Surely you can mitigate that by using encryption at every phase of your operation? That would be a good idea even if the US government were trustworthy. It's also a good idea if you're running everything on-site; if someone were t

I've never understood how any engineer would think that a plane could be built to fulfill all of the demands from all military branches. My guess is that they don't, but they get to play with cool tech. And hey, the money is flowi

Color me skeptical. I believe the author merely looked at the mean of the CO2/KWh stats on Wikipedia for all generation. That leads to misleading numbers. For example, I recall hearing that a large number of miners have set up shop in

Since they're calling it "imgur for websites", I'm guessing they intend for you to put pertinent stuff up there and link to it from high-traffic sites like this or reddit. If they provided an API, it would be cool for ba
