Violating your oath of office is a high crime and/or treason. Any congresscritters who had direct knowledge of what was being done, and made no attempt at stopping it, have failed to "uphold and defend the Constitution."
Rep. Peter King should be impeached and prosecuted for violation of his oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, a high crime.
I might go so far as to claim that he has even adhered to it's enemies (those who seek to undermine the Constitution), giving them aid and comfort, and should therefore be tried for treason.
I submit you can't, other than perhaps a small child.
Now, without the 5th, and with laws in place for lying to authority, anyone can be arrested and tried - a simple question on a driver's license application or tax form - "What crimes have you committed in your life?" - would do it. You either accuse yourself of jay-walking at some time, or don't and risk a felony conviction for lying when they find a video of you doing so.
I don't think that sort of society is compatible with goals of freedom and liberty.
You're making uninformed assumptions. My example was for a simple case, merely to illustrate.
Why don't you tell us exactly how many questions are in each section? What type of questions, T/F, multiple choice, etc. Any bonus questions, or bonus points available only when a question or score is achieved? Is there a time component? Is a "curve" applied above a certain percentile to differentiate between test takers? Any essay questions requiring subjective scoring?
...I'll just add that if the scores are integer rounded, the data points will have an uneven x axis distribution, 0,3,7,10, etc. That will make it appear that points are missing visually, too. Just like on the graphs.
Without knowing how many questions are given in each section, and how they're scored, that's not possible to say. The set of possible scores doesn't necessarily include every value from 1-100.
If there are 30 questions in a section, and it's scored on a straight percentage basis, you're going to see discrete peaks every 3.33%, and nothing in between. Gosh, just like on the graphs.
That doesn't explain the odd overall distributions, however.
UTC isn't French. And it isn't English. It's a compromise acronym for both the French "Temps Universel Coordonné" and the English "Coordinated Universal Time."
On both my cars (Toyota, Audi), locking or unlocking with the fob causes the marker lights to blink. I think most cars are the same. I don't see that happening in the video - just the interior lights coming on when the door handle is pulled or the door opened.
"In order to get twice as many transistors in (assuming a sane layout at first), those transistors need to have half the area, and hence 1/2 the linear size"
If you halve the linear size, each transistor takes 1/4 the area. For half the area, you only need.707 of the linear size.
It's not just "transistors on a chip." It's a very special type of transistor which is able to store a charge while unpowered. You'll find that Moore's law doesn't apply to power transistors, either - there are fundamental constraints on size due to the need to handle high current.
It's unreasonable to claim that Moore's law applies to special cases.
Based on what? User agent strings, which an Opera user may have set to "mask as IE" so they can navigate web sites created by brain dead developers who insist on checking user agent strings?
No, not defense spending. US military spending, which despite the Orwellian terminology used to describe it, has been predominately offensive in the past decade. The US spends about 4.8% of GDP on military spending, more than double the next largest (China), with about 2%.
The US spends about 20% GDP on social programs (from here) - below the OECD member average.
"Facility, not shelter. Shelters don't immediately murder animals given to it for the purpose of adoption."
You're the sort of person they want to sue. That statement is clearly false, and constitutes defamation. It takes some time to process the animal through the facility before they kill it (even if that's just moving it from the receiving door to the slaughter table), so it obviously isn't immediate.
At the time the units developed, the concept of interchangeable parts was foreign. Assembly lines were non-existent. Making a road 8 feet wide so a chariot could fit didn't require any more precision than the average foot. Knowing that it was 25,000 paces (25 miles) to the next town was good enough to suit the need.
" It's like if my toddler invented a system of weights and measures." Unlike today, where many units are defined by fundamental physical properties which can be duplicated (to a high accuracy) anywhere, Imperial measurements came from the need to be able to specify units which would be suitably accurate across geographies.
So, we ended up with a foot being, well, the length of a foot. A mile ("mille passus") being 1000 paces, etc. The needs were to measure small units (foot), or large distances (mile), so the conversion wasn't often needed (who builds a mile long building, or steps toe-to-heal across Europe?)
Then you get a pound being equivalent to so many grains of wheat (or a different number of grains of barley), etc.
It made sense at the time, and worked well enough.
BTW, 16 oz in a lb is from binary powers, easily divisible. The history of temperature units is interesting and convoluted, but 32 for freezing is based on binary divisions (64 units) between that and human body temperature (96). 0 was ice+salt. So again, it was an attempt at units which could be duplicated independently.

"I have a hard time believing the US performs more domestic surveillance than Putin's Russia."
Why? This is America! We're number 1! Fuck, yeah!
"what do I expect when this site has moved so far right lately I have trouble recognizing it"
You're confused. The sun's not setting, the horizon is rising.
"Remotely access...not locally..."
Oh, yea. The device obviously has no local connections - it must use Telepathic Transport Protocol (TTP) at layer 2.

now let them build what's in those plans, and go into perpetual national debt, crippling their economy, too!

The opposite of gravity is comedy.
