'Nuclear family' teams have to be small - the folks you work every day with on a single topic. In a given large system, you can and should have many small teams working independently. Another small team should act as the 'curator' or 'middl

Gold isn't money, and it's not a store of value, any more than any other tangible asset is. I don't know ANY STORE ANYWHERE that takes gold as payment. That means it's not money. You can pawn it or sell it, which exchanges gold for actual

There are an effectively unlimited number of potential vulnerabilities in every possible way to accept payment over the Internet. These are not covered as part of the PCI compliance requirements, as they're not compliance related - there's

That's a funny statement, given that GM, even in their crippled state, is the 1st or 2nd largest seller of autos in the world (Toyota and GM have traded places a few times this year, I think?). For terribly designed autos that nobody wante

You're right, I misunderstood the integration. It still seems like it's optimizing for the wrong thing for the vast majority of linux users. The # of linux servers, which don't care about boot time (or where software init is a very tiny pa

systemd doesn't appear to solve a problem, it seems to just add a layer of indirection and complication, as well as a single point of failure for ALL system startup services, rather than letting each service just handle it's own deal. `init

I have this conversation with my wife occasionally. Those moving goalposts are the difference between 'doing ok' and 'making progress'. I had a solid job, benefits, place of my own to live, friends, and a spouse at 25. I went stir-crazy th

Alternatively, it points to the economic irrelevance of anything more than a basic education to the majority of the production class. You don't need to know much to crank a wrench on an assembly line. Unfortunately, that type of work is slo

Regarding #7: Why? I would have absolutely hated that in school. How does having a kid who's good at Algebra teaching a younger kid who's not so good at Algebra help the kid who's good at all? If he's already good at it, teaching it shoul

If you buy tickets to a concert, and then something comes up where you can't make it, do you get to go again for free? I don't see this as being unreasonable, especially for $5 with no licensing or DRM or anything around it.

It's large, and powered by a jet engine(s) - I'm not sure how feasible 'just trap it in a net' would be. It's also, from what I understand, VERY slow - so much so that other aircraft have trouble going slow enough to keep pace with it.

I'd imagine such super users get Name/Codeword/Purpose briefs to cross reference, rather than access to the information itself, as clearance to know is not a need to know.

I'm not aware of one. In some cases, the information will just be disclosed, and you'll be forced to sign the paperwork and be 'read in' after the fact. As long as you have a legitimate need to know, that's fine.

SCI is 'Sensitive' compartmentalized information, not 'secret'. SCI information can be SECRET or TOP SECRET (or, in theory, FOUO, although that would be weird). Not all SCI compartments are codeworded, some just have names or acronyms (e.g
