking for a broken ankle.
I take that as a dig at all those who were outraged yesterday when National Geographic announced it was selling its media outlets to Murdoch. Pot, meet kettle.

I presume that all the 5-star reviews are from people happy about how easy this app made switching away from Android
Why would you presume that? Astroturfing is far more likely.

They might use block chain technology to track their own transactions. They don't care about bitcoin.

Zuck explicitly says that that's not what Facebook is building, but a way to express empathy
I don't care what "Zuck" has done.

Einstein was a patent clerk
No, he wasn't. He had a PhD and was already known as one of the top theoretical physicists in the world when the patent office hired him to be an expert witness (because nobody else at the office understood the patents being challenged, the first involved inertial navigation).

carrying out algorithms handed to them by Feynman
Feynman was there, he even supervised the team running the ENIAC for a while. But he was a pretty junior contributor at that point. He does mention seeing the room full of women doing calculations in his autobiography.
And yet physics cannot explain consciousness
Nor should it. Consciousness is a human invention, something we tell ourselves that we have even though it only exists in our minds.

Oh wait, he said *knots*
Look up the term "per capita"
