OR, the negotiations were just to buy investigators more time to setup a sting and the entire payment is bait. Like when a bank gives robbers money but hides a dye-pack in the sack.
There are various laws in computer science that show mathematically that it's impossible for a computer to do such a thing once programs reach a certain complexity, which we reached a long time ago. Unfortunately I think the ultimate solution will be something like a Secure Model of Computation with many restrictions.
Except we should be world leaders and set a good example, not a bunch of whiny little babies who take their toys and leave when someone else doesn't play right.
Alarmism or not, did you really think we could just keep pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere with no consequence? Reducing our effects on the planet is always a good idea, regardless of politics.
If all the fucking idiots in the world had listened 30 years ago we wouldn'tâ have to be scrambling to implement any of those mitigations now, at that cost of billions and billions of dollars, with no guarantee that any of them will even work.
No, I think you demonstrated it, but in the wrong direction. Good source code formatting improves readability and maintenance, which improves quality and productivity, which leads to a better product, which leads to better salaries.
We just accept that most of the stuff we will be told is bullshit
I wouldn't say we accept it flat out, otherwise there wouldn't be any truth-in-advertising laws. But yeah, we tolerate mass manipulation far too readily. Probably because we're all chained to the same capitalistic and exploitive yoke.
You make a good point, but "propaganda" can also just be "truth with a spin", whereas fake news is more literally fake. So I don't think they're the same thing _necessarily_, but are definitely used for the same nefarious purposes.
Get a grip. There's nothing "insidious" about soldered RAM. It has its benefits and drawbacks just like everything else. By your logic it's insidious to solder _anything_ down, because someone somewhere might want to replace it. If you want to replace your RAM don't but a computer with soldered RAM and then complain about how you can't replace the RAM.
No-till farming is one possible mitigation. This is where you don't plow up the field between plantings, but rather just drill new seeds directly down into the soil. So the previous season's roots and whatnot hold the soil together while the new season grows. Unfortunately this is "change", and farmers hate change, not to mention they're already heavily invested in expensive machinery that plows. Hydroponics are another good solution, but again, change is scary.
That's not really possible. What blows away is the finest topsoil layer (which also happens to be the most fertile layer, which is the real problem -- we're letting our best soil blow away). Any amount of breeze is strong enough to carry those particles away if they are exposed. That's why grasses and such are so important.
Why? Because they paid people to make it all work? Where did you think your money was going? Even if everyone there worked for free, they still have to pay for services which means someone, somewhere is getting your money...

Never a good sign...
Bitcoin is not as anonymous as you might think.
And herpes.

Yeah, knowledge is useless and has never solved any problem.

The FDA currently has very weak requirements for cybersecurity.
The 1950's called. They want their ignorance back.

How are you supposed to draw your own conclusions when all your facts are wrong?
10,000 acres is pretty vast, though.
I'd say it's even more important if he's embedding secret codewords in official statements.
Still under the delusion that anti-Trump means pro-Hillary, eh?
Yeah, Russia attempting to undermine our democracy is not news that matters...
Yeah and every computer should still have have ISA slots and MFM hard drives, and all cars should be carbureted. Times change, dude.

That would be the smart thing to do. Unfortunately, smarts are a scarce commodity in Congress.
