How does step 5 work? Switching DNS servers is trivial.

"Disaster" is a very subjective term. One man's disaster is another's normality. How many people died between 1812 and 1815 because there were no Trans-Atlantic telephone lines? About 30 thousand soldiers, wasn't it

Imagine for a second that the year was 1880. You would say that telephones aren't essential, wouldn't you? In the previous 25 centuries of recorded history we have lived without them. Nobody's going to die if they were to sto

Well, that's not a problem when scraping. Most scraping libraries have ways to retain cookies.

All this is true, but also somewhat irrelevant. In reality the amount of actual hash work is completely negligible. For usability reasons Anubus only requires that you to go trough a the proof of work flow only once in a given period. (I th

At the risk of defending quackery, most claims about inflation being inaccurate involve the changes made to CPI estimations in 1996. I'll go as far as to say I've never heard any claim that is inaccurate going back to the 1970s.

Yep. Though I'd rather generalize that to "The ethical teachings of Rationalists ( Shut up and calculate! ) can lead you to insane behavior." And you wouldn't even need to know about the cult to reach that conclusion. On

Often, after you've figured out who's guilty, you'd need to look for more evidence until you find something that the jury can understand and the defense counsel can't easily argue against. I've seen people make argu

Surely you can empathize with an act? In fact it's probably a requirement in order to be able to enjoy cinema and theater. And actors aren't the only ones that pretend to be something they are not. If you don't want to distin

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I have to admit, I mostly wrote my comment based on my recollections and it's a case 20 years ago I barely paid attention to until after the bizzaire conclusion. But looking trough Wikipedi

No. The fact that they were wrong is almost irrelevant. The faculty denounced the students without evidence, judged the case thought their emotions and their preconceived notions and refused to change their minds as new evidence emerged. Im

Nature abhors a vaccum. After the October revolution, the genuine study of humanities was extinguished in Russia and replaced with the mindless repetition of rather inane doctrines. But people with awakened and open minds would always ask q

The reason why people can't be bothered to get formal training is that modern philosophy doesn't seem that useful. It was a while ago, but take the infamous story of the 2006 rape case in Duke University. If you check out coverage

I feel the ship has sailed here. Once the police started to record every interaction with the public, along with their existing habit of placing traffic cameras left and right, they acquired enough data to track people. Trying to restrict t

Who says the feature will be used to make an arrest? The heuristics are clearly about who to pull over, etc. Evidence for arrest/search will be determined afterwards. And, as far as search is concerned, it could be as simple as getting

That's not what the sentence you cite is saying. If they decide you are suspicious, they'll get an email alert about your location.

> That isn't true. There are a finite number of living people and if you just kept building housing in every major city, there would be enough for everyone who wants to live there. That's sort of of neither here nor there. Sure

The city of Vienna has a fairly unique history. It used to be the capital of a massive empire that's now gone, and thus suffered a period of fairly prolonged decline. It's population declined from 2.4 million in 1914[1] to 1.5 mil

What freeloaders are you talking about? This is complete nonsense. Residency controls exist to solve the Economic Problem. The amount of people that want to live in global cities is endless. Even if you socialize all the housing in New York

The really funny part is that this is probably fairly easy to achieve in the United States. The only part of the Soviet system you'd need to implement is the migration and residency control regime. Currently people all over the world

On the 8th of August 2018, the FTSE 350 closed at 4320. The current level is 4980 giving us a 7-year rate of return of around 15%. I assume the United Kingdom of Great Britain must be a paradise for the workers, right?

Or perhaps they desperately need a new computer but keep putting it off because they are busy with other tasks. And they'd be slowed down, at significant cost to the company until they get the free time to fill out the form. Furthermor

I'm pretty sure you are completely correct on the last part. Nobody in Republican management wanted a second Trump term. If the candidate wasn't Trump, Republicans would have had a guaranteed victory. Imagine that infamous debate,

The global issue is that elected representatives are becoming weaker. The idea that a city hall would need to organize some sort of public meeting before approving a construction project is a fairly new one. The city council is elected to r

None of the things you describe are remotely fascist. Winston Churchill was a fairly nationalistic and xenophobic person who was often in the extremes of the British political system. A strong desire to make others conform to your worldview

And the rejection of common sense is often used to defend ideas so bad that one has to put serious intellectual effort to create arguments for them. A lot more "intellectuals" defended Pol Pot and Milosevic compared to ordinary ch

Well, on its own merits, the idea hits the same mathematical problem. If tech enterprises are even slightly selective it wouldn't be difficult for tech people to be smarter than most. Smarter than most isn't an exclusive club. It&
