"Liberal democracy" isn't the same as "democracy" dumb-dumb. It refers specifically to a democracy where the rights and freedoms of its citizens are structurally protected.
Eh, more like pork can benefit the country, in addition to the representative's district, or it can hurt the country and benefit the rep. And our country will get outraged about both, use that to slash the former, and continue the latter unabated.
One of the problems the US constitution failed to address structurally was a process for creating a budget that limits corruption through checks and balances. Other modern liberal democracies with more recent constitutions don't have this problem to the same extent.
Yeah, but if you default to Internet purchasing, and everyone else does too, the stores can't keep their doors open in driving distance, so that option falls of the table. Tragedy of the commons, my friend.
I think the reality is that hobbyist electronics can all come from hyperspecialist stores on the internet. That's where hobbyists of all sorts turn for things these days.
The patriot act's language always targeted everyone.
the cellphone owner is the only person who should have the option to "kill" the device.
Until some enterprising young hacker finds out the developer, paid too much for too little work, used the same packet with a obvious identifier for all phones, and you can start trolling people in very expensive ways.
No, it's what we get from the pro-bitcoin crowd. The people who think impossible-to-regulate transactions are a good idea happen to have a 100% overlap with the set of people who have a novice's understanding of economics, and apply that cudgel to all ideas.
A lot of times, at least according to the FBI(I know this is the UK, they're just relevant experts), the "drawings" are just photoshop filters on legitimate abuse, and anyone paying for/providing material support to the creator of those images are fostering an environment for more child abuse.
I'm not sure how often that's true, but I've also never heard the assertion meaningfully contested(maybe because researching child porn isn't the smartest idea)
I guess, but what they've got is smooth regions vs. rough regions. I can't imagine telling any better if the button press is good before I hit it. If I'm aiming for the center of a key on a keyboard and I feel that I hit an edge, does that tell me if I hit the right edge of the one I wanted or the right edge of the one to the left?
What makes a traditional keyboard work for me is that my fingers have resting places on the home row that gives me a physical sensation of where they SHOULD be. If I'm touching a touch screen, it's too late, I've hit the key already. What am I missing?
Having very high expectations for a kickstarter project, no matter how well financed, is setting yourself up for disappointment. In spite of all the corporate bullshit that gets rolled into the designs, major consoles have gone through multiple iterations in business practices that help encourage development for their consoles.
That's a praiseworthy sense of self-detachment in my book. On a rational level, I know I'm a brain influenced in some significant ways by the body that keeps it alive, but I can't help but think of my fingers, for example, as me.

Sorry, the world doesn't comply with your theories. Sorry, I really can't help you.

You would be wrong. If human stupidity were truly genetic, that would still be an easy answer that ignores things like herd immunity.

Fine, taking a karma hit to provide one curious person an answer, then:

Did you seriously miss all the people spamming comments about the replacement?
Forgive the lack of elaborate counterpoint here, but that point is fucking stupid, and intuitively so.

This isn't the thread for yet another angry take-down of neoliberalism. We're just discussing the overlap of the two audiences.

And just to make sure I'm covering my bases here: are a lot of people arrested for that?

Yes, I'm glad you agree.
Yeah, we're really enjoying that now conspicuously posting on slashdot between 9 and 5.
What the IEEE thinks will happen: gamifying work will make work better.
What will actually happen: gamifying work ruins games.

Maybe some games that rely on touch as a novel form of sensory input, but I can't think of a useful program I'd want this kind of feedback for.
Thanks for answering my question, and everyone elses' too. Also thanks for the wonderful music.

I think, if you recall, the lack of comprehension was the original point, in that you're constructing non-ideas out of your words.
Yeah, and here's where you sound crazy.
This is the part I was referring to:
"AI doesn't shirk when the mission is denial of civilian incursion."
It doesn't mean anything.
