Freight Trains don't generally go right into the heart of cities or directly to the center of big retail areas. Trucks can often be prohibited from entering cities during the day.
With trains/trucks there's a whole extra unloading/transport step that could be eliminated.
Yes but think of the next steps. You could use the tunnel as an underground passage for transportation of persons. And then give it a name, like, uhm, subway or metro. Think of the advancements.
If you can connect cities at high speed, then, yes, it's a huge step forwards.
(even if it's only goods, not passengers, for safety reasons).
I think if it was only 12,000 years ago, we'd have known about it. Physical evidence, written evidence (it would be in the precursor texts to the old testament or something).
You left out the part about people, including scientists, generating panic from the results while claiming the only way to deal with them is to completely change our lifestyles.
Nope, only the deniers are telling you you have to completely change your lifestyles.
They should be applauded for 'fessing up to their mistake, not condemned for making one. This is the sort of example we need more of, because if we can't admit when we're wrong, then we can't ever improve.
Yep. I don't see the "deniers" adjusting any of their claims.
(then again, they're not producing any models or predictions, either, so...)
The economy is based upon the previous decade for the most part. In two years nobody can turn an economy around. It started bad at the start of Obama's presidency and was slowly making gains through today. When the economy looks good, Trump makes tax cuts which is bizarre because that's something done when times are bad to give a short term boost.
Those tax cuts are costing the USA $1 trillion per year (and counting...)
It's hard for the economy not to go up when you inject $2 trillion into it.
The question is: Who's going to repay that loan?
(You can bet it's going to be the main job of the Democrat that follows Trump, and he'll get the blame for all the bad news).
I only hope that Trump gets reelected and has to deal with the fallout himself in his second term.
Any hardware manufacturer that allows backdoors to even end up in a shipping device clearly has something wrong with the way they do software development.
Either that, or... enemies working inside the company.
The *REAL* question is "How is it possible that Cisco doesn't know exactly who did it, when they did it, who authorized it, etc." This is trivial even on the shittiest version control system.
*THAT* is incompetence at a truly epic level.
Not if somebody's messing with the version control, impersonating other users, etc.

lest perhaps embedded and mobile.
...or anything that needs to be used six months from now. By then there'll be a new, slightly incompatible version.
We can do that already. It's called a train.

Nope, it's because they can do it much faster/cheaper than before.
If you can make holes cheaply then it opens up a lot of possibilities.
However written texts are not such old ... perhaps you want to google "oldest written language" or something similar.
About half that, yes, but folklore is older and it gets incorporated.
You think this was the cause of the flood?

some environmental groups say gene drives are too dangerous to ever use.
Sure, and some "environmental groups" are staffed by people who firmly believe that Atlantean DNA has 12 strands.
This does not compute.
I thought all the "scientists" were in a huge conspiracy to promote their false "global warming" agenda.

As a scare tactic.

I have no sympathy for this parasite, he deserves ever minute of a 20-year sentence, but my very first thought was "coerced" when I read the headline.
There's no way this loud-mouth was going to plead guilty all by himself.
The US "justice" system has got plea-bargaining and coercion down to a fine art. It's wrong. It needs to change.
The problem with Software-as-a-Service is you rarely are allowed to know the root cause of an issue
Microsoft screwed up.
how to avoid this situation or others in the future
Don't go "ZOMG, updates! Must have NOW!!!" in the future. Wait for everybody else to be the guinea pigs.
Also: Make backups.
If that's the price of bragging rights then I'll skip this one.
I wanted to see someone from outside the system take the reins for a while and shake things up.
How's that going? Is the swamp drained yet?
...to beef up protections against cyber meddling in elections and prevent the theft of trade secrets
Looks like none of you actually read the summary. Hate speech isn't mentioned anywhere.
Better than going through life not giving a damn about anything.
Next up: Driving around the area with a carfull of smartphones to skew the data.
...and making them viable.

I suspect this is not just a matter of adding admin accounts with a fixed password.
It won't be as simple as "cat /etc/passwd", no.

Or maybe it's somebody at management level.
It is impossible that Cisco didn't know these backdoors were there.
You don't know that.
Maybe the NSA is sending a continuous stream of people to apply for jobs at CISCO and put back doors into the code.
