No mention of BigTable so far - ACID compliant NoSQL with transactions IIRC. But you have to host with Google. (For at least the data store component)

The capacity to abstract thought and the decision to classify it are two different concepts, but easy to conflate. As we form classifications our mylenic sheaths form around our neurons and abstracting concepts - even if apparent to others

You raise an important point. I imagine selling the cars externalizes the cost of financing the car and risks associated with the service.

Some blame the rise of ticks and tick borne diseases like Lyme on the demise of predatory snakes. If true, the balance may not be ideal.

They do. The promises don't materialize. Nowadays it looks like Olympics and its ilk (Pam am games) are just fraud by global construction contractors on the masses.

Lawyers are tools. (Being one, I feel I can say so, with a humble degree of confidence.) Certainly there's a give-and-take between lawyers giving advice and clients taking it, but by the "big X" their lawyers essentially do w

Fascinating. Except I created Gmail accounts with '.' in them and now get email intended for the Gmail accounts that do not. Interesting reference, thanks. I'm guessing my account was created before intended restrictions cam

Does your email have a dot in it? Gmail has a bug, if I recall correctly, where people would get email from addresses with the dot stripped (eg a.b@gmail.com would get email from ab@gmail.com) I myself regularly receive email that appears

The relevant rules for trade wars are "national treatment" and "most favoured nation". You will see those terms quoted extensively in any legal trade dispute, notably before the WTO. Labour laws per se do not violate mf

I understand neurostatic means the opposite of neuroplasticity. Google is indeed unhelpful; I had never Googled "neurostatic", and it's possible I have the term wrong. That said, I seem to recall reading it somewhere. Intere

Often it seems that facts, evidence, and observation are derided as "left". I find John's commentaries to be suitably supported by substance, with constructive conclusions. I worry that characterization as "left" is

Reversion of a business enterprise to a partnership seems a rather overwhelming concern, as DAO seems to be creating full-liability (general) partnerships as a substitute for the modern corporation. The advantages of the corporation are not

Thanks for the reply. People can certainly be compelled to do things they would not otherwise do by what people would ordinarily call hypnosis. The focus on harm brings MK ULTRA to mind. However, a more generic definition is widely docume

Sorry, I should have posted a link. You are quite right in asking for proof. Here's an excerpt of the declassified MK ULTRA reports released by Freedom of Information Act in 2001 (as well as parts released previously), and printed in
