There is a mature body of regulatory law for these sort of things for licensed professionals. That probably does more harm than good though

Most things people assume the US government "does" is performed by contractors. Even program management may be outsourced to specialty firms. The more first-hand knowledge I gain about any department, the more I believe this is un

I think misinformation is already out there. I can only guess what extent to which common knowledge on world events is false, but it's not zero. There is an interesting, though not that academically rigorous body of internet analysis

Well, how many US ICBMs actually work is an open question and the recent test results aren't good. You might not have much to worry about.

Let's hope this isn't another BRE-X. The press release seems to imply these are inferred or probable reserves. Great news if it's true.

I never saw that in the Army, but maybe I was in the wrong kind of unit. I wouldn't count on good continuity between statements of the upper officer corps (political appointees) and the operational realities of the line of business per

Dollars aren't directly convertible to warmaking power. The factories and skilled labor that make weapons are a scarce resource that don't scale with mere market capitalization. That the Russian Federation has a small fraction of

Humorous fact: half of Asher Avenue was renamed to Colonel Glenn Avenue in Little Rock to confound crime reporting that was linked to street names. Lies, damned lies, and statistics...

On the surface this is a great idea, but my experience with city councils and planning commissions is that real decision making is done outside chambers and in private. What happens at public meetings is performance art. I've never see

The system may not produce enough energy to offset the cost of its manufacture, installation, and maintenance. This is more common with PVs than you'd expect.

There aren't rules. Casus Belli will be manufactured if war is desired and if not then these acts are ignored and the respectable media will dutifully keep it suppressed. Right now the US security apparatus is trying its damnedest to m

I would be more concerned that Google maintains the language because they do or intend to use it for one of their surveillance or monetization schemes.

The status quo is the progressive theology. If billionaires fund your advocates, you have most of the elected representation, and the state-sanctioned press amplifies your views, then you're not challenging anything.

I think so much illegal surveillance has been outsourced to the somewhat-private sector, which is so widely abused, that the only obstacle is a plausible explanation that the information could have been obtained lawfully. All disappointing

Reduce the massive amount of dysfunction in heavy civil construction project delivery. If you only knew how bad things really are.

That your only criteria for judging a historical figure is whether or not he's an unconditional supporter of your favorite ethnic group doesn't come off as very objective.

What makes something scientific are falsifiable statements supported by careful observation and tests in controlled conditions. Not titles. Not affiliation with institutions. Recognition by the press or government is irrelevant to the truth

I'm not that optimistic about an algorithm producing useful results from a text-based description given the solution space is any possible combination of any number of shapes. The data structure for 3D objects also depends on your soft

Personally I think this crime forum just democratized whatever unethical activity 23andme was probably doing anyway.

Compounding interest on savings for most of us is much less than inflation, so the purchasing power of work done gradually dwindles to nothing over time. Pretty depressing.

So no roads? I don't normally think of mass famine as sustainable, but I suppose it is in a way. I'd like to opt out, personally.

I suppose you can move to Venice Beach sleep outside and just queue up for the soup kitchen a couple times and shoot up all afternoon.

A surprising amount of important systems work because nobody can he bothered to mess with them. I think the takeaway is that most people are good, but perhaps also a bit lazy.

I wouldn't be that shocked if four students with no budget produced a better product than the Mozilla Corporation.

I am really confused about the modern meaning of "conspiracy theory" because hyper-urbanism and reduction or outlawing personal travel for middle class people are open progressive policy goals.

I think key investors and patent holders in mRNA technology, which had been until recently waz a significant sunk cost, had made some manner of cost-benefit analysis and were satisfied with the results.

Typical narcissist. I'll always think of Nate Silver as the bedraggled man with a mid-range stare on election night 2016. Silver's utility is limited to knowing what the establishment talking points are.

Google has more revenue and it engaged in aggressive anticompetitive practices, like breaking compatibility with competing browsers on its own popular web properties. I assume there is some relationship between Google and the US security ma
