Yes, the Supreme court has given many "passes" to the government to regulate your free speech, but what I was saying is that it's important to separate the concept of "free speech" from the legal institutions that a

They don't give raw numbers for engagement / time spent in app, but I sorta wonder if that's not a bigger factor than actual lost users. When I would walk around NYC, I would constantly see people playing this game, in the

I got an email to this effect today. I don't remember signing up to get emails, though presumably it was years ago if I did. I unsubscribed and marked as spam, but why is this something that required emailing people about?

Did the police actually do anything? Part of the responsibility here falls on the police to say, "It is not a crime to let children play unsupervised, mind your own business." I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually ill

This is not a good reason to have kids if that is your only reason. Assuming your kids can mow your lawn from age 8 to 18 and they only cost you $100k over their lifetime (I'm guessing a conservative estimate), you're basically pa

Weren't electromagnetism and the weak force unified at some point? I thought those were two aspects of the same force, so this would be a fourth fundamental force, not a fifth. Am I off base here?

Your point stands regardless, but who cares if he committed adultery? It's completely irrelevant to the question at hand and not illegal.

Why do you still use it? If a company ever did what was described in the article to me, I would not only never use it again, I'd actively go out of my way to tell people not to use it. Have your experiences been much milder?

Why is there a total amount of change in velocity possible from solar sails? Shouldn't it depend on the mass of the thing being accelerated, amount of time under acceleration, etc?
433.
by x1798DE 10y ago
I don't understand the units here. Surely a solar sail causes acceleration or deceleration, so its contribution would be in m/s^2, not m/s.

I thought sandstorm was a self-hosted thing. Why do the certs need to be signed by a public CA at all? A self-signed certificate is fine (and in some ways better than a public CA) when you can verify the source yourself because you generate
