I'm not saying there is anything wrong with driving fast or hunting/shooting guns - I'm just saying there is a context in which those activities are not acceptable, and that context is when you are acting unsafely and subject

Then why not speed on a track, or some other closed environment? I imagine that shooting guns at targets is fun too - but most people wouldn't find that to be an acceptable excuse for shooting guns at targets in a public park.

How much time do you save by speeding? To me, speeding significantly, especially for short trips, is futile. Say in a 20 mile commute, 14 miles is on the highway with a speed limit of 65mph, 3 miles is on a road with a speed limit of 45mph,

OK, but imagine this situation: I have affixed a monitor with a webcam to a robot that represents "me" in an office. It is able to sit at a desk, attend meetings, etc. I work from home in some place with a lower cost of living and

I don't think the house comparison is a good example - a house in Palo Alto can only be utilised in Palo Alto. A remote worker could work from anywhere and produce the same output, regardless of location. Pay levels based on location s

I don't see how two people producing the same output deserve different salaries based on where they live - why should geographic location dictate my salary relative to my peers?

Well, the title says you play the game by modifying the game's source. Turns out you don't modify the game's source, you modify specific snippets of code that are provided on the page. Last weekend I hacked around in the sour

Still not clear on what the situation is on stocks that are denominated in bitcoins, and that pay out dividends in bitcoins, such as ASICMINER. Is it possible for the dividends to be treated as qualified dividends?

My issue with pending comments requiring endorsements is that I have been here for several years and I only have 247 karma. I browse regularly but only tend to comment when I have something good to add. I don't try to game the system,

Maybe I should have quoted the site. They list the benefits as 2 weeks of vacation AND 12 days of PTO "to be used however you want" AND 8 paid holidays. So what's the difference here between PTO and vacation? Can you get an e

We sort of have this system already in place - it's called part time work, and it's generally reserved for jobs that don't offer benefits like paid vacation time or health insurance. If I am willing to work 3/5 days a we

No thanks, I'll wait for Oculus to release something that is guaranteed to work on my PC and not get locked into a Sony product - especially not after the rootkit debacle, and retroactively disabling linux on the PS3.

Underneath, it uses DSP.js also, so I'd imagine it's pretty similar. I am able to get autocorrelation & FFT frequency results out & graph them at about 50hz without any optimization on my rather old laptop in Chrome.
