Which guys does he speak of? In the recently published article, the subject diagram isn't clear on exactly what is going on. My reading of this is that the "SSL Added and removed here!" note with smiley face is pointing directly at the GFE (Google Front End) server, meaning that this activity is occurring on this server (group). Now, in my limited time as a sysadmin, I have yet to see how any outside party can gain ongoing access for such processes without the complicity of the admin. So, perhaps these Google engineers should be looking inwards for someone worthy of their F-bombs.
Actually, the drawing alone doesn't say much. It could simply be a drawing of Google's SSL architecture as it relates to its internal cloud structure. It doesn't say who is adding/removing SSL. The implication made by the Google staff reaction is that this is something nefarious. Could be. Could also be that they don't know how a public SSL gateway on a private Intranet is configured.
How about replace them once with ethanol-resistant fuel lines. I can't even find rubber fuel lines anymore. Even the OEM parts (1970 Mercedes fuel hose, custom dimensions) aren't available in rubber anymore. I asked. The dealer parts guy said safety regs won't let them sell rubber parts.
To pursue this idea a bit further: Removing observations from the data set in order to build your model assumes that the observations removed are representative of the areas with no observations. Statistically speaking, using smaller samples works only if the sample is representative of the whole population. But the unobserved areas have significant differences from those observed. Specifically, they are unobserved largely because their climate. And since that is what you are modeling, compensating for the lack of data using statistical methods is going to be very suspect.
Insurance companies have a different metric for determining what a good driver is. I seek to minimize my costs of driving which include not only my probability of being in an accident, but the time I spend on the road. Insurance companies don't care about my time costs. Additionally, they are interested in maximizing profit, not just minimizing cost. One way to maximize profit is to expand the market for your product, even in the face of higher costs. This expanded market is made up largely of people who don't place as high a value on their time spent commuting and as a result, drive more slowly. And get in my way.
I'd like to see an emphasis on getting the 'worst' drivers off the road. This would ease congestion, lower transportation costs and push otherwise unwilling riders onto public transportation. But that would cut into the insurance industries bottom line. So they will bias the definitions of good and bad drivers to keep the maximum numbers of drivers buying their product, so long as the accidents they are involved in are of the low expense kind*.

Stop measuring the economic contribution of an event solely in terms of tax revenue. Cisco pays salaries, purchases goods and services from subcontractors, pays dividends, etc. All contributions to the economy before the gov't takes its cut.
... data estimation techniques prove to work better where measurements are not available to validate them.
The authors note that 'While short term trends are generally treated with a suitable level of caution by specialists in the field, they feature significantly in the public discourse on climate change.'
Which is a nice way of saying that the results of this data is to be taken with a grain of salt. But they acknowledge that the general public will probably grab them and run of in some direction or other, screaming nonsense.
Because right now, there isn't a good way to self sign certificates without most browsers blowing chunks and scaring the crap out of uninformed users. And the CAs will get rich of the ensuing paranoia.
Not that the whole certificate infrastructure hasn't been undermined by the NSA already.

Some business people look inwards to optimize their existing business in search of profits. Others look at how the market around them changes. Changing ones business model is stressful and not something everyone can do.
Besides, as an investor, I'd rather put my money where I think the market is going. If management keeps changing focus, I never know what I'm pursuing. Let the Blockbusters of the world rise and fall. I'll buy in or cash out of the trends as I see them.
But if the manager decides everyone did equally well (contributed their own strengths to the team), then they all get the same raise. That seems fair. Except that if the raise pot is known, everyone will grumble if they fall short. And they'll try to figure out who got the big bonus.
We had a system like this at Boeing. Most managers were to spineless to do anything other than spread the raises around like peanut butter. Then they added a 'retention pot', to reward the top 10% that might otherwise leave. This was distributed organization-wide, but managers had to nominate candidates. So it was much more difficult to figure out who got/didn't get the big bonus.

We could produce ethanol from the corn and give that to the poor people. Lots of them around these parts are major consumers already.
replace there rubber fuel lines every year

The reason nobody sang 'Happy zeroth birthday' to me was that my mom was in no mood to sing at the time.
Just to enforce counting from 0..9.

Blade servers inserted vertically (like a server rack lying on its back)?
Just more ammunition to justify a search warrant should they so desire. Pretty soon, we'll all be on a list of one sort or another.
Not on a list, you say? We have a list of your kind!
There are 6 million Mormons,
Sure. You'll take on the Mormons and the combined might of the Federal law enforcement bureaucracy.
Prove you're a tough guy and insult the CoS.

No problem. Just look right here.
Do we have some untested models or hypothesis that demand 100 TeV to verify? Otherwise, what are we building it for?
Back in my sciencey days, I was always taught that one had to have a question to be answered in mind before going off and designing cool experiments.
Guns.
Send people to Mars. While the level of solar activity is low and the risk of CMEs is less.

I heard a great joke about UDP the other day. But I don't care if you don't get it.
You were lucky. You had a manager that knew what a Gauss curve was.
But we have CEOs to feed. In your socialist country, you'd hand them a broom and tell them to clean the sidewalks.
Its a different sort of welfare system.
