Let's imagine that somehow Iran does figure out how to make a bomb. They are going to need to do tests, and the first bomb is going to be enormous and undeliverable. You can't set off a nuke, even a practice one, without someone knowing. I'm sure we have satellites with sensors to do this exact job. It is impossible for Iran to make a deliverable bomb without at first at least testing one - and that test would be the last thing they ever did. They've already got the radioactive material. Wouldn't a dirty bomb be more effective at ending Israel? Just take your radioactive material, stick in some conventional bombs and irradiate the cities. That's something they could do today if they wanted. Hell, they could give the stuff to IS and let them run around irradiating water supplies and such. I'd be much more worried about that than bomb development, bombs that are probably decades from even being deliverable and the tests would cause an immediate and extreme response. And all of that is under the assumption that Iran is even worth the worry.

Isn't this a work around for (3): As an ISP, you reduce the incoming pipe that your customers use. You then charge big data providers for various local hosting services/hardware, maybe even use a different incoming pipe to service this hardware. That's not technically a fast lane, but it should have the same effect.

I don't understand how we can talk about near limitless government wiretapping and tracking, and then in the same breath be happy that they took more control over the internet. I'd expect the next move to be some sort of censorship - for the children!!! Then we can look forward to mandatory equipment at the ISPs provided by the government that does all kinds of useful things, like tracking and filtering. They do this on all of the foreign communications (PBS Hardline did an excellent documentary on this) now is the chance to get it done domestically. This is a HUGE overreach. Basic internet access could be qualified as a public utility, some minimum standard that lets you do essential things (ie, things not including streaming HD video), but "Broadband" is non-essential. It's the difference between broadcast radio - because that is essential in emergencies, and all of cable television. We are being given a false choice between corporations or government talking control of the internet. We don't have to give control to either.

Just in case you're wondering what this would do to a person, there is a good reason they call it 'Piranha'.

I don't understand what you are supposed to do with a beefy chromebook. What can you run that needs that much HP that isn't just horribly optimized?

Nooooo, it's not functional. It's like saying that someone made a functional jet engine via origami. We know that these printers are getting more and more precise, but now someone needs to demonstrate that combined with proper materials properties.

For being relic mac garbage.

How does this affect the dark matter discussion? It looks like they've been trying to fit the model to observation that looks like it was about half right.
