If I message with someone on a dating app a few times and then make arrangements so the first time I encounter them in the physical world is a bar where did I “meet” them? The subjective answer to this question might be at least part of thi

I mean asking for the login information of every caller, and then using it in the most disruptive way you can think of, would probably start to get someone's attention pretty quickly.

About 30 years for me. As my username might suggest. To this already excellent list I would add that the Santa Fe Institute (mentioned above) is continually putting out new work and papers on this topic. Examples here: https://ww

That's definitely a reasonable point of view. There's another point of view though that says that the aviation system is particularly fragile, and of course it has a history of being used for acts of extreme violence. So there&#x2

I mean that's definitely an opinion you can have. But I think society has decided people who want to engage in acts of resistance and sabotage shouldn't be allowed in airports. As you might be aware there's quite a history of

Go around how? The point is it’s a consolidated monopoly. The same people own every step in the chain. They use this particular step to extract monopoly profits.

Everyone is talking about the legal approaches, or fine print of contracts, and so on. But if you want the real answer, like what actually works, then try to shame them in public or to people they care about. Like if the CEO posts on Linked

This is great and very happy to see it. Mailchimp is annoyingly expensive for what it is. With that said the sending of the emails is the easy part. Deliverability is hard. Sending via SES is pretty likely to go straight to spam folders or

I'm not misreading your comment. The supposed "experts" within the legal profession are utterly corrupt and can't be trusted. That's my point. It's an insiders club and they all support each other and buy vacat

Good point. There’s no sign at all in our culture of a complete breakdown of the concept of “experts” whereby everyone with a claim of academic or positional authority uses it in service of partisan wars. Imagine how disillusioned the gener

That doesn’t work though, the requirement for the timing to align waveform by waveform is too high, and the speed of sound is too slow. Also the frequency response isn’t going to match exactly. To do it right you really want digital analysi

I have observed this effect directly in real life. If life circumstances get away from you and you get to the point where the one provider wired to your area, like spectrum say, gets turned off for non payment after months of ignored bills,

Probably a little more accurate to say that they can’t afford internet at all, due to poor credit or a long prior stream of unpaid bills with the internet provider.

It’s an application fee so it applies just for trying to get a mortgage, which is entirely different. The mortgage companies have to pay it even for applicants that don’t end up actually becoming customers.

Maybe it's not a bus, but it definitely ain't a train either. It's about as fast as, and the same capacity as, a standard MTA articulated bus. I think the proper term is people mover. I might suggest "amusement park ride

Yeah no. You can take the subway to a LIRR station called Jamaica or a parking lot in Howard Beach. Neither is actually at the airport let alone within a mile of an actual check in counter. NJ transit isn’t a subway, and even so you still c
