This is exactly why I anticipate every grade school teaching kids Esperanto any day now As someone who uses both but mostly metric, neither one is difficult to use. Metric relationships between volume and energy and…
If something is “arguably” illegal, then that is what the law is for. We in fact have a very complex and refined branch of government designed specifically to decide whether something is illegal or not, and it works far…
This is such an overly simplistic take. Depending on where you are in the country, you could easily suspend some combination of power, water, heat, road access, banking, or internet connectivity to individuals purely by…
Yes, a free and legal exchange that meets the definition of censorship. Many famous censorship schemes operate entirely in the private sphere. The Hays code, for instance, censored movies for decades and existed purely…
Hate speech does not have a definition in the US, and barely has a definition in countries where it is banned. I am sure almost everyone who has ever been banned for political reasons has had hate speech given as the…
No, it isn’t actually the clutch doing most of the braking, it’s the inherent friction of the engine moving without combustion
Car prices in America are among the lowest in the developed world though. It’s difficult to compare education as you’re getting a wildly different product depending on what specific university you go to.
You must go to the Scrolling Autonomy Rebellion site for that. Unfortunately it is very low contrast.
People will step on the path when they are walking on it. Rubber wears down paths, as does any sort of abrasive sand or rocks between the shoe and the road. There is a significant amount of wear even on stone paths from…
We have devoted large amounts of time and resources to studying the differences between seemingly similar ant colonies, and we have lived alongside ants for our entire existence as a species. Imagine now that we had…
That’s different because the iPhone is not a generic object like a fruit. You could totally call a business Macintosh Records and get away with it though
Just because someone exists doesn’t mean you get to quote them anonymously in the article. You don’t write an article about a Mars rover and include “some geocentric societies claim that Mars is not real and space is…
That is four times the entire US foreign aid budget, perhaps it is a typo?
They are long term on many things, but not things that concern national pride. It is unclear what threat a semiautonomous HK actually presents to them, beyond just being a bunch of people near Shenzhen who can say mean…
If I hit someone repeatedly with their toaster, and they uninstall the toaster, so I beat them with their frying pan, the fact that they owned a toaster isn’t very relevant in the situation, the hitting is
Fortunately he has fit bits on all 10 fingers so it wasn’t a waste
And that they grew to this point before imposing this "curation". It seems to be a recurring theme with these companies to grow to a monopoly with a place for relatively free discourse and then to do this as soon as…
And with Uber, you can pick up and go to lyft if/when they treat you poorly, without completely losing an audience you spent years building You might argue that the audience is YouTube’s and not yours, but in practice…
I thought they were moving to Puerto Rico, and wondered why they would pick now to do that
I design a lot of consumer electronics. You obviously notice the way they strip obviously, but you can run them against a file to see how hard they are if you’re trying to choose parts/suppliers. There are other things…
This is the case with a lot of implementations, and it’s really lot a good idea if you want people to actually use it that way. Ignoring the effect that kind of system has had on pilots, in the automotive industry it’s…
Either we put the lasers on the fish or I’m out
It's not about whether you trust them not to read your emails, its about whether they would be able to turn them over to anyone with a valid request. The decryption is local, they could send modified code specifically…
You can replace the ssd on that MacBook. It won’t be cheap, but storage that fast isn’t anyways. I have the 1tb ssd from a MacBook in my windows desktop
