You're only making it harder on the wage slave behind the check stand. Theyre required to ask.

You don't need verifiable facts to know that retail and warehouse workers are wage slaves. Thats why unions are needed. Need a verifiable fact? Try living on $10/hr and tell me how that works out for you.

I think rather than a sideways elevator, they should make one that runs on an electrified track without a cable or counterweight. Just a motor that runs on a cog or something. You could then have multiple elevators on the same shaft, going

Elevators have huge counter weights that weigh more than the whole cab. I've read that it takes more energy for an elevator to go down than up, depending on the load. I think (dis)engaging these weights all day would be one of the most

Another important difference is the free-labor-from-your-kids benefit. From what it appears, Indian families are more cohesive and their kids are less rebellious (at least 1st generation). I'm aware there are also American children wh

Isn't TCP a lossless protocol? I thought it ended the session if the packets were dropped. Edit: downvoted for asking a question. Thanks reddit.

How else are you going to parallel construct a case against someone if you can't intercept their communication using extralegal means?

You have no proof that the accident wouldn't have occurred anyway without the update. Or that their updates didn't save one or more lives. That's my point. Not an "accurate" but misleading accusation at the software

Saying it caused "a fatality" is being disingenuous. It's along the same false pretense as "we shouldn't use self driving cars at all, if they lead to even one fatality". Fatalities aren't good things, bu

Asking how much was due to a specific cause isn't "reducing the problem". Anxiety is among the most treatable of all mental illness.

How do they mitigate narco subs? Sonar patrols I presume?

But you could find out who is legitimately using that copyright on YT and retaliate against them. For instance, if you use a clip of a Prince song that is taken down, and you determine that BMG music owns the Prince catalog, you could send

Hopefully the agencies have already thought of this, but it would be pretty easy to set up a honeypot with a veteran TS or higher clearance employee and tell him to set up fake accounts and see who comes knocking.

I lose way more sleep thinking about the dirty deeds committed against us by our domestic intelligence agencies. I don't give 2 fucks if China gets blueprints for a defective, overpriced fighter jet that kills it's own pilots.

Would be excited to see this technology combined with the "underbelly bubbles" technology that I heard about a few years ago where they reduce drag by releasing air bubbles under the hull. Yeah it takes energy to do it but the dec

The increasing cost of a service has nothing to do with climate change. The cost of everything has gone up since 1985.

I read $SOMEWHERE that most sea level rise is/will be due to thermal expansion of water, not melting ice.

Sounds like you're projecting a lot of your own issues with that reply. Someone asked for instructions. Someone else gave a rough sketch. Stop reading more into it than there is.

You could probably recreate that with a web scraper and browser plugin: Use the bloated webpage several times while a learning algorithm watches which links you click. Once it's trained, it then renders the document in an invisible fra

I don't disagree. I think that a full mitigation plan could help. For example showing that fiber can be easily chopped up if a pipe clogged. Maybe biofilm could be mitigated with an electric charge on a conductive outer sheath? I can&#

I don't know if laying cable is one of your biggest challenges, but I assume it would be along with right-of-way. What do you think about the idea of using the sewer system to lay either fiber or 10+gb copper? Before you think about ho
