"the government should stop defining marriage of any form (leave that to religion or personal tradition), and simply define all these rights under civil union" I don't see this as anything other than arguing a trivial semanti

"Once the platforms to rent out things, services or time are stable, textbook economics states that the cost of using them should fall." I'm not sure what textbooks say about economics these days, but the pure supply and dema

This seems like an interesting diatribe, but gives no indication that you read the article.

Why are you asking this question? The answer is none of your business. One should be able to travel with as much cash as one chooses.

In what cases does modern technology produce stronger, as opposed to more ordered, EMF than naturally occurs?

That sort of makes sense, except that pricing should follow supply and demand, not marketing costs. There should be lawyers willing to work for less when the market is oversupplied and salaries drop.

So why is it so expensive to hire a lawyer? Shouldn't I be able to get a decent lawyer for $50-$80 per hour at these salaries?

No, however if this happens to you, you should immediately ask if you are being detained and if you are free to go. You should be permitted to leave before any K9 arrives.

High burn rates serve VC interests. Not surprisingly this article was written by a VC. High burn rates make companies desperate for more cash on worse terms, diluting founders equity and control. High burn rates also indicate the company is

If consumers are to consider the morality of adblockers, I wonder when advertisers will consider the morality of their emotional manipulation and large media organizations the morality of the advertising content the include.

Not to discount the importance of good documentation, but this is not true. Many of the best uses of APIs historically have actually come from reverse engineering undocumented APIs.

If you actually read what I wrote, you would have understood I was referring to water on planets. Obviously there is not likely to be liquid water in the vacuum of space. The "space is cold" "planets are hot" might have

As much as I'd like to entertain this idea, we have a pretty clear evolutionary history on Earth. It seems unlikely that humans have any direct Martian origin. It is very possible that aliens once lived on and destroyed Mars, though we

This is absolutely incorrect. Pricing is based on what people will pay, not development costs. Developers have high loan costs, and can not afford to let units sit on the table simply because they'd be "losing money" when mea

Excuse me. As long as the pressure is at least 0.006 atm. Is that what your point is?

If there is both vapor and ice, there must always be at least some water. If water is plentiful, space is cold, and planets are hot, liquid water should be common, regardless of how narrow the temperature conditions for it are. All temperat

The graph chosen here, the ratio of a toxic does to a typical dose, is a poor proxy for actual risk. For instance, cocaine has a relatively high risk of causing heart problems at "non-toxic" doses. GHB has a low ratio of deadly to

It's true, Microsoft is suddenly a palatable company without the greedy, vengeful, angry attitude of Steve Ballmer. With the anachronistic culture of the founders now entirely purged, I see no reason why they would not become a credibl

That seems highly unlikely, unless he plagiarized himself. You might find something similar, but unlikely a split face with similar styling, the designer/code split, etc.

Exactly. While it may be flattering to be copied, rote copying by a designer for what is presumed to be a demonstration of creativity is not acceptable. Some of these are perfectly reasonable adaptations, others are quite close to duplicate

If the Universe is too dangerous for life to exist elsewhere, what are the chances that it's not too dangerous to exist here? Not very high. Either there is an abundance of life out there, or we are most likely just experiencing a brie

What you say is also largely true. However you can in fact have a foreign owned enterprise and operate, at least until you come on the wrong radar. The original statement, "Any commercial company operating in China needs to have 51% Ch

While the DOJ should, but probably won't, correct it self, and should have gotten it right the first time, Andy Greenburg deserves a significant amount of fault for this misinformation. Both articles use somewhat ambiguous language, an
