Throughout all of history the one aim of any young woman was to snag a good husband who would keep a roof over her head and food in the larder for her to transfer to table.
Actually, that is a quite recent development. It started with the german tribes who only knew male inheritance. After the dissolving of the West Roman Empire around 500 BC, and the founding of german kingdoms throughout the former Roman provinces, german inheritance law took over, and women successively lost access to their personal wealth, as it was administered first by their fathers, then their brothers and finally by their husbands.
But he had hedged the bet against a 4:1, not 1:1. Thus he was 75% confident in his bet. Instead of 2000 pound, he got 1333 pound, as he lost 667 pound in his hedging bet.
So according to you, physics is biased towards global govermental control. Some big cabale goes on in the background and manipulates the laws of physics to allow for a global catastrophic scenario, which in turn gives governments the power to reign in.
The difference between predicting weather and predicting climate is about the same than predicting the results of the next NBA round, and predicting which team will make it to the play-offs.
The elimination of the voter being able to prove how they voted through official documentation removes the voter's ability to perform an audit of their own vote's tabulation. Voters uncovering elections fraud outweighs the very small (non-existent? - provide a link to cases of these claims, ever? Appeal to probability much?) vote-buying instances.
In all sane voting systems I have been so far, this is easily countered by public counting. If you want to be sure that your vote is tabulated correctly, watch the count, which is performed in public.
That's why any vote is invalid, which is marked in a way that could identify the voter.
Yes, it is known that you went to the voting place, but it is not possible to connect an individual vote with you. Someone willing to buy a vote would have to buy the whole voting precinct and hand out the bribe according to the final result to everyone, even to those who did vote otherwise, because he can't make a difference between the individual voters (or punish the whole voting precinct after the vote goes not according to his wishes), which considerably rises the bar for vote rigging.
Dark matter is the matter within a galaxy that is not visible/detectable, and still has to be there to explain the speed of outer regions of the galaxy when circling the center. The detection of a dimly lighted galaxy outside of known galaxies doesn't change that, as it won't change the rotation characteristic we observe at wellknown galaxies. It might change some calculation about the structure of super clusters of galaxies though.
Building it as a real RAID5 operating storage would be somewhat underperforming indeed. Take RAID5 as a metaphor of that information striping into independent storages works. A real RAID5 would also be somewhat clunky when it comes to plausible deniability, as the information chunks are quite large, and thus a legislation could request all stripes that are on the local hard drive, which would give them 1/nth of the information in a readable form, often enough to contain a lot of interesting material.
If you want to share the information in a way that no chunk contains legible details, you would have to stripe bitwise. Imagine the information A being encoded with an One-Time-Pad, and the One-Time-Pad stored in one site and the OTP(A) in another site, then only possession of both will yield anything. To stripe even more, you could use an OTP on both, and then you had four stripes, being OTP2(OTP1(A)), OTP2, OTP3(OTP1) and OTP3. Now only the knowledge of all four will give you any clue about A. If each information is stored under the umbrella of another legislation, you have plausible deniability until all four legislations agree to the information being released.
The Location of data has what to do with its movement around the world?
It always exists in at least one place.
Even that is not a given. Think about a RAID5 spread over several legislations, where each hard drive is in another country. No legislation has control over a complete set of the information in the RAID5, and only if one reads a sector of it, its parts get requested in the different locations and combined to the real data. And only if all but one legislations agree, you are able to get the complete information, as the data from n-1 stripes can reconstruct the original.
Actually no, as I never mentioned my own age. (In 20 years time, my children will probably complain about their own kids, how whiney, lazy and overconfident they are and not able do do hard work. And I'll tell them to get off my lawn.)
You are just repeating the oldest of all memes about the next generation. To the older generation, the next generation is always lazy, overconfident, whiney and doesn't know how to work. So your "evidence" is worth exactly nil, as the generation before you made the same experience with you and thought you would be lazy, overconfident, whiney and you didn't know how to work. And you just proved them right by being whiney about the next generation, overconfident in believing to be better than them and too lazy to do the hard work to really get them into the daily process of working.
What we have, despite you feeling entitled and being the special snowflake and superior to everyone coming after you (typical for people of the current generation), is for the first time, the next generation (which will also think that the generation after her will be lazy, whiney, overconfident and not knowing what hard work is) will be earning less than you.
This would be easily handled with "conflict of issue" or "bribery" laws.
I doubt the "easily" part. Because a lawmaker during his turn deals with so many different laws, there will always be a law that he had to vote on that affects a future employer. Basically a lawmaker ending his turn would be unemployable later. And even if he goes independent, someone has to buy his services for him to stay afloat, and there will always be a law he voted on, that affects the future contractor of his business.
So why should anyone ever be running for a political office, if it means the end of his professional career forever? All you get then are politicians who never want to let go from their political office because it's the sole source of income they will ever have from now.
Identical twins aren't that identical. Face recognition software can tell them apart. And people who are at least acquainted to a pair of identical twins can tell them apart too.
NAT requires packet inspection. Thus every NATting device is a packet inspection engine, and having some configurable rules which packets to translate and which packets to discard gives you a stateful firewall. That's the main reason why NATting is done on the same device that does firewalling.
Security guards have to be organised, have to be deployed, have to have people in the background they can phone to, have to have an uniform etc.pp.. There is much overhead to be paid until a security guard starts patroulling around.
That's exactly what Tesla's Autopilot does. It gives you a warning sign and wants you to exercise a force of at least 0,29 Newton on the steering wheel from time to time (basicly you have to wiggle the steering a little). That guy in question seems to have wiggled the steering wheel, while still not watching the road but a movie on the DVD player in his car.
Hell, even just getting admitted into a top tier university is hard because foreign students have priority (affirmitive action).
Affirmative action has nothing to do with admitting foreign students. Affirmative action means that given two equally qualified candidates, you pick the one with more general disadvantages. The quotes for foreign students at specified university courses are completely independent from affirmative action, Those quotes were negotiated for in student exchange programs and similar contracts.
I started programming, when there was no lure of six figure salaries, and I spoiled my university stint with programming for fun instead of doing university work. And then I randomly stumbled in a job where I was programming all day (for a nice salary), and I gave it up after two years. Somehow having it to do for money took the fun out of programming. Free market solutions only go so far.
There is nothing wrong in general with New Math, as both Set theory and Function theory are fundamental for today's Mathematics, Physics and for Computer Science. Counting and Arithmetics might be nice to know, but they aren't everything in Mathematics.
The term "dinosaur" was coined in 1842 by Richard Owen and indeed means "terrible lizard". If we include all the species Richard Owen described as dinosaurs, and include their last common ancestor and all the offspring of the last common ancestor, we get exactly the modern meaning of "dinosaur", including the birds, and excluding crocodiles, pterodactyls, mosasaurs and the Komodo dragon.

In Europe, rail-bound busses are very common, they are actually called railbusses.

No you don't read this right. They just betted 2015 would would not be more than 0.1 degrees Celsius hotter than 2008.
But the rich conservative lost.
But even 2011 (a strong La Nina, thus the contrary of an El Nino) was hotter than 2008.
