My wish list: - A secure email (with optional encryption/signature, with whitelists) - IM (with point to point encryption). - identity management (I would love delegating the login/password ceremonial to Mozilla instead of reinventing the well for each site). It seems I have trust in Mozilla.

What do you mean by "The attack surface of Vim is admittedly small" ? Recently I had to access a file owned by root. The IT gave me the permission to do sudo /bin/less /etc/the_file. That was enough to launch a shell with root permissions. If someone can send commands to Vim, he can launch any command and own your computer.

rm is a good start, but you also need to ensure the disks are not sold to anyone.

maybe the car industry was just a strategy to hire talented people. Now, they use them on useful tasks. Just a theory.

The war in Ukraine is about selling American shale gas. There are probably other reasons, like dividing Europe and Russia. The second Gulf War was motivated by Saddam Hussein's desire to sell his oil in euros to fight American imperialism. America is playing the marionnetist for all its benefits.

Another way of presenting the same facts is that Airbus has done business with a country where corruption and bribes are the norm. The U.S. intercepted communications and used them to blackmail buyers so that they chose Boeing instead of the best airplanes.

Microsoft software (and borland) were easy to copy, but it was not the case before. There were many tricks to protect software like "weak bits", "laser holes", fancy sector layout. We had special software to copy protected disks.

50. The best answer is the simplest one. IMHO, 2n^2 is very simple.

In 1993, it was said that the game of Go would be the drosophila fly of artificial intelligence. Alphago (then AlphaGo Zero) has succeeded in 2016, 2017. The glass ceiling has been broken. We are witnessing the birth of a new world where artificial intelligence will be more and more present in everyday life. I do not see any limit.

As a developer, this silly cryptography check would be very useful during development phases to avoid signing after each compilation. IMHO, they "just" failed to replace the development code by the production code during delivery. A simple mistake ;-)

Imho, the insight is that placebo work well for many people.

scratch has the origin at the center. If your audience is young, they may already be used to it.

IMHO (almost layman), takoff catapult is the way to go for energy efficiency of aircraft. If you imagine a takeoff around 200KIAS, the conversion of cynetic energy in potential energy gives you a big part of the climb. The spared energy would increase the flight range.

As a go player and reader of the "computer go" magazine, I disagree.

cut diwn and use it for furniture and buildings. We could replace concrete with wood.

I work as contractor for EUROCONTROL. 90% of the time, the usual order (Lat/long) is used in software. When this is not the case, it is a good indicator that I need to be careful about the conventions used to represent all data. I have already encountered the reversed wind direction and more frequently the use of m/s instead of knots (for wind speed).

IMHO the most important period for microsoft is the 90s. There is nothing about it in this article. 1990 is windows 3.0. In 2000, it was the start of Ballmer's era with the erratic management.

France recycle spent fuel for whole Europe. In order to reuse a part of plutonium, most of the plant consume a mix of uranium and plutonium: mox. AFAIK, France has huge piles of useless plutonium.
