So India has a process for turning agricultural land to manufacturing land. Compare that to Europe, where such endeavours are often impossible completely (if you are a landowner), and quite easy (if you are a local government). We've h

Oh, corruption still exist, but most people are too poor to play in that league. Compare that to "developing country corruption", where you can often ... ahem ... prematurely show your gratitude towards an official for as little a

Which is a great analogy that shows how difficult the argument is to decide. If you take a scissor to a reproduction of a piece of art you have not created yourself (and for which the protection timeframe has not ended yet), create snippets

It seems like it actively discourages creating bonds and friendships in exchange of a "greater common good". It also seems like they should have gotten an ethics committee approval on what is very obviously a psychological experim

At my school, no rules - or kids - had to be "broken". It was not supression of a behaviour, the behaviour just did not exist. If people behaved badly, the group was self-governing, making clear to the offender that their behaviou

Then it would take away from other powerful factions, which will then ... overthrow the state. The idea of an unified, altruistic populus which will put the average wellbeing over their own is utopian - in both senses of the word. Reading s

The first function of a state is to ensure the continued existence of the state. Which is threatened a lot more by civil uprisings as compared to an external actor, especially in a time when international relations are relatively stable (cu

Stenography is quick writing using a vowel-/tone-based script usually used to record the spoken word. You are thinking about steganography, which is hiding something inside other data. The ZIP thing is a nice trick, but by now is being

I feel you are unnecessarily combative in your approach. I was making a general observation on the merits of different sourced encryption algorithms. I also would like to point out how your false dichotomy leaves no legitimate position when

A non-standardized, homebrew encryption scheme does not necessarily have to be worse than a standardized algorithm - even though it often is. But if implemented correctly and by someone who knows what they are doing, I'd trust a homebr

I have been discouraged to use that form because native English speakers have corrected me that unless I am a British monarch, it would be incorrect language use.

Because degrading prison as a deterrent works so well, as evidenced in the low crime numbers of the US, as compared to rampant crime in Europe, where prison is much more human-rights-compliant.

Low-altitute, quick-decay orbits are fine as long as the satellite does not get damaged. Once one satellite is hit by something, the debris field will spread to all kinds of orbits, some of them pretty long-lived. [1] is a fascinating read

While I do think CCC made the wrong call here, probably ending Congress for good, let's just assume that the kind of people who attend Congress may not be the most healthy of the bunch to begin with.

The Congress has been doing this the last two years (labelled RC3). It led to a very different experience (as random interactions just were gone (they tried to avoid this by a JRPG-style web interface)), and there was a notable drop in qual

Summer is not a good time for a Congress, for large event venues like congress centers tend to be fully booked by then. Which leaves camps - but not everyone loves the idea of camping, and then you got the weather gods to sacrifice to (I vi
