Not that you intend to support this, but many mothers fear that they're not providing enough milk to their babies, even though there are natural ramp-up periods where a baby will be left temporarily wanting more. Lack of faith (or awar

That's weird. The blog post that answer links to implies that even if the timestamp certificate AND signing certificates are revoked on a date following the purported timestamp, then the signature is still trusted. That doesn't ma

There was never a conclusion that certain sleep lengths lead to decreased life span, only a correlation. The causal link has been suggested to be the reverse - that sick people tend to stay in bed longer because they're sick. I belie

Are you able to "oversleep" even when you are not sick? I suspect that the few times that I've been able to sleep more than 9 hours have all been because of illness and/or bad quality sleep. I can easily stay in bed for

If that's the case, that's a terrible perversion of the intended purpose of patents. The progress of science and the useful arts would probably be better served by putting the entire patent system on hiatus for a few decades.

I guess a boycott could happen, or employees might get emboldened to quit or sue. Google would get lumped in with Uber and others accused of being brogrammer haven.

I agree that the full environmental cost should be known in all cases, but I hope you expect that the bias is somewhat justified by the fact that uranium functions as a fuel while solar and battery materials are multiple-use.

For everyone talking about this being merely a question of technical updates, it might help to see this in the bigger picture of a pattern of changes going on at MIT. MIT had a very non-authoritarian, egalitarian culture, as Richard Stallma

If Amazon mines data from AWS that its customers expect to be private, e.g. hard drive contents or internal network traffic, that would spell its end.

As someone who's somewhat neutral on the subject, it's amazing how much FUD I've noticed about Wikileaks.

Yes, I believe the "consent" is judged to have been given if a party continues the call after being informed that it is not a private, unrecorded call. So if one party announces that it's recording the call, all parties who c

Haskell wins as the most nocturnal, but I suspect it's because a good portion of its users are students. It's funny that the runner up is on the opposite side of the abstraction spectrum: assembly. Students, longbeard contractors,

There has to be something that advances the PRNG to the next output. What's the alternative, advancing a single step each time a random number is actually needed? That also has (potentially much easier to exploit) vulnerabilities.

I think YouTube is already trying to do this with their "YouTube Heroes" program, which seems to be about trusting vetted volunteers more than random users.
