Because potency in the sense you are meaning does not scale with damage. They are different classes of drugs, so the side effects are not going to line up.
Regarding MDMA specifically, there is a long history of adulterants, and long term, consistent usage is going to tend to increase the chances and levels of exposure to said adulterants.
An exclusive franchise agreement is a monopoly, and I believe those agreements were exclusive when they were legal. But that's a moot point, as our model has cable companies owning the infrastructure, and infrastructure is naturally a monopoly.
This is an interesting case, because presumably, Burger King can manipulate the supply. Also, if the currency is tied to the menu prices, then you've basically got a food backed currency.
I'm not saying everyone in Africa has the same skin tone. My point was that if you think (like GP did) that Obama is "100% black," you probably aren't familiar with how dark-skinned many native Africans are.
Nope, you just don't know what "actual" black people look like. Most black people in America are not of fully African heritage, which is why you have different skin tones. Go to Africa, and Wesley Snipes looks pale.
From a technical standpoint, Amazon isn't particularly exceptional as a website, or at least it wasn't until it had enough volume that major innovations were needed to handle the load.
Being a large presence on the internet often consists of creating the first "good enough" site for a particular niche.
Perhaps because we already heard a similar story to how a poorly configured captcha was the cause of the downfall.
Also, because it has long been suspected that there are exploitable vulnerabilities in TOR, which US intel would not like disclosed. We also know that parallel construction is a common practice, and this would be a case where that would be likely to happen.
What there is evidence of is that law enforcement and informants created a threat, and a means of addressing that threat, which DPR utilized. So, he order a fake murder for a fake threat under extreme duress created by law enforcement.
From a utilitarian perspective, had all of the above been real, it would have still been the ethical choice. Compared to the meatspace black market, the lives that he paid to end are rounding errors. The threats were effectively holding the safety and freedom of many others hostage.
Yes, I realize saying that makes me sound like a cold, calculating bastard. Law enforcement, particular vice, is not about warm and fuzzies either, and often fails to take into consideration the total harm (since, if they did, they'd quickly find the best option is to do nothing, which is bad for their long term employment).
Few things are more expensive than stupidity, and these one-sided 'arbitration clauses' enable a lot more stupidity. Also, keep in mind that arbitration can still happen without an arbitration clause, which is typically preferable for all parties involved.
Biggest advantage would be that you can pay your taxes, and likely most bills, with such a currency. Granted, that isn't inherently something that can't be done with other cryptocurrencies, but the difference is real, in practice.
Your questions are non-sequiturs. Would I feel reasonable calling those marching around those carrying communist symbols "communists?" Yes. That said, the protesters were more diverse, as people form many walks of life, including Republicans, are anti-Nazi. You can argue that there were shitty people in the protest groups, but this was a rally about white supremacy from a bunch of spoiled dipshits that aren't pure anything. But none of that has anything to do with your questions.
I didn't say that it was the formula, I said that the formula would be more like what I proposed. Yes, eventually, there does have to be some choice, but if the car is 1/10 as likely to be in a crash, and the automatic driving can cut the fatality rate in the remaining crashes by 1/10, then a slightly better formula for crash force minimization will easily outweigh the effects of all the ethical programming in the world.
Yes, it makes for a great philosophical debate. But it's obsessing over what is, from the perspective of an engineer minimizing injuries and fatalities, a rounding error.
You are making some deeply faulty assumptions about the kind of logic in place here. You want to judge cars based on their handling of a simple trolley problem. But far more important is the ability of multiple vehicles to coordinate and minimize total risk. Cooperation is going to to do far more to minimize crashes, injuries, and death.
Plus, there's balancing the kind of injuries incurred. Thus, the logic or prioritizing would be more like:
No injury > vehicle damage > them minor injury > us minor injury > them major injury > us major injury > them fatal injury > us fatal injury.
No, I'm a free speech absolutist, but I can support someone's right to free speech without supporting them or their particular marches. Many people at the rally crossed multiple state lines, so they probably weren't coming to just to support the free speech of Nazis, unless they were working for the ACLU.
Allies of Russia aren't really using the term. It's enemies of the corporate "left," because the corporate left are the ones making everything big and scary about Russia to distract from the fact that their party lost to a candidate less popular than lice.
Yeah, except for you failed to correctly identify the actors. The new McCarthyism is claiming that everyone that you don't like is a Russian spy/shill. But it's not the "full blown left" that makes that claim. It's the corporate Dems.
The only group consistently conflated with the Nazis are Nazi sympathizers, and understandably so. This is, of course, excluding clickbait headlines and the internet's general tendency to call everything they don't like Nazis.
Actually, the American people are centrist to center-left. The American political parties are center-right, and far-right. Please educate yourself on polling data and end your ridiculous delusions, so you don't continue to sound like an uninformed moron.
There are only two sides to join in marching/protest. But that doesn't mean you are obligated to take a side. these people willingly sided with Nazis, and it's not as if anybody is surprised by their presence at this rally.
Everybody who was just okay with having Nazi flags around them was labeled a Nazi. Had half of the right wing crowd been telling the Nazis to fuck off, you might have a point, but I've seen no indication that that was the case.
That source skews very conservative in what it costs to live. I've lived in one of the cheaper places in the country, and $15 is hardly more than it takes to not subsist largely on inferior goods. Of course, those estimates also assume someone single (presumably a monk), and some people have children. Plus, people in areas with low costs of living are less subject to exploitation if they can reasonably afford to move somewhere else.
Why not let each State and municipality decide to set the levels themselves, since the national level effectively does nothing?
Because this country is infected with selfish bastards that buy off politicians. These are often more effective at the state level. A decent national minimum wage sets a wage floor, so people aren't trapped. The reason states and municipalities would set their own wage is because their cost of living is drastically higher than the country.

Yeah, seems more like the cynic would be the person calling out the 'pivot' as a failure.

We're talking about that most heinous of crimes: theft of money.

This text is to undermine slashdot's anti-caps filtering. I'm just typing this so I can properly mock you with liberal usage of caps lock.

If those people didn't want to be lumped in with Nazis, they should have told the Nazis they weren't welcome.
Everybody who was just okay with having Nazi flags around them was labeled a Nazi. Had half of the right wing crowd been telling the Nazis to fuck off, you might have a point, but I've seen no indication that that was the case.

You set a living minimum wage at the national level, and cities and states with higher costs of living raise their minimum wages accordingly.
