Those low-grade conflicts aren't what much of the US military is designed for--a large conflict with another capable military force like China, Russia, etc. They are occupations and anti-surgency operations. A major conflict would req

Yea, I do essentially all of those things they recommend avoiding. So there is a definite chance I'm making my self a night owl by not using a routine.

I worked on a west coast based team in an east coast office for a while. It was pretty great until I had to work on a project on both coasts. I had calls scheduled anytime from 9am til 8pm.

Trying to convince a robot that you aren’t a robot by teaching a robot how to look at pictures is a pretty absurd state of the world. When they reboot the Matrix, instead of being used as batteries, the machines will keep humans around for

I'm not even sure why they tried to brand a conglomerate holding company anyway.

Netflix is pursuing everything, not just the “prestige tv” niche. The strategy makes sense as it’s trying to be the replacement for cable tv and the movie industry all in one.

The majority of people either have a moral issue with 100% piracy or cannot easily figure out how to do it. Public torrents lead to getting piracy emails from your isp. Private torrents are annoying and difficult. In general you have to dea

If google’s lawyers cannot explain the issues on a way that high intelligent lay people under stand it, then they aren’t doing their job. Most issue at the Supreme Court are highly detailed in some other area of expertise: medicine, economi

It’s more complex than that. Copyright only forbids copying. Truly independent arrival at the same work isn’t actionable. So if the only overlap in code is this sort of coincidental or “there is really only one way to do this” situations, y

Why not ban browser companies, operating system companies, computer/phone companies, email providers, etc. too?

Cable never really had a monopoly. There were always at least two satellite providers. And since the early 2000’s, the local telecoms have offered to a large part of the country. Every place I’ve lived in has had 4 options since 2005. They

20-30 million US subscribers watch Game of Thrones and maybe 2 million will watch the most popular docs. I suspect the GoT viewers are subsidizing your docs, not the other way around.

Movie theaters are the the most effective form of DRM.

Cable never promised that unless you subscribed to HBO/Showtime, etc, which were always expensive. Most of the original cable channels always had commercials.

I think not being able to purchase it should resolve moral/ethical issues. But a lot of pirates like to complain they cannot purchase it according to their specific demands. People used to complain that they had to buy cable to watch g

People seem to hate bundles. And they love a huge catalog for one price like Netflix used to have. I think most people would hate paying per show. And I don’t think the pricing per show would be much of a discount. I’d imagine the median n

Luxury housing is middle income housing with a doorman and better countertops. Luxury housing is built because it’s more profitable. But as new luxury is built, older luxury just becomes middle income. Hell, in DC the luxury places are ofte

I see no reason to believe this behavior is new. The Soviet Union funded radical groups for decades. I bet they never stopped.

If someone shot a missile from one country to the next should they be immune from prosecution. Nobody cares that he wasn’t in the US when he caused harm in the US.

It’s been a long time since I took a class on compression, but I wonder if 4K has worse image quality than 1080P at the same bitrate. Anyone know?

It’s somewhat needed. 15 dollars a gb is just to raise revenue. But a truly unlimited 4G hotspot service would crawl to stop during busy periods. Some sort of rationing is needed.

My newborn was laying in one when I read the story. It was a very useful product, but I can't imagine losing my baby. I'll have to research a safe alternative.

Make the jurisdiction keep a hard copy in every library and city hall / state building that it controls. Contractors will buy a copy. And any novice that just wants to DIY can go look up the rules for free. And the copyright holder g

The law is already uncopyrightable. The issue is whether anything incorporated by reference by the law would retroactively remove its copyright. If a court require files be submitted in .docx mean that MS loses copyright on .docx file stru

My only guess is that the NFL, NBA, etc. don’t really care. The viewers are still watching the ads.

I'm not sure if it's still true, but that was a development that occurred in the mid-to-late 2000s. Before then financial aid was aimed at poor students. But if your family was middle class, you'd get virtually nothing (but l
