Apparently less well known in the UCSB and APS communities you are getting your information from is his other impairment. He died on May 26th, 2011, at the age of 87.
In response to his letter, the APS stated that "virtually all reputable scientists were agreed on observations of human caused global warming". Which is funny, because Hal had been one of those reputable scientists, even writing in one of his books (in 1990) that all of the models show the same net effect.
Of course, Hal, being an ethical sort of guy, lost his standing as a "reputable scientist" when he noticed that over the following 20 years the predictions and projections of those models all failed spectacularly.
What compounds do we use that bind atmospheric oxygen, and how do they compare to the scale of oxygen we've released from oxygen-bearing rocks (metal ores)?
Anyone have a summary of estimated oxygen sources and sinks?
Hmm. Cops seem to think that the benefit of guns outweighs the cons. Hillary's 24/7 armed guards seem to think that the benefits of guns outweigh the cons. I think we can safely extend that to "Every person in a profession that deals with crime, criminals or physical security thinks that the benefit of guns outweighs the cons."
I live on the same planet as those experts, and I'm exposed to the same range of people and range of situations. I defer to their professional, expert opinion, and I adopt as much of their equipment, training, practice, and infrastructure as I practically can. And I'm blessed to live in a place where the people insist that their government respect, however grudgingly, my right to do so.
Holy crap! Unlimited weapons for all since 2008? And no one told me until now? I'm going to get a M240 ASAP! Then maybe a GAU-8.
I don't know if you can connect the dots from 1934 to 1968, but if the NRA hadn't shifted gears when it did, by today there would be no guns around to advocate for the safe handling of, nor to promote marksmanship with. Funny story, the Republican Party is just now having the same sort of awakening: if they don't start conserving the nation ASAP, their advocacy of conservative values is about to become moot.
Gun owners are already guilty in his mind. He just wants to enshrine it in law. Everything else is just a fig leaf so that he can pretend that he's not a fascist.
If the owners of the stores had any decency at all, they sold the "business" to another gun store to keep those records out of the hands of the ATF. I don't know how paranoid gun store owners were in the 80s and 90s.
And made by guys with hand tools in caves in Afghanistan (not counting the barrels, which no one that wants to keep all 10 fingers would dream of 3-D printing).
Crap. I have mod points and this needs to go to +5 ASAP, but I already commented here. Someone hook him up.
In this thread alone, I've already seen at least 2 references to (what the posters apparently don't know as) one or two of the Four Horsemen of the Infopocalypse.
It was The Progressive, in 1979, and it was thermonuclear bombs, not atomic. (there is no secret to be kept, quoted in 1945. Everyone already know how to build a Uranium bomb, so much so that it wasn't worth testing.) And it wasn't a complete guide, but more of a "these are the mountainous engineering challenges you need to solve". Since communist spies had already lifted far better materials, I don't think the magazine actually helped anyone except curious American nerds.
Full issue in PDF available here. And it is fascinating, if you are into that sort of thing.
Socialism has not only failed every single time it has been tried, but it has also killed something like 300,000,000 people along the way. But next time! Next time, it'll work for sure!
How about we try this instead: Start by getting government money out of colleges and universities so that tuition and expenses can return to earth and the next generation of young people doesn't start day one of their adult life with a mortgage worth of debt. Then, cut taxes (at all levels) down to something reasonable, like 5 or 10% of total income, instead of the 60% we've got now. Third, put America back to work by cutting job-killing regulations and keep cutting until we every remaining regulation is necessary for (actual) health and (actual) safety. Scrap all of the current federal welfare programs and replace them with a single system focused on getting people back to work, and keeping them afloat until that happens.
Those four steps will restore the most important safety net of all, the personal savings account. It will also cause an explosion in charity, since the inverse of those steps is what killed it in the first place. Most importantly, by putting the productive classes of society back in control of their finances so that they can raise families, you'll naturally direct their energy towards future-oriented projects.
The tax and redistribute system makes everyone cheap, greedy and selfish. Growing it is the absolute worst possible thing to do if you want to promote altruism in a society.
Since bitcoin is irrevokable, it couldn't be the sole copy of any keys in use. You would still need to either print/burn copies of the keys generated inside it for secure storage, or you'd need to generate them elsewhere and import them.
The advantage here is that you'd only need to do that once per tamper, instead of every time you wanted to use it.
The keys to the root CA certificate in my other example might be like that too, or it might not, depending on how hard it is for you to push out new certs. A small system, like for my home, would be fine. I'd never back those up, because it would be trivial to recreate my root, install it in my clients, then generate new client certs. A global enterprise with branches on 4 continents? I'd plug in a printer and make backups.
My employer is in between those. I'm probably going to order two for playing around just as soon as it shows up in the inventory of a distributor willing to sell them to me net-35 on a purchase order.
The headline is crap. The linked article is better, and the wiki has more details. This is a physically secure computer, not generally. The goal is that when you unlock it, it should either be in the same state it was in when you locked it earlier, or it should be obvious to you that it is not.
It has no ethernet or wifi (nor, for that matter any busses capable of reading memory by DMA), but you can add them with USB3, which gets disconnected when you lock it. The case is designed with very little room between the security shell and the glass or plastic case, making it very difficult to add things without you noticing. Opening the secure shell inside wipes the drive encryption keys, so you'll notice if someone does that. And when you first get it, you can open it up to inspect the insides to make sure that nothing was added before it gets to you.
This would be ideal for running a small Certification Authority, for example. The signing key would be well protected inside the shell without you having to wear it on a USB stick around your neck for the rest of your life. Ditto a bitcoin wallet.
But it isn't, nor was it intended to, let you run Windows fresh off the DVD while you browse porn sites in IE and download warez off of shady torrent sites without antivirus.
Bad analogy. It isn't food vs. clothing. It is food vs. junk food. "I'm hungry, and you've taken away all of the Doritos and Mt. Dew". "Well, why don't you go out and grill a burger?"
If you are married and using porn, challenge yourself. Commit to going without porn for a couple of months, and/or not masturbating, and also not stepping out for an extramarital affair. Most people who try it find that they reconnect with their wife and rejuvenate their love life. The two of you were attracted to each other once before, almost anyone can figure out a way to do it again.
1) Improve yourself. 2) Lower your standards/expectations.
I strongly recommend a lot of #1, and probably at least a little of #2. The internet discovered #1 about 20 years ago, then refined and weaponized it, so there is plenty of self-help material available.
"H.R.C. could have killed this two years ago by merely telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me into it," Mr. Powell wrote late last month, referring to Mrs. Clinton by her initials. "I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini-tantrum at a Hamptons party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these 'character' minefields."
That last part is important. The first bold part, he says the she lied. The second bold part, he says that she knowingly and willfully lied. The third bold part, he says that she lies habitually.
What noun means "a person who, knowingly and willfully, lies habitually"? liar
Option 5. There is no hacker, and Seth Rich is unable to leak any more, because he is dead.
Note that this isn't necessarily my opinion. I find the idea interesting, but I haven't looked into the matter enough to decide if it is even possible. Too busy to delve into leaks these days, so for all I know there are emails in there from after his death. But this theory has a lot of buzz in certain parts of the internet.
Oh, different posts! I apologize then! What a foul lout I am for expecting you to be consistent across two whole posts in the same thread and on the same topic.
How unfair of me to notice your mental gymnastics like that. After all, you could be having completely different feels when you posted those two things. And a third feel just now. How dare I treat you as if you were a human being with an intellect?
I've been wondering if Government is fatally flawed. We've seen reckless, foolish greed destroy lives time and time again. It seems government elevates psychopathic individuals to positions of great power and responsibility. Of course people of that sort abuse their power. Strip resources from everything within reach, leaving behind waste and destruction.
What Big Government has done is bad, but it's just another greedy government action that we, with our low expectations of government behavior, hardly notice. The one that will change that blase attitude is Big Hillary, when all our cities burn.

You just learned that?
SJWs went on a marathon session of telling everyone who and what they were, starting a couple of years ago.

Wow! This company only makes one product?
Or are you saying that they shouldn't be allowed to use profits from successful products to develop new ones?
Sorry, I must've missed those on the specs. I see the wifi now, on the electrical design page, but still don't see ethernet.
Sure.

What is this, the playground? Is the best response you can come up with really "Nuh-uh", the 8 year old's argument?
You are doing it wrong. Just buy two sets of Apple's new $160 headphones, pair each to one of your devices, then switch headsets as needed.
Simple!
