Not to kick someone while they're down... but a security company screwing up their key rotation is not exactly a good sign.

"Traumatic brain injuries are not the only kind of injuries. If it weren't for the fact that they result in death, they wouldn't really even be important."
If you feel I was minimizing the importance of sulfur pollution in comparison to carbon pollution, that is because I was. Carbon pollution is, in fact, more important.
Behold, data: http://i.imgur.com/t75zXYw.png
15 ships do not equal the carbon pollution of all the cars in the world.
In the table, those latency numbers are specified in "ms". Also microseconds? Couldn't possibly be milliseconds, for two VMs that should only be a couple dozen metres away from each other, right?
"Level 3 charging" here means DC fast charging: 125 amps at 500 volts (depending on the vehicle)
Get off your petastle.
Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving equipment specifically
designed, modified or configured for military use; or GPS receiving
equipment with any of the following characteristics:
1. Designed for encryption or decryption (e.g., Y-Code) of GPS
precise positioning service (PPS) signals;
2. Designed for producing navigation results above 60,000 feet
altitude and at 1,000 knots velocity or greater;
(The big disadvantage is that it can't see through clouds, of course)
The relevant agreement is the Missile Technology Control Regime, an informal partnership between 34 countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_Technology_Control_Regi...
Unlocked GPS receivers are classified as dual-use missile-related components under category II, item 11, section A.3: http://www.mtcr.info/english/MTCR-April2011-Technical-Annex....
b. Designed or modified for airborne applications and having any of the following:
1. Capable of providing navigation information at speeds in excess of 600 m/s;
2. Employing decryption, designed or modified for military or
governmental services, to gain access to GNSS secure signal/data; or
3. Being specially designed to employ anti-jam features (e.g. null steering
antenna or electronically steerable antenna) to function in an
environment of active or passive countermeasures.It is mainly notable for a contentious rape trial in 2004: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_sexual_assault_trial_o...
Long form Vanity Fair article, which is sufficiently similar to the OP that at first I thought I was rereading the same essay: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/01/pitcairn200801
Is there ad blocker that only blocks the annoying ads,
not the ones that we deem "OK?"
you're quoting a speculative paper.
I haven't read the story extract, but I assume the plan
would be to bleed matter into the micro black hole to
maintain it.
I assume your point is that a GeV is a minuscule amount of
energy, which isn't going to push 130kT around at any speed.

The lifespan of a 108,000 tonne black hole is ~350 hours. At that mass, its event horizon is .32 attometres across, and the Hawking radiation it emits is measured in gigaelectronvolts.
“Most black holes are formed when stars collapse,” Ivy said.
“But there’s a theory that some of them were created shortly
after the Big Bang. The universe was lumpy. Some of the lumps
might have been dense enough to undergo gravitational
collapse. They could form black holes that instead of
weighing what a star weighs could be a lot smaller.”
“How small?”
“I don’t think there’s a lower limit.”
A black hole smaller than 0.8% Earth masses loses more mass than it gains from the cosmic microwave background, and will eventually evaporate.
The first couple pages of Seveneves certainly does not impress, but maybe I'll like it better after reading the whole thing.
Adam Langley said something about enforcing secure TLD restrictions in Chrome a while ago, not sure if that ever got done.
Most ludicrously, there's no hint of political opposition or a protest movement. At no point does any character say anything like "Hey, wait, maybe clones are humans too?" or "Maybe sentient machines should have rights?"
A critical rule, however, is to omit detail, (a reader is unlikely to question an explanation they make up themselves) and most importantly, to omit details you know to be wrong. (It is impossible to nitpick a statement that is never said)
An odd feature of our campus network at the time was that it was 100%
switched. An outgoing packet wouldn't incur a router delay until hitting
the POP and reaching a router on the far side. So time to connect to a
lightly-loaded remote host on a nearby network would actually largely be
governed by the speed of light distance to the destination rather than by
incidental router delays.
Use <em> and <strong> rather than <i> and <b>: <em> and
<strong> add meaning, not styling hints.
What a pointless bubble chart. If you graph the number of test takers, then of course the states with the largest population (CA, TX) will have the largest bubbles.
At some point during every conversation I had with a tech guy who
is interested in racing, there would come an awkward moment in
which he would ask me not to paint him as an extravagant, sexist
cretin. Mr. Schachter told me, “Try to tone down the rich guy
hobby thing.”

Note that the arduino.cc store is out of stock of pretty much everything, which makes sense if Arduino Srl is no longer manufacturing anything for them: http://store.arduino.cc/category/11
Additionally, tinkerkit.com (Arduino LLC's line of branded sensors for Arduino boards) has been down for at least a year now, which sucks, since that's where all the example code and datasheets are kept. We've seen sales for those drop through the floor.
The legal battle seems to have significantly impacted operations at Ardunio LLC, to the point that they're not really a functioning company anymore.
