Google's anti-SEO destroyed SEO-based businesses. Businesses whose product was deception and causing suboptimal decisions. I celebrate the death of those "legitimate" businesses.

If a sufficiently large population of interested people can be induced to correct the map it shouldn't be an insurmountable problem. Wikipedia suffers and reverts many thousands of bits of misinformation daily. Not to say it's perfect but it's good enough.

Anyone who doesn't work unreasonable hours is a slacker? Fuck you.

"Customer's permission" is newspeak for terms of service buried two links deep and five pages of microtext from the top in a section labeled "beware of leopard"

I would never assume they won't make any breakthroughs but what you're expecting is far beyond "making breakthroughs". You seem to believe a government run research program with a relatively small budget can outperform a multibillion dollar decades old giant of innovation like Intel. If Russia had three times Intel's budget for the next ten years they could probably catch up. Other than that it's just not happening.

Rest in peace you inspiration of mankind.

The refrigerator doesn't need access to the internet

Unless I want it to look up recipes. Or be able to auto-order things I'm low on. Or text me in the store to let me know I'm low on milk. Or complain that there's a dangerous form of mold growing. Or give me food usage statistics.

there is no reason what so ever for each device to be directly connected to the internet,

I've seen this argument over and over again and it's still just as short-sighted as when it was said the first time.

There's no good reason and off the top of my head three bad reasons to restrict architecture to a single reporting system:

• Standards problems. A home automation system needs to be as future proof as possible and it's all too likely that manufacturers of such systems will do everything possible to not work well together.
• future needs.Where a new set of data from a self-hosting fridge is inherent to the appliance I have to rely on two different systems to support it with the architecture you propose.
• virus resistance. A large and diverse ecosystem of appliances won't be nearly as vulnerable as a few standardized systems

Did anyone notice how dead-on accurate Google's automatic translation is on that site? "D-Dalu is a completely new aircraft with a drive system based on four cyclo Giro rotors. Because of pairs of counter-rotating rotors drive the aircraft is permanently in a state of dynamic equilibrium with balanced centrifugal forces." That's almost indistinguishable from a human translator.

Snowden did it to keep his oath and he's still getting prosecuted. Anyone doing it for money would have no leg to stand on in the view of the people who would go after them. Corruption in the US judiciary system is a very real problem and people who expose it are heroes but this reward is the worst possible way to get people to come forward.

One would hope that following the original, successful, format will be sufficient. If they try to change it up (which seems likely) to be a web 2.0 synergistic paradigm it could be a disaster. I hope they get input from Dr. Liggett or equivalent.

Even the average anesthetized American brain can see the irony in these names. Soon we shall have a ministry of love.

Long passwords composed of random words are highly random, highly resistant to bruit forcing, and relatively easy to remember. The battle to make users remember arbitrary characters isn't just foolish, it's insecure.

The question was about methane.

How can mass farming of cattle be made sustainable?

But the writers of TFA are still misusing the word. All learned knowledge is memetic: It's silly to pull arbitrary words from an information stream and pretend only they are memes. The word they should be looking for is "important" or "central". The software is pulling ideas more central to the science. That's excellent work and well worth doing... It's just not directly related to memes.
