Waste is a miniscule problem. Put it in the ground. Or, perhaps, in the side of a mountain... The only reason waste is an issue in the United States is that the Congress decided that nuclear waste repositories have to last for 10,000 years

The obligatory video from Computerphile and Tom Scott is obligatory. Describes all the problems with electronic voting and why it's an awful idea. It's short for what it is, a fantastic eight minutes. https://youtu.be&#

Libraries have adopted technology in more ways than the obvious - my local library is part of a system wherein I can order books from 70-some-odd other libraries (for free!) and return them back to my local library. I can also physically go

I'm very curious to see how Tesla scales repair shops and parts, especially given that Model 3's will be owned largely by those from the middle class. Will they start selling parts to independent mechanics? (Will we have to eventu

Is there any way to short BTC/USD? I'm not going to, I'm just curious if anyone provides options for these speculative assets.

The notion that a work of art could be "incorrect" is absurd on its face. Just because a game (in this case) does not remain confined to accepted norms does not make it "incorrect". The use of this word is pretentious as

It's not really about his age, it's that he has enough money where he really doesn't have to give a damn. Plus, he's Kirk. He can still get the public's attention when he wants to.

Slightly misleading title. The bill has made it to Putin's desk but he has not yet signed it into law. He probably will, but hasn't yet. Who knows? People don't like it when you make it really hard to access porn. Putin is

China has spent two decades and still can't beat Tor. Bridges and pluggable transports beat it. What chance does Russia have? (At least, as long as Russia doesn't go completely 1984 and monitor all citizens all the time.)

They have an almost unlimited budget, as far as we know.

Traffic data. Waze closure reports. And of course it's just better maps and routing.

I'm guessing he doesn't really need the money at this point, especially given his age.

I believe that most people are wary of defrauding the United States government. It tends to throw the book at you when you do that.

At one point, financial regulations were somewhat optional. The SEC was created to put an end to securities fraud, because it turns out that having no rules on speculation is a bad idea. Do we need to repeat history, just to prove that fi

Value is going to dip. They are speculative. Investments. The big supporters of cryptocurrencies were under the delusion that they were exempt from financial regulations. Today the SEC reminded them that securities law applies to everyone.

We will have our universal healthcare, eventually. More and more people are scorned every day by the perils of our system. The Democrats couldn't manage to pass a public option during Obama's honeymoon period but the country might

Some are beginning to march in the streets, actually. Especially those who stand to lose their lives or a relative's should a Republican repeal bill pass. (Ironically, many of these people votes for those Republicans in the first place

The bad reviews are useful. The positive ones are almost universally worthless (excluding Benson's).

Is there no way to put it out? Starve it of oxygen? Tons of water?

The remnants of the Chernobyl accident, far worse than any other, do not affect the surrounding area anymore. Pripyat could be built up again if there was any interest.

The only nuclear accident that has killed any significant number of people was Chernobyl: which used the most dangerous reactor design that had ever existed, had tons of corners cut, was being operated by barely-trained staff, and the safe

A judge's opinion is always relevant. You cannot escape the real world just because a smart contract says so. No one has bothered to sue over a smart contract yet. I concur with pkilgore in "I frankly can't wait until this sh

Good! We need every inch we can muster in the fight against global warming/heating. And I mean, come on, Miami is perfect for this.

If a smart contract is also a binding, legal contract, then normal contract law applies - and intent matters here in the real world. Therefore, it's theft. I am most certainly not a lawyer.

If they found a way around it, Microsoft would patch it out, certainly. But I doubt it.

The best way I have seen to describe net neutrality to laypeople was uttered by John Oliver: "preventing cable company fuckery". A good example: like the water company suddenly saying that you're not allowed to use your water
