As thee declared so, it must be...

The 97% claim is bullshit: https://www.google.com.tw/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/alexeps...

I do believe that there is man made climate change, however, but this meme has to end.

While Gentoo supports systemd, by default it will still use init scripts.

I was thinking of another strategy could be a git plugin that had a config file of salted hashed secrets. If someone tried to commit something with a secret, it could then stop it before it was leaked.

Of course, you'd need to collect all the secrets beforehand, but if you are willing to do that, it would seem to be a better solution.

I was thinking this and later I fell asleep and had this dream, where my girlfriend kept saying, "Hey... Hey... Hey..." over and over again. I woke up and it turns out there was a bird chirping every few seconds at the same interval.

Time is strange, though. I saw a star trek episode recently where there was time dilation on this particular planet. They were trying to beam out the occupants. It got me thinking, if I could beam out to a spaceship where, say every second on the spaceship was a year on planet earth, would I do it? I have this vague feeling of regret, like I'm missing all those moments on between on Earth while I'm there. I suppose I'd experience the same number of moments, spread out as they were, though.

There is no jury in family court, and as the article shows, child support wasn't waived. It's always justified by whatever is "in the best interest of the chilllldrrreeeenn"

If most people ends up investing in strictly index funds, it would end up badly foe them but I don't see it by itself causing a destabilization. Just a lot of people making sub market profits. It would take a large amount of people doing fad based investing and switching all at once cause destabilization, such as what happened during the dot com bubble and the housing bubble.

If investing decisions get slower in general, then I think it would be a good thing. The number of company decisions made only for only the next quarter rather than long term profitability would be much less if it took time for people to switch the companies they invest in rather than doing so instantly, which would in turn make a more efficient and stable market.

The people shorting Twitter got together to buy a new yacht? Cool!

I don't follow.

You've heard the song, "Dude looks like a lady", right? It would make the title a lot less impactful if this was generally accepted.

In other words, religion trumps modern medicine for mental illness. I agree, but I don't see this tribe's beliefs having a special status or better probability of success above any other religion.

So? Human beings have the ability to make a huge impact on the environment, and therefore the value assigned by people to various outcomes and tradeoffs does matter.

In both cases, the planet would carry on. It depends on your perspective as to which matters more, human intelligence and knowledge, or nature. I personally believe the former is more important than the latter, although that doesn't mean I don't value the latter as well.

You shouldn't care about magic internet points. I wish I would have been able to read your comment.

How about open a wormhole in space time to travel back in time and fix things in the past? Both have about the same probability of happening.

This isn't a scam. The author admits they had an actual reason for denying him. It was a mistake in his record and they charged an exorbitant processing fee, but there is nothing that shows they acted in bad faith.

> Were you forced into having that child in the first place?

The victim of a rape had to play child support. So, he was forced into having a child.

In general, some men are forced into having children by women who lie about taking birth control, or even by collecting semen by used condoms.

By complaining about WaPo, et al, you are guilty of "whataboutism" yourself.

Is the standard so low that we can't even mention that a non profit(?) organization devoted to releasing leaks of wrongdoing shouldn't be blatantly partisan?

Edit: I misread the last part of your comment about "whataboutism". Yet my question still applies, isn't it?

For people paying alimony and child support, you must work or go to jail. And buying cheap stuff goes along with that.

Sounds like taking a single step into the jungle would now be very dangerous.

Oh, I'll get right on that, then!

Right after I invent cold fusion and stop sarcasm on the internet! (Besides which, I do not believe anyone can know why secretive agencies in governments assassinate people, if you had been reading...)

There are some things which fighting against is not worth the effort. Concentrating on things which can create significant positive change is much more fruitful.

You can't stop them, so any argument of whether it's right or not is mute.

> Has he, for example, stopped assassinating random foreigners based on often iffy metadata?

There is no way you or anyone else besides those within the agencies themselves would be able to qualify on what data and for what reasons the US assassinates anybody.

Our footprint is big enough without us burying plastic pipes underground. We really shouldn't be expanding the amount of artifacts humankind will leave in this world for those in the future to find and click their tongues at.

It's not cruel to think of other people's lives besides of this broken individual. I'm not suggesting taking the money and putting it in my pocket, just distributing it more rationally, so it can do the most good.

Being punished shouldn't change one's views. One's behavior, though, usually does change.

Besides which, I don't hold magic internet points to have very much value. Neither should you (I assume you do, since you imply losing "karma" is punishment.)

Nothing is perfect. Better let a few fall than many suffer. I don't think letting this man get this way is a success for our society in preventing suffering.

Regardless if the ethereum language is turing complete or not, you can still formally verify individual contracts. You can't determine whether every contract will halt or not, but that is a separate issue. The DAO contract should have been formally verified, and this was an oversight of the creators and as well as the participants to not demand this.

Also, the DAO is separate from Ethereum. It's a contract running on ethereum, not ethereum itself.

You are being very hyperbolic with your criticism.

As I said in the other thread, I think that family should play a bigger role in charity of a relative. If the person receiving care has to face those giving it, it'd be better for both parties.

In countries in Asia, there is a much lower social safety net, but IMO family, friends, and neighbors have a far greater bond then they do in the USA (naming the two places I have experience with).

If I could choose I'd have a charity system which is paid for in greater proportion by the people related to the beneficiary than everyone else. Your brother can't find a job? We tax you more to pay for him.

Although, I don't think society would accept this idea.
