If I can perceive photons bouncing off of you in public with my eyes, why can't I capture an approximate record of the arrangement of those photons in a digital format?
In the former, I'm storing it in analog form in my mind. In the latter, I'm storing it in digital form on silicon.
If you really don't want to be seen, then don't go in public?
That's no less ridiculous. If it's a public object, I should always be able to take a picture of it and profit off of it. Doesn't matter if I'm a little guy or Getty Images.
To aggressively build housing. But this requires local politics to cordially ignore the calls to keep the status-quo. In many places, it isn't possible. :/
Unfortunately, anyone who points this out is automatically stamped as an "anti-semite". It is a brilliantly effective way to black-hole common discourse in the social media era.
I always wonder about the latency with satellite internet. A friend tried HughesNet one time. I tried to tell him, "I hope you don't care about online gaming..." Sure enough, the link had good bandwidth, but horrid latency. A TCP connection would take >2 seconds to establish.
My experience in college was that these simply apply a "chilling effect" to any and all discourse. I tended to stay more silent, lest I find retribution for voicing my opinions. I think that is pretty sad. But I guess for its proponents, this is the intended effect.
This is a crucial point. Vendors these days (at least the good ones) properly package their goods with vapor barrier vacuum-sealed bags. Even better, some use Mylar bags which provide a nice metallic aluminum barrier.
You could hold a Mylar bag of weed up to a well-trained drug dog, and it would not trigger. (Unless commanded to falsely by the officer, of course :)
I guess for me that is not clear-cut. Rapes still occur pretty often, and many/most sadly aren't reported. (Legalizing prostitution could reduce them?)
For every traffic violation that is caught, a high multiple more fly by. (Speeding, for example).
The demand for murder is so low that it's hard for me to conceptualize as a market.
Why do these people think censorship works? The more you don't want me to see it, the harder I will try to see it. I think this is pretty universal human nature. Instead let's use this as a learning opportunity.
Definitely agree. It's easy for people to mix them up but we need to be clear.
I absolutely loooove ZoL and run it on all cluster nodes. Proxmox works beautifully with it. I really hope ZFS for Linux and the kernel can get along, because ZoL greatly enriches Linux usability in storage needs.
Oh yeah, I firmly believe in "your body, take what you want". Just that I want to take what I want, not what I get hooked on from pharmaceutical solutions.
For those people, these drugs are fantastic! I should have conditioned my comment to exclude those people.
EDIT: I should add, if I got diabetes and had to take insulin, I would be pissed to the point that I'd make it my sole goal in life to find a way to live without having to take insulin.
To me, it is absolutely infuriating that I can be required to take a drug just to live. I fully understand this stuff works great for people - by all means use them! For me? I'd rather get sick and fail than live with it forever.
(Yes, I'm irrational, excessively autistically stubborn, and all the other negative things you're thinking about me. :)
I think the key may be to very, very slowly wean yourself off. You might have to get pretty radical, like 1mg reduction per week. (That's ~2 year taper - obviously an excessive example but these drugs are weird.)
