Warren Bill Would Overturn Supreme Court Decision Gutting Federal Agency Power.
  • No, republican fear mongering, and their refusal to recognize facts has all but murdered nuance. You can't have nuanced discussion because a significant portion of the populace have been delightfully gobbling up a buffet of lies. There is no nuance about reproductive healthcare when abortion is murder. There is no nuance about the electoral system when every election is rigged. There is no nuance about equality in law when the president is immune from all crimes. The Internet didn't destroy nuance, certain people have been throwing nuance out the window as fast as possible because an educated and empowered populace weakens their grip on the wheel of power.

  • Ohio GOP Senator Says 'Civil War' Needed If Trump Loses.
  • The most amazing thing about J6 is that they were all allowed to just go home.

    I still think the NG and DC Police should have surrounded the building and said "you have 5 minutes to come out and lay down, then we're going to come in and take you out."

    And then no one leaves until they are ID'd. None of this "4 years of trying to find these fucks."

  • An interesting sidenote...
  • That's why he could do things that are un-blockable. Like immediately adding 14 partisan judges to the SC. Then they are the majority that would determine the constitutionality of their own assignment.

    Or, he could direct the military to black bag 3 conservative judges. The body that would judge would favorable towards this.

  • How can everything be captured in simple data like people's exact voice noise?
  • It doesn't get encoded in to plaintext. First, the microphone picks up the sounds, and outputs values for frequencies and intensities. Recording software takes those values, and compresses them down into binary data. Then that binary data is saved onto storage. Depending on your storage, it's then stored magnetically (cassette, floppy, HDD) or as a "lockable" logic gate (USB, SSD) or as laser etched dots and dashes (CD/DVD)

    It's not getting turned in to rocks, it's getting written on media.

    Also, some number for scale...

    My computer has 3.5ghz processors. It can run 3.5 billion instructions every second. To put that in perspective, the smallest unit of time humans can perceive is ~13ms. That processor can run ~270,000 instructions in that time frame. Computers perform very simple tasks, extremely quickly, and it gives the impression of intelligence.

  • When did you (literally or figuratively) dodge a bullet?
  • Seemingly innocuous activity. I was changing the band on my watch.

    Watches have a little spring-loaded pin that goes through the band and in to the bezel. I had the spring compressed with some needle tweezers and I was removing the band when the tweezers slipped. One side of the pin was still seated in the bezel, but the other side was free, and pointed right at my face as I was leaning over this watch to work on it. The pin shot straight into my eyeball.

    Or at least it would have if my vision was better. It hit my glasses instead, with enough force to leave a dimple in the polycarb lense. Lesson learned, wear safety glasses when working on anything that could possibly get launched, sprayed or blown into your eyes.
