I've been in a few accidents and have never been charged nor seen anyone else charged. If killing someone in an accident is murder, surely injuring someone in an accident is assault.

Motor vehicle accidents are generally not prosecuted as crimes, whether they involve bicycles or not. Bicycles are generally considered motor vehicles so accidents an accident killing a bicyclist is largely treated the same as an accident k

But does it index the results of the search of the index?

No, more correctly ObjC is compiled into assembler that uses a C/C++ runtime. Swift uses some C/C++ under the hood, and integrates it's object model into the ObjC object model (which is C). However, swift structs are not obj

Great point. Full disclosure is generally the worst policy. If you fuck up and no one knows about it shut up and don't make your family go through it. It's your guilt, be an adult and live with it. 'conscious clearing' i

Withholding information that wasn't asked for is generally not considered lying. Which is why everyone is calling it a 'secret'. It sounds like the big contention was that he wanted to contact his son, not that the son exist

No, I'm basically saying that the current CO2 problem is something we can engineer our way out of. There are plenty of other theoretical problems that I don't think quickly engineer our way out of, like escaping an expanding sun,

When did this supposed lie take place? It's really not clear from the story that any lie was told at all.

The facts are rarely in question, always the emotions. It's like soldiers, no one questions that they conspire to kill people, it's whether they are heros or murderers.

The history of humanity is doing things that don't scale, aren't sustainable, and then figuring out how to deal with the problems created by the massive leaps forward we made, utilizing the surpluses generated by ignoring the long

Who cares how fancy things are, in my province we generate 90% of our electricity from the sun. We have been doing so for 60 years, we were just smart enough to let the sun boil the ocean for us and harness the power of kinetic energy, rath

Incorrect, once you have a fusion reactor, you have sufficient power to weaponize it. Weaponized fusion is a solved problem.

by fleitz 12y ago
We already have a pretty elegant self assembling method of building fusion reactors, we just lack sufficient hydrogen.

The words conservative and liberal in American politics are more of a collection of platform policies than an ideology.

You egress filter everything that isn't tor, allowing any outbound connections other than tor will cause leaks.

I wonder if it's just my naiveté however it sounds like this is more likely to produce an X400 than an SMTP. The vision seems pretty grand and all encompassing wholesale replacement of the entire networking stack, rather than small and

Ok lets compare to the US... Alcohol is banned in many places in the US. In the US you can be executed with out trial by jury. If you're a cab driver you can be sent to a torture camp. Police routinely execute citizens with out fear of

This assumes that the traffic doesn't just spike right back up after it goes down. eg. Facebook may have a few minutes of $0 rev, followed by a few minutes of $44K per minute rev. Also, having a larger concentration of users online at

Yup, start the profiler up, use the application, check the call graph. At 100 MLOC the code base is probably a complete mess. Also, simian is probably your friend as it will identify large chunks of duplicate code. As well source control ca

Yup, the funny thing about coal is even from radioactivity perspective it's worse than nuclear.

Renewable is up there with nuclear for base load generation if one is not dumb about it, and it can be spooled up faster than nuclear because it doesn't depend on heat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Dam

Those technologies all have unknown unknowns. If we generate power some people are going to get hurt no matter which technology you pick. If we don't generate power some people are going to get hurt because we don't have access to
