Here is her motivation, she says, "as much as I've been investigated and all that, why would I want to do email?" So her intention for using a private email server from the beginning was to hide potential scandals.

Not only was keeping a private email server against the law, when asked to turn over the emails, she printed them out on paper, 55,000 pages of paper. What motive would she have for doing that, other than to make any investigation harder?

Think about whether you want police officers to wear cameras, and why you want them to wear cameras. It is because we don't trust them, and for good reason. Well, you shouldn't trust public officials either, even if they are on 'your team.'

That is silly. A falling bullet has a much lower speed than one that was just shot. I've been hit by shotgun pellets at the end of their range, it was like having gravel slung at you.

A returning bullet CAN hit someone, and possibly injure them if everything is lined up right, or there is a very low angle of fire, but they have a small fraction of the energy they had in the first km after being fired.

a good discression

I really hope you meant "an indiscretion" here, otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about.

So, enquiring minds want to know: are you semiliterate, or are you trying to say something else entirely?

...but they get our shit to space.

Which 'smart person' are you talking about?

who needs more than...

Very funny Mr Gates.

I'll just chime in with a real response though: 4K video from home movies.

Not everything is going to go into the cloud.

Just my own personal photos require nearly 8TB now between RAW files and converted images.

What I find more interesting is why stars rarely collide?

Too much empty space.

This.

Consider that for two stars to hit each other, they essentially have to pass within one stellar diameter of each other (absent gravity, but they're moving at over escape speed relative to each other, so gravity won't enlarge that distance a whole hell of a lot).

So, one stellar diameter is ~1.4 Gm for Sol. Nearest star is 40,000,000 Gm away. If that nearest star were headed toward us (it's not), it's course would have to be within 0.01 seconds of arc of our Sun in order to actually hit it.

And stars farther away have an even smaller course window to be in to smack us....

They're starting to enclave up in videogames, much like what happened with the atheism movement. It took a few extra years but the "atheism+" crap is now collapsing under it's own corruption and regular atheism is going along just fine still. And of course there's now a similar thing to gamergate starting in comic books and heavy metal. Everything they touch they turn into a political issue, and when they don't get their way they claim sexism, bigotry, racism, or whatever else to try and make people back down. Funny enough, many of them actually sexist, bigots or racists and that can be easily seen in their social commentary on twitter or facebook.

Then you're talking about the quality of the API, not the quality of the code. If for some reason you became a maintainer, then you would care quite a bit about being able to read the code.

Some of us are doomed even if most women don't know this secret.

Well, you are Doctor Evil.

CRC's were in my first year of CS, in 1996.

Of all the problems you might find at arXiv, I don't think "auto-generated papers going undetected" is one of their problems.

ArXiv's problem is recognizing when human-written, realistic sounding papers are actually BS.

No it doesn't. Non-competes limit your ability to make a living. People are more important than corporations.

I notice you didn't name any instances.

You are right, but they are used for that..

A company should keep its employees by paying well, and by making it a good place to work. If the only way you can keep employees is by making them sign non-competes, then your company is a lousy company to begin with, and the world would be made better by having someone compete with it.

Most of amazon's warehouses are in the asshole of nowhere, that means that many people don't have any choice but to work for them.
