Hmm, I thought the source code to this application would be pretty much the most boring thing in the world that any CS minor could cobble together, but perhaps this code is a lot more interesting than I thought.
Just because it costs money to maintain doesn't mean it should charge users. The highways aren't cheap to maintain, but it doesn't mean they should all be toll roads.
Well, we could, in fact, measure temperature in joules, if we set Boltzmann's constant to 1. Of course, we would have to work with rather small prefixes, like yoctojoules. A better solution might be come up with a new temperature unit equal to exactly 10^-23 joules. This would "metrify" temperature units relative to the other units.
This really doesn't say much about junk food, in particular. Obviously, being awake takes more energy than being asleep, so it makes sense that they want more food. "The study also did not compare the participants’ responses to healthy food."
"interests of the state" is some coded language for interests of certain wealthy people in power. In a democracy, the interests of the state are the interests of the people.
It's already been a no-brainer for a house owner to install solar panels, assuming the house gets sun. The problem is that many people don't own houses. And there's no incentive for a rentier to install solar panels since they don't pay the electricity costs. And no incentive for a renter to install panels in a place they are going to leave in a few years.
Also, in high growth areas like Austin, houses usually get torn down for condos and apartments, so it probably doesn't make sense to put in lasting improvements there either.
Well, if we don't limit it to a small agreed-upon list of crippling diseases, then some parents may choose some whimsical or downright harmful changes. Maybe the parents would prefer a dumb child, or an intersex child, or one with no hair. Just look at what happened to dogs. We have dogs that can't breathe properly because someone thought it was cute to have a smashed in nose.
What is the difference between a Chinese company and an American company that manufactures in China? It seems like either can have a Chinese backdoor. But I suppose it's easier for the NSA to put a backdoor into an American company's product.
Unless there's some crazy positive feedback dynamics going on, moderately hotter temperature isn't gonna destroy civilization. Some coastal cities will have to be abandoned, and some farm schedules will have to be reworked. Bangladesh will go the way of Atlantis, but humanity will survive.

Just get rid of the income tax. All we need is a tax on land and certain other types of property, and fines for pollution.
They will lobby for laws to prevent laws that require labeling.
I think they just feed farmed fish wild caught fish, so the mercury is still there. There might be a difference in amount.
Well, that 20 cents can come out to more than 5% for a $4 purchase.
What do you need cash for in urban areas other than paying your dealer and buying something from someone you found on craigslist?
I prefer speedcrunch. https://speedcrunch.org/

Hmm, usually this sort of thing is covered with warning labels--though I suppose most thieves are too dumb to know what they mean.
I wonder what Rober would have done if they had kept it. He has their address. Cops won't do anything.

Text messages are way easier to store and process than audio.
I don't understand why a Chinese person is held to US sanctions against Iran.
"interests of the state" is some coded language for interests of certain wealthy people in power. In a democracy, the interests of the state are the interests of the people.
In US it is the other way around. The US officials have to have corporate people in the council, and they have the ultimate decision authority.

Surely we will be able to engineer new corn that will grow in slightly warmer temperatures.
If the user wants to use a particular web program that messes with the user's files, then they can install a plugin from the webpage.
Gold is beautiful. Yes, that is a valuable attribute.

Of course. But then you have to ask yourself, is it reasonable to believe in it?
I'm pretty sure believers think of God as present at all times, including the beginning and the end.
