The NSA *is* the "next attack". It's an enemy combatant's dream. They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

Drew Carey used to tell a joke about how he loved to make cops get out of their cars in the rain, and he used to run stop signs just to see them do it:
"Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Carey: Yep! Do you know why I ran the sign?"

From TFA:
"... the Association says that purchase prices on Tesla's website routinely include a $7,500 federal TAX CREDIT, despite the fact that the Congressional Budget Office states that only 20 percent of shoppers qualify for the alternative vehicle credit."

The only "qualifications" necessary are:
1) You would otherwise be paying at least $7,500 in taxes for the year. (For those not informed about such things, this includes what is withheld from your paycheck)

2) You buy the car new

3) You keep the car for a year

I profer:
1) 99% of those spending this much money on a car has a $7,500 tax bill

2) The other 1% are just cash-rich and it won't bother them that the final bill will be $7,500 higher

I assume that when the Congressional Budget Office states that "only 20 percent of *shoppers*" qualify, they are talking about shoppers for Electric Vehicles in general; not specifically Teslas.

Getting back to TFA, isn't much of the "dirty" portion of nuclear plants front loaded? If so, you want to keep the plant open as long as possible in order to mitigate this "cost"; not shut it down so quickly. By doing so they did a disservice, in terms of net CO2 output, and helped make Nuclear energy "look" less clean.

That's not what it says. It says that we have agreements to protect the privacy of those other countries. It doesn't say anything about sharing information with them

How much negotiating did Israel have to do to get our Telexes included in this?

How much do you want to bet?

Why yes, I do. And that means that at least my good friends and I are in good shape :-)

>Do we dare trust the browser?

If it's open source and I compile it myself, Yes I trust it.

When I first read the summary I thought Google was going to provide me a way to manage my own keys in a practical sense. I would like for my browser to automatically decrypt when I download from Google Drive using private keys stored on my local store (with a pass phrase, of course).

If there's trouble, they can always rotate the shield harmonics.

The best thing to come out of the end of OTA TV will be the end of the FCC's reign of terror over OTA TV. They'll be forced to spend all of their censorship efforts on terrestrial radio... until that goes away.

So, I RTFA. It's great that endometrial tissue has been grown, but it seems to me that is one of the (relatively) easier problems to solve in this process. You are going to have to build some sort of artificial placenta, and pump nutrient-filled blood through the umbillical cord (which is generated as part of the fetus), and also take waste material out in the other direction.
