Yeah, those schools are not in downtown Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, LA, etc. Care to try letting kiddies bring in guns to schools in those cities?
Scale, son, scale matters. The EPA is charged with overseeing a lot of very different technologies, any one of which COULD be reverse engineered with enough time, money, and the right kind of people. To presume the EPA can do this across an entire industry much less over several industries is silly.
I second this advice, I did this several years ago. It should be noted, however, that the three credit record agencies cannot prevent someone from getting credit in your name. The system relies on the intuition, and it is only that, that any self-respecting credit issuing entity will require a credit record (and a good one, at that) before issuing credit. If Joe's Bank and Bait Shop wants to issue someone a credit card in your name and doesn't give a flying rat's ass about your credit history, they are free to do this.
There is no national system to prevent credit from being authorized in your name, even to aliens from other worlds.
It might have to do with the inadequate mental health care in the U.S. with respect to other countries. The liberal and libertarian impulses that everyone has a collection of freedoms has been hijacked into everyone is free to water and nurture their mental ill-health until a violent episode brings them into contact with the police.
My guess is the $5 Billion is fairly low. Who would organize the redone software, every two-bit company out there would contribute and then claim they owned a piece of the result. it would be a cluster-f of immense proportions. Meanwhile, the companies that currently rely on it would be SOL for further updates for security issues. Then there is the cost of companies throwing up their hands and buying closed source because every two-bit company with their closed software stack would be promising bargains like crack dealers...errr...like they currently do but now with a more captive clientele.
Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June, 1941. The problem, which you note, is that Hitler was military dolt. He split his forces and decided to go south to capture oil fields. Things went great at first, but Hitler didn't understand that a map doesn't portray just how big the Soviet Union was or that Stalin was prepared to sacrifice untold numbers of Russian troops. Because Hitler didn't prepare for a long campaign, his troops were left unprepared for the winter of '41.
Great generals do not make the mistake of thinking the enemy thinks like they do. They are able to put themselves in their enemies' heads and think like the enemy. Hitler was more or less a pompous ass. The Soviet generals were not all that great either, Stalin had already purged the good ones. Their hero, Zhukov, was more or less a bulldozer driver. He'd have never risen in rank in pre-war Germany. Of course the Americans had their pompous asses, e.g., MacArthur. Admiral Nimitz was once asked why he kept a picture of MacArthur in his office given that they never got along together. His reply was something along the lines of, I want to remind myself what a real ass looks like.
Squirrels bury nuts. My cats used to save them as toys for play when I wasn't around....found an entire stash of hazelnuts behind a sofa cushion after they had gone to the great food bowl in the sky...I never could figure out what they did with them after I had rolled them around for them to chase.
Yep, the Universe is amazingly big. And we wouldn't want it any other way with stars exploding and boiling away adjacent systems. And then there is the in-law problem, that Universe simply isn't big enough to solve that problem yet.
Harummph...you could have the Grand Unified Theory of Everything and it still would not explain Donald Trump's hair. My own belief is that it is actually a mutant racoon who whispers stupid nothings into Donald's ear and hence we get his mediagasms.
No, at that time there was a sea of ball bearings between Siberia and N. America. That enabled the fast immigration to N. America, they were able to use skateboards with no wheels and sails like a wind surfer. Scott Walker has proposed a very tall wall to prevent this sort of thing happening again, at least for the lower 48.
A burning desire to teach people generally comes with a burning desire to not do cutting edge research or be able to find the time for it. So following your formula for unis, the U.S. can expect to relinquish any scientific lead and generally devolve into a bunch of followers who cannot do anything new.
Any academic promoting a project for 10 years into the future will get shot down by the bean counters now employed by funding agencies. The stupidity of "what will it do for the next quarter's report" has infiltrated the government funding agencies, DoD, and private "research" funders.
Except for the business schools, you are basically full of shit. Universities (as opposed to teaching colleges) are mainly interested in research and rather esoteric knowledge. The fact that business decided to use them as gatekeepers is the fault of business. In that, they aren't using the knowledge kids get by going to uni but rather they are using unis as weed out programs because they got tired of hiring people who will say anything to get a job. Yes, the sainted proles also bear some responsibility for the effect you see.
I do note the editorial pages of WSJ have taken a pre-historic turn, but the rest of the rag is still the business mouthpiece it has always been interspersed with actual news articles that would never have passed Murdoch's ok if he were censuring the rag.
Yeah, well Nat. Geo. TV is no gem. These are the same bozos who gave us Extreme Worm Wrangling (watch life and death struggles between he-boys and earth worms), Dangerous Minnow Fishing (he-boys bait and hook deathly minnows while they aren't looking), NASA: The Unexplained Files (UFOs are everywhere, Aliens buzz the Earth, no actual film of aliens, they are shy little devils...but we'll breathlessly tell what they COULD do were they to take out your brain for foosball practice), etc.
Murdoch and Nat. Geo. TV is a match made in Heaven.
No, that isn't it, Apple coerced the government into making these demands so they could make all the Android-based vendors look bad. Anything is possible if you use your imagination.
"the FBI could bribe or blackmail the right Apple sysadmin.", sure and hand Apple all the ammo they'd need to beat the snot out of the FBI in court. Stop watching TV.
Giorgio Tsoukalos is one of the finest deep thinkers the planet has ever produced. One can tell just by looking at the electric hair. Where Einstein failed to find the Grand Unified Field theory, Giorgio has partially succeeded: Aliens run the entire universe secretly. This is only partially true, cats rule the Aliens and hence us.
I think the researchers are missing the obvious explanation, structures like this were community toilets. The ring shape was so the Druids could exchange news of the day.
The only reason Turkey is in NATO is because NATO now didn't want them to be part of the Soviet bloc back in the day. They occupy NATO's south eastern flank. They probably are somewhat useful now that Putin is trying to put the Soviet Union back together again. But they are not respected in the Mid-East, which remembers the Ottoman Empire with a certain amount of distaste.
One thing makes American foreign policy sensible, the fact that Obama is entirely gormless. The man is without any strategic vision, other that One World singing Kum-Bye-Ya, and has no real foreign policy principles. He, and Biden, have sunk to the "blame American first" foreign policy. They believe in a bunny world where the U.N. is not a tool of Russia and China to kneecap the West.
Best thing the U.S. could do is bung a few smart bombs up Turkey's air force's tushy and tell them to behave, and then get real nasty with Erdogan.

Straw man. Evolution does not purport to explain the creation of life, only how it changes.

The tricky part is that very few of the newly minted PhDs have anything to do with AI.

If we had less government, Grandma can come and live with you, yes?
That was Moses, Ezekiel whizzed around the sky on a hover board. Jesus spent his time denying gays the right to marriage.

Yes, I know it is hard for you to fathom, companies are generally in the business of making money.
