  1. The issue is why the hell would you? The validation is just a set of bureaucratic nonsense for no gain. You can overdose on Tylenol but you can still buy it without a call from a doctor.

  2. If that's your concern you should probably ban coca-cola. I'm sure it's a bigger health concern than people buying the wrong prescription contact lenses.

    Okay, so it's paraphrased. Point stands.

  5. Do you think during the industrial revolution people foresaw that there would be a huge industry programming the machines to do largely pointless things? If I could predict the future of the economy with that clarity I wouldn't be telling you. I'd be becoming a billionaire.

    I'm the good guy here and everyone that disagrees with me needs to be silenced. - every authoritarian tyrant.

    I often feel pretty insulted by the inane stupidity of many TV ads. I'm definitely not going to pay for something that insults me.

  9. Every time you assume someone is racist/__ist for disagreeing with something you say I want you to remember this statement.

  10. Yes, it's everyone else that is misled.

    The transmission is to put the ICE power to the wheels. Don't need much of a transmission to power a generator.

    Gasoline is massively more energy dense per weight than a battery. A pure electric may be mechanically much simpler than a hybrid but there are definitely things more inefficient than a hybrid.

    But you are an asshole..

  15. Does the owner of a coffee shop have to actively monitor all conversations between patrons and interfere with anything deemed "problematic"?

  16. Depends on the relationship. If it was a linear or geometric relation then yes you would see that. But those aren't the only ways for things to relate.

  17. To boot, there isn't anything you can do with gold and silver, except admire the shininess.

    Perhaps you should look up the properties of gold; it is extremely useful and fairly unique. Look here

    You shouldn't be able to tell if two encrypted strings are the same unless they are encrypted with the same key. And they should not be for that reason among many others.

    You appear to be talking about hashing which is not what a password manager does.

    There is no social aspect

    I have an account with a karma ranking that affects how others see my posts. I can set other users to friend or enemy and affect how I see their posts.

    You can't use a social media platform without creating an account.

    You can go read Twitter all you want without an account. I guess it's not a social media platform?

    You might be able to argue Slashdot to be some kind of proto social media network but you cannot outright deny it has social features.

    I think maybe it just looks worse the older the dev gets. "If you haven't learned by now you never will" type of deal.

  24. If your barrier to entry in understanding the Higgs boson is that you don't know the units used to describe it then maybe you're not actually trying to learn anything. How do you want it explained? "Magic weight light"?

    Moreover the point of Wikipedia is that it is a wiki. The unit in the text is a link to an article describing it further exemplifying that you're not trying to learn.

  25. That's misleading - you are indeed more likely to be beaten in Europe, but homicides are higher in the US. If death is your fear, than the US is "more dangerous". If a beating is your fear, then Europe is "more dangerous".

    If the homicide rate is skewed by gangs then it absolutely would affect which place is "more dangerous" to a normal person as a normal person does not partake in gang violence. Random violence against innocents is the rate that one has to worry about in respect to their own well being. Which was the entire point and you know it. None of that other nonsense you just spouted that had nothing to do with anything.
