I think the first use of that sound was in War Of The Worlds in 1953, they didn't even had lasers at the time :) I couldn't find any explanation, how they arrived at the sound (it's supposedly just electric guitar + reverberation).

Actually, it looks like opioids are not associated with vehicle accidents

I don't think the threat level changed greatly, the most likely scenario is a mistake launch and crazy officer. Do you know Russia has a system of automatic retaliation attack?

As for the war threat - both sides had their hotheads during the Cold War, but in the end they were overruled.

Even under general anesthesia some patients feel the pain

Russia and US have 1600 deployed warheads each, ready to fly any minute. I don't understand why most people don't consider this as threat. We are living with a gun to our heads.

Maybe it depends on the city, but often it's a municipal government granted monopoly. E.g. in San Francisco it's Recology.

I bet, each city, that enforces waste sorting, has a monopoly.

I can get the car picked-up for repair if I want to. Where can I subscribe for a service "picking up unsorted garbage"? The problem is that garbage collectors are granted monopoly and use it to extract free labor from customers.

Speed of light affects latency, not throughput. TCP works bad with large delays, that's why it's recommended to use several TCP connections to saturate the link.

How would you answer the same question from a vegetarian? We eat meat for "fun" too, though we would be able to survive on plants.

This logic makes any birth unethical too. You are just confining your children to a prison of very large generation ship Earth, with the aim to "procreate in order to produce more prisoners like themselves".

Do you realize that some people feel stress when someone comes unannounced? Opt-in interaction like in your startup is so much better!

Race to the bottom is what makes a progress.

Would you prefer to work a month to be able to afford a shirt, like it was just a few centuries before? Or do you prefer when "race to the bottom" made the cost of the same shirt into a few hours of work?

Inflation adjusted rent of 60k a year is 1.5-2 million of capital, depending on the risk you are willing to take.

If it's a response to LazyFP bug, then it's under embargo, you can't have a test yet.

I have the same experience with Instagram, but it's still worse, than in older days, because there is no desktop client. Discussing anything deep is practically impossible.

It's not a religion, it's an ethical system. I think ethical system is only a subset of religion.

The difference is that your credit money cannot be mixed with regular money. They are mixed in the case of fractional reserve.

XPS 15 has the keyboard without numpad.

I think the idea that we all share the same consciousness, but different memories, is called "open individualism" in philosophy
