I wouldn't be wrong if you just charged me for carbon. I'm sure there's plenty of things people are wrong about carbon emissions and have no idea, because no one pays for the negative effects of pollution and therefor everyon

You probably waste more electricity running your dishwasher instead of by hand than running a laptop. If battery usage is a problem because of climate change, then tax carbon and you can decide to cut back or pay more on dish washing, food

Yeah, but for me its more about it being illegal than actually being a good laptop.

I've never wanted an Alienware laptop in my life, but as a resident of Oregon there is absolutely nothing more that I want right now than an illegally powerful laptop.

The government only has the powers granted to it by the constitution. If the power for the executive to unilaterally conduct searches was not given to it, then it doesn't have it. Just because it doesn't say the government can

You mean if there was a strong implication that there wasn't a genuine choice, but an adaptation to hardship brought on by human rights abuses and an authoritarian government? Call me hypocritical, but no. I don't think I'd h

This is the lifecycle for every business. You start out niche, exploiting underutilized and untapped markets and features to grow, then when you get big enough you can compete on scale, like those businesses you out-competed.

I feel like the entire world has forgotten what a monopoly is. Apparently both Apple and Google are monopolies despite being competitors of one another. Programmers clearly talk about developing apps for one platform or another and sometime

Dr. Phil is widely and routinely criticized for calling himself a doctor. The internet says Dr. Laura has a "Ph.D. in physiology." I had no idea Dr. Ruth wasn't a real medical doctor and I feel lied to learning that now. Your

I never understood what was so important about Maxwell's Demon. If an external, supernatural force acts upon a system to reduce entropy how is this in any way contradictory or surprising? Articles, like this one, explain the thought ex

Its not considered illegal if you're actively doing business with them. I believe there is a period after you've done business with a company where they can send you follow-up spam.

Actively working against US foreign policy goals seems to be a pretty egregious act. If proven true, that seems like it would seriously erode or destroy the US alliance with Israel. There's a lot of institutional weight towards support

Yes. I don't think they're doing any real investigative work with cars either. But of course the likelihood of actually recovering something that big and complicated does go up slightly anyway. And I still don't think they ca

What do you expect them to do? Fingerprint the scene of the crime and run it all against a database of petty thieves? I know my city of Portland has bait bikes and things like that, but I think people severely over-estimate the abilities of

While not literally an assassination market, the souljahboy story demonstrates the site creates them: a player can use direct action to force an outcome to occur, rather than predict it as intended. For tweets, its silly. But what if someon
