having a sense of humor about your failures bodes well for future successes, I feel.
I was wondering about charlotte, too. specifically, how does it have more streets running north than south? I didn't see any mention of taking directionality of traffic into account in the article.
what do we think the odds are that the audit will come back saying "the USPS has a massive pension they are required to fund, fixed infrastructure and payroll costs, and declining revenue due to the prevalence of digital technology supplanting many of their services." versus coming back "Jeff Bezos is actually a secret Chinese agent working for the deep state to import Mexican rapists and their families into the country illegally to spread fake news."?
Invest most of it in low-risk funds, live modestly, spend on the occasional shiny new thing, and take care of my family and friends. use my time to learn new things, travel, pick up a hobby. I guess being antisocial and unambitious makes it easy.

I realized after I posted that I'd forgotten the whole "a heat sink needs a medium to transfer the heat to" part. I appreciate the cogent explanation, though. my knowledge of the intricacies of spaceflight basically stops at Kerbal Space Program.
I'm sure there are plenty of reasons, but why does the ISS use a complicated ammonia-based refrigeration system? I had always assumed they just dumped the waste heat into space with something akin to the heat sink in my computer.
I have very strong doubts that disney would bother looking at the expanded universe, much less actually acquiring the rights to make those stories. I wish they would, but I think they won't.
I expect they are rolling out fiber in the middle of the country first to sort out the kinks. KC went well, so now they're taking on a bigger project with Austin. I'd speculate on one, maybe two more cities in between the Alleghenies and the Rockies, and then they'll light up one of the big costal cities.
it seems to me, if your password is random, mixed-case alphanumeric, and fairly long, there is an added layer of security against a brute-force hash attack like this. that being that the incorrect hashes will just be jumbled strings of letters and numbers... but the correct password will be, as well.
how would such an attack differentiate the valid password from the invalid in this situation?
my suspicion would be that the hydrogen is expected to escape, and that the cryostat was to prevent damage to the instruments due to sudden major temperature changes.
I could be completely wrong, though.
SuperGenPass is a good option for online passwords. especially since the website lets you customize the bookmarklet before you download it. though why there is an option to hardcode your master password into the bookmarklet, thereby completely defeating the security of it, is beyond me. conversely, the option to have it store a hash of your master password and compare it against the master pass you type in the field is nice... especially if you're like me and prone to typographical errors.
It should be pointed out that the problem is bigger than just SETI not being able to hear the aliens. most of the deep-sky viewing done form earth is done using radio telescopes. the problem with cell-phones on planes is that it potentially throws a ton of interfering signal data into the telescope's FOV. nevermind that nobody needs to be talking on their cell-phone while flying, I'd rather the telescopes keep working (there's way too much space up there for us to be the only intelligent thing in it).

But what's up with Charlotte?

...or does it seem slightly meta that, in a sense, Intel's backdoor has it's own backdoor.

Which starts in October and ends in May.
I'm confused... are you saying that's a bad thing?

I would have preferred "Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure", myself.

and surely the hydrogen will now boil off?
