   I hope these exciting advances in science and engineering will lead to... DRAM that costs the same as several years ago.

   How much do we know about honeypot liability? It seems like the last time I looked into this, precedents were not well established. In school, we avoided the issue by only doing exercises on virutualized networks not routed to the real inte

   “The Russians are really good at this. Better than us" I disagree. US LE and intelligence services are at least as good at subverting the security of US information systems as Russians. State and local governments have taken all practi

   I agree completely. I don't mean to suggests that vaping is a good idea, only that it apparently doesn't have PICs in it.

   Perhaps my reading was less sophisticated, but it seemed to me that she argued that we are not morally obliged to draw our circle of loyalty, or responsibility to others, any wider than we choose. Welp I guess if we're talking about Ay

   I wouldn't argue that they're harmless but my understanding is that combustion is not involved, and that is exactly why they are presumed to be _less_ harmful than smoking.

   How quintessentially American, to persuade us to finally secure our industrial surveillance systems because "gangs" will steal them.

   Thanks. It seems like the title changed during our conversation and I didn't know what it used to be, or when. If the title displayed to me had been "Same-sex mice genetically engineered to reproduce asexually" I would have t

   It seems like your objection is semantic, and depends on the meaning of "have." Does it mean, strictly, vaginal birth? Natural conception? Does a Cesarean section count? Does artificial fertilization count? Only if it's in-vi

    Thank you for mentioning this. It is an astonishing story that I did not know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Heydrich#Assassinatio...

    I am extremely sympathetic to this view. I think it's hard for some people to appreciate how others are policed, because they have not experienced it first hand. I have lived in all sorts of neighborhoods, and in some I was repeatedly

    It seems like SMT would create considerably more cache pressure, as well as requiring more decode and instruction cache hardware. I have been assuming it actually requires more die area, and is not (always) just disabled for segmentation. M

    I’m not sure that the research cited supports the editorial position of the article, which I understand to be that wind power is less useful than expected by a consensus of scientists because it causes local warming that will not be quickly

    My understanding is that it is standard practice in traffic engineering to set speed limits to the 85th percentile speed of observed traffic. http://www.mikeontraffic.com/85th-percentile-speed-explained...

    Working in kitchens when I was younger really put me off of mayonnaise and salad oil, especially cleaning the deep fryers. I used to mix up batches of ranch starting with 5 gallon buckets of "heavy duty" grade commercial mayonnais

    Would you care to make a more detailed argument or proposal? I'm willing, in general, to be persuaded by a good argument, but you'll have to show your work. :)

    Is access to employment is an "inane" concern? Is it moral, or legal, for employers to algorithmically exclude arbitrary classes from receiving or discovering job listings? Consider expanding this sort of technique to monster&#x2F

    The patent is for sublingual buprenorphine, which has appears to have been available since the early 80's, while buprenorphine has existed for 50 years.[1] It seems like we're getting the exactly patent ever-greening behavior we h

    Can things have multi-factor causes? It seems plausible that high environmental lead levels contribute (with at least a small effect size) to violence and crime. If a lead-free environment is already violent and insecure, would you expect a

    See PMA wikipedia page* for some documented examples of this sort of thing. The MDMA precursor safrole is aggressively controlled so a strong incentive exists to substitute other substances/analogs. I would regard black market MDMA wit

    It seems a little unfair to complain about throttling in prime95. it's pretty much a thermal virus, right? The other problems seem silly though. It really would be nice if they would just make them as big as they need to be to perform

    I think this story is a stark reminder of the existence of environmental externalities. Just curious, what country are you in? In the US we have state agencies to address this, such as OSHA for worker safety, DEC and EPA (for now?) for envi
