Informed and educated opinions leading to decisions do not work with without rational politicians. A democracy cannot function without rational politicians and citizens.
The first thing I would want in a politician is that they are rational. If they are corrupt then ok, we have to figure out what motivates them and we can work with it.
I would actually sort of hope that the Center of Copyright Information (CCI) would have some sort of internal expertise in anti-piracy monitoring technology. Because if they don't then they are nothing but a front for someone else anyways.
If an organization does not have iternal experts then it can be nothing other than a front for someone else.
With video we can have great lecturers present the topics and even have streams where things are presented different ways so that individuals can select the stream that present things the way the learn. These can be covered at whatever rates the indiduals like.
Teachers then can provide more individual help with problem solving.
Polls like this are a waste of time. They are more a measure of media's impact than actual informed intent over issues.
This is where all attempts at direct democracies and most democracies fail. Democracy requires an educated and informed population. And media campaigns are usually have negative impacts on proper and balanced information.
If you think the Apple vs Samsung patent battles are bad. You ain't seen nothing yet. The more Microsoft tries to become Apple the bigger a target it will draw on itself.
Me, until lawfirms go public and issue shares, I'm investing in popcorn.
What happens if the police do actual damage to important infrastructure. Either civic or private? Or if police introduce a vulnerability that allows the above?
SSD's have an advertised capacity N and an actual capacity M. Where M > N. In general the bigger M realtive to N the better the performance and lifetime of the drive. As it wears it will "silently" assign bad blocks and reduce M. Your write performance will degrade. If you have good analysis tools it will tell you when it starts getting a lot of blocks near end of life and when M is getting reduced.
Blocks near end of life are also more likely to get read errors. The drive firmware is supposed to juggle things around so all of the blocks near end of life about the same time. With a soft read error the block will be moved to a more reliable portion of the SSD. That means increased wear.
1. Watch write perforamance/spare block count 2. If you get any read errors do a block life audit 3. When you get into life limiting events things accelerate to bad due to the mitigation behaviors
Be carefull depending on the sensitivities of the firmware it will let you get closer to catastrophe before warning you. More likely to be closer in consumer grade.
Just legislate that every 3 years an industrial site must open itself to a 1 week pown to own event. If anyone can pown the control system they get to own the plant.
Would make for some nice corporate-on-corporate events to gain control. Even enviro-on-corporate.
Yes this is quite silly. But might as well have it happen in the open rather than behind closed doors.
A) valid criticism must always be possible
- can you imagine a society where valid criticism is not allowd ? B) religions are non verifiable
- still waiting
- which basically means all criticism, investigation, and parody of religions must be possible
a) any patent extending or similar to existing patents, application price is x2 for research b) any patent where similar work is easily found by the patent office but was not referred, costs x5 to continue application once the similar work is found c) any patent where terms are obfuscated by not using the most common industry standard terminology and reference terms x2 for research d) any patent where once obfuscated terms are cleared up similar work is easily found, costs x10 to continue application e) idea registery separate from patent. not subject to exploding fees as above. the idea is open and can be used by anyone. Is a sort of defensive patent. Means anyone can use the idea and it cannot be patented and held proprietary by anyone. f) different costs for patents in different areas due to research needed..... lots of ways to provide support

why does it matter -->> In the course of this month, a quadrillion kernels of corn need to pollinate across the grain belt, something they can't do if temperatures remain off the charts. Just like us, our crops are adapted to the Holocene, the 11,000-year period of climatic stability we're now leaving... in the dust.

Anyone who decodes that devilishly clever code scheme will be guilty of breaking the locks.
All codes are symbol patterns. Just because a code is common does not mean it is not a code.
Nice move government you just destroyed pretty much all of the cloud computing industry.
Huzzah.
Anyone think the Russian system is immune to manipulation for profit?
You want your web company to succeed, you pay the man or go offline.
Ok I just flipped my opinion from "so what the Mayans are just issuing a calendar for the next year" to "oh noos signs of the apocalypse".

Don't mess with active systems.
Even a preacher needs a basic background in chemistry to speak publically.
Politicians are going to need even more backround.
You can't have "the miracle of the bread and fishes" if you don't understand that normally mass out == mass in.
So to be a public speaker he needs a basic high school education which includes basic sciences.

Note that real enterprise RAID stuff provides really good information about wear.
See the IBM tools linked above (and likely the HP ones mentioned).
SSD's have an advertised capacity N and an actual capacity M. Where M > N. In general the bigger M realtive to N the better the performance and lifetime of the drive. As it wears it will "silently" assign bad blocks and reduce M. Your write performance will degrade. If you have good analysis tools it will tell you when it starts getting a lot of blocks near end of life and when M is getting reduced.
Blocks near end of life are also more likely to get read errors. The drive firmware is supposed to juggle things around so all of the blocks near end of life about the same time. With a soft read error the block will be moved to a more reliable portion of the SSD. That means increased wear.

To prevent people from saying "BULLSHIT" to something that is not supported by reality is the most irrational approach I have ever heard.
We are lost as a civilization if we are not allowed to challenge assumptions, especially baseless assumptions.
And is not a MMORPG an environmental simulation ?
Usually the way to find a limit is to run into. When that happens in a simulation the simulation usually fails. Sometimes spectacularly.
Just in case it is a sim, do we really want to try and break it?
So the bigger problem is how to find the limits without breaking the process.
I will not work in advertising.
Why wrap your world around a giant fusion reactor that requires a massive clearance space if you can make smaller more portable more mobile units?

Exceptions are exceptionally hard to predict.
