Also, while it technically means any warehouse, the word apotheca is commonly associated with pharmaceuticals: see apothecary. I have also encountered it in relation to wine storage, presumably because wines and spirits were traditionally considered medicine.
Good point. I would also guess that metallic pinhole glasses would be relatively safe, as the hard barrier blocks all frequencies equally. (As others have pointed out, the main issue with cheap glasses is filtering visible light while letting IR/UV through.)
from a utilitarian point of view according to standard economic theory transferring money from the very rich to the poor always increases overall utility in a society
False. It has a direct effect, in that the same amount of money provides greater utility to the poor than to the rich; but it also has an indirect effect, that it reduces the incentive for people to work in order to become rich. Less work gets done, less stuff gets produced, and less utility is provided.
Good point. I'm generally wary of any scheme of simply taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor. For starters, people sometimes compare the total wealth of rich people to annual income levels of regular folk. So if you just take all the money and spread it around at once, what do you do next year when there are no rich people left?
In practice, there would probably be a simple solution: people will spend their extra money on products made by somebody, so some people would be rich again, and the cycle could go on forever. It seems a bit silly, but it's kind of what we do here in the Nordic countries with our gargantuan tax levels and social programs.
As the GP says, some skill is required to manage your wealth. This often involves investments that provide jobs for other people. For a silly example, should you sell your factory equipment to better feed your workers? I'm sure a lot of people are grateful for having jobs provided by some capitalist pig -- not everyone has the knack for entrepreneurship, or being otherwise self-employed.
Stealing my ideas and claiming them as your own is also an affront to my humanity.
That would be plagiarism, which is very different from unauthorized copying. As an artist, I want to be seen and heard as widely as possible, while being recognized as the author of my works. This means I don't care too much for copyright protections, except the part about authorship.
I wonder if Ethereum will fork to revert the stolen Ether. If so, it ruins any glimmer of hope it had at becoming a legitimate decentralized currency.
Ethereum has already forked due to similar circumstances in the past. Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original unforked chain that continues to live on under a different management.
The same people who watch gay porn, i.e. men who like to see other men work out all over each other. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if I were forced to watch some sports, it would be something like female gymnastics.
Something similar has happened with "algorithm", as it seems to appear whenever Facebook, Google etc. are doing something sinister with your data. I guess elementary school was being super evil when I was taught long division.
he really thinks he is like a god or something?get over yourself, bill gates is way more brillant, riche and generous than you'll ever be and he doesn't do shit like that
I agree, though I also think BG is an ass-clown (if thou pardonst mon French).
I despise Calibri. About half the emails I receive at work use it, and it's absolutely horrible for reading. Even comic sans would be better.
Maybe it looks alright when printed out, but who prints anymore?
You lost me at emails using fonts. For some weird reason, all of the emails I receive use the same X terminal font.
I agree about printing, though, which is why we should stop aping ink-on-paper look on computers. This includes black text on white background, a choice once dictated by print technology, not so much reading ergonomics.
It could also be that you're doing your week wrong, and you have no energy left to do anything sensible in your spare time. Are you working to live, or living to work?

Flash should be kept alive for the same reason we have museums of Nazism -- to remember history and learn from it.

Electric cars produce heaps of particulates. They still drive on tyres...
As opposed to gasoline and diesel cars that magically hover over the road?
It's a big country, don't they have nice beaches ?
They do now, since 2014.

I still have yet to see any Type C connectors in person, so using "existing cables" isn't much of a selling point, personally.
This. There's nothing universal about USB the way it is evolving. http://iki.fi/teknohog/rants/u...
I'm trying to make it a pull system in the sense of British nightlife.

Gentoomen will get the joke. BTW, systemd is not used by default in Gentoo.

But if you do that, won't it show up as "hunter2"?
This is why I never connect to a projector with the screen duplicated - always extended.
Slightly OT, but there are other good reasons not to clone the display:

I am hoping they succeed by skipping straight to the EOL of AOL.
FTFY.

The /. effect affects my reading experience so as to effect a negative affect on my mind.
If you know what I mean by "ride".

"Culture" is often used to justify a practice that makes no sense otherwise, such as "circumcision culture".
"We get a lot of men in suits who just want to relax and women wanting to take their heels off. Lunch break is the busiest time."
Know what I mean?
