How are you going to enforce your eugenics program when a sizeable chunk of the population resists it?

An Astronomical Unit (AU) is the approximate radius of Earth's orbit around the sun. At the time of this post, Voyager 1 is a bit over 144 AU away from Earth. https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/

Not without the old taking measures to keep that from happening. Gab itself has been deplatformed to a degree, Google and Apple banned their mobile apps and their DNS registrar threatened to yank their domain over certain user posts.

Even California has castle doctrine laws. Many are unaware that in the U.S. the police is not responsible for an individual's personal safety; see Warren v. District of Columbia , Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales , etc.

Yes. "I thought this high school bullshit was over!" is one of the most depressingly funny phrases I've ever heard eighteen-year-olds repeatedly utter.

Roughly seventy personnel to about half as many posts. This was during the surge in Iraq, so half (or more) of our garrison was out in the sandbox at any given time anyway. This was a shift-specific tool, so it only had to account for cert

This thought did occur to me, but I didn't have the time to continue iteration past the first revision. Police blotters don't write themselves, as it turns out. If I had to do it today, I'd probably put the list of pair scor

Do you feel that your research was sold to the public by the district as a panacea?

Back when I was enlisted, my sergeant had a bit of a conundrum. Troops were grumbling about being repeatedly assigned to the same posts, and we didn't have enough time during the shift to scramble the roster while ensuring adequate ma

Not saying the clearance will be revoked, rather a "Please don't do that again" accompanied with a mild finger wag.

Having once held a U.S. security clearance, I can guarantee you that Defense Intelligence Agency investigators are going to have a word or two with Musk. Occasional "experimental" marijuana use prior to the clearance issuance is

That analogy is a little disingenuous as both divisions make PCs. Executive management bears at least some responsibility in something as egregious as that - the fish rots from the head, as the expression goes.

Beyond that though, Lenovo has a track record of cramming pre-installed, hard-or-impossible-to-remove malware on its machines. On some models, it's even at the BIOS level [0]. At a minimum, I would be very suspicious of anything pre-i

It reads like a Slashdot comment, 50/50 odds on whether it would be modded +5 Funny or +5 Insightful.

> with syncthing, you need to operate every piece of the system. Again, this is false. The P2P relay/discovery nodes are operated by third parties donating server time and bandwidth. The user is not required to operate those parts

No. There's already a peer-to-peer relay infrastructure in place for when your devices can't make direct connections to each other.

Ultimately though, the state derives its power from a legitimate monopoly on violence. If an entity continues to defy the laws and softer enforcement doesn't work (fines levied, assets frozen, etc.), eventually the state must use physi

Channels default to unlisted and invite-only, and the per-channel permissions system is fine-grained. It's pretty simple to adjust permissions using Riot - I haven't tried it with the other clients, though.

It looks like you completely missed the point of non-governmental entities abiding by the principle of free speech: > Free speech relates to the government punishing or silencing people for what they say. Versus: > Free speech is a co

It would more accurately be described as corporate-flavored collectivism. Of course, that doesn't make for a good ingredient in angry epithets.

You are conflating implementation with philosophy. While the First Amendment is one such implementation of the notion of free speech, it is not the philosophy of freedom of expression itself.

While some may agree with your defense of the heckler's veto [0], constraining the discussion of freedom of expression to government-conducted censorship is disingenuous. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler&#
