Right, let's socialize the cost and privatize the profits.
That is not inherently bad. We subsidize the research, the company makes profits, and the public benefits from less CO2 emissions and a stronger dollar from fewer fossil fuel imports (or more FF exports). Win-win.
We can also take it further, and set up a patent-pool for all companies that accept research subsidies. This keeps the IP out of the hands of NPEs (who will just sit on them), while simultaneously encouraging companies to participate in creating shared IP. So we are encouraging both the creation and the sharing of innovation. Again: win-win.
We need to stop giving corporations money for investing in future profitable endeavors.
When companies invest in solar or wind technology, maybe it will be profitable, or maybe not. But either way, much of the benefit goes to the public in the form of avoided externalities. Without public funding, companies will still research alternative energy, but will do much less than is optimal from the public's perspective.
Subsidies for alternative energy research make way more sense than subsidies for alternative energy production. We should do more of the former, and less of the latter.
Which is the worse outcome? Falsely declaring a real emergency, or delaying a real emergency notice when minutes count?
Falsely declaring a real emergency is the worse outcome. Because that means almost no one will take the real emergency seriously. Even this time, only 5-10% took it seriously. Most Hawaiians laughed, and figured it was either a screwup or someone got hacked.
Why is a state agency responsible for warning about ballistic missile attacks in the first place? Why isn't this a federal responsibility? Especially in states with particularly incompetent governments, such as Hawaii and Louisiana, where you are much more likely to get a job because the supervisor is your uncle than because you can do the job.
After all of the reasons that they have found to deny people care that need it, fuck those big boys.
Any system that gives people all the healthcare they want will bankrupt the nation. You have to ration, whether it is by price, willingness to wait in a queue, or death panels.
Although with how Amazon works if they can make it work for their employees you can bet there will be public offerings as well.
Indeed. AWS started as an internal service. Today, Amazon is primarily a Cloud Provider, that just happens to do online retailing on the side. AWS makes 3 times the profit of their retail operations.
Let me restate that... Insurance companies got caught in the market day.. Not by Amazon's roll your own insurance thing.
The overall market fell by about 1%, mostly because of the fall of the health industry, which represents about 18% of the American economy. Some health companies fell nearly 9%. If you take health out, the rest of the market barely fell at all.
I am skeptical that Amazon et al will be successful in this, but I wish them well. If the politicians can't fix healthcare, many nerds can.
And of course management immediately blamed the worker for clicking the wrong button
Indeed. They lied to millions of people about what happened. So will anyone lose their job over this? Or will our emergency response system continue to be managed by irresponsible blame shifting liars?
I suppose the world may indeed hold a future in which only the ultra rich can afford the pleasure of meat on the hoof.
Globally, the rich eat more meat, but in America meat consumption is negatively correlated with income. Higher income Americans eat less.
The type of meat varies widely around the world. Americans eat as much chicken as they do pork and beef combined. In the EU and in China, pork is number one. South America eats the most beef.
No, those of us with actual hardware knowledge know that ADDING hardware only increases an attack surface
Bullcrap. Many mission critical systems require a separate CPU for WDTs, memory scrubbing, etc.
The primary CPU, which runs application code, is always going to be the most vulnerable. Moving critical functions to a separate CPU with its own memory will make a system much harder to attack.
At first glance this appears to be a whole new way to attack the machine...
At second glance this appears to be removing many ways to attack the machine.
By moving access control and security to a separate dedicated chip with its own memory, rather than running it on the general purpose CPU which also runs random apps and webpages, this should make exploits more difficult.
EZ PZ. Monitor the transaction with a logic analyzer.
This will only work if Apple's protocol is designed to total morons supervised by other total morons.
You can't just play back a bitstream to defeat encryption, because every transaction uses different "salt" and timestamp.
... an ASIC or FPGA that knows the algorithm.
Many of the most robust cryptography is based on published algorithms. "Knowing the algorithm" is obviously not enough. You also need time, like quadrillions of times the life of the universe. Good luck.
In possession of that machine, we just fake the auth to the Intel chip and move on from there.
I doubt if the "auth" is something as simple as a voltage change on a pin. You have no reason to believe that it is easy, or even possible, to "fake the auth".
Yes, in our four-dimensional space-time world they are conduits of information, but in the n-dimensional "world" of a universal consciousness they could simply be the firings of cosmic synapses, no?
Whoa. That is like, really deep. It is amazing to think that there is NO conclusive evidence that this is NOT true. You and the author of TFA should share the Nobel Prize for Non-Falsifiable-Physics.

I'm still trying to figure out what his platform actually was. Depends on which of his brainfarts he chose to release that day.
Trump was consistently protectionist and anti-free-trade throughout his campaign and so far through his presidency.
If you are "trying to figure out" his position on trade, then you haven't been paying attention.
I used to love going to RadioShack and digging through the bins of components, looking for parts and inspiration... sadly that's no longer an option :(
Go to Digikey, and rummage through a bin with 6 million components to choose from.
I can believe that anyone is seriously arguing that hardware hacking was better in the "good ole' days".
What's going to fill your time when all those delivery drivers and cab drivers have competed successfully for your job?
Lump of labor fallacy.
There is not a fixed number of jobs to be divvied up, and pointless busy work is not "good for the economy".
Never mind, nobody will believe this.
Au contraire. There are plenty of people who know nothing about economics. You are not alone.

Every other civilized country works out great
Bullcrap. Every civilized country rations healthcare. Every. Single. One.
There is nowhere where you can get any treatment, on demand, at anytime, for free.
Even in Norway, a woman can't just walk in and get a breast enlargement anytime she wants, and expect someone else to pay for it.
Disclaimer: I realize that most Norwegian women don't actually need breast enlargements. It is just an example.
You have to include the phrase "This is not a drill" to get people to take the drill seriously.
After all of the reasons that they have found to deny people care that need it, fuck those big boys.

I think the founders of Google should spend more time on making the current world a better place
Funding health research is making the world a better place.
Just to clarify, when they say "outdoors" they are referring to the big blue room with the trees, right?
From your own link, the average farm in America spends $17,000 annually on energy for pumping water.
Moving water around takes energy, which mostly comes from fossil fuels. In California, about 10% of all electricity generated is used to pump water.
Purifying water and disposing of waste water also takes a lot of energy.
Water consumption is not "free".

Inside north korea, either starting or ending just off the shore of a port, then messing around the port a bit ;)
There are also a lot of tracks in and around Pyongyang. Maybe tourists, or spies, or maybe some North Koreans have Fitbits.
They did decent job with highway system, no?
That was during the Eisenhower administration, 60 years ago.
Do you have a more recent example of government competence?
Yes, in our four-dimensional space-time world they are conduits of information, but in the n-dimensional "world" of a universal consciousness they could simply be the firings of cosmic synapses, no?
