You and Doyle make the same mistake. Assuming that one can enumerate a list of all explanations and then go about crossing off the wrong ones one by one, and further, that even assuming we can enumerate all of the explanations, possible and impossible, the subset of possible explanations numbers exactly one.
What are the odds that not only can they build it in a span of a few centuries, but also that human civilization would exist and be able to observe the specific few centuries they build it over?
Is the AC referencing a song from a fictional musical in a movie about a fraudulent musical, the musical made from that movie, or the movie version of the musical made from the movie about musical fraud?
I think if you look back at his TV, you'll find he makes a lot of plot promises that he fails to even remember later on. He seems to be setting up a great story all the time, but he never finishes telling a great story.
The only people buzzing firefighting airplanes with drones are news organizations covering the fire and drone "epidemic." As evidence, I point to an article not long ago where the pilots of a firefighting aircraft complained about and described the path a fairly substantial-sized drone took in relation to their aircraft, which was accompanied by video footage of a firefighting aircraft taken from pretty much the same positions described in the article. Where did they get that footage?
It doesn't have to say it anywhere. The extraordinary position is that a right to travel is limited to only some specific subset of all methods of travel that the traveler can afford.
In the US, non-enumerated rights are explicitly recognized to exist.
They are DRM free...Lot's of reasons they are still read, and therefore produced.
That first one is a good reason, but I wonder how common it is.
As for the remaining reasons, though.. Some people like to have books and some people like to read stories. People who like to read are really enjoying e-paper devices, in spite of the challenges of DRM.
No, you don't. Just because it's analog doesn't mean that it has infinite bandwidth, or even that the bandwidth it does have beats the bandwidth of the reconstructed signal that can be created from the sample rate a CD has.
How much does your $100 million satellite cost per-unit if you build five of them, instead? If a launch also costs $100 million, you might not bother, but if a launch costs $1million, would it be worth it to build enough to have a reasonable chance of success across several launches?
The weird thing is, the Law already is code. I mean, not only does it call the list of rules a "code" but it shares many features and problems of software code.
For instance, there is a lot of duplication of effort—descriptions of sections codified within the sections themselves; tables of contents distributed at multiple levels of the structure willy-nilly (not sure the software analog of this..); attempts to avoid duplication by referencing other laws or sections of other laws; and a weird runtime patching system in which the effects of old laws are modified by the text of newer ones.
The US Code is long overdue for a refactor, and indeed would probably benefit greatly from many of the lessons learned in software development.
Exactly. If you don't want to waive your rights, you should simply be rich enough to exercise them. General aviation doesn't have body scanners OR pat downs....
I don't know why that should imply any particular degree of surprisingness. Cryptography is all about algorithms that are relatively simple, but which don't have simple (or at least, no known simple) reversing algorithms.
Are you sure we can duplicate a housefly. Are you sure you're not thinking of fruit fly? (which are admittedly, probably more common in households than the house fly...)
You don't solve the problem of people being deprived of liberty without due process by further depriving them of liberty without due process. Gun rights supporters aren't, as a group, making any claims about the no-fly list, but I'll bet if you poll them, you'd find less support for TSA's excesses than among the general population.
I don't think you can sign away your right to legal remedy entirely. For instance, disputes over the execution of the arbitration clause itself can't be resolved through the disputed arbitration.
I think the arbitration is just an added step you have to go through so you can say you attempted to resolve the dispute between the parties and within the terms of the agreement before taking the step of litigating.
They can clause it up all they want. Once you go to "binding" arbitration without satisfactory result, what prevents you from taking them to real court?
That'll even out once we stop seeing improvements in image sensors for a while. People don't care about long-term maintenance of digital cameras because they expect to buy a new phone every couple of years anyway.
this is a huge issue WRT to how advertising and licensing works which ironically everyone knows the Neilson ratings are complete bullshit -- but they [Neilson ratings] are so ingrained that no one wants to switch to a different model.
They seem to be making the mistake of trying to cling to the advertising model. The problem is that it's now not only technically possible to track individual views and either bill based on that or distribute subscription money based on that, but semiconductor miniaturization has made it almost trivially inexpensive to do so. There's no need to have single-payer television any more, and it will eventually fall aside to a more market-based environment.
How long it takes that to happen will depend on how hard the entrenched players fight against the tide.

Actually, it's the other way around. The value of cash relative to "the market" increased today.
the lower transition temperature is 70C.. I'm not sure medical implants are going to be such a great idea...

The 9th and 10th Amendments are more recent than the commerce clause, therefore they take precedence. End. of. story.
Or.. it should be, anyway.
Why would you hold it in an exchange? It's just numbers in a file.

You shouldn't have to. The law should be accessible to every man who is expected to abide it.
Did you know there are already mars "environmentalists" who don't want anyone to despoil the beautiful barrenness of the lifeless red planet?
It'll still be worth it if he includes a moon pool a la: this xkcd.
