The first amendment itself won't be overturned, but they very well may try to exclude cryptography as a form of protected speech. The federal government never wanted to allow it in the first place, they just realized how difficult it w

Possibly, but I saw no reporting on any protestors that were not local and I still can't find any evidence of that. Also I would tend to assume that the local activists there on principle (not poor) were probably not the same ones thro

Don't mistake it for sarcasm. I don't doubt you had real cause to be threatened. Just pointing out the irony. As someone who also comes from a relatively poor background, I would think that, while threatened, you also understand w

Oh yes, the "poor" rich people being threatened by the actual poor. Very threatening indeed.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say for certain that his visiting of these sites is what inspired him to the shooting. Is it inconceivable that the thousands of police shootings over the past couple years, increasingly public, took

Except that Twitter is not a private company. They are a publicly traded corporation.

Perhaps there is opportunity for someone to provide a service which fact checks news stories and provides an API that returns a simple score for a given article based on objective checkable facts.

Also a fun fact; you can make a non-reversing mirror by putting two mirrors perpendicular to each other at 90°. When you look head on into both mirrors where they meet, you will see your image the same as others see it.

It would probably be difficult to prove with certainty, but depending on what the passwords are, you could potentially be able to do something like that. For example, if there are enough accounts that have the same password (which is also r

I think an influx of newcomers might be a symptom of a shortage of quality developers rather than a cause. I suspect the cause would be more to do with an increase in demand in the job market and unfilled jobs, which encourages a lower bar

I agree that doing away with the autoplay attribute on the video tag is probably not the right thing to do. It definitely has use cases. However, I think it is completely reasonable to allow users to configure their browsers to not allow th

I agree that he probably isn't much of a believer in the cause himself. But more Republicans than not support it, and plenty of Democrats are at least publicly beholden to Christians as well. While not unthinkable, getting Christianity

I am no fan of the Clintons. Personally, during my lifetime, Obama is the only president I halfway respected, with his stance on state surveillance being a notable exception. I think there is a small amount of corruption with Hillary, as I

Is a quantum jump the same as or related to what I have referred to as a "quantum leap" in the past? IIRC, a quantum leap is supposed to be when a electron changes it's orbit. Which I believe was also thought to be instantane

China and North Korea do a pretty good job of "closing that Internet up", all without the help of Bill Gates. While I doubt Bill Gates would be willing to help with this endevour, it's not inconceivable that someone else will

Sure, because then people will just stop having abortions. People never had abortions back before they had a legal right to it, right? If abortions are banned, the only thing it will cause is that abortions will be done in non-medical set

I got a formal education and degree in software engineering over a long, hard fought four years, which still has me about $25K in debt. I got my job by getting noticed through my GitHub blog, to which I dedicated only about a half hour ever

I don't know if I am more creative when helping my co-workers with their problems, but strangely I do feel more motivated to find a solution when it is for someone else's work. Weird.

Surely there are plenty of plants containing chemicals which if injested in some way could cause a change in cell mutations.

I'm not sure that this could prove that. I believe that the mutation rate for non-smokers that develop lung cancer should be elevated as well. Perhaps there is a statistical difference, but it might not be easy to prove with certainty.

I think your definitions are almost correct here. Addiction is actually defined as a medical condition ”characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences". So addiction is technically a mental thi
