If that's what the person I was replying to meant, they should just say that. They shouldn't say, "It's too long to read." I don't agree at all with your point of view. I still think consenting adults can take

I don't get it. People want comprehensive details about what companies do with their information, but they also want short privacy policies. You can't have both. And if you look at Google's privacy policy, it's not legal

As with most literary criticism, I'm pretty skeptical of this. Thinking in the opposite direction, Snow Crash would be easier to translate than Neuromancer. Neuromancer would be easier to translate than Finnegan's Wake. That doesn

If you vote for a budget hawk, he wins, and then he does budget hawk things, in my book, that's getting what you asked for. It's true that you don't get to choose the exact shape of what you are getting, but you do get to cho

Perhaps this makes me a terrible person, but I sometimes half hope to see things like this go through. The people of Alaska asked for this, and it will be interesting to see if they like getting what they asked for. The main reason it'

Maybe. If the average winter temperatures go up, the air conditioning will be at least partially offset by lower heating costs. Of course, there are also theories of global climate change where both the high and low extremes will increase,

The supposed advantage. Many perfectly productive languages don't even offer the option to specify the type at all, and not just in the inference case. As far as I'm aware, nobody has ever convincingly demonstrated (with empirical

To me, it's not entirely clear why we're bothering. Do we actually envision shore bombardment as a useful combat modality going forward? IIRC the types of ships that can mount this weapon are the same types that are currently vuln

The author probably knows this, but I think a lot of these bad things are dependent one one another. Probably all of them. Poverty (food stamps) probably correlates strongly with all of abuse, especially physical, pain, prison, cognitive di

I had a similar reaction to you. People seem to have very limited imaginations when thinking about the types of things that could exist. Or maybe the title is incomplete. Maybe the paper is saying something more like, "Could life exist

Modes like this are not intended to provide hard security. They are not designed to deal with malicious recipients. Rather, they're intended to provide a barrier to accidental or unthinking dissemination of confidential content. I

While 700 square meters is indeed absurd for any family, 150 square meters seems a bit limiting. There are reasonable use-cases for houses larger than that. A living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms and an office will be hard to eke out of t

Some people don't have the luxury of living in bespoke housing, and legitimately do want a roof over their head for the minimum price possible. Some others are not architecture aficionados, and would prefer to save, even if they could

Does it matter how the ship is flagged? I could imagine solutions like, "If you dock in Europe and your ship is out of compliance, you must pay $X in fines." You can tune $X to whatever is needed to cover the calculated negative e

Broadly speaking, the law in question is Title 21 Chapter 13 of the US Code. Buying and selling controlled substances without appropriate authorization is illegal. Disruption of illegal activities by law enforcement is generally legal, prov

For anyone wondering why RECs are not enough: they don't make you carbon neutral, not even in theory. Even though renewable energy is better than non-renewable, the processes that built the renewable plants might not be carbon neutral.

I wish that people would stop with this unproductive line of commentary. Google shuts down consumer products sometimes. Pruning back the set of unprofitable things you're working on is good business. Expect to see Google and literally

"As it affects everyone at the same rate." That's a flat tax. A regressive tax is one that affects the poor more. However, you are right that it is probably regressive, since the rich normally place more of their wealth perce
