So we're resorting to Google Fights? If you look at the results, many are about a single accident between a truck and a turkey on route 80 in New Jersey. Filter out results including "route 80" and they're almost all about aircraft:
On page 2 you can find incidents with a pelican and an eagle that penetrated a windshield...hardly common birds to see.
So birds won't pentrate a car's windshield. Unless it's a turkey, a pelican, or an eagle, and your car has a large pane of upright glass like a semi truck.
Yeah do we really want freedom if the price is COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT!? Oh noes! Better lock ourselves in the panopticon before somebody gets to hear a shitty pop song without paying for it!
True. I'd like to think that if there were a form of unstoppable, truly private communication that terrorists could use the NSA would give up, but that's Defense Distributed-type thinking...more likely you'd just be put on the Very Naughty list and they'll hit you with every tool of surveillance and oppression in the toolbox.
New technologies can undermine all laws. Laws must be updated to address the new technologies. Surveillance is another area where the effects are obvious.
It's people like you who don't understand that the global warming means the globe warming *on average* that lead to the use of the term "climate change"...which you then see as a cop-out.
The US is one of few countries that allows border guards to search and seize your electronic devices on a whim, and where extraordinary rendition and torture are legal. It has an extremely minimal set of rights for people passing through borders. It's not just a decent country like any other where terrible mistakes sometimes happen against the rules of the system. According to its laws, in terms of entering and exiting the country it is an unusually bad shithole.
The only good thing I've heard about Mein Kampf is that the first chapter or two is really interesting, then it turns into a long slog of boring, stupid hatred - that part, it seems nobody disagrees about.
I've also heard that Hitler's writing style is a lot like Ayn Rand's, so brace yourself...
Maybe Leviticus to understand where many of the fucked-up ideas in fundamentalist Christianity come from, but that's like telling you to read Atlas Shrugged to understand objectivism...way too much to slog through for what really amounts to just a small number of fucked-up ideas that horrible people love. The excess words don't give them any more depth.
I think that would be true if the reader is unintelligent. Otherwise I think it would just increase the likelihood on the reader giving up on the second book as their persistence to keep reading through stupid drivel wears down.
Let me guess, you think that metagovernment would amount to "mob rule" and you think that would be worse than some other form of government in which a minority can overrule the will of the majority over and over again, effectively making them dictators, even if they can only be dictators for a limited time.
It's been over four decades since humans were outside the magnetosphere. That's irresponsible for any sentient race capable of even a modicum of extra-planetary space exploration.
Only if they had the capability to run a long-term self-sustaining off-world colony...which we don't. Having a few people in a tin can who can only deplete their supplies and then wait for death wouldn't be helpful if Chicxulub 2 happens.
They are us. Some really bad people are slightly inconvenienced as a side-effect, but are by no means stopped (See: Tsarnaev brothers, zero evidence of attacks stopped by the NSA).
I agree that he's an idiot, but maybe he's better off confessing guilt and going to court as a rich man than trying to maintain his innocence while poor? With access to those funds he can get an all-star team of lawyers and, worst case scenario, maybe a cell in one of those cushy white-collar jails.
Confidence in the USD is falling. The only truly substantive difference between USD and Bitcoin for the user is the confidence level.
Not accountability? I'd prefer the currency that is vastly less useful for tax evasion and money laundering, even if it's not quite as convenient for some things that governments don't like for stupid reasons. Not being able to order pot online is a small price to pay for keeping the Crime Finance Singularity from happening IMO.
Not even the deflationary nature of Bitcoin that libertarians fawn over? That seems like a pretty big difference. I'd prefer the currency that doesn't encourage hoarding and speculation of the currency itself.

A bird won't penetrate a windshield, no driver intervention would be needed:

BTW that is a runway and the car was going 180mph at impact. Here's the view through the camera the passenger's holding:

The real tin-foil-hatters would say the US has injected a CG images into the stream to make him say different things. :-P
Hey, they have all the technology needed to do it, it's just a matter of whether they want to.

At first I was like "This could be my next router upgrade!"
Then I was like...
Global warming doesn't mean it will get any warmer where you are...it could get colder instead.

It had some funny bits, surprisingly good production value, but insufficient joke density.
Ooooooh -1 Uncomfortable Truth!

Now I have a reason not to give them my business, I didn't before.
Let them retrain and move...oh and eat cake too, why not?
I think you were modded Funny due to the image of a bunch of Silly Valley geeks wading ankle-deep in a stew of sewage and garbage XD
An unintentional Code Geass reference would have knocked me out of my chair!
