I'd be paying a corruption tax, instead of an actual absurd amount of taxes. The horror. I'm being facetious but seriously. A world in which people believe that a supermarket scale has to be regulated by federal government or else

it is over the top. when I go to a store and buy 2 bananas, i dont really give a shit about whether the scale is validated. I want those two bananas and if the scale says its 2.19, and im fine with that, do I really care whether the scale s

Here's my problem with online password vetting: Once I type a password into such a service, the password has been compromised. I just typed it into a box for you to record. Do you record it? Probably not. But you could. Therefore, the

I dont know how much excess money you make, but its probably enough to hire someone from vietnam/india/the philipines on an either full-time or contract basis to work for you. Use that person as a bona-fide employee for one of you

You may have guessed that I'm not from the US. Some additional thoughts: I'm the last guy to want to pay high taxes, but I believe that some form of minimalist government is generally not a bad idea. What government is really good

Well, you may not like this answer, but: If cosine is just sine rotated by 90°, then we really just use sines. Except we write cosine instead of a sine with a 90° rotation because it looks less confusing :) The real goal is to arrive at the

do you mean that literally? overcoming laws of physics is a bit more difficult than calculating the n-body problem, to be honest. edit: to make this clear, the solution to the n-body problem is known. its just not analytical.

There is a lesser known uncertainty relationship that works similar to the one seen in position/momentum. This is especially treacherous since atomic clocks seek to measure time by counting energy state transitions in cesium atoms. I&#
