I'll check it out.
I've checked it out. Very nice. The fact that 4 of the non-Russian top 10 in size are States, including the politically very different California and Texas (9 and 10 in population), sheds some light on the difficulty in providing homogeneity.
They recognize themselves in mirrors, give themselves names, know each other's names... So they're fully self and other aware!
That is so cool! We have another sentient race to hang out with!!
Shit. Now we know that, I think that means they have rights. This will be a hassle.
But cool!
I can't agree with that. No matter one's personal feelings towards either party, its silly to think that any politician would intentionally harm the middle class or any other important demographic. They're all afraid to even discuss things like fixing Social Security because the elderly are afraid that they might be harmed. Unintentionally, sure. And if there is unintended harm, they'll waste no time in blaming the other party for it.
Forget what it can be exchanged for, the simple fact that it can be exchanged for other things defines it as currency. Hell, it's self-defined as currency!
That it can be exchanged directly for things that the SEC regulates, means that they can regulate those exchanges.
How many first world nations are the size of the US? How many have the social-ethnic-cultrual-economic diversity of the US?
Pick a European nation. How many US States are larger than that nation? More populous?
Perhaps having a much smaller, socially homogeneous, country helps keep down on the red tape.
I'm never very happy with the idea of comparing the US to any one European nation for that very reason.
I can provide some insight here! I do IT for a large real estate company, and the word is that updates to Zillow happen much more infrequently than the MLS services that realtors use (and pay for). I gather that Zillow gets this data eventually, but there is quite a bit of lag and distortion.
Even assuming there is, that doesn't mean we need new laws. That will just piss off gun rights advocates, cause a whole uproar and get exactly zero done. Why not just issue a warning and encourage the use of non lead ammo for hunting?
Not just an intelligence agency, they are military intelligence. Part of the DoD.
So, not only are they operating in contravention of their charter, one may even try the argument that they are violating the 3rd Ammendment!
And I'd really like it if someone did try that. I don't think the 3rd has ever been used in the courts.
Great dad?
If, when I was growing up, my dad had decided to turn most of my bedroom into his hobby space, I would have been anything but happy. I notice that the article doesn't mention the kids age. But since it took five years to build, it's possible that his son reached the age where a boy begins to really need his privacy, if you know what I mean.
For masturbation. That's what I mean.
Even if the kid has not yet reached that age, I'm sure he still needs sleep. And if you've ever been working on a project even remotely as cool as this, you know there are a lot of very late, profanity laden, nights involved. Kids need sleep! Even if they say otherwise!
How about a cloud of nanites?
Mars is not practically terraformable, what with it being too small to retain an atmosphere, but Venus clearly can.
So, develop nanites. Then develop nanites that can catalyze the atmosphere into something a bit tastier than sulphuric acid, using the ambient temperature to power the process. Two birds, one stone.
Make them shiny, and they can also be used to reflect away incoming solar energy, or make them black and they can eat it.
Now clearly I don't know if the reactions involved are endo or exo thermic. But hey, we can always have our nanites fire photons off world if we need to dump more heat.
Let's not forget the issue of choice. You choose to sign up with Facebook, you choose what to say and who can see it. You don't have that option with the NSA.
Its also 147AE repeated. Makes me wonder if he had $83886 in his account. Or $838.86
Well, one of the numbers reported somewhere worked out that way. I wouldn't really know. I can't count past 20 with my pants on.
You know, in the meantime while we wait for lawsuits and lazy congressmen, we can still do something about this. Why not simply make the NSA's activity unmanageable? How? By overwhelming them with the volume of data they have to sift through. Better yet, we need to overwhelm them with data that their system will flag as interesting.
How about using multipart mime encoding to send email one character at a time?
Tag your subjects with trigger words like revolt, jihad, etc.
Start up a new email account, use it for something suspicious, and then set up a loop to move as many messages through it as you can.
Okay, check this out. Individuals have certain protected rights, including the right to organize into larger social structures. So, when organized, the component individuals express and exersize their rights not only as individuals on the level of-and-as individuals, but also now upon the level of the group and as the group. Conversely, restrictions upon the ability of the organization to express those rights that would be guaranteed for the individual, is then the actual restriction on the rights of each member. So, if you like, you can look at the organization as a proxy through which the collected rights and will of the members is expressed.
But here's the interesting bit. Higher order organizations are not only a medium for the expression of the individual on this level (that of a large group), but as they act and interact, they express an isometry with their constituents. Basically, groups look like individuals to other groups. Self awareness is even harder to figure on that order than it is with individuals, but if it looks, acts and quacks like people, then lets try to avoid violating its rights.
Okay, there seems to be some confusion here. First, you are right, corporations are just a group of people that work together. But due to their structure, function and purpose, they have to be treated as a legal entity equivalent to an individual human.
The easiest way to think about it for programmers may be as an array that inherits the properties and methods of the individual objects it contains.
If the headline hadn't specified that the ship sunk, I would have been cast into a tailspin of panic and despair by the notion that a ship could break in half, and then continue to float.
No missionary ever has considered that maybe, just maybe, his religion is not the "true" one, and that by converting people of other religions to his, he is maybe, just maybe, taking them away from the "true" faith, and thereby doing harm to their immortal souls.
Of course not! That's how (religious) faith works.
Actually, I shouldn't say that. My money would be on most people of faith having doubts, or a 'crisis of faith' at least once.
Still, the nature of faith defines a set of premises that generates a self validating system of logic. The Gospel is Truth. Literally. That is what gospel means! Starting from a premise like that, how could you end up doubting the correctness of evangelizing the faith?
Some of the greatest thinkers, logicians and mathematicians in the history of the human race fell prey to this.
I think Descartes recognized it, but was unable to say so out loud. If you have read his Meditations on First Philosophy, there is a giant gap in his logic between "cogito ergo sum" and the third meditation, "therefore God". And by 'gap' I mean that the first two steps he takes guarantee the invalidity of the third in a manner so clear I find it difficult to accept that he missed it.

Hurricane sandy anyone?
Increased seismic activity?
The civil war in Syria?
Autism??
My dog's unusually hardy fleas?!?
The box office failure of Oblivion, which I though was a pretty damn solid SciFi flick?
My girlfriend leaving me?!?!?!

I hate you for that.
For all levels of government. I believe we have a right.

Why? Because I'm not sure they actually exist.
Can anyone define or explain the concepts for me? Without simply defining them as Justice?

Strange bedfellows made by politics, activists shocked.
