Yeah, it's a bit sensationalist. By that logic you could argue that writing on a piece of paper is 4-D: horizontal and vertical position, what letter/symbol is there, and color. You could add font and underlines/italics…
Just so you know, ' is pretty much always used to designate feet, " is inches. Source: I'm a mechanical engineer in the US.
Not the person you are replying to, but I think they are referencing how SEGA ditched home consoles and is now all software and arcades. From what I have heard they are doing extremely well with arcade machines,…
Agreed, reputation is critical for a terrorist organization, just like how gang members brag about how "hardcore" they are because the shot someone.
Not the gp, but "pointless" killing would be more like someone killing people because they were bored and had nothing better to do. Extremism is all about ideals inspiring action. The hate and retorhic IS the point for…
The question is, could this technically be considered polygyny under certain stretched definitions?
I was struck by the D'Arline, probably the sweetest pun I have ever heard.
Agreed. The ethical implications of this also need to be considered. As much as I hate the "think of the starving children in ___" trope, artificially increasing your matabolism is increasing the amount of calories…
Agreed which is why the issue gets so complicated. Drawing moral lines is tricky. I can't think of anyone I have met who has argued that an abortion 24 hours before the birth would occur naturally is morally acceptable.…
Or even "method for submitting a patent application over the Internet!" If you actually managed to get it, that might actually be stupid enough to get some legislation passed. At minimum it would halt patent…
Not only was it the side of the prison, but students were actually TAUGHT in a former prison for a while in 1910 until a school could be built.
I have thought about this a fair bit, and it seems like the only real way to completely eliminate such risk would be a benevolent AI overlord, as the problem you mentioned is rooted in human nature. Realistically…
An allergy test can be as simple as a doctor dipping a small plastic spike in some concentrated allergen, then poking you (lightly, not enough to break the skin, just enough to leave a mark that will fade in a few…
The absolutely dreadful launch of Assassins Creed: Unity probably did not help. Consumer confidence was dropping fast, having a refund option encourages trying new things and takes some of the risk out of AAA pre-orders.
Agreed, it could be argued that those who drive below the speed limit do more damage than most terrorists due to lost productivity and pollution.
Or better yet, build islands around it so they have no access. (Of course I am just joking here)
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. A few lazy/greedy people in the wrong place who don't think long term can do a lot of unintentional damage.
I know this happens with most state lotteries. I can specifically confirm that the one in Florida was supposed to be for education, but like you said, the budget was cut by an equal amount a couple of years later. The…
It could be a FOV (field of view) problem, try upping it to 80-90 degrees. Many games designed for console assume you are 10 ft from a tv, not 2ft from a monitor, so the default to as low as 60 degrees. I know if I…
Worst I have seen is for U-play "forgot my password". For months it has said to do 2 side by side capchas, but only one image appears, but with two entry boxes. Their official response is to do it through their forums,…
He never said the majority of tor users are criminals, just that the proportion/percentagefraction is higher than non-tor traffic.
While I agree with much of what you say, your "safety" justification confuses me. If someone is wanted for a lesser, non-violent crime, it is arguably safer for the police to knock on the front door, as residents often…
Mine is a bit less professional, I was playing a MMO (forgot which), and someone had hacked their way into the company's servers and stole some credit card numbers. I googled "MMO name" hacker news, and saw some…
My experience suggests the contrary (full disclosure, I'm Catholic, although I don't go to church regularly). Your argument is against religious INSTITUTIONS, which are, like all system we create, flawed. Religion…
