Mark Zuckerberg seems to be a bit mixed up in this respect.

The papers say that "proof of concept" attacks have been constructed - which is some way short of actual practical attacks.
I also remember the 8087 evaluation stack cock-up - which persisted for many years. In fact it is still technically present in the instruction set to this day.
And some people out here just hate that "kind of a thing" cliche.
Bear in mind that there is a convention that use of the male pronoun in most circumstances embraces the female - but there is not convention in the reverse - so you are being more gender specific than "everyone else" - if not actually
sexist. You are also virtue signalling - which is distasteful.
Please bear in mind that not every apparently cender specific word actually is so - frequently the word "man" is used in place of the latin "manus" - a hand - ie a worker.
Finally what about the small furry creatures from alpha centauri. No -one takes them into account...
I must have missed when he faced his accusers in court instead of fleeing judicial process and hiding out in an embassy. Not the act of an innocent man. More like the act of a guilty fugitive.
And you also missed the bit where what he was alleged to have done would not have been regarded as rape in the UK or US - only in Sweden - and even then it is a special category,
More importantly you missed the fact that the whole rape allegation was arguably a trick to get him to a place where he could be extradited to the US because of completely different issues. That was the reason he fled - not the rape accusation itself. He is on record as being perfectly willing to answer the rape charge provided he was not moved to a jurisdiction where the other issue could be raised to extradite him to the US.
such vertical integration mergers -- while they can cause very serious market harms -- are often more difficult to make a case for than mergers where direct competitors are eliminated.
I presume should read

Really accurately it should be noted that he was accused of rape in Sweden, on a legal basis that does not exist in the UK or the US.
The person who made that accusation did so long after the event and under the influence of a now discredited lawyer who had ulterior motoves.
Later that charge was withdrawn by Sweden, although the UK (strangely) continues to pursue him for evading arrest for it... You may not like Julian Assange - but no-one involved in this affair comes out well from it.
Actually my main complaint with the environmental lobby is that they spiked nuclear power in the 70's in most western countries. Only France continued with their programme and they got to 75% nuclear electricity generation.
If the remainder of the western world had done the same then there would currently be a lot less CO2 in the atmosphere.
The other point I would make is that we have no way of knowing how the earth's ecosystem will actually respond to the CO2.
The range of scenarios goes from "we are already on an unstoppable course for a catastrophic runaway" to " feedback mechanisms will stabilise the climate at a point not much worse than where we are now".
Spiritualists would say they have it all over the rest of that group, and are way, way, way to the right (over the horizon, so to speak) on that chart. :-)
We (that is: scientists) understand the mechanisms of evolution and AGW far better than we do those of gravity
This is flat out incorrect!
Put simply when you say you "understand" the mechanisms of evolution etc what you mean is that you have (at best) reduced the complexities of a biological system to Physics. Gravity is part of that physics. So if you don't understand gravity then by definition you don't understand evolution etc either!
Usually this kind of thing doesn't happen because the person being criticised is one of the reviewers for the later article.
In that case the whole argument takes place behind closed doors and a much better paper results.
If this didn't happen here then the NAS have made a mistake.
Maybe, however, it did - in which case Jacoboson has already lost the argument with 2,3 or even 4 other reviewers and two or three journal editors or subeditors.

Plus, if you look at the data, it seems that the major downturn correlates with Chernobyl, not a specific action by lobbying groups.
I looked at the data. What you are forgetting is that nuclear projects take many years to come to fruition.
The decisions not to proceed with the projects that would have been built in the late 80's / early 90's would have been taken many years earlier.
