You're not exactly wrong, but accepting that some people should simply give up their claimed right to reproduce means you can easily genocide people by not paying them enough.

Self-employment is the only answer I have seen provided. From memory, some people said they were able to transition into it, some others implied they felt they only had the chance at contract work due to a long onramp they made for themselv

Then you'll just have people invent more smoke to hide the fact it's gambling. Trading card games are a good example. The game is, to a limit, one of skill, but you are gated by the cards you open in your scratch off ticke- I mean

ITAR is largely voluntary. I say this having looked at the regulations because at one time I wanted to produce/was producing things that fell under ITAR. In a lot of situations if you say it is not restricted by ITAR then it is not. Th

The FAA claims jurisdiction worldwide. Did you not see the case where Musk launched from India because he could not get reasonable US approval and they pitched a fit?

Nothing is self supporting on long enough timescales.

Yeah, I've seen it. Not many companies seem to pay well. An issue (on the employer side) is my lack of degree, but as stated I'm doing senior level work and have plenty of experience.

It's not uncommon to set up daemons that only talk to each other for infrastructure monitoring and reporting.

My concern is the mismatch between the timescale we communicate with people and the timescale of the trips (minutes or hours vs centuries). It would be such a massive transition during your trip that it is hard to adequately describe it.

I don't think it's fair to say "or immortality, or generational ships." You can make a one way trip, sometimes, but you can't meaningfully communicate. FTL is necessary or the universe is kind of boring on a grand s

This is a good one. The limits on the mass needed to construct the system are quite large, but perhaps you can get a weaker effect much more easily.

That's not a normal range for most of the country doing SWE. If you know where to get that type of job let me know. I've done blind, sent out tons of applications, whatever. Hurts to know I'm potentially screwing myself out o

The windows driver model is not semantically much different. There is greater cohesion at a higher level, leading to it being easier to create a shim layer for, if anything.

Most people in IT related fields aren't at doctor level pay. I suspect the sentiment is from commonly interacting with absolutely useless doctors. There are a lot of them.

When asked on the street people always say "yes I want healthcare to be safe" but if you actually see who is lobbying for certification requirements it is always incumbents. If people wanted and needed licensure for health, hair c

People already die quietly alone all the time. How far do we need to go to have everyone have a babysitter, especially at their own expense?

No they're not. They are related in theory if not in actual practice.

They're talking about an event such as being put on the terrorism no banking list, or being abused with lawsuits that you can't win and having your money stolen via those lawsuits. It'd take having physical, inconfiscable ass

There are a few reasons. An important but unfortunate one is that these areas have not received toxic chemical remediation. It is common for adults and children to have complications from lead exposure. A side effect of developmental impair

A lot of crime is opportunistic. You need to both know what you can exploit and also have some assurance there will be no repercussions. Someone may always be looking for that opportunity, and it may be a lifestyle choice. But it is still o

People are actually using it. I have some vague interest in Windows driver development and this hardware token requirement hit there first.

This isn't a tenable argument for two reasons: 1. How far off the bell curve do we need to go? Do we trade all rights to do anything for diminishing returns in safety? 2. These modifications are happening right now. Bad instances are u

I'm aware. Have you not seen the occasional news articles where someone with a cell/GPS jammer gets caught and fined for it? Last one I remember was a trucker jamming his company's GPS to prevent speed tracking. It's rea

Receiving of certain bands is prohibited, from memory the ones used on cordless phones and something else. All devices sold, say frequency analyzers, have to have a bandgap for them to pass FCC validation. It is common to remove these bandg

Kits are already easy to buy. People don't bother buying the kits because if you use the jammer generally you are found. Occasionally pops up in the news.

I still don't feel great about this. It should be up to the end user to not break the law.
