No, it's even worse than we thought back then. Recent research predicts even a regional nuclear exchange could create global famine conditions for years (not to mention the political and economic instability): http://www.ipp

I know at least one corporate attorney that says flipping burgers would be a breach of your non-compete as far as he's concerned, i.e. "we reserve the right to intimidate you"

I've been often thwarted by Gradle's anything-goes syntax (everything is a Groovy program) and obfuscated error messages. Also the switch to Android Studio. Leave an app alone for a month and I can't compile it anymore.

If you want more intrigue, the Swiss Space Systems CEO was kidnapped and severely burned just a few days before the SpaceX incident. Not necessarily a correlation, but points out that you can make enemies in any occupation. https:/&#x

We expect headlines to be "truthy" these days, but this bill does not actually authorize money for any Mars mission. There is no Mars mission. There is policy, and a strategic framework, and a critical decision plan, and a Congres

I use that to get rid of the stuck food and a butterknife to knock off some dangly bits. But a protective layer of carbon is a pretty nice cooking surface, so I don't go overboard cleaning it.

Who says it's not already being abused? We don't know how the system is secured, and it's staffed by entry-level temp workers hired by a private company with apparently no oversight.

I don't see why branching is so hard -- it's two cycles to test the branch, one more if the branch is taken, one more if it crosses a page boundary! /6502joke

The inevitable Soviet retaliation would hurt, but it wouldn't wreck the country. We hadn't even begun to seriously research nuclear winter at that point, so we assumed we'd just wait for the fallout to clear and pick up the

I don't know, since those silos were dug in an era when the idea of a winnable nuclear war (i.e. anti-MAD) was a less-radical position. This may just be more whistling past the hypothetical graveyard, which seems distressingly common t

Personally, I don't think its the Pharma's job to track if the pills are illegally prescribed. Federal law, namely 21 CFR 1301.74(a) disagrees with you. And they're not reporting patients, they're reporting doctors tha

Recent research has shown that nuclear winter after even a limited exchange would be worse than previously thought. We don't know how/if our technological society would bounce back from N billion starvation deaths.

We know at least one case where a state DA has gone after a software developer tied to an illegal activity (gambling, [1]) so having a middleman and limiting their customers to governments may be an unfortunate legal necessity to prevent th

I think "interest in apps" (i.e. people experimenting with, talking about, and sharing apps) plateaued in 2012. You can see this effect on Google Trends.
