The warrant covers "any communications that that might be found in Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Flanagan’s home related to “the acquisition of firearms or accessories.” Likely the term "communications" includes written communications

Nissan is bringing a new, higher energy battery chemistry online soon, but it's unclear that it will double range. Nissan's execs promise a 65% range boost by 2016 [1]. [1] http://insideevs.com/nissan-exec-reliable

I use a standing bike: http://www.elliptigo.com/ . It's more of an elliptical trainer on wheels than an actual bike. They're pretty awesome, and a much better workout than a road bike. If you don't want to

I should be clearer: I don't think Obama wants to end foreign surveillance (totally constitutional), or even metadata surveillance (declared constitutional by SCOTUS). It's the unintentional collection of data on U.S. citizens tha

Bezos has found and hacked a feature of public markets: you can get away with no profits as long as you're growing. Therefore, you can construct a profitless business scheme that reinvests all profits (or doesn't generate any) as

This surveillance was authorized by the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, per the article.

This is a good out for Obama. He can't cancel the program or he may appear soft on terror, hurting Democratic presidential chances. Furthermore, the underlying surveillance law was passed by Congress (FISA Amendments Act of 2008), an

What's remarkable to me is the arrogance of Kamen, when to almost everyone it was clear that the Segway was a solution in search of a problem, and would ultimately fail.

I think that the antibody test is the quickest, but if money is no expense, the gold standard is probably to mix potentially-HIV-infected blood (and/or tissue samples from lymph nodes) with compatible "clean" blood and then l

Dumping industrial waste into the Hudson, prostitution, and the drug trade are also boosts to the local economy. Think of all the jobs! However, they are are illegal in NYC, just like Airbnb, though the externalities are much worse in tho

Man with billions invested in electric cars disparages competing technology? I am shocked. The fact is, you don't need to have a high energy density with hydrogen, as existing gas stations can be used to quick refuel a hydrogen car (w

That may be the only way, I agree. But because open source pricing fails to capture the value of the software, you'll make 100x more writing closed source software for a more respectful industry.

Here again we see the pain of trying to sell software to open source enthusiasts: the temptation to destroy the author's livelihood by copying their work is too great. By releasing a clone as open source, the copier gets to bask in th

More political spin from Schneier, whose politics are forever fixed. He wants to distract from the clear implication here--that if dry ice bombs could be detonated so easily, other types of more dangerous devices could as well. This is be

That's not true if the processes communicate, or contain communicating threads. In one run, an input queue looks like {A, B}. In another, {B, A}. The source of the non-determinism is just entropy bubbling up from the hardware. EDIT:

Does the hypervisor use multiple communicating CPUs? If so, how do the races inherent in concurrency not destroy the determinism? Is this a single CPU/thread/fiber hypervisor?

The downside of attempting to kill all the magic in the world is that, should you ever succeed, you will be so bored you will want to die. I was never so happy as I was as a child, when everything was fresh and new. I try keep a little bi
