As the network admin for a local government entity that uses gmail, and not having had a chance to see exactly how this will work, I have a fair amount of confidence that the 'destruction' may not be permanent. As long as a particular user's account exists, the email associated with that account exists in Google Vault. A user can delete all of their email, but that just means they don't have access to it anymore. As an admin for our Google domain, I am still able to get access to any and all emails.

Yes, if the account is actually deleted, which in our case can only be done by a domain admin, either in our AD or in the Admin Console in Google, then all emails will be gone. Whomever does that, and there are records, will be in serious legal trouble if the account was deleted before the required period has expired, in our case 7 years. Yes, that could hide deeper criminal activity, but as an admin, it is my co-responsibility to keep those laws. This is the same as any other network/server administrator in any government entity anywhere. The trust is there, it's a matter of keeping it.

I know SpaceX is thinking things are good, but could anyone comment on what kind of leeway might be available with those connection points? From what I can see, there are only 4 per side booster, and they really don't look that big. Will that truly be enough? By what kind of margin? I'd almost expect the rocket to tear itself apart once those two boosters kick in.

Obviously, I'm nowhere near a rocket scientist...

Well, not so evil that we'd balance against a duck, anyway..

Oh, I don't know. I was 45 when I was hired as the network admin at a local school district a couple of years ago. I did have one or two people in the district that I put on as references, and both of them would have known more about me as a person. One knew me a bit from when we worked at a university, but that was 15 years previous.

I am currently very happy with my job and have friends at work, and get decent pay/benefits such that I can support my family. I'm in a quasi-management position; I don't actually manage other employees, but they will take my lead as needed. Of course I'm not above taking their lead as well.

No, no it won't.

Yup, back when it was only here in The Cities. Great show!

Not quite exactly the same, but kind of...
One of my favorite Danny Dunn stories as a kid..

Cancelled my twitter account a long time ago, despise Emojis, so no problems here. :) works just fine for me.

Now get off my lawn!

And should I ever end up getting a TV that has the capability, I'll never connect it to the Internet (internet tomorrow :) ). I can manage my laptop/workstation/whatever device to make sure it has the patches it needs. I can't do that for a TV.

Therefore, the only way a smart TV will be showing Netflix/Youtube/whatever is through a device that *I* have control over. Period.

I was in German class, listening to a person from the Concordia Language Villages in Bemidji Minnesota. He was talking about their (long since abandoned :( ) German college in Bemidji. He was just about done showing a video when the announcement came over the P.A. Our teacher said that we needed to listen to the rest of the presentation and then he would let us take over the T.V. to see what we could find being broadcast.

Relatedly, I was actually the one who told my dad when he came home from work that day. As he came in the door I asked him if he had heard the news.

Here in the States, at least here in Wisconsin, kids go to school on their own all the time. My daughter is in 2nd grade and has been walking the whole block to school since she started 1st grade in 2014. As mentioned previously, I think this is more of protecting the act than actually allowing it.

Actually, "TK-4TWO1" is right down the street from me. Used to be on a pick-up truck, now is on a sedan of some sort. Odd thing is, I'm not sure how many people have picked up on the license plate's reference. My Cow-Orker didn't until I told him.
