I saw a recent study that said the moon probably did have atmosphere from volcanic activity... but only for around 70 million years. It dissipated into space. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii&#x2F

Psst. Kids in class are broadcast all the time on the news. Sometimes they're even identified by name, school, and municipality in recognition for some achievement. Honestly, privacy is nearly dead anyway. I'm not happy about it b

My understanding, the last time I looked into it, is that universities have a lot more administrators than they used to and those admins earn a lot more than they used to. And it wasn't just absolute, it was relative to teacher/st

It's more than just telemetry or the interface. It's about taking some step forwards, and many more steps backwards. Sure, they made an OS that was better for the world because it forces options that mitigate the damage computer i

The weirdest thing is that we deem people as legal adults at 18. If you look at neurological science, crime rates, and even car insurance rates then it's fairly easy to see that the brain has not fully matured by age 18 in most people.

I would argue that memorization of an algorithm or formula without understanding of how they work cripples your ability to apply them creatively. However I would also argue that memorization is the precursor to understanding. I think the ma

Historically the system of checks and balances, when it works, takes years to accomplish its goal. For example, it took almost two years after Watergate for the impeachment process to even start and over two years before it started to reach

This seems really brave (and stupid) to do. Especially when he went past the step of scanning for the SQL injection to actually using the SQL injection to grab admin user credentials and login to the application. I feel like if one were to

I really don't think you can apply any sort of free market principles to ISPs. They're almost all regional monopolies or duopolies -- with franchise agreements and, in many cases, state regulations/laws that make it hard for

Not just Chinese ISPs. I've had Cox inject HTML/Javascript into my HTTP streams for a "test of their emergency messages system" and once for a customer survey. The survey might have been a DNS redirect instead as by the

But most physicians don't work for hospitals. They work at small practices with 10 physicians or fewer (according to the AMA). There was a completely open market, made of the majority of physicians, regardless of existing provider cont

You paint a bit of a false dichotomy there with the starvation scenario. You can easily have a system where a large number of people are unemployed and everyone still gets fed and employed people don't feel resentment. Do you think men

There are smelting bugs in the game where melting down certain items produces more metal than it takes to make them. That and hatch covers (building destroyers can't destroy on different z-axis) makes it really hard to lose in Fun ways

Birds, insects, spiders, etc would probably benefit a lot more from humans no longer needing to spray insecticide to control mosquitoes. And mosquitoes would still exist -- just not the species that are regionally eradicated because they sp

Morally distinguishing between the two is easy. Zara had the ability to pay the indie designer for their work and didn't. It'd be like if Bill Gates made a subscription payment torrenting site specifically for indie games. If it h

This is easily the number one reason I keep most of my code in private repos on bitbucket rather than publicly on github. And also what usually stops me from submitting pull requests on github.

Couldn't this sort of behavior be against the Mozilla CA Inclusion Policy and thus grounds for no longer bundling Comodo CA certs? The same could possibly be said for Chromium's Root Certificate Policy. It doesn't break the s

I wonder what the process node size of SW26010 is and if the chips were actually manufactured in China or if they were manufactured by TSMC/Taiwan. I wasn't aware that China had competitive fabrication plants for processors. If th

The "bad guys" will remove the regulations and let the existing regional monopolies and duopolies do whatever they want. It's a lot easier and generates less noise than changing the rules to be openly biased while accomplishi

In some cities/towns/regions, yes, I would. Municipal ISPs work just fine. Governments already provide (or contract with private businesses to provide) mail, electricity, water, sewage, garbage collection, roads, etc. In an area t

Do you know if NoScript with javascript disabled but iframes allowed and pdfjs enabled would have stopped it? A vulnerability test would be really nice but I understand why it doesn't exist yet.
