It's a heavy black box which emits neutrons. The good news is that neutrons are easily absorbed by steel and water. The bad news is that the resulting irradiated steel isn't anywhere near as strong as it was pre-irradiation. http

What's going on in your business plan that would be different if we replaced "future tokamak" with: - compact CPP-violating antimatter reactor - super-efficient MHD turbine - perpetual motion engine - magic box which will be

You don't believe that, or you would have moved to be out from under this ultimate tyranny. Somalia, perhaps. Your argument is the classic Randist Libertarian one: "There is no such thing as society, everything I did I earned myse

It's a maximum of two, not a minimum. The minimum is zero: low quality expensive food in an inconvenient location. Luckily, those usually go out of business. Un-luckily, you may be a customer first.

It's a little odd to say "vast amounts of wealth would be destroyed" without noting that this is the result of spending, borrowing and lending irrationally. It's not so much that the mortgages are underwater. It's t

You raise the rates on everyone to cover actual expected losses, and make sure that the insurance companies don't commit fraud. Then people will say that they can't afford Florida. And they will be correct.

Sounds exactly like fraud.

I have two Kindle Fire tablets (they're low-quality as general purpose tablets, but cheap and good for reading comics or books) and both have Google Play on them. Mind you, I had to sideload it for both of them.

Among the problems: people refuse to consider reasonable limits. Let's suppose that we institute an income cap and a wealth cap. For the sake of argument, we'll call that 10 million dollars a year, and 100 million dollars. All the

Qualified immunity got expanded from an immunity to lawsuits over doing your job appropriately to immunity from prosecution over anything you did while holding the job. Why do we need QI for, e.g., city clerks? Because otherwise every permi

Heinlein, _Space Cadet_. Published in 1948, so likely on your school library shelves in 1960 -- I'm sure I didn't read it until 1980, at earliest.

It's not the spirituality of it. It's the longevity. If you own your living place or have an expectation of stability, well-built furniture is an investment -- not necessarily a hugely expensive one -- that can last your entire li

My opinion comes from decades of running the department that provides an initial security assessment and then signs up to support it.

No, my complaint is in keeping it running for other people, who expect things to keep working over time.

This isn't running Office for yourself, this is running Office 360 for your company. Not by subscribing to Microsoft who runs it for you, running it yourself.

We installed it, tried it, and paid for a license. Then we learned about the password recovery mechanism, the non-logging of useful things, and the support system. I recommend it highly to certain people, but not people I like.

"installed by default" should never be a compelling consideration for an org with ten thousand machines, or one hundred. As soon as they have their own package repos and automatic deploy systems, it should be as simple as saying &

Do you have people or services at home who would be upset with an interruption until you get home? Plan for the worst reasonable case: upgrading will fail and knock your router offline until you can fix it or replace it.

The problem with push is that the service sitting at the center needs to figure out which devices will need to be re-pushed later on. You can end up with a lot of state that needs action just to get things back to normal. So if you can conv
