"Bloody and brutal coup"... oh the hiperbole.

Sincerely, it was kind of funny, specially taking into account the dark mood that sets in in the beginning of the article.

It might seem far fetched right at the moment but some thinkers and economists are already seeing a guaranteed basic income for EU countries during the next decades which in time should extend to the rest of the 1st world countries. I know

I wonder if there is any project starting to re-write Emacs according to modern practices like we now have NeoVIM for VIM. I really like editing in VIM but I moved to Emacs using Spacemacs to try and get the best of both worlds (org mode fo

You are not very good in exponential growth. Since non Muslims in France have a natality rate of 1.70 per woman (in fact it's lower you can see why in the link) and Muslim a rate of 3 . And since there is a 0.1% of total French populat

Not in the future no. If the Islamic population in France becomes the majority, and that's a reasonable possibility during this century, then it's perfectly acceptable that part of the population elects a radical islamic leader fo

Many people think that but archeological evidence says the contrary. Caries only started showing up in humans 3000-4000 years ago when we started doing agriculture and eating cereals. Before that we practically didn't had caries (just

My thoughts exactly. I'm in my 30's, I've never had dental problems and every time I go to a dentist and he suggests to remove my wisdom teeth, I change to another dentist. These teeth exist for a reason, and mine - luckily -

> This is incorrect. The blockchain requires miners to establish an unbiased ledger history. The difficulty parameter is tweaked so that the whole system can be future proofed against an adversary creating a convincing blockchain history

HTTPS encryption doesn't get more difficult to compute as time goes by. HTTPS is the means to an end, bitcoin is just wasting resources. If the point was just to maintain the blockchain integrity there would be no need to make its diff

Well, it still doesn't make it "good design".

Good design: Then we are taken to a page with a banner so big that you have to realize that you need to scroll way past the bottom of the screen to actually reach the content.

I believe the question of legality when carrying a concealed weapon is an all different matter. The reason you cannot make ilegal is that some people (read NRA loonies) keep trying to make look as carrying a concealed weapon is a constituti

If it's really that way then you wouldn't oppose that much for a part of it to be taken away from you. After all, it doesn't have "any real value".

What people earn depend on the society they live in, it's not morally acceptable and as such shouldn't it also be legally acceptable to keep it all to yourself when you rely on what others built and in the education and infrastruc

Yes, there the words of Thomas Jefferson put it quite explicitly: You have the right to have arms within your own house in order to potentially use it in a rebellion against an autocratic state in case it arrises. Nowhere it gives you the r

I believe it doesn't have too, it can work in a way similar to optimus + prime on the Linux using the GPU.

I wonder is this opens the door to PCI passthrough in order for the guest system to directly access the GPU. That is the turning point in all this. No more bootcamp to windows to play games and no more hassle configuring CUDA in OSX, you ca

Not so well. There are plenty of problems in the term and the community kind of avoids fixing/ta;king about them. I had some trouble with it: things that only work with a fringe, the theme colors all mixed up, even putting a sensible l

I'm sorry, but it's your level of understanding in cosmology and physics that is the problem here. 1 - I'm not claiming that the standard model is the ultimate mode. I'm just claiming that following the assumption of t

If the God is outside the physical bounds of the Universe then he cannot interact with the Universe. From the moment the God can exert some change or even just observe parts of the universe then he must be within the physical bounds of the

TL;DR: It's a logic truth, if you accept the Big Bang theory, then God couldn't exist before the beginning of the universe. I think you didn't understand the premise here. The premise is: "The Universe started in the Big
