    I think that's partially because today's millionaires have more choices. Several countries actively advertise citizenship "for sale" to avoid taxes...St Vincent is one.

    they pay "more" than the rest of us, but that amount still doesn't cover the damage they do. In fact, the "gas tax" that goes to the Highway Fund is SO small that their net effect is under the need amount to fix it. So the more they drive, the further in the red their "damage balance" vs "taxes paid to fix damage" goes.

    At least when it's your own personal incompetency you can realize your mistakes and fix them, without additional contractor complications. You'd quickly realize "that won't work" and actually fix that issue than just "finishing quickly" or taking a crowbar / hammer to whatever and beating on it until it fits / works.

    even more annoying is Outlook's spam blocking has been delibertly disabled; you can't just "block domain" any more from the individual emails. M$ claims this is to stop "accidental" right clicking on an email, scrolling down to "Junk Options", then also accidentally clicking "Block Sender's Domain". I accidentally do multi-step actions all the time, blindly clicking all over my PC! Thanks Microsoft! I'll put $ that someone paid some $$$ to have that removed.

  10. Re:Consequences for quantum computing? on Researchers Identify 'Tipping Point' Between Quantum and Classical Worlds · · Score: 1

    probably won't work, as the individual "servers" in the cluster wouldn't be able to communicate with each other on a quantum level if there is a "hard limit". The cluster could break down the problem into multiple, simpler ones and divide that up amongst itself...but that might collapse the wave forms down if there is some "limit". But I don't think that's what TFA was talking about, I think it's talking about the energy point where matter become "macro matter", ie the wave becomes the photon.

  11. Re:Heisenberg compensator ... on Researchers Identify 'Tipping Point' Between Quantum and Classical Worlds · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can visualize exactly what these interactions would look like. Borrowing energy from it's future self isn't really THAT weird, it's still maintaining the same total amount over it's lifetime. It's both a particle and a wave because, at that size and energy level, it exists outside of our macro existence. And DMT isn't really strong enough for this nor does it last very long; to really grok it you need dextromethorphan hydrobromide in large quantities. It's a milligram per kilo formula, "large quantities" as compared to the standard 15mg dose; to reach the place you need between 1.5-2 grams. The set-up is also very important, I suggest finding some TED talks, documentaries, college course broadcasts, etc, that go into these ideas you can't quite grasp...about 8 hours of them. Comfy chair, dark room, dose yourself and let it roll. You will visit places internally that you didn't know existed, see things that will break down those macro walls. You might even meet entities that will explain it to you. I'm assuming these entities are whatever is playing mixed in with your own thoughts; but you'll be so dissociated you can have in-depth conversations with them and "learn" things in a radical new way.

    Having a 169 IQ helps too, but anyone can reach quantum visualization and comprehension this way. You still won't be able to explain it to most; it just doesn't sync with our macro experience. But you will grok it.

    This sounds like a pre-made lawsuit, something the Kocks would fund. The conspiracy theorist in me says that this suit was just ready to go, probably when the FCC first started talking about net neutrality. This tiny ISP is being used because it's a "small business"...if Comcast / Cox / AT&T filed this it would be even harder to push. And it's no coincidence it's in Texas either. Someone needs to start digging around and find out who is REALLY funding this...as I doubt this ISP is using their own profits to pursue this.
