If they are gonna burn religious books, why not include more of them? Burn bibles, qurans, vedas, tanakhs, etc. Make the event more inclusive :)
Engineering: It's not stupid if it works.
The patent story reveals a lot.

Donate to propublica.org - they produce a lot of great journalism.
What an appropriate homage - linking to one of markdown's originator's Wikipedia page using markdown.
"In 2002 Aaron Swartz created atx and referred to it as "the true structured text format". Gruber created the Markdown language in 2004, with Swartz acting as beta tester ... Markdown: Swartz was a major contributor to John Gruber's Markdown,[249][250] a lightweight markup language for generating HTML, and author of its html2text translator. The syntax for Markdown was influenced by Swartz's earlier atx language (2002)" from wikipedia
Well, the far right faction of Republicans did already side with Dems to oust the speaker.
Sounds dope. I wonder if it will bring more clarity or more puzzles. My bet is on the latter. Which is great.
My supply of popcorn is running low. It's a good problem to have :)
Proof of work "toll" for each request or session seems like a good option.
You can! And we do! In fact, then you can skip the whole fusion step, since the sun laser is already powered by fusion, and just collect the energy. I think that tech is called soul... Soul-Harp-N-L.
That would be an atypical rocket, but it checks out.
That's way off topic, though.
Exactly. Spreading and replicating like viruses across host bodies. And just like certain viruses, some can stay dormant for years, never fully going away - e.g. "The Game" (sorry not sorry). :p
Yes, but expecting corporations to do it on their own is silly. They operate in a competitive environment so game theory should tell us what's going to usually happen. The laws and regulations exist, and a lot more are needed, but it's also not as simple because costs of enforcement also range from inexpensive to infeasible. In the end, it's people making self-interested decisions, whether on behalf of themselves or on behalf of corporations. I don't know of any easy solutions - my feeling is that those don't exist - so the best bet is to steer society towards better and more effective politics. More distributed and less concentrated power structures, checks and balances, enforcement, novel, effective, and efficient systems through science based analysis, as well as lots of trials and errors and fast iterative improvements based on rapid feedback loops. In short, the world nowadays moves faster than the current government systems and it's a losing battle until governing adaptability can increase in speed.
Steamer :)
