  • I agree with you regarding availability, and I find your comment interesting. I often find phone models of interest that are only available in Europe or the East. Phone selection in the USA is often terrible.

  • Let's get some helpful headlines on this.

    "Congress{man|woman|person} $name_of_person_that_voted_against helped defeat bill to release all congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports, who have they been harassing"

  • Thank you. I always hear about the fungi and not the bacteria...

    Great reminder about the fires. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboniferous in the section titled "Atmospheric oxygen levels".

    For example: the increasing occurrence of charcoal produced by wildfires from the Late Devonian into the Carboniferous indicates increasing oxygen levels,...

  • All but one of the sources are from the same website. An internet search for the earth's parasol finds lots of proposed projects.

  • Isn't this the use of the "ready room"? Picard had fish, old things, and the "totally not a TV, TV" on his desk.

  • They never care. They have been deporting citizens.

  • Plastic-eating bacteria discovered in the ocean

    Jump

  • To be fair, this has happened before, and I understand it was far hard for the bacteria then.

    There was a time when cellulose could not be broken down. Trees fell and piled up for ... miles? Anyway, then bacteria figured out how to break it down. (We also got coal from the trees that were burred.) Anyway, we still build out of cellulose. Sometimes we treat the cellulose, sometimes we don't.

    Plastic may, or may not, end up the same way.

  • Weekend commits are actually less likely to introduce vulnerabilities, but they take 45% longer to fix.

    I can only think of contributors being nice and relaxed, doing their most brilliant work. Work that is a bit too brilliant for the same contributor to fix any bugs found during any other conditions.

    insert that one quote about being too smart for one's own good

    Edit: Weekend commits are 8% less likely to have bugs, but those bugs take 45% longer to fix! This site is gold.

    Edit 2: that may not mean what it looks like at first blush.

    Why did things have to get this obvious before people realized the truth?

    Jump

  • People have different levels for what they consider that other "people realized the truth". Many communities are full of people that know the truth and when they act to change things get knocked down.

    As the Saint George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

    There are a lot of really, really stupid people out there. Poverty, stress, hunger, etc make people even more dumber.

  • No OP, but with Snowden, a lot of the general outline was already known by those that pay attention. The specifics were new, but also largely filtered with "the government's side".

  • I want to push back on this part:

    Only if Microsoft acquires a major CPU chipmaker.

    In the USA, and other parts of the world, a small number of Billionaires are buying up everything. A small number of wealthy people could each own a part of the supply chain and for it on the vast majority.

    For extra enforcement, add in a legal or cultural push for reporting or shunning violators through the media companies owned by that same group.

  • The computers in the store, yes. I expect all computers in the store to be phones and the cell company will verify.

    Open Source computers will be more important. Might need to brush up on wire wrapping... (Implication being that chip supplies might become dedicated to only those manufacturers that lock the product down.)
