  1. It's the right to freedom of speech from Government interference and there are limits even then.
  2. It was one of many compromises. Some wanted President chosen via a more Parliament style system, others wanted a popular vote. United is meant more in the sense that the individual States each with their own Constitution and everything, are all in a Union together.
  3. Cuts each slice in two, takes 5 sixths of the pizza for services rendered. I think of them in more algebraic terms. The numerator and denominator are together expressing a relationship, rather than being fully defined themselves.
  4. Yes, strictly speaking the popular vote doesn't count, except for as it applies to faithless electors in the electoral college. Law varies by State in regards https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector
  5. Really only needs to write equivalent bit of code now, and solve math problem that way. Typically use it more for open-ended subject exploration myself though.
  6. Weird. I use it, haven't seen such issues. Maybe try clearing the cache or refreshing the page? They periodically role out new versions so that may have caused some trouble. Would also try with another browser.
  7. For person onboard the ship, the distance between them and their destination is also shortened due to length contraction.
  8. Milton passed by with no major issues. Said something about going to get his stapler back.

    1. TheVat

      Stephen Root must be proud.  

  9. Expansion of spacetime will limit things. Anywhere can be arbitrarily close, but still remain out of reach.

    price-gouging

    Law varies by State. https://www.findlaw.com/consumer/consumer-transactions/price-gouging-laws-by-state.html Governments generally come down hard on price gouging. Typically requires there to be a declared disaster to qualify though.
  11. Just random. Given infinite time a program that randomly prints out one letter at a time will do the same. Note that it'll be a Library of Babel situation. There's likely, though not guaranteed, to be lot of nonsense and partial texts produced as well.
  12. @joigus @Ghideon Thanks guys! This will work great
  13. {(1,1), (2,0.1), (3,0.1), (4,0.01), (5,0.01)} assuming that this pattern continues on forever?
  14. Could perhaps expand upon Canada's existing program for biometrics collection. Am guessing having the same problem as everyone of processing asylum requests. Will end up with an obvious problem if fewer are being processed than are arriving. Really be better to restrict initial benefits than for governments to interfere with free market labor flows. Invisible Hand will always act to counter anything they attempt.
  15. Even the monkeys and alligators know better than to mess with a swamp rabbit. Only giant anacondas are brave enough and even then only after the swamp rabbit dies.
  16. Different parameters are sent to the computer. It'll also be in a different physical port.
  17. May just be using an offscreen energy source to move water(vacuum/pump), with the barrel acting as a reservoir. Do you have a wet/dry vac you could use? If your cistern can be sealed, could alternatively force air inside and force water out that way.
  18. Not the same price everywhere. More due to a region's combination of infrastructure, international energy market and local economy.
  19. Population density changes and resource distribution are understandable concerns, but the global population growth rate is actually reducing. We're a pretty frivolous species. I'm expecting a slew of colonies founded by different entities for varying reasons. Most colonies won't take long to construct once the infrastructure and automation is developed. Terraforming is probably a pipedream, but habitats could still offer plenty for people. Extraterrestrial environments pose issues for developing embryos that artificial wombs could help us overcome. We're likely to see the technology used in a few different ways though.
  20. Majority of the resources necessary for a colony are available. Likely be transported as gametes. Raising the first few generations would be interesting though. Possibly require robotic assistance depending on the numbers. Lot will depend on our future capabilities and what we're trying to accomplish. Genetic bottlenecks and population growth may not even be an issue.

    Political Humor

    To be fair, seemed reasonable to believe that elections would come shortly after the main import checks were(finally) started.
  22. Normally handled via Mac addresses for device communication purposes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address
  23. Do you think an entirely artificial womb could possibly work instead?
  24. Most of the current LLMs are not researching anything they write.
