Unlikely. Most probably people are more and more depressed over the random nature the world and all the crap that can happen to them. Since astrology provides a nice safe structure to explain shit, it must be very comforting to believe in something...anything! Probably explains why people are still religious.
What I'm not sure of, is which theory exactly predicts that the universe should have a lot more matter? I know that one does, I'm just not sure if it's GR that makes the prediction. Any links containing more info as to which theory makes these predictions?
To the best of my knowledge, WIMPS are postulated to exist due to some prediction of the current model of particle physics. I doubt if GR predicts WIMPS. Of course, I could be wrong and would welcome any corrections.
Lol. Internet hero giving his completely random opinion on relativity. How about some peer reviewed documentation? Even some simple equations would do. Please...point out the exact step in the equations that you think is wrong. Then we'll talk.
Am I the only one terrified that if something happens to my one "dedicated device", I'm screwed? The reason I keep my encrypted passwords in the cloud is that the service provides have redundancy. I'm seriously fucked if I lose access to my data store. How could anyone possibly sleep in peace knowing that their entire lives revolve around the safekeeping of one fallible hardware device??
And yet some people I've spoken to would rather trust AT&T than a company like Google when it comes to their choice of Internet Service Provider. I'm always amused by these guys.
"Google is evil! How can you even think of taking Internet service from them? AT&T? Oh sure! Sign me up!"
Apparently they believe that just because Google is an ad company they'll sell your personal information for cash. Well, no they won't because that's not how it works and they'd be pretty stupid to do that since their entire business model is based on trust. And second...well apparently AT&T is straight up selling data for money. Surprise surprise!
Good for you. I happily and willingly give my private information to Google and benefit from their free services. I win. They win. Everyone wins. What's not to like about this?
Yes. You are being rude by pretending to listen to the person about football. If you're not interested, break it off and go elsewhere. If you can't easily break it off, then checking your messages from your boss is just a cop out.
It's ridiculous that you need researchers to tell you that spreading disease became more easy with rail technology or with long distance shipping. I mean, what have they revealed that we didn't already know?
That...was a deliberate joke on Google's part. The tip off is that in the driving directions list it told you to "swim across the pacific to xyz country"!
You're only detailing an end case scenario. You haven't shown me how shadow banking has actually let to a specific child dying from a preventable disease.
But to my understanding, "shadow banking" means completely off the books. Meaning it's a "trust" system. "White" cash couldn't be used to satisfy any liabilities acquired from shadow banking, so the bank's cash reserves are safe. Or maybe my understanding of "shadow banking" is wrong?
It's almost as if there are two separate banks and the two can never meet. Or like I said, maybe I haven't grasped the real meaning of shadow banking.
I challenge you to "induce me to violence". Go ahead. I give you the freedom to say whatever you want and I can guarantee you that no mere words and pixels on a screen are going to drive me to hit you or anyone else.
The concept of "rights" is not to benefit society. It's to benefit individuals. So the idea of "diminishing returns" is absurd. If people don't have the control to keep their hands in their pockets, it's jail time and bye bye. The first person to throw a punch gets punished. This whole "induce to violence" is bullshit.
Well, one can only control one's own actions. Websites can choose to use non google hosted jquery scripts which is very possible. Either way, it's a net of personal choices. All that can be said is that Google did a good job of convincing others to use its resources. But it didn't force them to. With the government...all choice and personal freedom is removed.
Besides, selling books below cost to build a market for the Kindle is no different from Google giving Gmail services for free in order to build up a related ads business.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. It's interesting and that's all that matters!

Yes, I would feel better because you have a choice not to use Facebook.
How did net neutrality get dragged into this?

I think robotically constructed slums are an awesome idea! Should be much better than human constructed ones...

Yet your hypothetical golem merely made an assertion without showing a single causative chain of events.
For example "Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With" - how?
"In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many." - give one example of these "small ways"
I don't mind how small the examples are. I just want one concrete causative chain of events.
In a way, even I'm indifferent to starving children. But that doesn't make me responsible for their deaths.

I'm waiting for your "inducements to violence".
The concept of "rights" is not to benefit society. It's to benefit individuals. So the idea of "diminishing returns" is absurd. If people don't have the control to keep their hands in their pockets, it's jail time and bye bye. The first person to throw a punch gets punished. This whole "induce to violence" is bullshit.
And is anyone actually being harmed by this "shadow banking"? If so, I'd be interested in a concrete example.

At least you have a choice to not use Google's products. I would much rather Google had access to my data than the government.
5 words is now defined as a rant. Nice one.

Ebooks have a marginal cost?
