Seriously? Have you ever worked in a data center? Not a room with several servers, but a data center for a large, multi-national organization with 5-10,000 sq feet of raised flooring? Sending tapes out for destruction to a third-party.
Did they work on US or foreign soil? I think the latter, and I'm pretty sure foreign workers don't don't have to register with the US Gov't.
These were ads, internet postings - not news stories, who cares?
If you read the linked-to article, you'll see that the posts and ads sometimes took both sides of an issue, and continued into 2017 - we'll after the election.
Evidence that Russian operatives bought and paid for ads on Facebook?
Seriously, buying ads is serious crime? I may prefer that the Russians stayed out of campaign advertising, but finding it hard to get too worked up over this. These Russian-backed groups didn't do anything that countless American-backed groups didn't also do...
Tell me Russians snuck into warehouses and tampered with voting machines and I'll be outraged, tell me mark zuckerberg sold them some online ads, hard to get worked up over that.
He's pitching trains without engineers, as small as a single car/container - got it. But loads less than a single container will wait until there is a container full of cargo for that destination, delaying delivery. If course, he could implement a system that resembles truck traffic with smaller loads being aggregated at distribution centers, but that will require touching the loads several times before it arrives at it's destination.
What he is proposing is a system that is as geographically limited as current trains, but managed the way modern truck freight is routed/scheduled, except the trucks will follow their assigned routes at 400 MPH.
The agreement has to be reauthorized every 90 days - trump is simply choosing not to reauthorize the deal after signing off on it for the past (almost) year and a half every three months.
...Because without this lousy deal we'd have no deal!
It wasn't a legally enacted treaty - never went to Congress for approval as all treaties must.
We were prevented from inspecting numerous locations considered 'military' by Iran's leaders - which is the most likely place to develop a nuclear program.
Even the staunchest supporter of this deal will admit that Iran has a history of lying - yet supporters argue that we have to accept their kids or we have no deal!
As I type this the news on tv is showing me Schumer, Menendez, and other democrats speaking AGAINST the Iran deal in 2015 - who now oddly embrace the deal they were against because Trump ended it.
Requiring a government-issued ID is racist and disproportionately impacts women and minorities.
I know this because Attorney General Eric Holder told me that a press conference about voter-ID laws he held inside a courthouse where, I kid you not, you needed to present gov't ID to hear him speak about how racist and discriminatory requiring a gov't ID is!
Hyperloop transport is not going to be like vacuum tubes - it will resemble train travel - it will be folly to think a chef in Texas can decide to feature Jersey Tomatoes on their dinner menu and be able to order them in the morning and have them for dinner that night, fresh from Jersey.
To meet a manufacturer's Just In Time needs, their supplier needs to be the warehouse.
You are assuming that only guilty people get convicted. When the Innocence Project first started using DNA, they found that 10% of convicts couldn't have committed the crimes. That doesn't mean the other 90% are all guilty, just that 10% is the floor on wrongful convictions.
For a few select categories of crimes, not all.
How many white collar criminals has the innocence project freed on DNA evidence? How many drug traffickers have been set free by the innocence project? Etc.
That savings is limited by how quickly you can get those materials from your supplier. If getting the stuff you need to fill orders is slow and unreliable, you have no choice but to stock those materials.
Or you could just order your supplies four days earlier and save on shipping charges.
I'm trying to imagine a scenario where a responsible manufacturing concern would need some necessary component in under 4 hours and would be willing to pay for this hyper loop service.
Of course, to make such deliveries worthwhile:
A) your supplier needs to me very close to a hyper loop 'station' - what good is. 4 hour delivery time if it takes 6-8 hours to get the goods to the hyper loop station?
B) their goods need to be packed in hyper loop friendly containers (like shipping containers) before you even order it - if they wait till you order the goods, that just extends the amount of time between placing an order and having it actually start moving towards it's destination.
C) your facility that needs the items needs to be very close to the hyper loop station - see A), a long truck drive in the 'last mile' eliminates the benefit of hyper loop shipping speed..
D) your inability to plan for your needs requires that your suppliers instead stockpile large amounts of their product to feed your just-in-time factory - what good is 4 hour shipping if you have to wait several days for the item to ship?
I'm at a loss to think of any product that would require such immediate transit, except for transplant organs.
How the fuck do they know vote tallies and the "integrity of the election" were not affected?
Because they are intelligent people?
Imagine is is Dec. 2000 and browerd county officials are inside a secure room carefully conducting a recount. Outside the building is a bulletin board that they post the results of the recount so far on, as updates are warranted.
Imagine someone walked up to that bulletin board and set it on fire. The fire doesn't distract the workers inside who know nothing about the fire, and after an hour the fire department declares the area safe and the board of elections puts a temporary bulletin board up to post results.
Did the fire impactvthe recount? No.
That's "how the fuck" they know it didn't impact the vote tally - the bulletin board is the website.
doctors suggest that physicians and medical device companies add lightning strikes to the list of things patients with electrodes implanted in their brains should watch out for.
Shouldn't everyone "watch out for lightning strikes?
Fail to secure a certificate of destruction for decommissioned drives.
The bank never lost the data, it was migrated to the new data storage facility, what happened was a bunch of drives being sent out for destruction may not have actually been destroyed - or may have been destroyed, but the notice was lost, or the notice was sent to the wrong customer, etc.
Bottom line, the bank lost control of 1.44 BN bank statements from 2004 to 2010 - if you walk into the branch, they still have access to a complete history of your bank statements - nothing was "lost".
So the bank lost 10 years (2004-2014) of bank statements (12/year) for 12 million bank customers, that works out to 1.44 BN lost bank statements. (12/year x 10 years x 12 million accounts = 1.44 BN bank statements)
And...
How long are they expected to retain them? Most record retentions I've heard of limit responsibility to the previous 7 years, which means they likely had a responsibility to retain records back to 2010, meaning they lost about 4 years of records they were supposed to retain. That's bad, but it's not end-of-the-world bad IMHO. Sure, someone will lode their job, sure the bank will be embarrassed, but at the end of the day, when was the last time the average person needed to get a copy of a 13 year-old bank statement?
Bottom line, he seems to be proposing that we take a bunch of vacuum tubes and wires, use them to carefully modulate/regulate the voltages in a bunch of other wires and tubes to perform otherwise trivial calculations?
Taking one thing to make another thing is called 'invention', taking something and and making it do what it was already designed to do is also called 'invention', but only if you are a student named Ahmed, live in Texas and you 'invent' a digital clock by taking it out of it's case and putting it in a pencil box.
Why, you may be asking, do we even want to do this in the first place? The real answer is to see if we can. But the answer given to funding agencies is thermal management. In a modern processor, if all the transistors were working all the time, it would be impossible to keep the chip cool.
Because there is simply no way to cool a modern CPU with it's millions of active transistors!
Apparently this research was approved by people that never heard of thermal paste and cpu fans.
They propose using several computers to regulate RF emissions and an additional computer to detect/analyze the resulting interference to perform a calculation that could be performed trivially by any of the individual computers in the experiment.

First you ignored my assertion that most people have no idea what NN is, then you said something that is just asinine:
Trump's the only post-Civil War president to overtly and brazenly declare allegiance to the Confederacy after all.
How did he overtly and brazenly declare allegiance to a non-existent entity?
It's hard to take you seriously when you spout such nonsense.
