Why do you think it happened? I'm asking in good faith because I am in a liberal bubble, and I feel strongly that more empathy and willingness to listen is needed from my cohort.

That's exactly the idea behind the term "smart grid". Rather than a network which has a relatively static set of inputs and outputs, new nodes in either category can join the network at any time. The US is doing research on s

Nobody (credible) says so outright, but by dismissing the concerns of either group who says one or the other, it is said implicitly. I felt that Michael Jordan, of all people, issued one of the more competent statements on the matter. He hi

The failing business and laid off workers combined with executive compensation increases/bonuses is very much an example of why Sanders and Trump are so popular, and why candidates like them (or more extreme) will come out of the woodw

Fair, but we are not expecting manufacturers to make bullet-proof devices. We are expecting them to make devices that do not let you achieve root access over the internet using an unchanged username and password combination. That's a v

Yes, the US' continued debate over whether or not this is even real is maddening. Climate change has unfortunately been sucked into the great maw of partisan bickering, to loosely quote a different Vox article on the subject; belief or

Their customer service has been appalling every time I've dealt with them. I moved recently and was forced to sign up with them as the only competitor option was 7mbps. After provisioning my service online successfully, I received a ca

Sure, it is possible. Isn't it also possible that people who hear a powerful man blaming protesters, the press and immigrants for their troubles would get angry and lash out at them?

How about the violence at Trump rallies towards protesters and journalists? Or the case of Trump supporters beating a homeless Hispanic man, about which Trump noted "my supporters are very passionate"? Let's not pretend that

Can you explain how? Not asking in a challenging way, I'd like to learn for my own edification.

I'm wondering, from a regulatory perspective, what might be done to mitigate DDoS attacks in the future? From comments made on this and other similar posts in the past, I've gathered the following: 1) Malicious traffic often uses

What can they do? It's not Twitter themselves being DDOS'd, it's a DNS provider. This propagates up the chain to impact both a Tier 1 network and cloud providers, which hits tons of stuff on top of that.

That was exactly my thought. This may be unrelated, or it may be a test run. But a large scale attack on Election Day that crippled communications would stir up unrest for a variety of reasons. Although I think that's highly unlikely t

That was my impression when I visited last year. Granted, USD was doing quite well against JPY at the time, but I was shocked at how much more affordable restaurants were in Tokyo than Seattle. My first meal there was an $8 bowl of ramen, a

I argued with a friend of mine about climate change. His first instinct was to dismiss it with a shrug: "So what if sea levels rise a little, we'll just have to move inland". We really don't know how much instability hum

What will you and your 7 billion fellow humans eat if all of the plants and animals die? Why do you think that conditions which would be deadly to nearly all other life on this planet won't be deadly to you? If you're making the p

I struggled quite a bit with an existential crisis a little over a year ago. The sense of despair I felt over the lack of innate purpose and meaning in life made it hard to get out of bed in the morning. I recovered from this aspect of it b

I think that one of the NVRAM solutions in development like Intel and Micron's 3D xpoint might have lower power consumption per GB than DRAM given the non-volatility and thus the obviated need to continually refresh the value. So if

What could the economic growth come from other than advanced technological development? Regardless, I don't see how the dependency on constant growth is sustainable.

Can you explain that further? Although I see Snowden as a whistleblower who deserves legal protection, I'm not sure that I feel that way about Guccifer. Though he may have exposed misdeeds, this information was not something naturally

I would agree. I have deeply negative feelings about Exxon for misleading the public on the dangers of fossil fuel combustion while having ample knowledge of that danger (they've known for 40 years). However, I'm a pragmatist; it&

Is there any reason to be optimistic about our ability to deal with climate change? I have to admit that this topic depresses me deeply, as the United States' tepid response does not match the magnitude of the problem. It is shockingly
