What? That is a very valuable information, worth far more than the 4.5 million they stole.
List of confirmed rubes that are known to be gullible, is so valuable man. The scammers of the world would pay top dollar for the list.
You don't stand a chance.
Our company has filed two patents for my work. Very difficult paper work. The patent examiners are actually good. When the lawyers went through the work and rewrote it in legalese it took me weeks to understand all the import of what the application says. But the examiners got it, got to the crux of the matter and raised valid and relevant objections. They cited proper prior art. I was actually impressed by the quality of the patent examiners. After all, Albert Einstein started out as patent examiner, just saying.
We were able to explain the differences, and what was the invention and what was prior art. They made us reduce some of the expansive language added by our lawyers. So they are not all bad.
It makes me suspect if these companies game the system by filing multiple similar patents, dropping the ones that get assigned to competent examiners and pursuing the ones assigned to the weak ones.
It is like terrorism. The terrorists have to succeed only once. The law enforcement has to succeed every time.
To what do we owe this sudden attack of sanity on our courts? Has God finally opened His eyes?
The process, take any existing patent, add "But on the internet" to the description and file. That used to work so well.
Internet itself was an abstract entity to most judges, so they did not even understand how trivial these ideas were before. Finally once they learned to post selfies on the net and log in to see the pictures of their grandkids, they seem to see these stupid patents under different light. May be.
The annual deep frost would kill so much of the weeds and the bugs. As the climate changes, the USDA agricultural zones are changing. What used to be 3 is now 4 etc. Weeds that were killed every winter and start from the scratch, survive the winter, start early and spread fast. They even get two or three more generations per season.
The bugs too, are surviving winter. The most ardent climate change denying, conspiracy theory believing, Iowa farmer sees the forsythia blooming in February, tulips emerging in March, crocus in December... Some fields naturalized by daffodils and tulips are going the other way. The bulbs rotting away instead of emerging. These bulbs need six weeks of continuous freezing for them to "sense" the coming and going of winter. Without the frost, they dont emerge and they rot in spring rains.
One of the most productive agricultural belt is protected by annual frost. It has no natural defense against many of the deleterious organisms. All it takes is one fungus, one virus, one weed to afflict the Idaho potato crop or the corn or wheat... By the time we identify and mitigate the threat we would have lost two or even three years of loss of agricultural productivity. Affluent USA will suck the products from rest of the world, prices will shoot up beyond belief. Poor countries with unstable regimes will see societal collapse, mass migrations and refugees...
These consequences are far more dire, far more urgent than sea level rise. Sea level rise is important it will lead to very serious climate changes. But that is very indirect and direct cause - effect relations difficult to deduce, difficult to prove, difficult to explain to public.
Monster Cable has introduced a new router specifically for the Apple HomePad.
It uses gold coated platinum antenna on the wifi. The spokesman said, "It is a myth to say signal quality does not matter for digital transmission. The new Monster Cable Wi-Fi router will broadcast perfectly circular zeros and the perfectly straight ones. All audiophiles will appreciate the difference in the sound quality".
Then the team pressed the block -- like a panini sandwich -- at 100C
People who read news for nerds might not be able understand what pressing a block means in this context. A highly accurate and technical description, make it so readily comprehensible. Like a panini sandwich! Good, someone might mistake pressed the block something like a burger or a calzone. One might even be thinking of pasta or pilaf or masala dosa. Now it is clear. Press the block like a panini sandwich. Good. Great job.
Who asked you to drink it? As a visiting alien you would buy bottled water. Its for the locals. They already breath the air and they would be no worse off to drink water wrung out of that air. The alternative is even more highly polluted water.
Energy is just one of the cost in de salination. Cost of these membranes themselves are pretty high. So even at a higher energy efficiency, the cost per gallon of fresh water might not drop.
Already the Sun heats the oceans and puts so much of moisture in the atmosphere. At least on coastal areas in the tropics, wringing the air dry and squeezing moisture out might be competitive for drinking water. US Military developed these machines that can make water from dry desert air. Now I see these machines showing up for civilian use at civilian prices in India. A 900 USD version making a few dozen gallons for small schools and a 90$ version making a couple of gallons a day for homes.
It is pretty damned humid there and the dew point is just a few degrees below air temperature. Cooling the air by a few degrees is enough to condense the moisture.
Now we produce least offensive politically correct ethnically sensitive and biologicall empathetic protocols. And we apply these to every sub category. That produces research that has titles like, " why hiring the "best" people produces the least creative results"
I mean the bozos who hired music majors as Chief Information Security Officer don't have anything to fear. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is being run by the person who hates it. He has returned all the funding back to congress. He has halted the investigation about the breach.
No body will be punished. No body will go to jail. There is nothing to fear, for the corporate CXOs
The Chief Rocket Scientist of SpaceX took Elan's message about redundancy to heart.
He announced the next Bigger Falcon Heavy lunch vehicle will be made entirely of the rocket engines sold to high school science projects. 3.2 million of these rocket motors glued together will form the launch vehicle.
He said, "We know Elon got his start by building an electric car by duct taping 8000 laptop batteries together. Same thing here, back to the basics. man!"
The ship builder is owned by the same conglomerate that owns Volkswagen. They share the vehicle control software development team.
They German Navy testers forgot to turn on the "generate fake data" mode during the acceptance testing. Soon it will be corrected and all the data will match the expected data so very perfectly. Just watch.
What makes anyone think the consumers of fake news dont know they it is fake news?
They know it is fake, but they like it so they let it slide. People who know it is fake stay silent.
The other day I came across an old gentleman in a party spouting some nonsense "all the laws of thermodynamics are in in Bhagwat Gita". Some kind of stretched argument based on very generous interpretation of metallic (i.e. malleable and ductile) sentences equating entropy with chaos with degeneration. Almost everyone around knew it was non sense. But, why make a fool out of that guy publicly? Harmless, its not that he is advocating bombing or beheading. Politely nod and move on to the next topic, on the pros and cons buying condos as investment properties..
But I could see in other circles similar arguments advocating superiority of our in group moves on to denigrating out groups and then slide towards blaming the out group and then someone saying, "some one should do something" and then on to "you should do something" to "do something violent"...
What keeps fake news going is the silence of the people who know it is fake, people who have the credibility and credentials of being in the in-group. There is nothing google can do about it.
All Chinese look alike and even trained Chinese policemen need machine assistance to tell them apart....
I remember a classic sketch from some old comedy show. Two white guys rob a convenience store. The police ask the Korean shop owner, "Did they have face mask?", Kim says, "no". "Can you identify them?" Kim says, "White guy all look same same"
Yes, they do. That's why we enacted endangered species act and we donate money to World Wildlife Fund and other organizations that have logos of cute cuddly animals.
Look how you are reacting. "Not ALL men. Some men are good. I am good. I don't want to be lumped with all men and be stereotyped. I am going to tune you out" Fingers in the ears, "I don't hear nothing, ta-la-la-la".
Are you carving out any special exception for the women who are making nuanced complaints? Who take care to point out a problem?
No wonder women shun the whole field, and they go take the extra step of shunning all nerdy coders even for socializing.

Dear Consumer ^H^H^H^H^H Product,
It doesn't matter what you want. You'll get what makes us the most profit, and like it.
Fuck You Very Much, and Have a Nice Day.

Fixed it for you.
I am sure it would be carried aloft by the most accurate rocket.
Yeah, look it up. It is filed under my name. 140Mandak262Jamuna

Put your real phone in your girlfriend's purse, ask her to go shopping and then to a movie while you to meet this reporter.
If such basic precautions are not taken, why blame facebook?

Does the posting count? Or just the headline is enough to write a response?
They might actually sell super fancy cards on ebay to buy survival rations of cat food.
Yes, they do. That's why we enacted endangered species act and we donate money to World Wildlife Fund and other organizations that have logos of cute cuddly animals.
Wouldn't renice 32 -p $pid fix it for linux/unix?
