Just add "Y" and "no Y" to the criteria. We can handle having competitions with age, weight, ability, and formerly gender.. Just add Y chromosome, and then no prejudice, or assumption, and nothing to take offense to.

They're letting us know what we should have already known for a long time. It's not the abuse of power that is the problem but the power to abuse. Decentralize all the things!

Like "Literally" "evolving" to mean "metaphorically"? When "X" becomes "Not X", that's not evolution but coopting. It's degradation, and it's often purposeful. "Libertar

I hope and doubt this will change JRE much. On the topic of libertarianism.. Almost all statists share some libertarian perspective on some issues. No libertarian has statist perspective on any issues. There are a lot of self proclaimed l

Utopia is not an option, don't fall for the fallacy. Americans believe that freedom is the best option we have. Vigilante justice is the only possible justice. Again, the universe has it's own "enforcement method". An

Which is one of the reasons I don't quote Ben Franklin, who had some points despite his Statist faith. Let's not get caught up with logical fallacies. Points stand on their own merit, despite how some misuse them.

There is no need for more "enforcement" of responsibility than what is. Ostracism, and/or starving, freezing, being shot, to death, etc., is sufficient. Government is the disease posing as the cure. Government doesn't &

Freedom is for the brave. Those who prioritize things ahead of freedom should not live in the one nation which exists to protect freedom. Libertarians understand that there is no greater danger than lack of freedom. Obviously statists don

If Spacex can get Starship flying in the next three years, I would think they could meet this deadline. Unlike Mars, there aren't the same launch window requirements. Even if Starship isn't flying, Falcon Heavy is the best we hav

I suppose what I meant to ask is, does anyone have any evidence of this being actually true? If so, how would one specifically mimic a closed lid? In lieu of us doing our own experiments, has anyone discovered the appropriate size/st

Is there any chance this is true? If so, is there a way to trick the hardware into switching microphone off, even while being used?

I know that some people are only as efficient as they're forced to be. I hope there are efforts to take what is needed, and make it more efficient. There are efforts like Commander X16 to make a new 8 bit computer, and others where p

I have wondered how it is that my Mac Plus became a machine with almost no noticeable delays when I upgraded to 4mb ram, and now I have 8gb of ram, and a less responsive system. I realize my system is far more dynamic today. I just wonder
