It seems to me that voting by mail could be made fairly safe if the voter has an opportunity to cancel their ballot after mailing by choosing to cast a replacement vote in person later (so they could perform the coerced vote, but still fix it later secretly -- the the vote buyer couldn't be sure that wouldn't happen). But I don't think that's currently an option anywhere, because there's no system for efficiently locating and removing the previously-mailed ballots.
Check out how things have actually gotten better for the 20% of the human race who lives under that repressive regime, thanks to americans buying their stuff. Would you rather they starve, or repeat the cultural revolution? Torture 20% of humanity in order to make a political point?
Also, pretty sure the "more likely to be killed with your own gun" myth has been debunked, or at least, proven inaccurate.
Considering the suicide rate is about twice the homicide rate, isn't it pretty much a given that you're more likely to shoot yourself than shoot anyone else?
SpaceX wasn't really created with a profit motive. The long term goal came first, and making it profitable was a strategy to achieve the goal. If it were simply about profit, it'd go public and cash in.
As for why NASA couldn't do it, that's because NASA doesn't have control to set its own goals and strategies and is milked for local benefit by congress people who don't care what NASA wants to do.
It doesn't need an exploit to be bad. The basic concept of allowing websites to use your resources while you're not actually viewing the website is troublesome. Seems sure to result in memory leaks and degraded performance which will be very hard for most people to track down the source of.
A protest in which 1 or more people rioted. It's very unlikely that 200+ people were involved in the breaking windows and damaging vehicles. The feds will not find evidence to convict 200+ people of rioting, but perhaps they'll find something else on the phones to charge a few with, and at the least they'll make life hell for a year or two for everyone until the legal system plays out.
Out of curiosity, I googled it and found this: https://www.ebri.org/pdf/notes... . Apparently the job tenure for men decreased, but job tenure for women increased by more (presumably due to fewer women quitting to become homemakers). It's clear from the data that lifetime jobs were not the norm for anyone 30 years ago, though. In 1983 men averaged 5.9 years and in 2013 they averaged 5.5 years, only a few months difference.
It's difficult to find an American who isn't on some sort of pill (google says 70% of Americans are on at least one prescription drug), and those pills have far worse withdrawal effects.
Or the superproductive AI economy could leave all the humans on permanent vacation in luxury doing whatever we want. We could be the cats of the future.
Personally I'm irritated at how many of the crappy TV news channel websites have switched to HTML5. Blocking flash is easy, blocking their autoplaying HTML 5 videos reliably is hard. I just have to turn off javascript entirely, which isn't good because sometimes there's a slideshow I'd like to use.
However one of those 3 individuals (Green) has sided with Mikkelson. Which means Mikkelson's side has 66% of the company, and thus control.
56.66%, actually -- the Proper Media shares are not equally split. But the real question is whether Green was allowed under his contract for Proper Media to switch sides. And how the whole tax evasion deal for Proper Media to pretend not to be a company shakes out.
The problem with drilling is the heat melts whatever you drill with. The moon also has a molten interior, but the moon's internals are much cooler than the Earth's so you could probably get significantly deeper.
If it restricts the copyright-holder's rights, it's not a license -- it's a contract. I suppose the author could sign and notarize a contract with a specific client, but I can't imagine that ever happening without significant payment.
Obviously actual CEO blood in the streets would be bad. Unemployed CEOs due to their employees demanding their corporation hire someone less focused on self-enrichment, however, would be good.
You can't deduct things from your profit. You deduct expenses from revenue to get the profit you're taxed on. Taxing a company's revenue makes zero sense unless you want to randomly bankrupt all low-margin businesses.
But in Norway, doesn't the tax system give everyone about the same net income, no matter how much they may gross?
Nope. Some other European countries have high tax brackets for big earners, but Norway's top tax bracket is only 39%, which is lower than the USA: https://taxfoundation.org/how-...
You don't use Linux because you can't make decisions for yourself based on your personal preferences? Yeah, that about sums it up for most people -- choice is bad. Don't give a user a choice between LTS and short-lived releases, because they'll blunder into the choice they don't want.
And if you build a tall structure on your private property, airplanes have to fly around it
Yeah right. You have a 0% chance of getting clearance to build a skyscraper in a residential neighborhood -- it takes years of navigating bureaucracies and fighting NIMBYs to get permission for a skyscraper in a downtown business district, and that often fails too.

Copyright law clearly makes that illegal. This case is a little different in that it seems to be about the kind of data that can't be copyrighted.

Maybe by 3025, but I wouldn't count on it.

Abused groups naturally have high rates of mental illness. That includes soldiers, who have high rates of PTSD.
From your sexist point of view, shouldn't the army be actively encouraging all women soldiers to become transmen to strengthen themselves?

A hefty percentage of the population knows somebody in the 0.3-0.6% and may no longer wish to serve a military which casts out their friends/family.

If wage transparency is bad for everybody, why does Norway have the world's 5th highest salaries?
I can see the value to keeping one fallback kernel. I can't see the value to keeping a half dozen of them.
