The article covered CBDC is about two sentences and then moved on about regulating bitcoin for the rest of the article. Two separate topics, amd the title isn't really at all what …

"Modern steel technology" is not what tanks boast as their primary defense these days. Armour technology uses reactive armour on top of steel armour, which can repel conventional e…

I tend to agree with him. It takes too long to tell that story. In a boardroom meeting type environment people don't have time or the attention span to settle in for story time. Yo…

Yeah probably tough and expensive to transition existing neighbourhoods to this model... but is abandoning the current infrastructure and starting fresh more expensive than maintai…

Sorry I thought it was fairly obvious we were only talking about suburbia because the article itself points out urban areas are funded just fine. Its suburbia where the cost/tax ra…

No. Re-read my comment. Suburban areas only. Try to keep up before you get all salty and make yourself look dumb.

I'm not a well expert, but from what I've read is that chemical runoff could get into shallow sandpoint wells, but if you drill a 200ft deep well, that water is millions of years o…

Forget the dirt road. Rural solutions for water/sewage/power work because their viability is not dependent on close geographic proximity. Its apparent that the urban solution being…

I'm not talking about everyone moving to the country. I'm talking about localizing power/sewer/water infrastructure in medium density areas like suburbs. If you read the article yo…

But its not the high density that's expensive (the downtown core is actually the profit areas), its the medium density with sprawling suburbs that is what us so expensive to mainta…

I'm not talking about everyone moving to the country, I'm talking about bringing localized infrastructure to suburban sprawl. I doubt that would work in high density urban areas, b…

Yeah that's what I'm wondering... could decentralised water/power/sewer distribution scale? Like maybe not EVERYBODY has their own well/septic, but maybe every 5 houses or whatever…

Why don't we just stop building all this infrastructure, and move to a micro-community or individual model? My parents' farm is on a well and septic, and a dirt road. Water purific…

Please read the second part of my comment before just repeating what you already said

Well not if you ask him as he would tell you his grades were highly correlated to his smoking habits. Obviously its a non scientific anecdote, but my point is I thought it was well…

Is this really all that groundbreaking? I had a teammate in highschool remark that you could pinpoint in his grades the times when he started/stopped smoking weed.

So I don't understand, any space farer who takes this route will be sued for patent infringement? Lol. I'm going to patent a driving route to Walmart. I'll be rich.

> We started putting armed police in schools to defend against school shootings. Not to intimidate students. Tell that to the 8yr old who had his elbows cuffed painfully behind his…

What does the NSA have to do with Canadian law? Last I checked we weren't the 51st state...

Evidence constructed in parallel is not admissible, therefore my point stands. So what's your point?

But they have to establish reasonable suspicion, wuch they also have to justify in court in order to investigate you further. They can't just say "he had a bad score, so I pulled h…

Maybe, but non-abstracted code is not DRY, becomes difficult to maintain, and is time consuming to write. So a good programmer will start to abstract those things, and at that poin…

So you just have one giant file full of unrelated procedural utility functions that you include to your new projects?

The justice system has built into it the requirement to justify allegations against you though. By design everything in the justice system is transparent or its not admissible. So …

"Crypto is not magic." "Don't roll your own crypto because its basically magic and you'll screw it up unless you're a cryptographer". Umm... ok...
