Drop/Box gave these users the option to make these files publicly accessible, they chose to make them publicly accessible, which made them publicly accessible. THE HORROR!
How is this getting reported? Is this some kind of weird post Heartbleed security reporting bandwagon?
Anything that advances the anthropogenic global warming agenda is climate. Anything that doesn't is weather. Keep up!
You know that theories and models concerning climate change are constantly being updated and refined right? That literally can't happen if they're only incorporating results that reinforce the existing models...
...so why hasn't anyone proposed this mysterious solution if it fixed the problem that "easily", with "barely any significant change in our style of life"?
They did, it's called "reduce, reuse, recycle" and it's been around since the 70's. People have demonstrated how easy it can be, but to our collective inability to think and plan ahead, it's not commonplace.
It’s very very different; nerumorphic chips have been around for ages, they use the same phenomena the brain does (ion-flow across a neuron's membrane) using different a method (electron flow across a silicon membrane).
The big difference is that they make use of analogue computation using the physical properties of electricity to model whatever you’re trying to model, whereas digital computers model things by representing quantities as symbolic values.
So digital computers let you model something by simulating it with symbolic values, an analogue computer lets you model something by emulating a systems physical properties.
There is no machine code to speak of, you can’t program an analogue circuit, you have to physically construct it. That’s what makes this Neurogrid technology is interesting; if these guys are on the level then they've developed a practical way to use digital computers to “program” analogue circuits.
Why is meat so cheap compared to vegetables
Tens of billions of dollars in farming subsidies every year and the animal feed subsidy is almost as large as all the others combined.

It's not that meat is so cheap compared to vegetables, it's that you pay the difference in other ways.
The Internet has acted as a great equalizer, removing many of the barriers that people without great wealth face when trying to make opportunities. Now we're putting those barriers back in place, by making it so that established players can use their wealth to hold a privileged position within the market.
This can only serve to benefit the established players at the cost of consumers and new entrants.
If you want to be a deaf person, that's fine by me, but it doesn't give you any moral imperative to suggest that parents should deny their children their right to hearing.
The silver lining to this was it allowed these companies to deflect anger onto the NSA. Good, because the NSA are the ones to blame, I might not like what MS, Apple, etc were doing, but I can't blame them for it. Responsibility for this fucking mess lies foremost with the state spying agencies, specifically the NSA.
You should note that, despite what many believe, we don't really "subsidize" fossil fuels to any major degree. The majority of the "subsidies" people whine about are just plain old tax deductions - the same ones that other businesses get. The oil companies didn't even get those deductions for a long time, and people complained when they finally got to deduct for exploration and drilling expenses in the same way normal businesses deduct for operations.
Bullshit:
Millions of people vote who don't pay income taxes. I guess these apes will probably be voting for Democrats (aka GimmeDats) just like those millions.
Hate to break it to you bub, but Red states on the whole take more government money and pay less in taxes.
I eagerly awate assemblerex's demand for Voltage Pictures to be compensated millions of dollars for the bittorrented distribution of The Hurt Locker. I bring this up as someone who was employed on that film, and note that that money pays my salary on the next film...
Well how about you get 50% of the profits that were made by everyone who distributed The Hurt Locker over BitTorrent.
That would come to... carry the one... uh, nothing. You get zero dollars. Wow, Who'da thunk it that there's a difference between pirating something for profit and pirating something for personal use.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
