I doubt encryption does anything all by itself. And apparently, encryption-using terrorists--who would be violating the law if such laws were in place--do kill children. Manchester, you know, it just happened. Nice.…
I've used a handgun to signal for help, to find lost people in the woods in Alaska, to hunt, to scare away bears, and for fun. And on a few occasions, I've been very glad to have a handgun with me stateside, because I…
Uh huh. Have you studied the genocides of the 20th century? How does a disarmed and helpless populace look in those circumstances? And since you think the government should be trusted to mete out all force, I'm certain…
If your idea of reasoned discussion is responding to my comments with logical fallacies, there's no point in wasting any more time on you. Good day.
Further to this, the reality is politicians who want to undermine information security don't give a damn about protecting their citizens/subjects. That's just the excuse to make the poison pill more palatable. What this…
What nonsense. It's obvious what the parent comment meant. Law abiding gun owners by definition do not kill innocent children, just like law abiding people do not use encryption nefariously. Encryption and guns are both…
Wait, you're calling his argument bullshit? You didn't even make an argument, you just said something completely nonsensical.
I'm not speaking hypothetically. I have loaned many tools, and many other possessions, to people in the past. Other people rarely treat my possessions with care, and sometimes they can't be bothered to return them…
I don't see how having a long commute somehow diminishes the benefits of having a personal vehicle. For most people, having a personal vehicle means, partly, being able to live where they want instead of having to…
Why do you assume people embrace "personal car culture" just because there's a lack of public transportation? People like having their own vehicles. It's freedom and independence. Even if I lived right on a bus line,…
There's a difference between belonging to a sort of tool club, and paying with both time and money to keep things going well, and loaning out my personal possessions. I've been thinking about joining a local makerspace…
Make a facebook group for your neighborhood if you want, I suppose. There's no way I'm loaning out my tools, equipment, or anything else I own except to people I trust very highly. I like my possessions to A) be readily…
'But there are attitudes in mental software that must be modified. "I'm in a hurry and I have to get there RIGHT NOW." "Everyone is in MY way." Individualism can be an inefficiency of the collective, and that will be a…
I don't think anyone really knows. The vehicles haven't been around long enough to understand what long term maintenance looks like regarding any aspect of the vehicle. People throw numbers around regarding cost for…
You are aware, I hope, that extinction wasn't invented by humanity?
Being poor is expensive, indeed. Most people don't realize that until they experience it. If they ever do. If you never have much surplus money, you can rarely if ever do the things that save money in the long term. You…
We should do nothing, because while interesting, this is a nonevent. Parts of that article are wildly exaggerated or outright incorrect, trying to make this sound like some big deal. It's really not. Sometimes in…
Not all of that core is replaceable, because the locations the cores came from have since melted.
Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm grinding through stuff I know exactly how to do, but can't automate away, I find having something like people talking or an audiobook I know well running in the background actually…
Some kind of screen sharing app with Krita = virtual whiteboard. You have a lot more room than a real whiteboard offers, since Krita has a "pseudo-infinite" canvas, so you don't need to erase things. And you can save…
