The address in this article (53 New York Avenue NE) appears to be slightly incorrect. https://www.google.com/maps/place/49+O+St+NE,+Washington,+DC...

That's exactly what I mean about proposing a notion that serves as a challenge to a point of view. I was pretty confident I was putting forward a statement that someone would take issue with, even if it's part of a sentiment I buy

A car is not a car without the human, with the keys to the car, sitting in the driver's seat, in a state ready and capable to operate the vehicle, and in possession of valid paperwork in good-standing, proving that they are legall

Is presence of species and biological diversity more relevant than transient geological evidence, asteroid impacts and tectonic activity? Without geological evidence (fossils) we would have no benchmark for non-living species. Arguably, all

Well, consider that one way or another, we've written ourselves into the geological record, as much as we've written our own history about ourselves. History, often airbrushed, is a sociological exercise, and so, it's always

Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because one party is doing it, doesn't mean we want everyone doing it, or even that we wanted it to ever happen at all.

The way I see it, without getting into the prevailing connotations of "hacking" versus "cracking," quantum computing only strengthens wire security (data in motion), by preventing interception, since observation results

Don't worry, I'm with you on this one. It's a garbage format, and it's assuredly a willful lack of organization as an exclusionary tactic, used to alienate people on some level, and require degrees of subordination among

Yeah, I have to scratch my head about the whole anonymous lack of a unique number. Were IP addresses not part of early packet switched networks like ARPA net? Still, worse than IP addresses are IMEI numbers, on your person frequently, as yo

While we’re kidding around, once I have your gun, all I need to do is trade a $1 bullet to get my ring back! Given the fanaticism of the gun debate, if laws don’t prohibit the medium of exchange, you can bet that anything from scrap copper

True! And now I’m realizing, depending on position in the network, the server doen’t even need to exist, if one only needed to MITM the request traffic... Geeze.

True, but email is pretty crufty with headers and markup, and that compounds with the flotsam of unread spam retained out of laziness, and for the sake of completion. Not to mention that duplication occurs with the endlessly indented prior

To be really dangerous, I think this would need to defeat client-side cache strategies. If the browser caches each resource, the server-side reads wouldn't account for repeated characters or overall length with perfect accuracy. Consid

If you don't think bartering doesn't work, I have a shiny diamond ring for you, if you're willing to change your mind.

And, oh yeah, by the way, even if we do “ solve ” this “ problem ” by mining asteroids, and unlock an unlimited supply of all minerals on demand at all times, how long before we import so much mass, that we drastically alter the concentrati

If you had to choose between food and toothpaste, you’d choose food. At that level, visiting a dentist isn’t even an option, and no income is disposable. Do people not face such choices?

The clues about flouride’s long-term action, and role as medication are usually avoided, because the medical curiosities that demonstrated flouride’s interaction with bone and tooth chemistry, and pointed the way to it’s discovery are possi

That science isn’t basic, considering the period in which the product was introduced. The manner of action is pretty subtle, and an impatient person seeking immediate results would not be inclined to believe in mechanisms that lack readily

Good job. Keep downvoting.

Wow, a downvote for paraphrasing a wikipedia article. Its side length is approximately 6% larger than that of the unit cube through which it passes. I fail to see any error, based on that verbatim quote.

I'm severely disinterested in regulated social media, even moreso than social media under any other conditions. If I can't write fiction, then why write words ever? Be it on the internet, be it on a website, be it on an extra spe

So, cubes have a margin of 6% play, if you need to pass any other cube through a given cube.

I'm sure there's a predictable set of interactions, with a minimum, finite set of required loops to support cellular life as we know it. Above the minimum set of operations and repeatable cycles, there are almost certainly special

Wow, Google. Inconvenient as fuck. Put it back right away. I don’t even want to use image search anymore. Seriously fucking shitty, shitty, shitty idea. EDIT: This is the result of litigation with Getty Images? Guess who I’m boycotting. T
