You're right, I guess letting some unknown entity use my stuff just feels weird. Money is the perfect medium for impersonal exchange of goods and services.

Not the GP, but: nope. Someone grabbing 5 cents from my wallet is not the same as me giving someone 5 cents voluntarily.

I guess traffic will always elicit emotional reactions in people. I bike through a tourist-laden, relatively narrow, street on my way to and from work and, my god, the amount of people just wandering around aimlessly seemingly having no sen

In most US cities your commute will be much more than 6-7 km though. The cities have been planned for cars for decades, so driving to downtown from your suburb will likely be a 20-30 min. drive by car. Not many people are willing to cycle t

Haha, thanks. I was a bit surprised how the 'ADHD'-hypothesis took off (many comments responding to it), as opposed to, you know, just not wanting to program all day.

I'd suggest taking a look around you and maybe ask that question to people you know in person. I know this feeling myself, especially when starting out with work after college. Always beating myself up over how I don't have any si

Yes it is. I think it's also Elon's very own :) And yes, it was carried into orbit with the upper stage of the Falcon Heavy.

I don't want to delete my account either, because I use fb to stay in contact with friends spread around the globe. (Granted: Very rarely to post something in local groups also.) But my bookmark points to facebook.com/messages and

I'm sure our Samanthas would still want us to be happy. Maybe they could provide us with a world of eternal bliss. We could call it something like... 'The Matrix' :)

See, but you're still thinking in current voice-interface terms. If I want to edit something that I "misspelled" (if this will even be a problem, since you are _talking_) I'll just tell my digital secretary "errr, I

Well, I guess you have to consult the Hague convention on warfare for an answer to that question. As mentioned in the article this was also the basis on which the generals opposed Haber‘s plans.

While I agree with you that humans cannot simply be labeled as good or bad (there‘s also a nice Solschenizyn-quote at the end of the article) your argument has one flaw: He not only invented chlorine gas he actively pushed for its use again

As mentioned in another reply, the actual laws will have to be implemented by the member states anyway. So the text for each country can vary and can be more specific. As for your strawman that I somehow argued to abandon all law: I won&#x2

Hey, thank you for the reply. Very interesting insight into living without a car in the US!

>The rules are so vague that any firm could be argued to be in violation. I think that's a good thing. So the law has to be interpreted by precedence set by the courts. If the text of is too specific you could have the opposite effe

May I ask where you ended up? If you're uncomfortable sharing the city, state would be fine. But: Where are the walkable cities in the US? I (coming from Europe) travelled on the East and West coast and both times was astounded by how

You just described my life for the past 3 months. It's winter though, so I just attributed it to that. Also I'll be quitting my job soon and then go somewhere where I don't have to deal with dark, cold winters anymore. I gues

I pretty much dismiss all 'the youth today' statements. People have always been people, so why would the youth today be so much different from, say, young people a hundred years ago (in what they think, feel and want that is). How

As opposed to being able to just freely walk around as you please? You could say that, why not. And if one insists on moving a 2 ton metal cage through a city going 30 mph or more, I think having to wait now and then is a reasonable trade-o
