Yup. I have a friend whose life was almost ruined before she got her diagnosis (don't know if it's actually Celiac's Disease) to replace the earlier one of congestive heart failure.
I also have a friend, who I see more often, with a sulfite problem, and that's not on labels. I've gotten pretty good at reading ingredient lists, but it would be really nice to have some sort of labeling.
What could Satoshi sue for? The NSA read all his publicly available writings? Why would that be illegal? Jewel vs. NSA was based on the NSA reading private communications, so it doesn't apply here.
According to TFS, the NSA used publicly available material, so no warrant was needed. This is similar to saying that police looking at everone's face to match with wanted posters requires a warrant.
I'm not happy about what's happening with privacy, and we need some changes to reflect modern capabilities that differ in kind from the capabilities that existed from the writing of the Constitution up to my childhood. That, however, is another issue.
None needed. This is all publicly available information. Lots of people publish things on the internet, such as Slashdot posts. They collected everything that they could find was published, picked out Satoshi's published material, and had no need for anything private.
If this is true, it begs the question: why is the NSA looking for Satoshi?
First, if I didn't correct you to "raises the question", I'd have my grammar nazi membership revoked, so forgive me.
Second, I can think of reasons. They may have wanted to test this stylometric stuff, and Satoshi was convenient. With the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin, they might want to know who's got loads of them, or trace who originated them.
Most people strung out on drugs don't die immediately afterwards. Now, suppose that half of that 1005 were strung out on lethal drugs; that leaves 502 deaths after tasing with less than a third attributed, even in part, to the tasing. That is still extremely suspicious.
Actually, it was to provide separate primary stats for magic-users and clerics. Most of the original boxed set was slapped together (the rules sure weren't well-written) without deep thought.
Is that a violation? If I take a GPLed project, make changes, and give the improved version to some friends, then my friends have to be able to get the source, and they're free to redistribute under the GPL terms. You have no right to get a copy of the binary, and therefore no right to get a copy of the source.
I know we can make biological machines that have "awareness". Please cite the mathematics that distinguishes biological and silicon machines. Heck, cite a definition of "awareness" that's precise enough to derive any sort of mathematical conclusion.
In that case, if there's room for two trucks on the other side because traffic is partly backed up, or the lights are close together, the convoy must not enter the intersection. While the road ahead will clear with a green light on the farther intersection (if it doesn't, traffic's already screwed), it could partly fill up again with people turning from the crossroad. The convoy could be stranded indefinitely even if there's always room for two trucks on the other side.
People are donating money with no strings attached.
Legally, that's true. That's why I've seen Kickstarters listing why the people getting the money are going to be able to give you something. Reputation is useful here.
At least with Kickstarter, you're only charged if the project is funded. If I contribute to a fund that never hits its goal, it doesn't matter if I don't get anything because I didn't pay anything.
I love keyword searches. "I won't work with COBOL, and never touched CICS anyway. I have a friend who loves Python. I've heard about HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I own a.NET domain, and once played a musical instrument in the key of Csharp."
You can hear the Doppler effect by listening to a siren go past you. That's because the siren is moving relative to you. If you were in the emergency vehicle, the siren would not be moving relative to you, and you wouldn't get any Doppler effect. Relativity in action.
The problem is that GR makes it impossible to falsify the claim because it is essentially saying that gravity acts as if it is instantaneous (like Newtonian gravity) even though it isn't.
Got a cite on that? I don't know much GR, but I've never seen anything like that. It would be a way to transmit information faster than light if it existed.
You also don't get waves when propagation is instantaneous, so that makes no sense. LIGO proves that gravity has finite-speed propagation.
I am convinced that most of Einstein's physics is a scam for this reason and many others.
It would appear that you don't know it very well, and therefore can't have an informed opinion on whether it's a scam. Moreover, if it's a scam, please explain

Oh noes! Kids might learn the curse words! Seriously, it's a matter of time before your kids learn those words.
When my son was in middle school, he reported to me once that he learned a new word on the playground. It started with "mother" and had another bad word. I asked him, "You do know that word is almost always inappropriate, right?" and that was that. He did seem a little awed by the reaction it got from the teachers.
I also knew a toddler who (a) was fascinated by trucks, and (b) couldn't pronounce "tr" so he used "f".
Article I, Section 8, paragraph 8: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." The "The Congress shall have Power to..." is sort of carried over from the first paragraph. That's where Intellectual Property comes in.
Already the secret service is bankrupt from bills they have to pay to properties owned by Trump
From the Constitution, Article 2, Section One: "The President shall, as stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them."
Have you looked at his approval numbers lately? He's got his deluded group of core supporters, making irrational demands out of their sense of entitlement, and pretty much nobody else.
We know that AGW is happening, and have fairly good ideas as to where it's going. Beyond that, things get iffy. It would be nice to have a better idea of the economic costs. It would be nice to have a better idea as to what will happen. It would be nice to have ideas on what to do about it.
You same lefties that can seemingly bring to a halt companies over stupid social shit
If we lefties could actually do that, rather than seeming to do it, we'd be in better shape. Got companies in mind that were forced into bankruptcy by important social concerns?
As far as acting goes, nobody here makes a measurable difference to the CO2 in the atmosphere. We're doing that collectively, and to meaningfully slow it down we need collective action. Market forces would work, if we could internalize the CO2 externalities. That's why I'm in favor of carbon taxes, and with the current President there's not a snowball's chance of them passing in the US.
If we allow illegal government action against people just because they're assholes, we're ushering in a police state. Did he embezzle? That's illegal, and he could have been prosecuted for that. Did he do other wrong things? Then hold him to account for them.

TFS suggests that the NSA went through publicly available writings. Anyone has the right to do that.
WTF is illegal about gathering publicly available writings?

Coming up with an idea and starting a Kickstarter won't work as well as having a prototype and starting a Kickstarter.
At least with Kickstarter, you're only charged if the project is funded. If I contribute to a fund that never hits its goal, it doesn't matter if I don't get anything because I didn't pay anything.

I want clawback lawsuits after he leaves office.
I think you may just have insulted conservatives.

That's legally dangerous in the US, with its weak worker protection laws. In Germany, I suspect it would be a really really bad idea.
