Yea I would really like to see their assumptions and numbers for how these projects 100% offset their shipping emissions.

I find Strang's text to be unnecessarily tedious. Both of Lang's LA textbooks (Intro to LA, and LA) both take linear maps as the core point of the text.

What countries allow their journalists to attempt to hack the country's military without consequence?

Breaking into another account is unauthorized access. Doesn't matter if that account had more, the same, or even less access than Manning's account.

>If they had some crazy leak to make, it doesn’t seem like something they would just sit on to use as personal leverage for assange.

They admitted they had documents on Trump, the RNC, Russia, and Putin that they never released. The first time wikileaks (IIRC almost a decade ago) mentioned releasing Russia documents; they mysteriously never released them. Then Assange got a show on Russian television.

No journalist would help their sources hack their employer for more documents. Journalists can take documents their source already has; but helping their source illegally access more documents is against the law.

Imagine if these were physical documents in a safe. A journalist helping the source crack that safe would be very illegal.

>except for the one password

If he did attempt to break the password hash, he conspired to hack military systems. I don't see why someone who attempted to break a password hash for access to classified documents shouldn't be prosecuted, journalist or not.

Aurora Postgres is pretty fantastic.

All of the OTT services have sports packages similar to what you'd get from a cable company.

It's crazy how fast tuition has changed for flagship state universities. I went to my states flagship just over a decade ago and paid $4500 in tuition for the entire year that was fully covered by a state scholarship that's available to every in-state high school graduate with a certain GPA.

I just looked up what this costs now. $12,000 in yearly tuition and the same scholarship that used to cover all tuition now only covers $7500 (62%). I don't think I would have been able to afford that a decade ago without taking significantly more debt (and possibly private debt) than the small amount of FAFSA loans I did take.

I imagine the number of people who today looked up Oleg's commits and his manager's survey results is in low single digits. I don't think you are being as "throw away" as you think here.

Getting to be a new member of SAG is almost impossible. I don't think we want that model for developers.

Some great reading on the topic from James Hamilton's blog.

From the article:

>The professors transferred ownership of their creations to MIT, one of the premier U.S. research universities, which then granted exclusive patent-licensing rights to a small company the three men founded, Ethanol Boosting Systems LLC. EBS offered to license patents on the enhancements to Ford in 2014, but the company declined.

If EBS doesn't get paid, then MIT doesn't get paid.

There a ton of product placement in Netflix originals. Hell, Bandersnatch had an option to choose whether the character ate Kellogg's or Quaker cereal. (Although it wasn't a paid placement.)

After they got funding they promised, repeatedly, that it would be out in 2016.

"Squadron 42, the single-player portion of Star Citizen, doesn't have a hard release date, but it was expected to be ready sometime this year. There's even a little “2016” over the “Answer the Call” logo on the Squadron 42 web page. However, that came into question when German site Gamestar reported that, in an interview at PAX West, Cloud Imperium Games boss Chris Roberts said the game probably wouldn't be out until mid-to-late 2017."
