Privacy isn't "no one can know anything about me, ever, even if it is my choice to tell them". By this logic you are violating your own privacy when you introduce yourself to someone with your name. The actual concept of priv

So on this theory, will millennials turn to Tories, just a little later than their parents? Since they will be inheriting the properties their parents own soon enough.

Sure it can be. You can have some bare minimum of housing available in the boondocks which is cheap and accessible to all, and then have much more desirable housing which may be a good investment if the region is up and coming.

I live in a place with similar temperatures to Las Vegas, and, I think the trick might be to have a very sealed up house, with very good insulation. And then, suck in as much cold nighttime air as you can, perhaps even running the AC at nig

If the credit network is going to charge you, say, 2% to process the transaction, why not make the user pay for that compared to much cheaper transaction methods, like direct bank transfers?

OP said "Spend 5 minutes in the company of a rastafarian", and I talked about my experience spending many hours in the company of one. Maybe OP should have made a better appeal if you didn't like my anecdote.

I've spent many hours with Ras Rody - he's not a weed dealer in a Bob Marley shirt - he runs a vegan food truck in Santa Fe. Super nice dude. The food is absolutely incredible. Probably the most I've ever "tasted the lov

And those are just the tablets we've found. It's quite likely there are millions of other tablets just sitting in caves and and old, buried cellars waiting to be excavated. There are nowhere near enough Assyriologists in the world

You could also send it in an email or text message to a limited set of friends, and then one of them screenshots it and posts it to the wider internet. You could also be caught on a recording or video saying the thing to a limited set of fr

The US Navy has no need or desire to go deep like that. I'm sure they would figure out how to do it if they needed to, but it probably would be a ROV and not a little capsule you stuff some humans into.

Less than 0.2% of the population is homeless. And many of them would probably have a place to stay(with family or friends) if they were capable of successfully living in a house.

I don't understand the issue with facial recognition if it is only used as a lead, and isn't considered evidence in and of itself, and a person's rights are respected even if they are flagged by the facial recognition softw

Subreddits may be nearly infinite, but good, descriptive subreddit names are not. r/videos is going to get more natural traffic than r/ReallyCoolNewVideos, which is going to get more natural traffic than r/asdlkajflaksjf.

The best apartment building I ever lived in in NYC was built in the 1920s and was built "naturally fireproof", where there were thick masonry walls between each unit to prevent the spread of fire. I literally never heard a single

It goes further back than that. In 400BC, Xenophon, while retreating from a failed attempt at taking Babylon, came across the abandoned ruins of a bunch of Assyrian cities, like Nineveh and wrote about them. 200 years after being abandoned,
