No they don't. I just checked three different bills in my pocket (a $1, a $10 and a $100) and none of them say this. They say "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private" but there is absolutely no reference to "the full faith and credit of the united states"
I'm pretty sure its treasury bonds that are "Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States". Dollars are backed essentially by what you can buy with them.
Or what if the window of time in which life can exist on a planet is so short compared to how long it takes for life to appear on that planet, that it is extremely unlikely for two planets to have life at the same time?
A lot of questions, and a lot of possible answers
Most people think of bitcoin as an investment, and a risky one at that. So they are taking their money out and putting it in safer places
... And that's the end of the article. I'm not saying the author is wrong or makes any dubious claims, but I really wish he would have explored his alternative more thoroughly. It's quite an easy assertion to make, that US military acquisitions are rife with inefficiencies, but solving that problem is much harder.
But we use CORBA a fair amount, kind of almost as an abstraction layer on top of QNX message passing.
As someone who uses #1 and #3 every day, I wonder what it is like coding in the 21st century :/
Could they? With appropriate legislation/government action, of course.
>..or give the money to someone else for a while so they can do something with it.
You are talking about forcing them to invest the money. And what happens if that person cannot pay back what was lent to them? If there were any available investments that were safe enough, the banks would be tripping over each other to make that investment, believe me. Hoarding money costs the bank money. Investing it is not only free, but it turns their money into more money. If you were to force them to make unsafe investments, then that risk is essentially passed onto the people who deposited their money in that bank, in the form of potentially not being able to withdraw their money.
I am quite a fan of Rust's solution, with Result<T> types and various macros/methods which can do the commmon stuff for you
>Conclusion >A routine (hot-to-) cold shower resulted in a statistical reduction of self-reported sickness absence but not illness days in adults without severe comorbidity.
I'm always a tad skeptical of self-reported data. In this case, seeing as the more objective measure shows a much smaller effect, I am inclined to think this is more a placebo effect than anything else.
Still, a placebo effect that makes you feel better seems like a good thing, so I might just start taking some cold showers now
Just send the voice data through a raspberry pi to a remote location and carry out the attack from there. You could send voice data through a TOR-like protocol or something to keep you anonymous, if that's important. You could maybe rig some explosives to go off if the FBI/FCC/FAA gain access to the attack point, to prevent them from recovering evidence.
Lot's of police/fire radio systems are similarly without authentication, so you could amplify the mayhem by doing the same thing to those frequencies.
It's one of the ways I think widely available & cheap renewable energy would help solve most of the worlds resource shortages
The point of end-to-end encryption is that this is not supposed to be true
I'll admit the only reason I've noticed the domain is my corporate IT seems to have all sites on weird TLDs blocked by default :/
Yes, look for cases where A is rewarded, but B is expected:
