Because the commute is less tedious more people might also move from the city center to the suburbs
This.
Its the classical problem of improving infrastructure that leads into a city: if the road is crammed and full with cars, everyone will demand that it gets expanded/more lanes, etc. Then, once that's done, people move into the suburbs with the argument that "in a half hour, you are already in the city center". More people start using the road as they moved to the suburbs. The increase will stop where the road is crammed again. The only thing that changed is that everyone now has a garden and doesn't have to live in a rented flat in a building with 15 or more floors.
They still are the company with the most open source contributions/contributors. They just have most of their projects like android on their own hosting to not overload github.
It wasn't so long ago that the "loving and peaceful" Christians acted just like the hateful Islamic preachers that the Racists like to pretend are common
There has been a certain phase in the history of the western world and of christianity, which is called Enlightenment. And yes i agree that it took well into the second half of the last century to completely catch on with everyone in the western world. Islam is unfortunately still behind in that development, like where the western world was in the 18th century.
God is all loving and wants peace, like the majority of Islamic preachers preach
A god who demands a gruesome death for adultery, and for people who steal demands the hand to be cut off. I don't say that the western world didn't have similarly gruesome laws, but it was never connected to the religion, except for few dark where women were set on fire alive for being "witches".
And its not a minority of imams who welcome such a system, as most states with muslims in the majority of the population have the shariah as part of their legal systems.
It's about as likely to get sentient as my computer is.
Don't forget that in the distant past, multicellular life which sentient human life is a branch of, evolved from eucariotic life. So it *is* possible, just takes a few billion years and a whole planet inhabited with bacteria to produce enough diversity so that this happens.
I think this is the really ridiculous part of the story: that he used a system in a different way that was targeted against the customers to fake them a speed they don't actually have.
The problem in christianity is because GOD is both loving and powerful, but the admins of the matrix don't have to be loving. No problem there. The explanation probably is "its just numbers and nothing real" or something like that. I mean we run simulations ourselves already and there the same argument is valid.
Or are people's memories show short they don't remember.
No, its just that people tend to get old and die at some point, where only the young stay, who think that history is boring and it was a different time and can't happen ever ever again.
No, but people who dox others and send lies to their employers in an attempt to get them fired are. Or at the very least, they should be considered that.
Never disputed that. This behaviour is criminal in my eyes as well. But there is a difference between an online comment which voices disagreement with the feminist ideology and such a criminal action. Both get censored though out of the same reason.
Also, the keynote was held in english. I demand that the keynote should be held in languages that match the language distribution in the population. Otherwise you will offend foreign speakers.
Its bs only in some regards. If you are in an environment where engineering doesn't target
we don't know where (or even if) the needed resources exist in viable quantities or concentrations
So let's find out! If we don't try we won't win.
human colonies are a death sentence to anyone living there permanently
How is that different from life on earth? You die here too. Yeah, maybe life expectancy in space is lower, but it was low on earth as well: just think of the stonemen, they had a hard life having to fight for survival. Thanks to civilization, we easily forget that earth is a harsh place. Of course, space will have its own challenges, and it IS a rougher place than earth without doubt, but I doubt that the challenges can't be mastered.
and at the rate we're avoiding meeting even our moderate climate change goals, we'll have a massive depopulation or extinction event long before that
We live in dangerous times for our civilization, agreed. That's why we need a backup in space. Maybe just putting a few domes with humans inside on the bottom of the oceans and somehow powering them with e.g. geothermal or nuclear fusion or whatever would do the job as well, could help us survive meteorite impacts or similar things, but idk, space is a good option as well. It just needs to be self sufficient and not depend on the atmosphere of the earth to be transparent to sunlight (which it isn't when a volcano exploded or a meteorite crashed into our planet, etc) or stuff like that
Well the problem with data caps is that while a cell tower services one phone in a certain area, it can't service any other phones. Yes, you can make the degree smaller with special antennas, but the problem stays the same: cell towers are a shared medium. If you allowed everyone to surf at full speed during the whole month, the network would collapse.
The principle of selling licenses of part of the spectrum is already a very big form of government intervention. Rather just allow any device to send at any frequency, and the people with the most powerful antennas will be able to get their signal over.
Unless everything on the internet now comes with an "exclusive worldwide copyright license" search engines are officially extinct.
Well maybe 60% of the searches on google just end on wikipedia, or something like that, so its only about the remaining 40%. However about wikipedia, goodbye citations in url forms.
What if the observable universe (whose boundary is the CMB or maybe the cosmic neutrino background) is only a small tiny fraction of the actual universe, and it does have a direction, but that direction is so small on our scale that it isn't measureable and lost in the noise?
And Trump called Obama "founder of isis". I'm sure they will become great friends.
About duerte, probably he's even good for the Philippines, not permanently, but if he cleans up the country and fights crime and corruption, that's good. Maybe his means to achieve that are low by western standards, but I guess the western methods would just simply fail in a country like the Philippines.

Its research of the "people on trains that go faster than 20mph will die" kind.

Why not e, or 12.44426268%? And haven't they something better to do? They are a bank, not a research institute, are they?
Or are people's memories show short they don't remember.
No, its just that people tend to get old and die at some point, where only the young stay, who think that history is boring and it was a different time and can't happen ever ever again.
Not as long as that member of the royal family brings disgrace to it. Then you even may get paid afterwards.

UK will get a firewall instead, while on the mainland you have free wifi. Nice trade isn't it?

Oh yeah, everyone who voices disagreement online is automatically a stalking asshole, just as every black person is a criminal.

the "free power" arguments are bs

a matter of when not whether.
If not for meat production, the animal wouldn't have been born in the first place. As long as you treat the animals well where should be the problem?
