This court continues to make decisions that might be defensible if you were making them for the first time, but go against decades of precedent in which time many laws have been written on the assumption that things would work a certain way

Can you give examples of works you consider to be hard sci-fi?

Communicating FTL breaks causality just like FTL travel does.

by neaden 2y ago
There's basically little to no truly hard sci fi under that definition. Even the Martian fudges things to make the storm happen as the plot needs it to. I can't think of any other recent movies or books that fit your criteria, tho

St. Michael is an Angel, so either has existed since before the Earth was made or if you want the earliest literary reference from the Book of Enoch which dates to around 300 BCE but might have existed in an oral tradition before that. Eart

I think in this instance they got the email associated with the iCloud and messaged her on that. Edit: she replied to a comment on the article: "when trying to reset my phone they are prompted to enter my iCloud password. My iCloud ema

It also incentives for hostage taking like behavior. "Oh wow sure is a nice forest I own, it would be a shame if I cut it down if only someone would pay me to keep it."

Chicago still has a Men's Hotel similar to this, https://newrepublic.com/article/161808/ewing-annex-hotel-hou... though I think it is more focused on transient laborers and semi-homeless men then young people

I mean, Medieval English villages had violence, we have court records of it. People got drunk and got in fights, threatened to burn a neighbors house down, and all sorts of other reasons why people turn to violence that Hobbits seem to do o

I feel like this article misses something obvious, which is that Hobbits aren't humans and the world of LotR includes people doing things that we would describe as magical. Hobbits for instance have a semi-magical ability to hide by ho

It's just a picture, like the tiny knights fighting snails. Not something that happened.

To be clear Jaynes is pure pseudo scientist, I don't think there is a neuroscientist, historian, anthropologist, or a classicist in the world who thinks he has any value. It's an interesting idea for a sci-fi setting like Westworl

I've always heard that in Japan people don't generally buy a house to live in, preferring to knock it down and build a new construction. That seems like it would be an important contributor since this is more like how many empty l

Yeah it's pretty easy. I just went to a list of movies from 2001 by box office, number 100 was actually a cult classic now so skip that and I see the Tailor of Panama which is a less popular movie, steaming on Amazon https:/&#x2F

Doesn't this partly come down to how you define most books? Like yeah, if you go to a bookstore and look at the shelves you are seeing the books that the store thinks are going to sell, not the thousands of books they chose not to stoc

This is from 12 years ago and has a lot of speculation/worries for what will happen next, anyone know a good update on what did happen? Edit: Looks like Cosimo Di Lauro died in prison in 2022.

I wonder how common this is. I've never experienced it, or heard anyone else ever mention it was a thing so I assume it's not very common. No mention in the article about it but that could just be because no one knows.

While this is true, in this case clearly they know he isn't using it for a loophole since they are the ones who asked him. Sure it's technically illegal and I can buy that it isn't a sting operation but it also very obviously

I think the big difference is that with web search there will be a couple of reputable sources that will be at/near the top, like web MD and Mayo clinic. I can search and click one of those and be fairly sure it'll be accurate. Th

Looking at the Starbucks app right now for example on their menu: Chai tea is black tea with clove, cardamom, cinamon, and ginger and no milk by default, Chai Tea Latte is that black tea and spices with steamed milk. You'll also see Ch
