You wouldn't use electrolytic capacitors in space because the low pressure would cause the electrolyte to boil away fairly rapidly. Yes, even faster than normal.
As Mark Watney discovers in The Martian when his laptop goes "phut" when he takes it outside of the dome, consumer electronics, even units approved for usage on NASA missions, aren't designed to withstand environments outside what's normal on Earth.
The epinephrine is actually much cheaper than $2 - maybe not in the states though. You can get double the amount of the same injectable solution there is in an EpiPen as an ampoule for £0.44 or 53 US cents. (UK NHS price).
There are over 300 people in the USA for every police officer, and that ratio is only slightly higher in cities (1:250 for New York City).
There's now more guns than people in the USA, the bulk of them in private hands. In a civil war between the police and the people, I know who I'd back. And that's not even accounting for the fact that the majority of the police signed up because they wanted to protect those people, not mow them down en-masse.
Until the robot factories are mass producing killdroids, the people still have the edge in terms of power.
This is why business in the USA desperately needs to push for single-payer state healthcare.
You're spending 17% of your GDP when systems with comparable or better outcomes spend 10-12%, or even as little as 7% in the case of the UK NHS. Most of the difference is profiteering and insurance admin overheads.
Gah, "stupidity" was meant to be struck out. Guess that's another thing Slashdot needs to drag itself kicking and screaming into the year 1999 for (the del tag was added to the standards in 1999).
Part of the reason everything is better in Europe is because of the high taxes. Low taxes lead to inequality, which leads to civil unrest, which leads to suffering. It's like the path to the Dark Side, but for civil societies.
There is a ceiling on income tax though ; you can't pay more than 51.5% when all income taxes are added up
There's a 25% sales tax on nearly everything though
They even have a tax on stupidity being a member of the state church.
Taxes are good for the health of a civil society Why do you think the happiness levels in the USA correlate so strongly with the drop in tax levels promoted by the richest?
You might want to get yourself some Black Blood of the Earth, which was developed for just such a reason.
Or an Aeropress. I find that as long as you don't let it steep more than about 30 seconds, the coffee an Aeropress makes is much less bitter than filter or french press, the taste is almost chocolately in nature.
Cold-brew produces similar results in terms of flavour as well - but it's powerful ju-ju, I've not titrated the dose right yet. Last time I tried it I had one glass of it cold over ice in the morning but all the little wheels in my brain spun all night while my body slept.
The US formulation has PGPR in it. They claim not to have changed the recipe in the UK, but given the number of people complaining it's not as good as it used to be that stretches credibility.
I've found Dairy Milk to be too sweet and greasy and not chocolately enough for years though.
Sadly Cadbury's owned my go-to choice of "everyday" (not every day) chocolate, Green & Blacks, which means the Despoiler Mondelez own them too. The cracks are already starting to show, with their US arm now releasing bars that are no longer labelled "Organic". I'm not the kind of person who thinks "Organic" bestows magical qualities on food, but it displays a willingness to compromise has been forced into the heart of the company, and who knows what will change next.
Sugar is worse than fat. Fat doesn't spike your insulin making you hungry again shortly afterwards.
The start of the real obesity epidemic in the USA correlates strongly with the research that sugar companies paid for that painted fat as the enemy, and the frenzied replacement of fat in many food products with sugar. See "low fat!" on a label? They had to find something to replace it with, and that was usually sugar.
Sorry, but they do. I believe that labelling law requires them to do so (at least, in the EU - this is presumably one of the laws that TTIP etc seek to muzzle by bringing standards down to the lowest common denominator, ie, the USA).
Yorkie has 25% cocoa solids by mass - which surprised me, it's actually more than our UK favourite, Cadbury's Dairy Milk, which has 22%.
No PGPR, or butyric acid, aka "What vomit smells of", the stuff that makes Hershey's so "special" either.
I won't buy Nestlé on principle though. They deserve their reputation as "Swiss Bastards". Sadly, Cadbury's is in the process of being ruined by another giant "food" corporation, Mondelez (used to be Kraft), chocolate in the UK has kinda lost it's taste for me.
Unless they're cryptographically signed. Then I would trust them over any piece of paper, regardless of how many fancy watermarks or embossings from a notary it had.
Signing paper documents, or electronic ones, with your hand, makes me cringe.
It's so, so easy to forge now. I keep a transparent PNG of my signature I made by signing on a drawing tablet on my computer and sign PDF forms with it, so anyone could do the same.
I'm buying a house this year and the amount of paperwork various entities are demanding is staggering - but they're all happy to receive it as PDF files with *zero* means of checking that they're valid. A 12 year old with LibreOffice could forge convincing replacements for these documents.
At some point the penny is going to drop and lawyers are going to start demanding documents as cryptographically signed digital files and the paper will go the way of the dodo.
The sporadic use pattern is the main reason I went laser printer at home - they're cheaper ton run than inkjets, especially when you consider that toner doesn't stop being useful because it wasn't used for a long while.
Much of that is down to a single Windows design decision - deciding that a file is executable because of how it's name is spelled, rather than whether the user has explicitly enabled it to be executable.
Unix got this right. DOS got this wrong, and Windows is still paying for that mistake 35 years later.
But yes, the core problem here is the differential levels of responsibility. You should have to pass a test to get the whitelisting lifted so you can actually use the computer like a computer, and not a multi-appliance.
There is already an effective mechanism for whitelisting on Android and iOS : signed package files, which is all the official app stores distribute. Don't trust it? Don't install it. And don't sideload or use 3rd party stores.
He must be specifically discussing the desktop case, where whitelisting has come into vogue.

Why would campaign contributors have to divest themselves?
The UK National Health Services gets them for about $35.
Adrenaline / epinephrine - fan out the section at the bottom "Intramuscular injection for self administration".
Work for the UK Civil Service. Curlies are in the style guide. *eyeroll*.
A bunch _more_ untrained bumpkins.
Doesn't matter how well trained you are, you can take out 30 guys, but you're gonna have to change mag and that's when they get you...

If they're depending on you to train your replacements, and they know that one out means all out, they still have power.
Toblerone is owned by Mondelez (aka Kraft), the other company ruining all the chocolate we loved as a kid.
Ironic, given that it already contains the chemical that gives vomit it's tell-tale aroma - butyric acid.

In our case, we had a third party contract excited to make a quick quid, but they couldn't actually deliver on what they promised.
