If we secure things so there can be no financial war, we're left only with war. Kinetic war. Of course, that also wreaks havoc on finance. Is that not so?

I wouldn't have commented if they didn't name it "Ultra Omega 3-D" which is about as bad as the quantum nano shampoo with techron they try to sell me. One can of sardines has >2x the omega 3s and is less likely to be

"stagnant company" Why must every company sustain boundless growth and 24-hour engagement? Change and growth for their own sake can be cancers. Twitter does what it does and people like it (as seen by the fact that they all use it

I'm not calling it a grand conspiracy, but clearly making money by locking other people and companies into a patented regime is the goal here.

Nevertheless, that is the reason for its invention, and for its use, so LCEVC is completely counterproductive if the goal is to not pay for every device sold as a laptop/phone/gpu/cpu/etc maker

Instead of me pointing to random other authorities (which you could find yourself), let me ask you this: Why do you hear about McCullough often? Why among the millions of doctors is he one of the only doctors that can be found holding his p

For any readers who might be caught off guard, Peter McCullough has been on a notorious press circuit talking every quack medicine theory under the sun; I'm not sure if he's after infamy, money, or both, but what he is not after i

Which law in which state in which circumstances? If a knife salesman tells me his knives can't hurt people, and signs a contract saying he'll assume all liability, I am nevertheless liable when I stab someone with it. The judge wi

Whatever Mercedes says may not be what the law says. It may not be possible for them to take the liability from you. It may be criminal negligence or something else to not operate a car on a road in a state that says you have to. Maybe they

Consider this an arrest, rather than imprisonment. We don't have to prove a man with blood on his hands is the murderer before we arrest him, that comes later. People are dying every day -- obviously lawsuits and criminal trials take y

Well, a film can probably reach a wider audience than HN. It seems like he wants society to reconsider itself, in its many millions, rather than for just our relatively small group on this forum to reconsider society.

Firefox, too, is beholden to the ad industry. That's the problem. They could get popular fast by blocking ads by default, but of course, they'd have no income then. Nevertheless, there's a bunch of other stuff they could do t

Not any more than you worry about someone kicking in your shit-tacular cheap door, or drilling the lock out. Homes aren't often fortresses; you'd build differently if you lived in an unsafe, unstable area. Lots of homes in America

Houses need roads and plumbing and a fire dept and electrical and all kinds of stuff, dog catchers and such. These things aren't a buy once product, they require maintenance fees. Civilization costs money, and its worth it.
