  2. Re:Critical look at bullshit on University of Toronto: Anti-vaccine Homeopathy Course Is Fine · · Score: 1

    It's pretty clear from the syllabus that it's not a good course.

    Does that mean that for women in computer science, the chance of marrying someone in computer science is up >75%?

  4. Re:WHAT radioactive materials? on Boeing Patents an Engine Run By Laser-Generated Fusion Explosions · · Score: 1

    I was referring to the neutrons from the DT reaction.

    Don't worry about it; the patent will expire by the time a working model is built.

  6. Re:WHAT radioactive materials? on Boeing Patents an Engine Run By Laser-Generated Fusion Explosions · · Score: 1

    Tritium is radioactive, and the neutrons that are produced will react with various elements to create radioactive isotopes.
    Uranium is also radioactive

  7. cost analysis on Analysis: Iran's Nuclear Program Has Been an Astronomical Waste · · Score: 1

    The cost analysis assumes that the sanctions would stop if Iran stopped their nuclear program. Would it? Or would US push for more concessions?

  8. Re:Nope! on Analysis: Iran's Nuclear Program Has Been an Astronomical Waste · · Score: 1

    I'd say it has everything to do with Israel. Iran is unwilling to recognize Israel, while Saudi Arabia doesn't care. That's a lot more important than IS (which Iran is fighting) and certainly more important the democracy.

    USAF should start hiring trolling kiddies from online games. No conscience issues there.

    The question is not, does it happen (we all know it does), but should it happen, and should we be quiet about it.

  12. very unimpressed on 3D Printed Supercar Chassis Unveiled · · Score: 2

    All the engineering in a car isn't just to make something that is light and moves fast. Slap a rocket on a small frame and you can go fast. It is a tradeoff between performance, safety, reliability, cost, features, efficiency, legality, and design. This thing looks like something that some mech-E students threw together as a senior project, not an actual thing that people could use. They make a big deal out of using 3D printed parts, but then they come up with a design that doesn't take advantage of any of the features of 3D printing, like the ability to make complex internal honeycombed shapes.

  14. Google is lying on YouTube Algorithm Can Decide Your Channel URL Now Belongs To Someone Else · · Score: 1

    Some algorithm reassigned the url and they can't change it? Sounds like bullshit. Google reassigned it for a reason... perhaps Lush Cosmetics paid them or something.

    What are you talking about? The whole point of money in elections is to pay the media to advertize for you. The media don't pick the winner. They sell the winner.

    But how will people strategically vote if they don't know what other people are voting for?

  17. Re: Liberty on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say that the civil rights acts are about increasing freedom, but rather increasing equality and justice. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice some freedom to increase equality and justice. This is a good thing, but let's not contort the term freedom too much.

  18. Re:Liberty on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 1

    _Every_ action impinges upon the freedom of others. The question is, how much is allowable?. And it's not a black and white question.

  19. Re:Why not? It's free on FCC Votes To Subsidize Broadband Connections For Low-Income Households · · Score: 1

    While I'm all in favor for getting people to work to support themselves, Republicans have been working hard to make it not worth it to work, by killing minimum wage increases, encouraging outsourcing, and generally constructing a rent economy where people make (far!) more money by owning things than by doing actual work.

  24. Re:I do not consent on FDA Bans Trans Fat · · Score: 1

    The difference between partially hydrogenated oil and your other examples (with the possible exception of fast food) is that it is basically masquerading as food, which is supposed to be good for you. Everybody knows that cigarettes are bad for you (thanks to govt. efforts), so you can blame it on a smoker's poor decision making to smoke. Putting partially hydrogenated oil in food and marketing it as food is more akin to poisoning people, since the final product looks like food and is passed off as food. The consumer still bears some blame, since such products are usually labeled, but even then some products are not fully labeled (a piece of bread from a bakery, etc) and some labels are outright disingenuous (0g trans fat).

    If you wanna go all out free market liassez faire shut down the FDA, are you prepared to deal with straight up poisoned food in the market. Because that's what we are talking about here. Trans fat = poison, literally. Let's just put some hexane in this oil since it's cheaper to extract. Also, let's get rid of required labeling. Caveat emptor.
