From what I can find online[1,2], for a dual-income family earning 250k CAD/ 250k USD, tax in BC Canada[1,2] is 33% Federal + 16.80 % State = 49.8%. For California it is 24% Federa…

A preprint of the paper can be found on ArXiv here https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.02047

I agree with you. Though I do think that this is not an unsolvable problem with the right incentives. As I noted, the people at company X might be the best people at heart, but the…

>Relativistic effects weren't known to be reality at the time this theory was proposed. Umnn, Michelson–Morley and Maxwell equations were enough experimental evidence before Einste…

Take this comment as what I think 5th amendment should imply, not how it is currently applied by the courts. The concept of forgone conclusion is very weird. Imagine that I tell so…

That seems a bit too much storage, considering that Seagate only shipped around ~ 250 Exabytes worth of HDD in 2015[1]. Being extremely generous for world supply of Hard drive, we …

The authority asserted by President Trump in the executive order does not arise from the TTPA. It derives from INA (viz. 212(f) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) ). The fact that this o…

It definitely will (refuse orders), especially if Trump gives an at-face unconstitutional order (say shooting the protesters at Dakota pipeline). In normal times, the Congress will…

> User space software stack is not aware of it, the frameworks know only of scale 1, 2 and 3 (on iOS). Nothing between it. That's why it is integer scaling. Well whatever the case …

I wouldn't be so worried yet. Verlinde's theory is quite fresh and it will take time to conclusively rule out Standard Cosmological model. As of yet, no one has properly worked out…

The efficiency is around 4%, as in Figure 2 from the paper. SFE is solar-to-fuel efficiency. From the paper, " We also calculated the solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency (SFE) for …

This isn't really a wrong picture to imagine. In a way, this is what the experiments are trying to measure. You have a mirror and a laser at two points of your lattice (the space i…

Thanks. So only recourse for highly resourced adversary will be to decode key via hardware imaging (not sure if any research has been done on this), and after that they will still …

Wouldn't Apple (or the manufacturer) know the key of the security enclave?

Well at least they lost this case. Good common sense showed by the Jury. http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=84aea8bb-af1b-...

Canadian federal government has much more power than US feds can ever imagine to have. The criminal law is entirely up to the Canadian Parliament, and this is highly unlikely to ev…

While the magic number might take some time to arrive at, nothing stops California to run its own system of federalization inside the state if they think they are too big to manage…

Arguments like these assume that the company is already operating at maximum capacity, and can produce no more profit. It is entirely possible that robotics can produce more profit…

$745 for a traffic ticket sounds a bit too much. Punishment for any crime should be proportional to the crime committed. I don't think anyone is asking for no punishment for violat…

Well, the state is church and church is state in UK, so there is no surprise people want to control what Anglican church does or does not in UK. The sovereign is also the defender …

Judges in any of those state, bound by the Supremacy clause, will have to throw out those cases following Lawrence v Texas. If they won't do it, a federal court will be glad to do …
