Not being from the US, my idea of a duty is an EXTRA tax on imports, over and above what would be paid if the goods originated in the state. Duty is a method of favouring local goods by imposing extra tax on imported goods. So charging regular sales tax on out of state goods isn't a duty, it's effectively cancelling an anti-duty, and thus doesn't violate the article you cited.
Water in a computer is a PITA. Water cooling systems are hard to replace and can be difficult to deal with. Which is why very few stock machines use them.
The difference is that the air from the fan is moving linearly over the heat sink. With a spinning heat sink, the air is not going in a straight line from the heat sink's perspective.
I think you mean centrifugal. Centripetal force is always a real force. Centrifugal force is fictional sometimes, depending on your reference frame. And the other guy beat me to the XKCD reference while I was logging in.
Human research labours under very strict ethical requirements. Animal research as well. Sociologists get off easy, but apparently some people decided they shouldn't get off quite THAT easily.
1. Dry suits are warmer and used in cold water. You'd have to be nuts to go to the trouble of rigging up some kind of warm water system if you could just use a dry suit. You can't just stick a hose into the neck of a dry suit because it's sealed. That's how it stays dry.
2. He said the water was pumped down, into the open. The divers "discovered" they could jam the hose into their wetsuits and stay even warmer.
So basically, to be fair, we shouldn't expect someone who doesn't know anything about diving to come up with a believable diving story.
That's one of the reasons OS X is more secure than Windows. As an ordinary user you can install stuff for your own use without admin rights. Which means you're much less tempted to run everything as admin.
Why shouldn't a user be able to access the webcam from their own account?
You've missed the point. What they might do NOW is send more patrols to areas where there was lots of crime last week. What they want to do is to send more patrols where there's going to be lots of crime THIS week. In other words, be "proactive" instead of "reactive."
I guess I take a more minimalist approach to camping. When the sun is up it will tell you well enough what time it is, when it's not the stars will. A reasonable approximate sense of elapsed time is good enough for fuel canisters and water purification. If I happen to be with other people and they want to go off and do their own thing, we can meet up at an approximate time or back at camp for the night - schedules and precise meeting times are best left in the city.
I used to wear a watch constantly from when I was about eight until about six years ago. Then I just stopped. It's nice. When I actually want to know what time it is I can pull out a cell phone or check a computer. Most of the time I don't care.
Yeah. You have to leave the stubble untrimmed. Then it says "I was too busy being awesome to shave." Or in my case "I was too busy kite surfing in Costa Rica to shave."
We know a decent amount about it. And we don't want to replicate it in our scientific instruments. The brain does all sorts of extrapolating, interpolating and other forms of making shit up. Which is great if you're a mammal who needs to see the sabre toothed tiger stalking you, but not so good if you're trying to get accurate, quantitative data out of a scientific instrument.
Yup, there's been a marked decline in the amount of money Hollywood is making over the last decade and a half. They're really hurting now. Oh wait, no there hasn't: http://www.the-numbers.com/market/.
"Just because one might be paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."
No, you're paranoid. A child is FAR more likely to be kidnapped by a family member than a stranger. And if a stranger does want to kidnap a child, there isn't any shortage of them. He or she doesn't need to go looking at GPS coordinates in family photos.
"And as a result the manufacturers get income which they can invest in R&D."
It's so much more efficient to give money to an end user so they can give it to a company so that company can market, build and sell some inefficient tech and MAYBE invest their profit in R&D instead of more marketing, dividends, etc.
Yes, giving money to that same company, or a university research lab and saying "do R&D with this" is MUCH more complicated and far more inefficient.
"nobody who controls the machines is going to just give food and housing and water to people"
I hate to tell you, but this is exactly what happens in most of the western world.
"example? health care. if you are a wal-mart part-time employee, and you get cancer, which something like 1/3 of people will, you have to declare bankruptcy."
Only in the US of A.
Yes, you guys might have to abandon your obsession with being slightly more capitalistic than everyone else.
Uh huh. There are LOTS more people dying in the gutters now than before we got all these damned machines.
Automation simply doesn't destroy jobs long term. It tends to create them. People who used to do boring, repetitive jobs go off and do other things. Some of them make machines that do those boring jobs. Some maintain them. Some go do entirely new things.

You'd think the submitter would have figured out they were unrelated when the CME happened before the comet got near the sun....
People are pretty crappy at adding two numbers together too. That sounds like a triumph for AI, not a failing.
"but that is also reactive rather than proactive"

I can see how prematurely investigating your martial partner might end up in trouble. War even.
The animals who get these neurons will have neat little windows cut into their skulls. They'll also live in labs.
I guess you've never called a remote area on a plain old telephone hey?

I'm having trouble figuring out the fascination for knowing what the exact time is. Particularly when you're camping.

Sorry, McDonald's doesn't accept bitcoin.
The same way everyone else on the Internet makes money. You've noticed how many ads are on porn sites, right?
Yup, there's been a marked decline in the amount of money Hollywood is making over the last decade and a half. They're really hurting now. Oh wait, no there hasn't: http://www.the-numbers.com/market/.
Trolling on a Google scale would be a social experiment, no?
