IRS? Yes. I'm OK with abolishing the others too. Volunteer (only) fire departments can stay.

Not only are they completely unnecessary, but more importantly many of your so-called "limits on freedom" are blatantly unconstitutional and illegal.

Convinced eh? Sounds like baseless supposition to me.

Same...was just browsing stack overflow for positive mod, so I got "return (i % n + n) % n;" heh

That's literally not a discount though.

This is the most disingenuous argument I have ever heard.

This sounds extremely regressive. Basically rich developers will all be getting a huge property tax break by not having to pay taxes on the value of the land/building improvements, while small businesses and homeowners who can not affo

Ever hear of electric heating? How on earth would you expect solar or wind to be used for heating. It's far from the cheapest option currently, but you're not getting rid of fossil fuels without electric heat.

I do sometimes work nights, but not in a factory. But your missing the point, there are lots of industrial processes that you don't just turn off for 12 hours because the electricity is not there or more expensive. Spooling them back u

Out of curiosity, what turns you off about Amazon?

I don't think the fact that it can be enabled/disabled by environmental variable indicates malicious intent. It could be as simple as that Intel doesn't care to test there compiler optimizations on competitors' CPU'

I would hardly call the FDP libertarian.

It's ok...we're over provisioned on solar generation capacity. So it doesn't matter that it is night :P.

Yeah, its pretty unrealistic to imagine any zero-Carbon approach which excludes nuclear. But the greens would rather cover their eye/hears about that, and imagine that it can all be done with wind and solar (in northern europe of all p

Its called hyperbole. Seriously HN can be so pedantic sometimes.

Never underestimate the power of print statements for debugging, that being said, the gdb-based "poor man's profiler" has also been a life saver.

You're right, some random guy on the internet definitely knows better than the first hand witnesses and U.S. Navy! Actually, it was probably swamp gas. Case closed.

There are plenty of "mundane" explanation for the motion of the object to be real as well, and not just camera glare. No need to invoke aliens. For example, this video shows SDI technology from the 80s: https://www.yout

Errmm...The Cyberiad certainly has plenty of 'sexual' content, but it may be considered too bizarre or disturbing for a mainstream audience, especially the story of the HPLDs.

Yes, I too was surprised to hear Adams had not read the Cyberiad. The absurdist humor is very similar.

I suppose the radar signature was camera "glare" too, smh. This is pretty weak.

Definitely in uncanny valley territory with this one.

Came here to say this, anyone still using autohell in 2022 either is a stubborn grey beard or is seriously masochistic. Building static or shared libs/programs with CMake is treated simply as an option when calling the linker. I person

By trust-less I am referring to a trusted 3rd party (e.g bank or escrow service) needed to mediate the transaction between the two parties. Not necessarily a lack of trust between the two parties themselves (obviously it would be foolish to

I'm not sure how you can say it is de facto centralized. You may have had a decent argument as recently as last summer when most of the mining was done in China. However, we just watched them ban mining there completely, and the networ

Sure, I'd agree commodity money is preferable (and certainly trustless in p2p transactions), and in many ways better than blockchain. I just don't see how to map that paradigm onto a world where people who have never met each othe

> For people in countries with a high level of rule-of-law, and a stable financial system, I’d argue that this works reasonably well. I agree, but that's not always obvious at first glance. For example, I would've said Canada q

It's amazing to watch people who have never really thought about this before realize the entire banking system is built upon a handful of centralized, permissioned databases which can pretty much be turned on/off at will for certa

Heh...the wiki article says this bill abolishes the offense of blasphemy, while also simultaneously instituting a secular version of the exact same crime. Quite the feat if you think about it.
