It's Boeing man. I won't get into too many specifics, but there's a reason they call it ScreamLiner. And it ain't because final assembly in the Carolinas is implemented to exacting, high quality standards, by excellent a

This is the correct answer. I mean, yes, Madison is heavily planned. But so is any city you build on an isthmus. You have to heavily plan the layout or it won't work. At the same time they made a north-east flowing layout. Now it may b

In fairness, just as any ban, it's obviously not really a ban. It's more of a codification of the government retaining for themselves the exclusive right to take such actions. I mean, that's just kind of the world we live in.

Meh. Probably the reality is that the internet is filled with propaganda. Every site. Every forum. Even HN is filled with anti-(put pretty much anything here) propaganda. Try to ignore the noise and tune in more of the signal. That's a

In my state, they proposed a list of words that can no longer be used in public school classrooms. To align the tests to the new mandate, there is also a proposal to remove those words from any of the tests taken to evaluate the students at

To be fair, every generations is "a generation of people who offload their critical thinking to authority or actors/actresses or pop culture." This didn't start with the generation currently under 18 years of age. I me

Meh. Probably not in China, since the math with respect to losses works out. The distance from, say, a sunny place like Lanzhou to Shanghai, or even to Guangzhou, is relatively close. But of course, exporting from Australia to the rest of t

They're likely hoping you figure all that out.

I'd say you two are pretty much like most Americans. ie - You readily identify the problems endemic to all the other Americans. I do it too. It's the way we're socialized here in the US via everything from the media and mus

Again, traditionally, renting your property on terms an owner unilaterally determines was seen as a right of owning private property. Provided you're able to find a renter who agrees to your terms, and provided your terms are legal, yo

One small catch, maybe even a constitutional hold up? It's not really your home if you are obliged to sell it after x years. The traditional societal compact with private property is that the property is yours for as long as you choose

That's not most municipalities though. There are a lot of places, particularly the high demand places, where the cost of acquiring the houses in the first place is the hang up. Everyone is certain they can get half a mil minimum. That

It's not clear to me that you can have an unrelated target? But that's a good question, can you take a canonical pose of peter, and make it perform an animation of jenni's dance? Jenni will have breasts and hips. Those offset

There are a lot of people out there who can make a lot of money flow, (and more importantly not flow), in any direction they want. There are a lot of people out there who can, say, go through all of your tax returns and make sure that eve

Problem is it actually decimate the engineers in Nebraska, South Carolina, and Texas as well. Oh! And don't forget the youtubers and content creators in Montana, Indiana, and Kansas. And on and on and on. It's not as straightforwa

This is exactly what happens with one exception, these groups don't have to lobby. The politicians know full well that many of the highest paid people in their respective districts are employees in tech. This is true across most of the

I believe you're correct. At the same time, we allowed the problem of economic harm to grow worse by not dealing decisively with the problem of online privacy from the outset. For this same reason, an argument could be made that ripp

The security argument against cloud based monitoring has sailed. With or without cloud based monitoring, our power grids can be disrupted. That's the commonly accepted meaning of "that ship has sailed" as a colloquialism with

You've totally missed the point. No one advocated ignoring the vulnerability. I, myself, specifically stated that monitoring should be direct. Consumers should unilaterally decide where, when and how their assets are monitored. The mat

by bilbo0s 2y ago
Yeah. I'm not sure everyone is really thinking clearly here. Don't get me wrong, they should get rid of this practice of cloud monitoring. A consumer should be able to access monitoring over the internet without an intermediary. T

True. This ruling says you can't subpoena data. It doesn't say you can't buy it. The free market is an enormous whole in our privacy rights. At the same time, it's crazy that we ourselves put all of our data out there on

* If you have 27% you could be the single biggest player in a given market* Not if your competitor, android, controls 70% of the market. That's what I meant about being insulting. In court, when we're making these kinds of claims,

while they are giving "gifts" and "gratuities" to the relevant judges There is a lot of corruption in the US. So yes, at times, they will allow that too. But in this case, the commenter was correct. We can't be go

I think by now everyone is aware that law enforcement officers, just like any other grouping of people, can be highly dangerous. We only get in trouble when we let these groups operate in a brazen fashion. Communities that don't wield

There were always a lot of financial imperatives to wed. The point is that now the financial imperative is not to wed. ("Girlfriend get serious! Why marry some loser who can't even buy a house?" or "Bro what? Do you

What are you even talking about?
867.
by bilbo0s 2y ago
Yeah. Marriage rate and divorce rate have plummeted since 1940. Probably not much to do with electronic media there. A lot more likely that financial and social pressures are squeezing what were previously considered cultural imperatives. i

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you wouldn't have to fake anything if you just didn't use electronic voting. Simply give a ballot to every voter and have them fill it out. Especially nowadays, as pretty much every election

Everyone has ‘cover’. It’s just the P&L sheet. If they’re losing money on that store, they’ll close it. If not, they’ll keep it open. But it’s not mandated to keep a money losing store opened. No one’s going to go into court and argue,

Even if it were, that won’t save you for long. Everyone in Nairobi can speak English. So can everyone in Accra. All the countries in the world are just catching up. The off shoring is just something that occurs naturally as that leveling ha
