You're right about everything but the word "socialist". Replace it with the word "authoritarian". The US is by far the least socialist western nation, but it is getting more authoritarian by the day.
If you throw enough heavy stars past a black hole you can accelerate its rotation. If it rotates fast enough it should flatten into a disk. If you keep doing this you'll force the black hole into a torus, no? At which point you'll be able to deduce the size of the matter inside it.
Ordinarily I would dismiss this as a deliberate distraction from stuff China can actually do. But I recall numerous examples from the Cold War between the US and Russia where the US poo-poo'd Russian abilities, but after the cold war ended it turned out Russian abilities really were superior. I'm not inclined to dismiss this out-of-hand no matter how science fictiony it sounds.
That phrasing is kind of weasily, isn't it?
Botflies, hundreds of species of worms from eyebrow to foot, flukes, toxoplasma, vampire bats... from the very small to the very large this world is filled with creatures that like to eat people. If someone believes they're infested they need to be taken seriously and given a battery of tests. To do otherwise is foolish in a non-doctor and could well be malpractice for a real doctor. This article does no one good.
It's a solved problem The only problem with it is the solution is a tiny bit more expensive than people want, and it stinks. This isn't a plastic problem, this is a choice people don't want to make.
Diversity was an important backdrop. It wasn't ever pushed in the viewer's face. There was a black woman on the bridge, and very little was said about that. I'm okay with that kind of diversity. The modern kind of "diversity" is fake. It's diverse like a wax apple is a fruit. Diversity of opinion is forbidden and a whole race and sex are strongly depreciated. It's sexism and racism by a different name. By all means have a diverse cast. If it's a good show I'll watch it. But make every third person a fat black lesbian otherkin and you're not only not diverse, you're clearly throwing the whole show under the bus.
I used to read books while walking down the street. (on sidewalks) My attention and peripheral vision was more than sufficient that I never stepped over a curb or walked in front of traffic, but I still had people shout at me out of cars. Because I never jaywalked I know the real problem they had wasn't that I was unsafe but that I seemed unsafe. I think a lot of people are that way with people on cell phones. He's on a cell phone, is he going to walk in front of me? And they project their anxiety onto the other party where it does not belong. I'm responsible for my behavior. If I actually behave unsafely that's on me. Otherwise stop trying to regulate me.
Bullshit. He probably applied and was turned down at that very place. Many companies say they're hiring just so they can get a thicker folder of applicants and thereby treat exiting employees worse.
Not quite. It takes a known and finite amount of computronium to use CAD to emulate the electro-chemical processes in the human brain. When the structure of the human brain is known -- even if it's not understood -- a computer with that amount of power will be able to emulate human intelligence. That's the high end. There are much more efficient methods, but at that point a computer will definitively have the intelligence of a human.
Companies are so desperate they're actually training workers? Travesty! No company should have to train its workers! The plebs need to work their asses off for free just for the CHANCE at a job.
Why should I care whether someone had to pay 50 cents per head or whether they got the information with a trivial hack? The real problem is cellphone companies selling out their customers and a severe lack of apps not made by weasels.
Privacy now.
I see this all over the place and it is royally fucked up. If I say "John stole my car" that does not make me a victim of theft. It makes me an accuser. and it does not make John a thief, it makes him an alleged thief.
Imagine I demand that white people accusing black people of crimes should be "just believed" and call any white accuser a victim. Would that not be vile and racist? So how is "listen and believe" not vile and sexist? Those accusing people of sexual crimes (male or female, because there are female perpetrators and female false accusers in the world) are not victims until the crime is proven.
I've been talking about this for decades. The problem has always been that people who are about the humanity of execution are campaigning against it, but if we're doing it we need to at least use the least painful methods available. Those are neutral gas or a high caliber, high speed bullet through the cranium.

I think you'll find similar results among drivers of luxury cars.
Wall Street Journal you say? And the venerable New York Times? I'm sure you're fine then.

and it gave me a result of 0. Surely on a log scale the Wow signal is at least worth taking a look at. I think it needs more tweaking.

The moon belongs to whomever has the will and military power to defend it.
Wait a minute, I thought the purpose of porn filters was to provide a bit of the hacking ethos and a little information security experience.

I lost my suspension of disbelief at "trusted sources like Wikipedia"
the Senate will have to write a huge list of exceptions before swearing him in and wipe their dirty assholes on the US Constitution.
...sounds like a Tuesday on Capital Hill.
A lie by weaseling is still a lie.
That was a damned good read.

So if I have anxiety, and I assume someone is about to hit me so I dive into the ditch is that their fault?

My fondest hope for my beloved children is not that they grow up safe, but that they grow up free.
Just stop.
