These tend to be swampy wetlands, and people have drained and developed swamps all the time for hundreds of years.

Good for them, the little buggers. Here's to another half a billion years. I have no doubt they'll outlast humans.

Cloud skepticism was never on the level of blockchain skepticism. Cloud solves a real problem of scalable and efficient resource allocation and provisioning for distributed applications, as you note, in both public and private cloud setting

If I woke up and found that my securities had been instantly and irreversibly transferred to China overnight, I would not be happy, at all.

Yet it is a giant leap backwards for security and irreversible transactions are a deal-breaking bug in the real world of finance. Mistakes and frauds have to be unwound. "Finders keepers losers weepers" is a playground rule.

> You will if you try to trade bonds in the conventional way, which is a huge pain in the ass. And that's a bunch of horsecrap. Do you buy stocks in your name too? No. Ordinary investors hold securities in street name with a brokera

That's only part of the "os" if you mean part of the installed libc, as opposed to part of the kernel. Managing heap is done in userspace.

For anyone for whom it's not obvious. The point is not that he spiked her chances to get hired for rejecting his advances, or that she wasn't treated fairly by in the remainder of the interview process. The point is that he hit on

this is actually 100% bullshit. HNW individuals do have opportunities in private equity and hedge funds not available to the general public but the risk/return curve is not really any better than what's available to joe bloggs in

tip to the uninitiated, this is called "closet indexing", and it's bad. If you want an index fund (and you should), buy a no-load, low-cost index fund.

Not really, there is a net gain for deferring taxes on gains beyond $3K. But irrelevant for tax-advantaged retirement funds.

The main problem is that TLH is irrelevant in tax-free/deferred retirement funds, which is where you should be sticking your savings if you haven't maxed them out, which is the situation of most people who use these robo services.

You must live in a funny-mirror version of my world. I'm in the pothole belt and there is never enough in the budget to fix all our roads. Yes, for various reasons, sometimes a stretch gets replaced that's in much better condition

Yup. And there is technology to spot naive decoys (e.g. IR signature), and technology to make decoys more sophisticated. The ABMs have to hit the MIRV before the warheads deploy or knock out every potentially damaging warhead. Russia and US

There's no way to get a true-size, true-perspective sense of this kind of speed. We're not built for it. You look at it and it's gone. That's some good vintage video. There's a mix of slow-motion and full-speed view

If it was testing it wasn't just this test. The exposure appears to be minimal.

Pure liquid mercury is not especially toxic so you're probably fine. That said it is damn stupid for kids to play around with it. Lead is probably worse. I did a lot of soldering as a kid (like, from age 7 or so) and my ventilation&#x2

Puffing a cigar is little different from puffing a pipe. If you're inhaling into your lungs, you are doing it wrong. In either case, you are pulling tobacco smoke into your mouth and throat and related cavities. Risk of cancers of the

Oh come on. And what's the kernel for GuixSD? Linux. We all know RMS is bitter that he can't take credit for a functional kernel, but it's still there.

Wow. I live within the USA snowbelt, but studded tires are pretty uncommon outside remote undeveloped areas and mountainous areas. Studless (or unstudded, studdable) winter tires are very common in the winter. Poor or clueless people or tho

Actually, the little point that undermines this litany is buried right in the middle: "Undoubtedly, a well-sited and well-built wind turbine would generate as much energy as it embodies in less than a year." So, do turbines last m

Sometimes, other times it's just wind farms are put in by companies who do wind farms and buy those rights, often from regular farmers, who continue to farm around the turbines. If you put in solar, then there's nothing left to fa

Your numbers are out of date. There's not a single country where the TFR >= 7. Most of Africa is under 5. That's still too high, but the numbers are dropping, and they are especially dropping in countries with increased develop
