What magical resources provide "secure and reliable network uplink/downlink" without having a physical footprint on the ground?
What magical resources eliminate the high latency of satellite uplinks, which makes things like drones, fire control systems, and real-time intelligence systems next-to-useless?
Lets say I am a competing hacking company, I have two options keep the source to my self and try to steal their market share with a copycat product, or release their source code making their IP worthless and easy to defend against while offering my own product that got past the hacker group. I would prefer the option where my competitor's reputation is tarnished and products are useless.
While I am happy that Hacking Team got their comeuppance I am not ready to support their new found nemesis. This could be nothing more then a turf war and the last thing I want is another set of more cunning bad guys getting their seed money from me.
There is no evidence that completely avoiding, smoking, milk, sugar, alcohol, processes foods, or the deadly gluten will cause you to age any slower. Most of it is genetics my dad smoked from 15 - 35 and if we compare pictures there is not that much difference in our complexion we both have wrinkles at the same age, the same goes for my brothers who also don't smoke. I am by no means saying doing any of these things in excess will not have consequences but each of these fad diets that cuts out the evil food de jour has shown the same effectiveness. First it was cutting out fats and evil red meat, then some fish became bad, then it was sugar, then all carbs, now it is gluten and processed foods. I would rather enjoy my scotch, cookies, Cheetos, steak, and bacon and die early enjoying life then live longer eating soylent green.
Harassment by a sub is reason to remove the sub and ban the administrators it just needs to be applied to every sub. There are a few radical feminists subs that acted the same way and were just put on double secret probation. I'm all for getting rid of the garbage that stinks up a site but don't play favorites because the sub shares the same political viewpoints as the CEO.
By the same token users are allowed to be upset when the site they are using changes and they don't like it./. has gone through similar issues, the whole beta fiasco comes to mind and fortunately./ decided to back off from those changes.
Ore for rare earth minerals is rare, while there may be an abundance of the minerals there is no money to be made in mining and refining them in most locations. Ore is only found when the cost to mine and refine is less then market value, significant increases in prices and/or significant increases in refining would need to be made for there to be enough ore.
There currently is no where near enough manufacturing capacity to build enough solar panels, wind mills, or batteries to supply the world with its electricity needs in the next two decades. Running purely on renewables is not a realistic option. Even if manufacturing was magically ramped up it still wouldn't be possible unless the materials used changes there will not be enough rare earth minerals to support that many solar panels, wind farms, or batteries.
You seem to be missing a lot, so I'll try to clarify the issues. When there is a 30% increase in the size of a town you need 30% more houses, 30% more food, 30% more water, a fire department that can handle 30% more fires, 30% more crimes. None of those are the real issue, the real issue is the 30% voting block that could elect Mayor Crazy Pants and turn their town into crazy town where florescent lights are banned neon lights are banned all on the whim of a crazy person.
Are they interfering with your life?
No?
Then shut the hell up and mind your own business.
That's what the people in the town are tying to do but crazy people are demanding that they stop using using neon lights in their business, stop using florescent lights in their business.
Or maybe Luhnow or one of the employees that followed him to the Astros kept his password the same and the database was just similar. The Cardinals didn't seem to find any evidence that Luhnow stole IP when they accessed the database, which is what the Cardinals claimed they were doing.
There is science and innovation around all sports, you just have to be bright enough to notice it. Take baseball the batter has to be smart enough to know that the pitcher only throws certain pitches during certain counts and that there are slight differences in the release of different pitches giving the batter a better chance to hit the ball. Same with football you need to have excellent pattern recognition to know what the defense is going to do and what you can do to maximize your teams chance at success. Even something as simple as running has tons of science in it, knowing how hard to train, what type of training, and how fast the person can recover. I didn't even mention the science that goes into clothing and shoes. There are very few dumb jocks that succeed in professional sports, talent alone will not get you to the professional level you need something more.
Diagonal lines on 1080p still have "steps". The resolution is not high enough until those go away without anti-aliasing.
A 256k resolution tv will have steps in a diagonal line the question is how close do you need to get to see them. A 100" television is going to be the upper end of TV size no matter how cheap they get just due to the size. 3' away is as close as you can get to a 100" television without the screen being outside your field of view, but that includes peripheral vision where you can't focus,see color, or track movement very well. 30 degrees is about the max you can focus on so 5' is as close as you can get and keep the whole screen in your near peripheral vision. On a 100" 8k TV the pixel size would be 0.01" at 5' you can't see those edges and you won't be able to see a 0.02" pixel on a 4k TV at 5' either.
The issue with 8k televisions is that you can't get close enough to see aliasing effects without getting so close you can't see all the screen, 4k televisions are just on the other side of that ratio too so there is no need to get a larger resolution. The only use for 8k televisions is immersive experiences where you are not meant to see everything at once but that is not typical home entertainment experience.
The parent is exaggerating more then a bit. After the house passes a bill it will go to a senate committee it's not one Senator but rather many that need to be bribed to keep the bill in committee with out the public knowing who was blocking the bill, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources has 22 members. The last ditch effort would be for them to bribe the senate majority leader, the one who schedules votes on bills, this is public so it would have to be a very big bribe.
FYI cellphone resolution is at 1080p so you can hook your phone up to you 1080p television and keep it in it's native resolution. The reason there is no point in going above 4k is consumer electronics are not large enough to justify the huge files and large bandwidth usage. When 200" screens start becoming normal in homes 8k will have a place but that is not going to happen in the near future, most people don't have a place to put an eight foot by 14 foot TV in their homes.
I can see math was not your strong suit. The only way this would be feasible is if the people that didn't utilize this program are paying enough to make up for the people that utilize the program and don't pay German taxes.
My guess is that the 2.3M is for upgrades to their hypersonic windtunnel facility, it was probably more along the lines of if you want these 8 projects to test here you need to make these upgrades. As you said I can't see the money being very useful on a long term research project.
All the doctors I have been to have an accounts person or people that handle the claims and billing. It may be the case that the person they hired is not qualified to manage healthcare claims and billing as the process has changed a great deal over the last 10 years, but I would not stick this on the doctors.
Companies that employ drivers now have a new test they can perform on their employees, I don't know about you but I have no problem with companies testing their drivers for drug use.
The common core teacher evaluation works just fine, the way it works is simple the students all had to take the tests the year prior and can be given a percentile rank. If the majority go down the teacher is not performing, the variations in performance from class to class are normalized with the prior year's performance it's not as big an issue as the teachers unions make it out to be.
Charter schools are the way to go for one simple reason, if they perform poorly they can be shut down, when a public school performs poorly they are generally given more money to fix the problem. The cost per student is much higher at public schools then private/charter schools. Public schools spend $13,041 per student per year while nonreligious private spends $8,549, charter $8,001, and Catholic $6,018. On top of that charter schools outperform their neighboring public schools even though there is not a difference in demographics. I still don't understand why people think poor performing over funded public schools are the answer.
The problem with making the internet a tier II common carrier is that it will get all the regulations and control of a tier II common carrier along with a right of way to telephone poles and net neutrality. A much better solution would be to allow the internet right of way access and net neutrality, unfortunately this requires congress to create another classification which doesn't seem likely to happen in the current political climate.
Oh, I see the problem. You think local government owns the telephone poles. Nope. The *electric power company* (or sometimes the phone company) owns the poles.
It's not the gubmint, it's a single private company with the power to control who gets to compete, because it owns the poles and there's no room on the street to put in more.
The government use right of way laws to force private land owners to have telephone poles on their property, they did this as the poles were for a common good. The right of way laws allowed telephone, cable and power companies all access to the poles but not ISPs. Essentially they allowed a third party confiscate property and only forced them to share with two other groups as a condition of letting them confiscate it. Then a third party comes along and can make the same common good argument but was not granted right away access.

Really, you can't follow the code without English comments?
I pray you don't write any software that other people have to use. Most companies will flat out reject code if it has not been properly documented.

I was going to say this sounds like the ISPs business model.

Exactly you may not be specifically targeted but your identity and financial information certainly are targeted along with everyone else's.

Scientology on the other hand basically is the BMG CD club of religion.
Be nice to BMG they are charging $20 for a $10 cd not $10,000 for a $5 science fiction novel.
