Contracts which violate the law are invalid, so it may well be that you can posit a contract with a DRO that does not, in fact, enable the use of force. I am not Anarchist Caveman Lawyer. Tort bad. Mutuality good.

Be open and honest with her, and come to mutual agreement on what steps to take to assure her you are much more cautious and risk-aware now than you ever were before. STD tests aren't expensive. To put things in perspective, I'm sure no teenager has ever done anything risky that they knew was risky but might be fun before, so you are breaking new ground here. To work on the guilt, there is always the recommended path of therapy. Self-knowledge puts the axe to anxiety.

Geesh, I guess I'm in trouble. In 1560, my ancestor Andrew Mullica renamed himself Andrew Poulson (literally Pal Mullica's Son) because he wanted to distinguish himself from other Mullicas in what would become Northern Delaware. The rest is history. Who do I pay reparations to for this name change?

Yeah, I.ve done this. The heartbreaking one was where the "old house" from my grandfather's centennial farm was replaced by modern construction... but I haven't seen the place for 20 years so what do I expect?

Any time you spend doing something is time spent not doing something else. Preparing yourself for the virtuous woman, or the virtuous life, or the fulfilling life, is probably more rewarding in the long run than transitory pleasures.

Mark Rippetoe, at 60, deadlifting 500 pounds. Is he healthy or unhealthy?

This will get no traction unless there's some way to get the men to pay for babies without marriage. Oh.

Distrust of the state is not paranoia. They are using force to enforce their will, and we should always question that practice. Is it truly necessary? Must we always tolerate it? Must we tolerate being called children just because we distrust any group with control over our lives or well-being? That Sam resorts to name-calling at five minutes into this piece is indicative that he intends to be an apologist for the abuses of others who are doing things for our own good. The founding fathers had a thesis that there's a possible intermediate position between pure anarchocapitalism and the overweaning state. It consisted of recognizing evil. As an example,"It is evil to have a standing army, but since there are existential threats that only an army can combat we will tolerate the lesser evil of the standing army in times of crisis but be ever vigilant that it's mission is clear, its scope limited, and its ability to lobby curtailed." It is clear that they never intended to follow this principle once the cash flow started, however, as the Whiskey Rebellion swiftly ended the idea.

Yeah, I was pretty sure it was satirical photoshopping. The left doesn't tolerate wry humor in protests very well.

I guess you could say I believed my senses. To me a belief means something accepted as true something that you don't know to be true and knowledge is something clearly experienced and remembered. Whether that belief comes from trust or faith becomes an important distinction. For me it has generally been a case of "trust but verify".

Let the light of a thousand suns shine on the Eccles athwart the swamp of the Potomac. But I'm merely a delegate.

Presumably to break into the phone... and the probably didn't realize it would cause the cloud drive backup to fail.

This phone, which belongs to the San Bernardino Health Department. Another interesting tidbit is that the health department did a remote password reset on the phone, which broke the automatic backup to iCloud, which the FBI could have easily ordered read in comparison.

A red flag is not a deal breaker, it is a caution.

No, they asked for a targeted version of the OS for the particular phone in question, not a general one... and making it possible to brute force without bricking is not the definition of a back door. A back door is a special password to get past passwords. Brute forcing is the way everyone breaks encryption unless they have a better method. It just means trying all the possible keys until one works. Encryption fragility is generally judged by how long this takes to do. The issue at hand is that iOS delays the time between attempts and also shuts down the phone after too many incorrect passwords. This is all the court wants Apple to change. It is not asking Apple to decrypt the data. The only reason they are asking Apple is because the hardware wants signed software, and the FBI doesn't want to waste time brute forcing the signing key as well. They were pretty descriptive in the order about what they wanted.

I don't think Trump realizes is that the court asked Apple to provide them with a special OS that does not brick the phone after 10 login attempts and offered to cover any reasonable expense for producing that one-of OS build to load on the phone. They did this because the hardware requires the OS to signed by Apple's key. They are not asking for a back door. They are not asking them to decrypt the phone. They are just trying to preserve the data on the phone so they can brute force the pin. Trump sees this as a way to be tough on terrorists. I don't think he knows the details.

You're killing me here. Accent marks instead of apostrophes I can overlook, but "and argument"? What was wrong with:

Dielectric heating is caused by polar molecules being spun around by the electromagnetic fields in a microwave oven. However, fiddling with the frequency of the field is going to interfere with radios and everything else, no matter what your shielding. The 2.45 GHz frequency used is distant enough from most things (except Wifi) and is highly efficient for the materials and distances needed in a home kitchen. Instead increasing the power increases the effects on less conductive materials. Increasing the power instead increases the depth, and not necessarily the resulting time to cook. The bottom line is that 2Y is probably too long, as some of the wasted RF energy in the 1X case will get absorbed by the additional material in the 2X case. Per wikipedia: where is the angular frequency of the exciting radiation, is the imaginary part of the complex relative permittivity of the absorbing material, is the permittivity of free space and the electric field strength.

Go to root causes. Why are they using drugs to regulate their mood? If Ancaps aren't beating their children, forcing them to go to government schools, or forcing them to pay taxes, are they really going to medicate except when needed?

Precisely. Ultimately it's the customers that set the wages, not the employers. Someone earns a salary based on their long-term earnings expectations for the company.

What I draw from this is that if a system of logic comes to a conclusion that is physically impossible, there's either a problem with the premises, an error in operations, or a problem with the logical system.

Stef very carefully builds up from first principles, did you find some of those first principles to be in error? In particular is this statement from UPB: This, any statement that is impossible true and false simultaneously is invalid. Does that answer your underlying concern?

The last justice appointed in an election year was Anthony Kennedy (during the Reagan administration after the failure to nominate Robert Bork). He is Mr. Swing Vote a lot of the time. It would be *really* interesting for Obama to do another recess appointment which is likely to lead to a Supreme Court case that would likely involve the recusal of the appointee.

Scalia was not above decrying judicial activism to save a policy he loved and originalist construction to tear down a policy he hated. Even so, he was Trumpian in his turn of phrase for an opinion.
