For example, the law of universal gravitation so that the movements of planets finally made sense? Because those imagined epicycles sure as hell weren't really there.
"Islamic", maybe. European? Since the 1600s, the wobbly foundations of ancient astronomy, cosmology etc. have been thoroughly replaced with *actual* understanding.
Material evidence of a Jewish population? Or merely textual references showing that some Jews may have visited Egypt at some point? I'm only aware of the latter. The former was sought for but to my knowledge never found.
I guess that depends on your definition of slave. The number of prisoners outnumbers the number of orphans by a large margin. Not all of them are forced to slavery but it is a bit hard to get good numbers on that one.
If mere prison conditions such as restricted freedom and mandated work qualify as slavery, then slavery exists practically anywhere. Yet it seems that it's not generally the case that when you talk about modern slavery, imprisonment after court sentencing comes to the mind of most people. In theory, the 13th amendment to US Constitution allows for enslavement of prisoners. In practice, I'm not sure there's a clear line between what is slavery and what isn't in this case. Personally I'm not even sure that that part of the 13th amendment means anything else than "yep, this is the one case where you can make people work even if they don't want to". But I'm not adjusted to US sensibilities I won't dwell on it.
Exactly, why change things that work just fine? Bikeshedding instead of doing useful improvements such as fixing Python's ridiculous performance problems is telling.

Yes, we learned to write a long time ago. So people wrote down a lot of data. Awesome, now what inference do you do with that data?
A Newt?

Americans?
So communication isn't necessary anymore in emergency situations?
Yes, and the DMV licenses you to drive vehicles. That doesn't mean people can't have their own cars.
Satellites are subject to international agreements. Lasy I checked, that is a federal matter.
So what? That doesn't mean that the federal government is the only entity allowed to launch and operate satellites.
But isn't that the whole point? A Pigouvian tax on carbon *should* be universal.
The same way it handles square Robin records?
So, the real question is if it has twenty seats?

Time to reregister as NoTechGrl?
Much ado about nothing.

No, it mostly means that drawing finishes faster and the chips go idle quicker.
"Corvée", actually.
There's a world of difference between not being able to have children and being forced under threat of death work for others.
And there's a crapload of the former in the US, whereas the latter is illegal.
Why would anyone "want" to keep it? That's my point.
Continuity of literature, documentation, APIs, and working code?
There are many more orphans today in the US than there are slaves, which makes it even more imbecilic.
LISP is an offensive term, it's called Lisp today. Off with you to a reeducation camp!
Perhaps it's the fact that instead of real fixes and improvements, somebody is wasting time with introducing useless incompatibilities?
Roughly by 70 kg? Is that meaningful? (You *do* have access to the remaining 15 kWh anyway, the cells are not just sitting there.)
Owners should have complete control of their software/hardware even if it is a car.
Fine, but then they lose battery warranty.
Death metal helps
Death metal...is that mercury or lead?
