Who cares when it's the US. Laws only apply for the weak-handed. They controlled the Iraqi government anyway, and they were stealing all of its oil as they wished regardless. The r…

By the way, that summary only says "It provides the basis on which.. war reparations may be demanded". If anything I bet it sets out 'restrictions' on when countries can do that.

You telling me a country initiating a war has the right to then ask for reparations for the damages and destruction they caused on the country they initiated the war against? That'…

US is the same country that kills Iraqi civilians and requests money for the bullets from the Iraqi government that they control indirectly. US is an evil empire.

Big Data hasn't been about storage, I thought it was always about processing. Guy obviously knows his stuff but I got the impression he stressed more about storage and how that's c…

Yup, very irrational to label a state guilt-free for life because "democracy".

I think we are about to see a change in that. If a country like Niger can say f* off to US military presence in the country we're seeing a shift in world geopolitics.

Sure, but to be honest with my explanation I actually have a point with the distinction between fake and forged. Here is an excerpt: > A textbook definition of forgery is the makin…

1) Fake 2) Forged 3) Forged 4) Lie 5) Fake As you can probably tell, from my understanding (possibly wrong connection) I think of the word 'to forge' in the context of actually try…

Maybe because my first language isn't English but "forged" to me implies card would've been used for access, or at least attempted, and therefore I feel like the title is click-bai…

Is ANYONE surprised at all?!

We cannot (competently) make computers work like we want them to, so let's change our lives to adapt to computers instead.

He mentions that even when we consider something intuitive it's because we have actually learned it in one way or another. Key word is 'learn'. And answer to this "unintuitive" pro…

"If you’re willing to live your life for a short time the way most people won’t, you can live the rest of your life in a way most people can’t" Only if this was always true. You co…

Not knowing that IF it would indeed show up! Although the benefit here is that after the 45 hours they would know if it's ever coming back, as opposed to having to keep waiting.

Oh yes I did mean hours but incorrectly typed minutes. Corrected

So they essentially repaired 'hardware' from 22 light hours away, that's just insane! I love engineering.

What you're describing is the Get Things Done (GTD) method. Have you read the book from David Allen? With that note, I higly recommend the book to OP!

We need more influential people like Paul Graham to start speaking up against genocide.

Again, showing you don't know nothing!

As it happens quite often, you're mistaken about the apostasy part, don't know about the adultery one. Apostasy itself isn't punishable; it's when someone "deflects" to the enemy s…

There we go again, a western "civilised" citizen calling a sentence barbaric because it was passed by a nation they don't like. It's called justice dude. You seem to belittle 'corr…
