Well, if they were reaching through the internet and grabbing kids, seems that it wouldn't be hard to get a warrant and search the wires. The truth is that very few kids just go missing, though when one does the media sure goes on about it. They're still talking about Micheal Dunahee here after what, 30 odd years? Usually when a kid goes missing it's one of their parents doing the kidnapping and whenever sexual exploitation of kids comes up, it is usually the neighbourhood priest, scout master or some other pillar of the community or their family, though we did have a big problem with kids getting kidnapped by the government and turned over to their religious friends to molest and torture in the residential school thing.
True, evolution is complex when it comes to the groups survival with humans being one example where sibling survival seems to be one of the driving forces behind our evolution.
The output of the Sun has been observed for quite a while, including using satellites over the last 50 years and there hasn't been a big change in the output that would have the affects we're seeing. If you have evidence of a large change in the output, please post a link. It's true that the models of solar induced warming aren't the best, with some saying a degree every 10 million years and some say less, but the basics are pretty simple. The Sun gets hotter as it converts hydrogen into helium and since a helium, atom is 4 times heavier then a hydrogen atom, the Sun gets denser and fusion speeds up and over billions of years there's quite an affect. Not over centuries.
America is all about taxation without representation and was setup that way. Think of how many people pay taxes and don't have the vote. Whole large cities such as Washington DC. Whole classes of people who are labeled felons, who often did something politically incorrect such as smoking a joint. All the non-citizens who live and work in the US, whether legally or illegally. Everyone under a certain age, you're 17 and working and paying taxes, you don't get the vote.
There's no legitimate reason that corporations can make campaign contributions.
If you stop corporations from making contributions you would also need to stop unions. But that's never going to happen, because if the unions know that if they don't own their lawmakers the unions would cease to exist.
Here in Canada, both corporate and union donations have been stopped, as well as real people (actually only citizens and permanent residents) being limited to just over $1000 donations. We still have both unions and corporations.
Just bought a bag of squirrel prove dinosaur food. It is infused with cayenne that, while not actually poisonous to squirrels, sure discourages them from eating it. The dinosaurs in my yard are lacking in a sense (taste?) that gets triggered by cayenne and happily eat it. If cayenne was a deadly poison, mammals would avoid it and the dinosaurs would die.
Thanks for finding this as I was wondering what the actual laws are in California. Here (BC), if a pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk, traffic has to stop, even if they're 4 lanes over. (Hardly anyone actually follows this rule). It's another problem in that N. America has about 65 slightly differing traffic laws that the self driving cars (and currently drivers) will have to know.
I'm pretty sure that my Provinces rules include walking facing traffic when there is no sidewalk or shoulder. Unluckily there are close to 65 sets of rules in N. America, not including Mexico and points south
And the person who kills the cyclist? Even if it is one hundred percent the cyclists fault, most people are going to suffer some post traumatic stress, especially if they kill the cyclist in a bloody way and have to deal with the person as in trying to give first aid or such. Shit, I just about killed one the other day, going down a hill on a busy road, the idiot was passing traffic on the right at red lights. I just about turned into him (actually I guess he would have hit me as I turned depending on timing) as I wasn't expecting an idiot to try to pass me in that foot of road between me and the curb at a red light (legal here to turn right on red). I would have not felt good if he'd died even if it was his fault, plus it would be a big hassle. Cops usually start out assuming the driver was at fault. It's easy to invoke Darwin when an idiot gets killed but often there is more then the idiot involved.
There's also the question of what the actual law is. Here, the law is that traffic has to stay stopped as long as a pedestrian is in a crosswalk. Lots of people start moving once the pedestrian is out of their lane, which is strictly illegal here, perhaps the self driving car did similar? In which case the dash cam will show the car being in the wrong.
It's not just splitting hairs, but rather avoiding the scenario where you need a collage degree to serve coffee at Starbucks. Even without tuition, going to university can be expensive, especially if you have to go any distance, and ideally a university education should only be required in cases where it is actually a requirement.
Are 'ITT tech style "schools"' actually a problem where you are? Here (BC) the vocational/technology schools all seem to be run by the government. Though I do admit I haven't looked into it.
Australia only began getting the criminals when America and England had a falling out and England could no longer send their prisoners to the penal colonies in America. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The British used colonial North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Merchants would transport the convicts and auction them off (for example) to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America and the majority landed in the Chesapeake colonies of Maryland and Virginia. Transported convicts represented perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the 18th century.[1] The State of Georgia, for example, was first founded by James Edward Oglethorpe who originally intended to use prisoners taken largely from debtors' prison, creating a "Debtor's Colony," where the prisoners could learn trades and work off their debts. Even though this largely failed, the idea that the state began as a penal colony has persisted, both in popular history and local lore.[2] The British would often ship Irish, Scots, and The Welsh to the Americas whenever rebellions took place in Ireland, Wales or Scotland, but these were sent mostly to Maryland and Virginia, not Georgia.[3]
Shouldn't that be Collage for those that can pass the entrance exams and technological school for any who wants it? Lots of people like my brother where a collage education would have helped him less then the 2 years he spent learning how to be a glazier did. Plumbers, electricians, welders etc are usually in demand, especially for fixing the infrastructure, the trades pay decently and for some are a better career path then collage.
In Canada, the ISP's are pushing to be allowed to block bad sites, starting with the evil pirates. Generally when a site is blocked, so is everything else on the same server as it is simple and once blocking sites becomes common, then blocking sites for other reasons will become common. We already have examples of how blocking works with various porn filters that filter out much more then porn. Want to learn about breast cancer or how they check for prostate cancer, well breasts and anuses are sexual so we can't allow that. There's also political reasons to block sites.
This is the best comparison. Roads do not discriminate based on who owns a vehicle with the exception of emergency services and I doubt anyone would argue that 911 calls should have priority. Though perhaps that'll be the next thing, Amazon partnering with the toll roads to only allow Amazon delivery services on toll roads and if you want to buy from anyone else, well the package will arrive eventually and only cost twice as much for delivery.
https://www.freepress.net/our-... Everyone talks about fast lanes, but it is actual blocking that scares me, especially for political purposes. First it'll be for piracy and of course the blocks will be broad. But there is no reason that $POLITICAL_PARTY sites couldn't be blocked or slowed down to dial up speeds. With voter registration mostly over the internet, certain bad voting neighborhoods can be blocked from the registration site as well.
Of course most Americans don't worry about a knock on their door in the middle of the night for pissing off the wrong person. Americans are well aware of no knock warrants and how the police are never punished when they shoot you. What is probably similar to the USSR is the believe that only bad people get investigated, thrown in jail, or have a no knock warrant served by the swat team and not being a bad person makes you safe.
On the other hand, you can have a basic computer and swap in different CPU's or graphic cards or power supplies and compare the speed. I had a Netburst Pentium D at 2.8 GHz which I swapped for a 1.86 GHz C2d and almost halved compilation time, later swapped in a 2.8GHz Core extreme and knocked another 1/3rd off compile time. Everything else seemed to get about the same speedup as well. If I was a gamer, I could have done similar with graphic cards. The problem is how things are inter-related. A slow CPU can't take much advantage of a fast graphics card for example. Still generally you can swap in different components and see differences or in the case of power supplies, see no difference.
And yet the first Macs (and Lisa) were considered 32 bit. Likewise with the Amiga and Atari ST. I guess it shows bitness to be complicated and perhaps best to call it 16/32 bit.
The Motorola 68000 ("'sixty-eight-thousand'"; also called the m68k or Motorola 68k, "sixty-eight-kay") is a 16/32-bit CISC microprocessor, which implements a 32-bit instruction set, with 32-bit registers and 32-bit internal data bus, but with a 16-bit main ALU and a 16-bit external data bus,[1] designed and marketed by Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector. Introduced in 1979 with HMOS technology as the first member of the successful 32-bit m68k family of microprocessors, it is generally software forward-compatible with the rest of the line despite being limited to a 16-bit wide external bus.[2] After 38 years in production, the 68000 architecture is still in use.
So 32 bit internally with a 16 bit bus (and 24 bit address bus), much like the 80386SX.
thinking the things we've deliberately built with a targeted purpose are innately inferior is ignorance to the extreme.
No more ignorant then thinking things we've deliberately built with a targeted purpose are innately superior. GMO, including CRISPR is a tool, and like most tools, can be used for good but it is not automatic. History shows that even the best engineers can screw up using their tools, especially when there are bean counters involved. For example, a recent pedestrian bridge collapse in Florida.
Most pollen allergies are triggered by wind blown pollen, which is produced by plants such as grass rather then most flowers including dandelion pollen, which is heavier and evolved to be spread by bees.
One of the logical fallacies is your using regulated things to argue that something shouldn't be regulated. Hospital's are highly regulated with most workers needing various training and licenses as well as regulations on cleanliness and such, which have made them much safer. Cars are highly regulated, with enforced safety features, rules about operating such as seat belts and drivers are licensed, this has made cars much safer over the years as well as saving numerous life's due to cleaner emissions which have also been regulated. You seem to be saying that given the fact that people still die in hospitals and automobiles, we don't have to regulate guns, not even regulating a safety, plus we don't have to ensure that people have any training in using firearms and anyone should be free to buy them. Good example of how whataboutism works
