There was a Supreme Court case a cpuple of years ago where some leftists sued to get the names of people who signed a petition to get some proposal on the ballot that they didn't like. Their admitted goal was to publicly shame and outright harass people who signed it.
The SC upheld the request (it's important The People can verify this themselves) but they found the real reason "disturbing". After all, the whole point of a secret vote is so you can vote wihout harassment.
We don't know how it could arise. But it is a real phenomenon, and therefore must arise out of physics somehow.
Note a dualist position just pushes the physics off into a different realm, a brain in a vat, or God's eye, or whatever. But there is still a physics there.
Also, since it is a real physical phenomenon, it cannot arise out of the abstract symbol-pushing interpretation of nerve activity. So you can't just replace a brain with an equal computer and expect consciousness (as opposed to intelligence) to arise.
Suspicion of scientists by the common man has been traced to their lack of understanding of science, and that they view scientific statements as coming from just another authority figure, equal to a politician or preacher or any talking head nowadays.
Thank you. Recognize it as an unparalleled engine of invention and wealth creation for the average person, that perhaps needs some government action for rough edges, like pollution or a safety net for sudden Jon loss.
Politics is about inserting yourself in the way of capitalism, AKA economic freedom, to get paid somehow to get back out of the way.
The first principle is freedom, and it is still way too easy for fraudulent reasons such as "there is only room for one cable company in this city", or 5000 cabs, or one ferry boat company, or private parking near an airport needs a 30% tax because they take business away from the inefficient, on-site government parking lot.
Aero's argument is logical -- we're just renting you an antenna and remote DVR system, which are legal devices in your home.
The problem is this amounts to a cable TV system, at least the rebroadcasting part. Congress specifically covered this case in law by preventing cable companies from doing the exact same thing -- just acting as a fancy antenna to transmit local TV through their cable to your TV, which you could receive over the air anyway.
But Congress decided to allow broadcast to get paid by cable for this. End of story. You can't do the logical thing.
It's like including an AM/FM chip -- it lets phone users skip streaming music, and forcing users to download stuff to overrun caps for extra charges is a selling point to the wireless companies.
And therefore is not of interest to the wireless companies.
Remember the customers of Samsung and HTC and friends are the wireless phone companies, not you. So "poor" system designs that use up data are in the interest of the wireless phone companies. Therefore no radio or tv chips.
Can't say for Germany's version of this copyright law, but this has been a known problem for years in the YouYube skeptic community. I don't know if YT has done much about it.
1. Someone beefs off about Islam on YouTube 2. Muslim SJWs lie to YouTube, claiming they own the copyright. 3. YouTube dutifully takes it down per law. 4. To get it back up, real copyright holder has to give real name and address or something. Muslim SJW gets this info (so they can respond.) 5. ??? 6. Show Islam is religion of peace???
They meant to criminalize the destruction of evidence in federal criminal investigations and that's what they did.
Yes, I'm sure that when they sat down to formulate legislative regulations on corporate finance records, they thoroughly intended that it be used for punishing fishermen who caught undersized fish.

No, because he knew it would turn into exactly what it turned into: a mutual feedback loop between politicians and unions, with very little restraining growth in numbers or benefits, unlike private sector unions.
It's pretty much taking a collapse of the local tax bases to reign it in as jobs flee.
No, government union supporters. The solution is not an all-encompassing power over every living being so there's nowhere for jobs to flee to.
At the same time, those rising prices have spurred exploration and reexamination of known deposits off the coast of Japan, in the midwestern U.S., and elsewhere.
Alex King is director of the Critical Materials Institute, a part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory. CMI is heavily involved in making rare earth minerals slightly less rare by means of supercomputer analysis; researchers there are approaching the ongoing crunch by looking both for substitute materials for things like gallium, indium, and tantalum, and easier ways of separating out the individual rare earths (a difficult process).
These are excellent examples of why, over the medium and long term (10+ year granularity) prices in these things tend to come down, rather than become problematic and scarce. It isn't just finding more, it's finding substitutes and alternatives all along the path of progress.
The Ultimate Resource is the cleverness of free people in a free society, which not only includes, but depends on economic freedom, leading to this counter-intuitive and well-established phenomenon.
Here are some related things about the benefits of an open society, and conservatives could learn a thing or two, too, about increasing rather than stifling immigration.
Here's some fuzzy footage secretly taken in an international trade debate, when one of the guys on "our side" comes in with the attitude of the OP and you.
The future of humanity will be much better off with China and India bring modern societies of economic freedomm with commensirate contributions to technological advancement, than in a nice green world with them in dirt floor poverty.
I, for one, welcome a doubling of technological advancement rate.
We can less predict the state of life in 2114 than 1914 could predict today.
Screw them in 1914 if they had slammed on the brakes to "help" us in 2014, leaving us with 1970 tech.
If low-cost ion drives can make robo mining or bringing asteroids to Earth cost efficient, I'll bet guys like you will be the first to yelp well will you look at that, someone found a way to make it profitable, and people will start moving out en mass, hey, you can't let commercial interests mine things (and you make a little wincy-face, a fleck of spittle leaving your lips) so governments should outlaw it for The Benefit of The People, only connected corporations permitted to do it.
We must stop any Mayflowers!
Sorry! Sorry, dude. I'm full of bees and vinegar and waiting for Congress to spring into action, on top of OSHA and a million other regulations, grinding American innovation to a halt even faster.
This issue is a result of the runaway success of freedom-based capitalism in providing food at ever-cheaper rates.
Now too much food is the problem. Fair enough. I'll take it (glances at the rest of human history and much of the world today.). It's better than the alternative.
Historically, economists talked in terms of calories produced per person, and nutrition produced per person, and dollars per calorie produced, when analyzing poverty and starvation. What a wonderful problem to have, seeing the far end of that curve, where it starts being a problem.
These are plug-and-play religions, regardless of veracity, as far as their meme template goes.
Religion: "Give me an all-encompassing power over you, and I will give you an afterlife reward."
Politics is the same, but usually talks of 5 and 10 year plans that never seem to materialize, but are always comfortably past the next election, when hopefully things have gotten better on their own.
100 year forecasts, wow.
Well, people in 100 years reading this. I hope we ignored this guy and left you with amazing tech we can scarcely imagine, rather than crap scarcely better than we have now. I hope you are all living in virtual worlds, your bodies tended to by robots.

ENOUGH. Time for freedom
Exactly. A quantum potential and quantum physics are not nothing, in the philosophical sense of why does anything exist at all.
Why is existence of quantum potential there, as opposed to something else...or nothing.
Which is irrelevant if its purpose is to look for and accelerate benchmark-like activities.
Is this perma-set on Windows? Or just on benchmarks? And what would the bit be called?

They are an evolutionary dead end.
Perhaps. Bit it will hihligjt once and for all humans are not just evolving DNA but the twin streams of data: DNA and memes.
For millenia, anti-gay memes kept gays breeding in families, preserving whatever, if it's there, of DNA gay-related.
Now that meme pressure is gone. It will take centuries if not more to see if gayness evolves away now.
It's all pointless really, as humans will control their DNA by computer analysis, probably within the lifespan of some currently alive.
