If you depend on a single company to supply certain items, you have a big problem already. Pouring money in that company will mostly help the executive bonuses, not the national security.

Reasonable articulable suspicion of committing a crime is a bar. Quite low, but "suspicion of committing a crime" is not met based just on an anonymous tip, as SCOTUS said quite clearly. It is enough to investigate, not to arrest

The idea is that you should already have the decision in the right way, if you push more towards decentralization then you are already in the danger zone. Yes, you should not do that.

I would argue that firearm ownership per 100 people is very misleading, you have more guns than owners in US. Comparing ownership per household (how many house holds have guns vs total number of households), the difference is way smaller, m

The similarity between swatting in US and Germany is pretty shocking: they raid and arrest people with no proof. Good job /s

It does not matter you believe, accusations should not be enough to swat someone. Accusations != proof and proof is what matters.

Honestly, I don't think the weight of the car matters too much in an accident with a bicycle or pedestrian. I was hit a few times by cars at low speed (10-20 km/h) while riding my motorcycle and the weight of the car did not matte

We do it different in Europe: pay disproportionate by engine displacement. My father's car has 10x the taxes as my mother's car just because the engine is 1.6 times larger (2.5 liters, nothing outrageous). At the same time my moth

Intended consequence would be: cars pay for the damages they do to the road. Even buses. What is wrong with that?

I find the left wing in general (not just US) to be etatist. That makes it interventionist in everyone's life by definition.

Serve The Home with a $3,000 switch with 16 x 100 Gbps ports: https://www.servethehome.com/mikrotik-crs520-4xs-16xq-rm-16-... . I think everybody should get a couple of these for their home automation tasks /s

I am confused. In the past decades free society is not the direction of the governments, things like free speech are regressing a lot in Anglophone countries (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zeeland) and even Germany. Are you talking about free

This is an excellent option if you are willing to accept hundreds of millions of people will die in the process and that it will take a hundred years or more for that to happen. Development does not happen overnight and it takes a toll. Tha

This ESTA thing is weird. I had to go through Syria many times in transit to Jordan when it was cheaper to drive than to fly, but I never thought this will cause problems in the future. Same for Iran and Iraq, lots of Romanians used to work

Tom's - not the same quality it used to be. Serve the Home - some articles only. Others are bad. C & C - no comment, not enough experience with them. Occasionally: LTT (Linus Tech Tips), very commercial Hardware Unboxing Gamer&#x27

There was a time in early 2000's when both sites were great and very competitive. I was reading both to see what opinions they have about products they both reviewed. Quality was very good on both sites, it changed later.

Some of their reviews are either weird or questionable. I read them quite regularly, but I no longer trust most of what they say.

Around the year 2000 (don't remember exactly) there were 3 sites I checked daily: Anandtech, Tom's Hardware and XBit Labs. Since Anand and Thomas sold their sites the quality dropped enough that in the past few years I rarely open

There are many ways to look at this. Maybe the standard lib of such functions should be implemented as native functions in the language (1). Or as a standard external function library (2). Or people should copy-paste the functions they need

It is almost useless because (1) it does not specify a term that should be zero by default and (2) it still requires another court to decide what "reasonable" means in each case, with the time and cost associated with boing to cou

That's exactly the case. Driving from Bucharest to Vatra Dornei, Romania. No highway yet, the one in construction (A7) is still going around the Carpathian mountains for 370km, it will make the drive faster but not shorter. Also drivin

It is not something I do for the fun of driving, it's my father's house and I need to help there. There is no high speed rail, train takes 9 hours too. As I said, there are situations and situations, cannot draw conclusions too fa

560 km, almost no highways, a lot of driving through the mountains at 50-60 km/h. Flying is an almost straight line of 320 km. Ikarus C42, cruising 160 km/h.

Hard to tell. I have a frequent route that takes me ~ 2 hours of flight (13 liters/hour, 26 liters in total) or ~ 10 hours to drive with around 50 liters of gas. Flying means burning 50% less gas. But for others there may be better dri

The barrier to entry is not learning how to fly. That is the easiest thing for most people.
