Would you apply that to real estate? Make it basically impossible to inherit the house your grandparents owned, or for a family farm to stay intact from one generation to the next?
Under this proposal, all land would be consolidated to corporate ownership (corporations are immortal) rather quickly. We would all be renters.
Around here, the secondhand stores won't accept any computer-related parts, after someone complained that a donated computer had private information on it. Not just hard drives, but printers, monitors, cords, keyboards, etc., are only accepted at an annual event where everything goes straight into a recycler. I think the whole thing was cooked up by the local retailers.
Having seen a blonde-haird russian girl being lectured at a checkpoint in Texas for not having her proper immigration papers, I suspect Hispanics aren't the target of the law - illegal immigrants are.
The MUTCD and Traffic Engineering design standards actually say that you aren't supposed to use stop signs to reduce speed in an area (no 4-way stops to just slow down a neighborhood).
I've heard them called "traffic circus," and I think it is an appropriate name.
The way I see it, there are 2 main problems with them.
1. Drivers are untrained in how to deal with them.
2. They work best with a large diameter circle in the middle (100'+), 2 lanes going around around it, and all incoming roads having 1 feeding lane, with approaching speed limits the same as for the circle.
In practice, (1) is a matter of bad drivers/no enforcement, and (2) is not achieved because towns see traffic circles as a way to do without traffic lights at an existing intersection, without devoting nearly enough land to them. If they are too small, people see it as something to get across rather than something to join and then leave - they cut right across them when going straight through. Most existing intersections are just not good to be retrofit with a small-diameter traffic circle.
And the KGB aren't known for overstating their influence and reach, in their own records?
How much farther down the rabbit hole should McCarthy have gone? Have you ever actually heard the lunatic's ramblings?
Would you trust a politician to keep such a promise? The genie always finds a way to screw up your wish, even when he grants it to the letter. Maybe we should make them promise to vote against everything - not voting isn't what kills bills. Or maybe we should get a total-filibuster guarantee? I see there is some room for different approaches.
The problem is, no matter how we vote, we still end up with a Federal Government the next day. Much as I have advocated a "vote NO" option, we have no procedure allowing a position to remain vacant.
I heard a similar account from a buddy of mine who was in the recording industry back in the mid 70's. Someone did a bunch of metrics to determine the characteristics of a hit song and came up with some average: x% singing, y% cellos, z% electric guitars, a tempo between t1 and t2, etc. And then they made a song that had exactly all of that stuff.... and it sucked.
It isn't what is has in common with every other hit that makes it a hit... It is probably that one detail/difference that hasn't been done in a while applied to those shared details that makes it a hit.
I would agree, except this broadcasting isn't obvious to most people the way some guy on a streetcorner yelling his credit card numbers would be. Remember the ruling on thermal imaging without a warrant?

Because cash isn't supposed to be mailed? Because I am not set up to accept swipe card birthday presents?
Stupid unicode. [facepalm]
When a synæsthete [facepalm]s, which other sense is affected? Do you smell it?

Just tilt the bike the opposite direction. The direction of the vector could be correct, even if the felt magnitude isn't.
Airbags won't do too much anyway, but if they exempt seatbelts, then we'll see some carnage.
That's because they weren't invited to the meeting where the rules where set.
First, make sure they are plugged in.

Once we have an abundant, reliable supply, do you think demand will remain constant?
What are fatalities per 100k "miles driven?"
Do American vehicles spend more time/miles on the road than UK vehicles?

How does that turn (4/3)*pi*r^3 into (1/6)*tau*r?

Would have overpaid.
Could not this same strategy be applied to legitimate real-machine patents?
The derivation works with pi as well as it ever could with tau. Funny thing about integration - coefficients are the easy part.
Math fail. This is why people who use math don't listen to people who advocate Tau.
The new people wouldn't see it as discontent with the process in general, they would see it as a mandate to push their own agenda.

Wait, am I supposed to be using the shift key somewhere in there? the middle of the right-triplet?
