This, plus: how about regulation that forces waste management to bury all the plastic in one spot in the landfill, so that its more easily retrievable in the future? Whether for reuse, or if a plastic-consuming incinerator or microbe is eve

I can get a tax rebate for purchasing an Oil-powered vehicle, or are you deliberately misreading what I posted? Tax rebates for "going green" is irrational because it defies its own purpose! If EV's are great, they're gr

Democrats are just as irrational. By giving tax breaks to renewable energy, letting Priuses use the diamond lane, the whole solyndra scandal. They talk a good game, but strangely their utopian plans never quite work out, but their big gover

No, the real question is how much is it to set up a "trust" or some other bullshit entity in the US Virgin Islands and do all your trading that way - completely legal, completely tax-free, just like the 1%.

They make money from selling lavender. Not from having pretty fields. If the police won't do their jobs, you can take matters into your own hands.

In addition to this, I wonder if the farmers could set up props to discourage photography and sabotage the shots. Ugly banners, balloons, drones with ribbons, blaring offensive music, signs with semi-offensive verbiage. Or boxes of rotten f

Different motives: mentally ill vs spiritual belief. and there are plenty of initiatives to ban guns after terrorist actions done by whites. not sure what your point is.

how would any random person test their cures? Joe Schmoe thinks fasting for a week and then consuming 100 ml/kg of deionized Jagermeister will stop leukemia dead in its tracks. So which dying cancer patient does he get to test on?

I agree, and I could have been more precise. I highly doubt we'll live in a world where the AES algorithm or source code or even binaries is illegal. The crime will simply be if the gov can show you were using information-hiding practi

It's not incredible at all if you understand that all the power in the world is ultimately derived from people with guns.

In theory, yes that's a big part of the problem. In practice, however, once the gov charges you, you're effectively guilty-until-proven-innocent because your court-appointed public defender is likely not going to be trained or equ

For centuries, the law has recognized information as property. Encryption is just a transform of information. The government can argue that they're simply banning certain types of property - something they've done for at least 100

if Russia discovers how to hack Cortana and keeps it private, that in no way impinges on NSA's ability to use the same hack to compromise, say, an Iranian system. The more possible avenues for attack, the better (for attackers).

Tinfoil theory incoming: NSA pressures windows to have the largest attack surface possible by default. With the hope that any given targeted system will have at least one piece of default bloatware still running, presumably they have 0-days

Using average power is kind of misleading: The core inside 0.20 of the solar radius contains 34% of the Sun's mass, but only 3.4% of the Sun's volume. Inside the 0.24 solar radius is the core which generates 99% of the fusion pow

Sure, and any larger company will just decline and smaller companies will just terminate the contract. Not a lawyer, but I doubt you could sue even if they just violated the contract. All it does is tell them you agree to work there so long

Because there is no reason they should be, so the decision can be handled at the legal level and not be as subject to the influence of the journals. They would have one chance to fight it before it was cemented into law.
