5th amendment: "...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..." Pretty sure freezing someone's bank account based on some suspicion alone, is depriving them of their property without due proce

Bitcoin is hardly cost prohibitive. When was the last time you sent a transaction? The last one I sent cleared at 2sats/byte and was <$1. Are you going to buy your coffee with it? No, probably not, but that hardly makes it a useless

I agree with you one this...but for whatever reason it is not the prevailing opinion on HN. I think that is largely due to the fact that many people on here knew of it early enough to become fabulously rich, but dismissed it out of hand wit

Nice, much appreciated! This is handy for inspecting some large binary objects to json dumps I had wanted to examine.

I just got it along with family (both vaxxed and unvaxxed, there was no noticeable difference in symptoms). It was somewhere between a 'common cold' and the flu. Not fun, but definitely not something to panic about (understandably

ROFL, oh yes this is so much better and the syntax so much clearer than C++. ;)

My house is ~180 years old, and is of timber construction. It may not be as well insulated/air-tight as a modern house, but it is hardly "sticks". While energy use is higher, not having an entirely air-tight house is a good t

A 2 bedroom in Boston for $500k, where are you shopping, Dorchester?

Sure, it could happen (doesn't make it legitimate). Maybe the system could even get over the air updates curtailing your movement if you happened to vote for the wrong party in the last election, or said something naughty on twitter. S

You don't modulate the neutrino beam itself, but you could modulate the pion production beam. For typical neutrino beam experiments this is done with a large magnetic horn which focuses/defocuses (+/-) charged pions which the

Separate experimenters making claims to the same results is in itself a form of evidence. Believing otherwise requires either the existence a common error or a conspiracy.

You don't. Case in point the drift in measured values of the fundamental charge of the electron over time starting with Millikan. However, given enough independent evidence you can conclude whether or not the results of a measurement a

I did not say there was a need to personally verify the results of every experiment. Merely pointing out that the scientific process is not based on trust, but evidence. I would not believe a claim made by a single experimenter/group u

No, I have not "seen" an atom. However, I have done experiments in a lab which have produced results which are consistent with atomic theory. There is no need to have faith in the cartoon model of an atom. All that matters is that

Science isn't based on trust. It's based on evidence. You may "trust" that someone's results are what they say they are, but they must be reproducible and independently verifiable. If they aren't then its bunk.
