Actually if you dig into the proposal there's already a lot of duplicated bureaucracy all over the armed forces regarding space. This would pull them under a single umbrella and actually reduce bureaucracy.

I believe the original quote was "I don't need to outrun the Ogre, I just need to outrun you."

I wish I could remember where I first read it though.

iotop

Only if he's salary. If he's contract then he's hourly and he got paid for every single one of those hours.

OK, now try doing it without a compiler or assembler.

Machines have been writing most of our code for decades now.

You do know that this is the experiments where 'always mount a scratch monkey' came from right?

Seems to me like you've never worked on anything large enough that one person can't do it all.

... or anything with libraries.

> most of the critical passwords at my enterprise are already shared

... You do realize that this means that anyone who has the shared admin passwords can, and likely will, do untold damage on the way out?

Good luck living on protein alone. You still need fat and carbs but playing with the ratios between them does yield some interesting results.

Paleo is the vegan to low-carb's vegetarian. You don't have to go full on paleo to take advantage of a low-carb diet.

There's some caveats to this. We cannot continue our growth based society for more than about 200 more years. This is because energy usage is directly tied to growth and in about 200 years we'll boil the oceans just with the amount of power we use. If we can transition from a growth based society to a stable society then we could continue on Earth but that society doesn't look a whole lot like the one we have now. Likewise climate change is already on track to radically alter our planet from what we've known for the entirety of human existence. Yes the human race will adapt and survive but what kind of society (and technological level) we will have after that period of adaptation is completely unknown. All we know is that it will look nothing like what we have now.

As compared to what's normally used for communication? An order of magnitude is 'damn near'.

The way it's going right now traditional cable will die out and you'll just subscribe to each channel that you want to watch. Right now you can subscribe to HBO, Netflix, Hulu and a few others. I expect Disney will follow with ESPN and their other offerings at some point.

Which makes me wonder why not US Netflix? I'd watch it on Netflix if it simucast it.

The article mentioned (and shows a picture of) them also printing them directly onto CMOS sensors. IMHO that's far more valuable than putting them on the end of fibre.
