Sounds oddly similar to a database deadlock. Wonder who the optimizer will select as the victim. But that's what happens when you put all your manufacturing in one large transaction.

I don't disagree with you actually. I believe that building codes generally keep us safer and create a better standard of house. Most people don't want to become test subjects for an experimental technology. My point is just that

Yeah basically this. Trying to build an eco-structure or even a mostly earthen home in the US you are basically relegated to a sparsely populated counties or taking your chances squatting on Federal land. This was quite eye-opening to me on

Started as a /b/tard circa '08 and now read mostly /pol/ and /lit/ because their threads most often follow an argument to its completion. This makes for good reading IMO. Still go back to /b/ occ

Prices have been steadily rising on MTG cards for several years. It was hard to find a loser in the past 2-4 years if all you did was buy boxes and sell them a year or two later. People are looking for anything that holds value to put their

Many institutions are exposed. Most university loans are federally backed. All home loans are understood to be federally backed since '08 and most low income home loans are officially federally insured as well. US Treasury bonds which

Apologies I was referring to the birth-rates I referenced below that sentence. Basically our population pyramid compared to other countries.

I mean the US is going to shit, but it's important to ask: "Compared to what?" Our demographical outlook is actually much better than any other developed nation. China's economy is based on the export of manufacturing go

BTC generally goes to where electricity is cheapest in order to mine efficiently. In some cases, this electricity would otherwise be wasted if it wasn't being used to mine crypto. So the actual additional electricity being generated i

Woah, this was a good read. I had no idea average people outside of Western countries were so restricted from the global marketplace. This is a system designed to keep you all poor. I am beginning to think that there is no tool more importa

I guess it does bring down the cost of the movie ticket overall.

I find the whole line of reasoning in the xkcd comic quite amusing when it comes from crypto 'shorters'. Admittedly, I am on the 'long' side when it comes to crypto and decentralization. Suppose your government actually

I still use safari on an iphone6 to browse youtube, reddit, and whatever else. I like that it saves my tabs for me. I have old ones sitting from nearly 5 or 6 years ago that I still go back to occasionally. I also like purposefully obfuscat

Don't you have to pay extra for the movie anyways? I recall Disney recently charged a movie ticket price for the showing of their latest princess movie. At that point, you are really only saving on snacks. I agree that that's not

Modern democracies want arbitrary lockdown privileges and the freedom to forever 'track and trace' people using public health as the excuse? Color me shocked. I guess 'terrorism' has lost its luster in the eyes of the mi

I like this solar panel idea as you might be able to cover quite a bit of thrust energy required. Batteries add a lot of extra mass however, perhaps this would only be functional for day-time flight and then switching over to a chemical fue

You are required to have a copy of your driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance information in your car while driving on public roads in the United States. I believe you can refuse to present these, but this will result i

I actually agree with you. There is a lot of talk about the disparity of justice in America and how we are not actually so free after all. I believe most of this feels good to say because we know its true, but after we leave the seminar we

Excuse me but PRC = People's Republic of China correct? How would it be xenophobic to criticize a government? This conflation is so pervasive and toxic to the discourse. The Chinese government does bear some of the responsibility her

You are correct, I didn't address the basis for the cost difference until later in my comment. Trucks are more expensive due to the number of drivers needed per freight rather than the cost of a roads vs rails.

This quite literally happens with the FBI on a regular basis. Most recently, the plot to capture in Michigan governor was in fact founded, organized, and mainly staffed by federal law enforcement. They goaded a handful of 'regular&#x27

While I agree with the sentiment that no one can be prepared for an FBI ambush every day of their lives. This is a teachable moment. Law enforcement often use tactics like this to convince citizens to voluntarily testify against themselves.

I watch this about once a year just to remind myself. You are required to give your name if asked. You are sometimes required to provide identification if asked in depending on your jurisdiction. Do not talk to the police, it can never help

Shipping by boat is much cheaper per mile than train. Generally shipping cost functions like this gradient. Ships < Trains < Trucks < Aircraft Obvious considerations other than cost: Ships can only come to port. Trains likewise can

Well let's see if I sprain my cerebellum with this one. Why is it there a lack of good research into critiques of anthropogenic climate change and its subsequent ill effects? I would expect some kind of rigorous evaluation on at least

This is actually a desired outcome of Robinhood's business model. They go through great effort to make their trading app feel like a slot machine without giving off the appearance of gambling.

Guess I was wrong. Glad that didn't become a bigger issue.
