Lovely! When will this roll out in the EU?

This thing is going to be absolutely encrusted with barnacles af some point. How cool is that?

Same here

You should read "the global minotaur" by yanis varoufakis. It explains exactly why this is the case. This is true only for the US and it is because other countries buy dollars in bulk to keep the dollar high because: 1) not keeping the dollar high will devalue their dollar reserves. 2) they need large reserves of dollars to be able to facilitate trade in dollar denominated resources like oil. 3) they buy us treasury bonds because this will raise the value of their dollars and because it ks historically a safe investment.

I think it is because ornamentation feels out of place quickly in a world where ornamentation is scarce. If there is ornamentation everywhere, the ornamentation is natural. Like in a church. In a church the plain post modern clean design would look out of place. It would be shouting for attention. In some European churches you see this happening. Where you have a modern glass or minimalist pulpit. It just looks so out of place.

I think many people dont understand this dynamic. It is about overal design. It is about attention attenuation. Its not that people think the lush baroque or a art deco designs are ugly as an individual piece. Its that they associate it with a certain aesthetic (that has also been butchered by tasteless people), then even when they see a beautiful piece of furniture or decoration. It seems out of place.

One of the problems of this article is that although many of these things are true, a lot of times you must play the cards you're dealt, cause not playing will be even worse. Its like in poker where you are playing one on one against a player with a substantially bigger stack and the blinds are just eating you up. In such situations, waiting for a better hand is a bad decision in many cases. Then when you lose because you bluffed and lost, you will blame yourself for this mistake, but actually it could just be the best chance you had. 6 more blinds would have destroyed you anyway. You thought you had a good enough hand and played it. You lost, but you still made the best decision. Life is like that. Another example: you are a 37 year oldwoman and you feel your fertility slip away. You take a man and make some children. The man turns out to be an idiot... Your lifes dreams destroyed by an asshole man and your childrens needs. But maybe this was the best you could do... Maybe not taking that choice at that moment would have left you childless and maybe you would have been very sad about that. Regretting not taking the chances. I know quite a few people that waited for the best partner to have children, but never had them. Now old, they feel it is their greatest regret.

Do you have a god alternative? I am interested.

QAnon is not really accepted.

Your link names them "adversaries". Its an official list of adversaries.

I will never say that the NATO is an innocent organisation; however, to say that the US/NATO is indirectly responsible is a stretch. It would imply that the US invading Mexico would be justified if they were to become allies with Russia. I would as strongly oppose that as well.

This is the answer to all the above. These shares give you a right to part of the profit, but cannot be sold.

Tell me how its fundamentally not this easy? Its just not really "easy" to write correct compliant code.

Waiting to see how people on HN interpret this.

@filigree: Depends on your disposition.

I mean, you are probably a very stable genius at the moment, but not everybody is and you might not be that for ever. Things can change. If your endocrine system gets a hit somewhere and you get hit by this kind of news. You probably will go into a bad place. I know someone who was severely dehydrated from a viral infection, got into a delirium, then had to recover for 6 years, and still is not the same now.

I think this is a great plot. However, to make it more interesting:

1) who or what controls the guillotine collars?

2) if you say something in an interview and your head doesnt leave your body. It must be true, right? RIGHT?!

3) at some point a few adversaries that are questioning the guillotine suddenly tell a lie or pass a bad law and get "Sepped" (the slang for head and body SEParation, i.e. your head gets chopped.).

4) going against the party is "objectively" a lie and all people who dont fall in line of "truth" get "Sepped"

5) a law gets passed where everybody wears a mandatory guillotine collar. "We are a Republic of truth! Do you have things to hide? Are you a liar? Then you must fear this law. Only the morally corrupt will fear this law! All true citizens of the Republic will welcome this law."

Come on. Anything bad.

The phone rings, your family just got crushed by a runaway truck.

The phone rings, the company you founded and spend every waking hour of the last four years has a hostile take-over. They are firing you and you find out that the structure of the shares is in such a way that you walk away with peanuts.

The phone rings, your mother is in de hospital, she will probably die before next dawn. You are six thousand miles away.

You know, the gnarly stuff of life.

Is this true tho?

It is sort of measurable. How many lines you output, how many bugs are in your code, how much time is spent fixing your bugs. Etc. I mean its far from perfect and leadership roles are harder to measure (but can be measured by how the people under them think about them). But still I get your point.

I am offended. How is this hippie? Hippie would be respecting solitude and trying to give everyone what they want. This is just some kind of neoliberal bullshit that fits the narrative of "leaders".

I dont know. There is definitely a flow of energy between the power line and the drone. But there is no closed circuit between them so there is no current flowing. I imagine there is a (slightly, almost not measureable) raised current in the powerline due to a lower resistance due to the parasitic voltage drop and phase shifting cause by the inductive load. So technically no current between the drone and the powerline. Although there is energy transfer. But there are probably lots of people here that understand the laws of electromagnetism a lot better than me.

I am probably being an idiot. I can imagine many carvings have been lost. Wiped away by grinding ice. Especially in northern europe. Is the neolithic after the iceages or during? I have only skimmed through he article so might have missed this being addressed.

Edited: nevermind. The neolithic is of course after the last Ice Age.

Had the exact same experience. Maybe someone can enlighten us with why this is -supposedly- such a revelatory book?

Former locksmith here. That is called "to flipper" a door. (Guess that is where the flipperzero name comes from)

However you can only flipper doors that are held closed by the latch bolt. If the lock deadbolt is engaged, you cannot flipper it, because the deadbolt will not budge when manipulated by a card or piece of plastic.

Technically a lock without an engaged deadbolt is not really "locked" but "closed". That being said, an unbelievable amount of people believe their doors are locked when in fact they are closed.

Its not a strong argument. Denying nature is what we do constantly. We teach our children to shit in a bowl that flushes water instead of shitting on the ground, we teach them to delay their gratification s, we tell them not to use violence, we teach them to ask for consent. All unnatural things to do. Are you saying these are not wise things to do?

Penis is definitely something else because it contains (almost) no muscles, while your other examples do (contain muscles).

I dont have any expertise either, but wouldnt it be more feasible to make a mobile factory that can be built on site? Power shouldnt be a problem, a huge cable needs to be laid anyway. Just turn it around after the job is done. Just have a traveling circus with a large construction tent. Trailers that connect to each other etc. Sound more feasible than a plane to be honest.

From Wikipedia: The first recorded use of the word paprika in English is from 1831.[13] The word derives from the Hungarian word paprika,[14] which derives from the Serbo-Croatian word paprika, which is a diminutive of papar,[citation needed] which in turn was derived from the Latin piper or modern Greek piperi, ultimately from Sanskrit pippalī.[15] Paprika and similar words, including peperke, piperke, and paparka, are used in various languages for bell peppers.[6]: 5, 73

What kind of companies or money making endeavours would allow for such exploratory behavior?

This is in the correct ballpark. But 0.9c is crazy fast. [Expanse spoiler alert]

I love how they use this mechanic for storytelling in "The Expanse". The rebels of the belt threaten earth by slinging rocks at it at really high speed. Seems a very realistic way of interplanetary war. Why not bend some fast moving rocks to your enemy?

This fentanyl is produced in china. It comes from factories producing it in large quantities, then smuggled to Mexico and into the us.
