Wow. All these bizarre electric car fires are a big deal. Soon, we're going to see a weird new kind of insurance called Vehicle Fire Insurance. Also, car manufacturers are going to have to start installing these new-fangled firewalls into cars.
Your car has had a problem and crashed. We’ll try to restore your paint and windows when it restarts. To help us diagnose the problem, you can send us a crash report:
* Tell Microsoft about this crash so they can fix it
* Include the street address I was on
* Email me when more information is available
Alternatively, you can just send us the car. It's self driving!
At some point you are going to have to trust someone, but you can improve matters somewhat by acquiring Bob's public key by multiple methods. e.g. web; asking for it via unsecure e-mail; asking someone else to obtain it and forward it to you. And you know what? Doing that is instantly better than trusting so-called Certificate Authorities. The NSA got to them long ago.
There's a long term cost here which isn't just measured in lives... likely to hit hundreds of billions of dollars
Funny, I usually hear this meme the other way around. Try and google measured in dollars:
Not all that matters is measured in dollars
Success is not measured in dollars
The true cost of war is not measured in dollars
Our lives are not measured in dollars
Benefits cannot be measured in dollars
College value is not measured in dollars
Now Fukushima. Of Fukushima, you say "the cost isn't just measured in lives. Think of the dollars."
Why is that, Serious Callers Only? Too few injuries for your liking? Not enough dead? 15000 people died in a tsunami. Thousands die annually from coal mining. From skin cancer from sunburn. From lung cancer from smoking. But only two people got beta burns at Fukushima, got treated at hospital and went home. And now probably do non-nuclear work back at TEPCO. And all over the world, slashdotters and bloggers are crying "OH NOES! THE FACTS DOES NOT SUPPORT MY WORLDVIEW!"
Well if the facts don't support your worldview, one of them must be wrong. And you know what? It ain't the fucking facts.
Yeah. And apparently an earthquake is going to kill quadrillions. Welcome to the New Slashdot. Where Facts are Flamebait, and Idiocy and Innumeracy are Insightful.
The NIF just broke the world record for fusion energy gain factor (Q) with a burn of Q >= 1. The previous record was the Joint European Torus at Q ~= 0.7 . If the JT-60 could handle Tritium, it would probably have Q ~= 1.25 . ITER is expected to operate at Q values of 5-10.
This seems as good a time as any to remind people not to believe everything they read, that there are trolls on the Internet, and responding to them only encourages them.
This is all summed up in the ancient Internet nugget-o-wisdom "please do not feed the trolls".
I have enough money to continue the development and testing
No. You don't. Not with the current rules.
Get a partner. Two examples are particularly notable for being mentioned elsewhere on this page: The US Air Force, and Tesla. Save your disgust at the bureaucracy for some other time.
Wonder no more: it is a statistical effect called Regression toward the mean. Specifically:... following an extreme random event, the next random event is likely to be less extreme.
Not that annual Arctic ice levels are entirely random. They are somewhat linked, hence this year's being among the lowest in observed history.
I love reading great documentation. When I have a question and the documentations explains the answer almost as if the author has magically anticipated my problem, I get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
I too love reading great documentation. Documentation that does not change the point of view twice.And then back again.
... documentations explains... I’d like to say thanks to... for proofreading this.
Documentation that was PROOFREAD by GOOD PROOFREADERS!!!
Mining the moon for helium-3 is merely stupid. (1) there are no fusion power plants, (2) helium-3 is crap fuel, and (3) there is hardly any helium-3 on the moon anyway.
Oh and Hanlon's Razor comes to mind: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I can't believe they missed such a golden opportunity. The final warning should have been "Car will now Halt and Catch Fire".
Wow. All these bizarre electric car fires are a big deal. Soon, we're going to see a weird new kind of insurance called Vehicle Fire Insurance. Also, car manufacturers are going to have to start installing these new-fangled firewalls into cars.
Exactly. His aliases should have been completely unrelated names such as "Barterer I Spot" or "Tits Bearer Pro".

The attention to detail in the sets, costumes, and even lighting is incredible.
Just by the way, if it's incredible I won't bother watching.

A postulate such as this requires a probability-theory generalization of Betteridge's law. To wit: fat chance.
You could try "Other Russian operatives are even more successful still".
She had me until Driverless Car. I desire deeply to travel in one of those with my mind in a state of numbness.
Lying with statistics done well! An impressive example!
Thanks, I guess. But I would dearly like to see how you, personally, would go about "telling the truth with statistics."

So GET A GRIP. ON REALITY. Sometime. SOON.

News from Fukushima? Excellent! Let me update my Tohoku Earthquake Casualty Report. Here it was yesterday:
Deaths..Injuries/Illness..Location/Cause
.....0.................2..Fukushima Daiichi NPP (Radiation exposure)
.....2................37..Fukushima Daiichi NPP (Earthquake / tsunami)
.15000..............6000..Rest of Japan
Here it is today:

Did you see the video? For starters, those are uniformed police. Other than that ... she's a loon.

Cheers for now.
I don't need investors
Yes, you do.

Any alternate headlines? Here are some:
"Headless software company buys brainless phone company"
"Rumours of Dinosaur extinction greatly exaggerated (And their mating habits haven't changed)"
I'm sure there's more ...
Well, not exactly. But on the other hand, you just achieved Trolling Level 3.11
And I suspect he should look up the definition of the word Entrepreneur sometime.
