What a strange way to take a dig at non-metric measurements. The "units" command makes it trivial to get whatever you want: You have: (G earthmass / earthradius)**.5 You want: mph * 17693.688 / 5.6517331e-05

English common law is largely not codified but the result of practices and precedent, and is still part of the legal system in most English-speaking countries, as opposed to continental-style civil codes that you mention which are more expl

Why not both? You buy the car, and you pay a recurring subscription fee for the service.

Sure, but we all have subscription fatigue. Say I subscribe to the New York Times and the Atlantic. But sometimes I like to read articles in the Washington Post or the New Yorker. How many subscriptions are enough? It's just like strea

A large part is that the marginal cost per copy approaches zero. It was hard enough to charge for software when it came in a box on a store shelf, now it has to be wrapped in a service.

Indeed, why are innocent dogs and bulls getting the blame here? Clearly this is about artificial human shit.

Unix itself was a commercial system, licensed by AT&T to various other companies, that nearly fragmented itself to death before being resurrected by the free/open variants (*BSD, GNU, and Linux). See https://en.wikiped

Expert witnesses are inherently adversarial, like the court system itself. There is no "neutral" evaluation of the reliability of a piece of evidence. If one side hires an expert to evaluate something, they are under no obligation

The angle of the lighting is also odd, from the upper right at a higher latitude than the sun would be for Earth (or Mars, for that matter). It's a bit strange to have the same artificial lighting for Venus without an atmosphere, too.

I'm not sure a modern iPhone photo (say) is any more "objective" than a Kodachrome 64 slide, but there are sure going to be a lot more of them available!

Almost any decent book about history, economics, philosophy, science, or technology, really. This looks like a sequence of autogenerated tweets from a libertarian technobot.

For hotel rooms, an HDMI adapter can usually get you hooked up to the TV. It's usually better for movies than work, though, and sometimes the TVs are so locked down you can't get it to read the HDMI in.
