Two questions:

First the New Yorker article cites a 1 in 3 chance that the big one will happen in the next 50 years. That seems high based off of the 1 in 300 chance cited elsewhere in this thread. (but I haven't taken many stats classes) Is this based solely off of that number, or is there some other stuff I'm not aware of?

Second a couple other faults have been referenced elsewhere in the thread. What other faults exist in the area, and what risks do they pose? What kind of quakes can they generate, and how likely are they to "go off"?

People mainly use Tor to increase the amount of privacy they think they are given. Can you convince me that Tor actually makes anything more secure, knowing that over half of Tor's funding comes from the USfg?

Where is the brightline between neglect and abuse?
Punishment to some people is much harsher than others. A girl recently died of hypothermia near where I live because staying outside in a barn was used as punishment.
