But why do you have to sign that contract? Why does this private organization have the power to force you to sign a contract before purchasing property? Because the munucipal government has granted them that power. The way the bill of right

Its not the government imposing these restrictions, its your neighbors. If there were no government for them to impose them through, they'd use other institutions, or else just the threat of violence. You can imagine a government-free

Very unlikely that this has performance that competes with Sony and Microsoft. This is an integrated GPU on a battery-powered device with limited thermal regulation. The PS4 and Xbox One are always plugged in to AC and have plenty of spac

I haven't taken that high of a dose, nor have I taken red vein, but the guidelines I've read suggest that at 10g you're likely to experience uncomfortable levels of nausea if you don't have tolerance.

The delivery method matters. It's not accurate to consider the dangers of kratom just by looking at the dangers of the active chemicals. One important difference is that when consuming the kratom leaf, you will get nauseous and throw u

The parent did not imply that they thing women should be subservient. The charitable interpretation is that they're making a comparison with previous generations, when women were — without making any value judgements — more likely to b

Stupid that satellite electronics don't have more radiation shielding. We can refrain from nuclear detonation in orbit all we want, but the sun could still EMP us at any moment. Maybe it's expensive to lift heavy shielding into or

There's still a lot of value in a mostly centralized network operating on a protocol designed for a decentralized one. That means that people who want to opt out of centralization can, and it limits the walled garden effect.

There's very little evidence to support this claim. Some things were decentralized in the past, now most things are centralized. That does not establish a cycle.

Its one thing to be under surveillance by a grocery store's security cameras and another thing when those cameras are sending all your data to the same central organization. Right now we aren't that great at integrating all that d

Could a network be trained in software on powerful expensive hardware and then programmed onto some kind of neural FPGA that uses these memresistors to be used in power/space constrained systems?

Why would they fear regulation? Their competitors become subject to the same restrictions.

I don't know of this is the sort of thing you witness. Usually the asshole doesn't have anyone to berate because the point is that the parent left without their child, so the parent isn't there. They call the police without

That's a misunderstanding of what free time is. Free time isn't unproductive time, its unrestricted time. Free time, if fully exploited, can't be worse than the alternative because you're free to do the alternative if it

The server does have to have access to the plain text password in memory, you know. I don't see why you think it's worth sacrificing guarantees of password strength to uphold some kind of taboo.

It doesn't really have much RAM, I don't know how useful Rust would be for anything but prototyping, I don't think there's been much focus on size optimizations.

That's its control system. What's interesting is that all of its actuators are soft. You can imagine that a set of simple soft components like that simple oscillator, combined with some small rigid components containing a microcon

The point that the parent posters are making, quite obviously actually, is that it does require a few choices to begin an addiction. You don't get addicted to cocaine without ever taking cocaine. I don't agree with the moral concl
