Well, except "patriarchy" is a word specifically denoting a male-led societal structure. I get your point, though, a matriarchy can be just as bad if the pendulum swings too far the other way.

How does this prove "the patriarchy"? Doesn't it really prove that media organizations don't practice what they preach?

Oh, man - haven't thought about Killdozer in years! Who doesn't like construction equipment bent on destruction of all life around it? The '70s were sooooo weird.

SpaceX has been using densified LOX since December 2015. Not exactly yesterday.

It's staggering to me how many people don't realize just how much comes out of oil. We do to oil what the native Americans used to do with the Buffalo.

We take the oil and put it in a big pipe, heat the crap out of it, and then pull out different things based on how high up in the pipe it condenses (a crude simplification, but close enough for government work).

• At the top is the gasses such as LPG and butanes. Sulfur too, from H2S. Heavy Naphtha.
• Then a ton of products, some of which get reblended into Gasoline: jet fuel, kerosine, diesel oil, fuel oil, stuff like butanes and pentanes.
• Lower down, we get the heavy fuel oils, waxes, lubricating oils (don't underestimate the need for that stuff).
• And finally, at the bottom, Asphalt.

Most of that stuff we'll need, even if every car today was electrically powered.

The prime factor in this decision, the bankruptcy of Westinghouse, isn't mentioned in the article until you get halfway through. I guess factors such as these don't really fit the narrative of "nuclear bad".

This type of response is why education in the US is off the rails. You extrapolate your response to learning via YouTube to the entire student population. Students learn differently. Some respond to visual learning methods. Some to auditory methods. Some respond best to experiment. The point being, instructor input is vital. During a lecture, the instructor can see the "deer in the headlights" look, and adjust the instruction style and content appropriately. Videos can't do that. Self-study only works with brilliant, entirely self-motivated individuals, and those are rare indeed.

Why wouldn't Amazon market this internationally? It's not like no one outside of Japan likes manga...

I've had to banish my manga collection from my Kindle Voyage because one relatively short manga can take up the space of 100 other books. I'd love to be able to fit them all on my Kindle.

With a 7-digit slashdot id? Yeah.

My wife's pacemaker certainly doesn't call 9-1-1 in the event of heart failure. The only "phone home" functionality is via a base station next to her bed where it sends log data to the doctor nightly.

I can't imagine them building cell functionality in a pacemaker - they want them to be as small as possible, since they're devices implanted in the body.

Sea landings play merry hell with the equipment, requiring lots of expensive refurbishment (ala the shuttle booster rocket segments). The SpaceX approach is to bring the boosters to a soft touchdown on land, minimizing turnaround costs.

This is *never* done. Operators are well aware that every drill is a drill. The only times keys are turned are in the missile procedures trainer or in carefully planned follow-on test launches from Vandenburg AFB, or simulated electronic launches.

Search for Hamzy's "Despecialized" editions - he used HD sources, and got them as close to the theatrical editions as he could.

It's the only version I keep on my shelf.

So, we have: a single-sourced story from a news source that has in the past been an advocate of the removal of the U.S. base from Okinawa, an anonymous verification source (and thus unable to be contacted for independent verification), and a reprinting of the story by the BoAS, which has long changed its tune to keep itself as being seen as relevant.

I'm surprised that this story was even allowed to be printed, as single-sourced stories are usually laughed out of the editors' offices. Even in this case, if you allow 2 sources, usually you'd need hard evidence, not just hearsay.

How does the expression go? "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"? I don't see anything extraordinary here.

So Apple should revoke the certificate. Why is this a problem? What makes this newsworthy? What am I missing?

That even though this is still just someone running an untrusted binary, let's put that it affects unjailbroken iphones so people who just read the title will be scared and move to android?
