Surely humans are nothing special. Have you seen those movies of orcas tossing baby seals 30 ft up in the air? Domestic (outdoor) cats kill variety of small animals for something that is close to...

The USA already leads the world by the rate of incarceration per capita. Eight times more compared to the rest of the Western countries.

It's a complicated issue :-) There are many universities while the number of companies that can provide a comparable environment is small.

I had made a conscious decision to quit industry after...

But it would help tremendously if you plan to initiate scientific projects, publish papers as first or corresponding author and direct a research group.



When I graduated, my first position was...

Some people suggested that the higher the level of the US education you get, the more you pay for it. That is often not true. In many fields, research/teaching assistantships at master/PhD levels pay...

SSD's controller is oblivious of encryption or even disk partitions, so it will happily move data around. However, the TRIM command will be disabled with the whole-disk encryption method. Since the...

I use just IMAP with gmail (close to 20K emails) but have backups of everything. Clients like thunderbird and evolution support "download for offline usage" with IMAP, so, with frequent backups of...

I have a watch, given me as a present, with two o'clock based on this joke -- http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/geek-wrist-watch :-)

If you want to view and modify content of a gpg-encrypted file, but keep the copy on the disk always encrypted, consider using a text editor that supports decryption in the buffer. Both emacs and vi...

It's not restricted nearly enough ... for reading books, that is :-)

We have a nook tablet, and two simpler, e-ink devices, a kindle and a nook. My 4-year old is the tablet guy, but I just don't...

Sounds like in the past you've logged in from a device that belongs to someone you know, and they kept checking your email ever since. I mean, the "hacker" is on a different network, but in close...

I'd worry more about stuff stored unencrypted on google servers. There is also the other side - the person you email to. Perhaps 99.99% of the...

"the switch doesn’t encrypt e-mail — it simply encrypts the communications in transit between Google’s servers and a user’s computer"

Some advantages of Thunderbird compared to the web interface:


Easy selection of sending account for replying.
Transparent management of encryption with Enigmail (for sending encrypted pay...

This is easy to change (assuming you're using IMAP). In Account Settings -> Server Settings, choose When I delete a message -> Move it to this folder, and select [Gmail]->Trash

This way, when you...

All in my family are atheists (I'm pretty sure the cat is too) but we still celebrate Christmas: put up and decorate a tree, have a party, get presents from Santa, and my car is transformed into a...

Brothers, over starry sphere surely dwells the loving Google. O ye Google, I embrace ye.

You can certainly get paid for doing a social experiment, if you're a ruthless dictator of a small resource-rich country.

To add, many things are impossible to access or implement without a degree and a qualifying position. If my postdoc wants to have access to certain "publicly available" data sets, I have to apply for...

I use encfs and zenity for that kind of stuff. A panel launcher starts a bash script with a graphical password prompt utilizing zenity. ~/.thunderbird is a softlink to $HOME/Fuse/decr. "chmod 000" is...

I believe that is what he's proposing to do. The actual data is encrypted in ~/Private and ~/.thunderbird is just a symlink to it. When Private is unmounted, .thunderbird would point to a folder that...

If there are two conflicting theological theories, how do you decide which one is to be taken with a higher degree of confidence? If you choose one of them based on rational grounds, (like in the...

Where are all these divergent interpretations in peer reviewed literature? Outside of it, strength of evidence has little to do with existence of arguments. From "HIV is harmless", to "Earth is...
