It's pretty obvious -- it overcomes most of the difficulties encountered with prior chopper taxis.

Case dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct, like Ross Ulbricht's trial should have been. Cliven's sons antics at Malheur are yet to be resolved.

Reversible logic on silicon through usage of probability. Makes many problems thought only solvable through quantum means solvable, and will allow faster numeric compute due to reversible logic.

I believe in both Texas and Oklahoma it's actually unconstitutional to force anyone to buy products or services such as insurance. They get around this by making it illegal to not have "proof" you are insured on you while operating vehicles. Which de minimis means you just carry a placard claiming to be proof of insurance. No way a license plate scanner can detect this; I can guarantee you every one of these citations will be color of law and invalid.

Postmodern philosophy is a sewer of nonsense.

From ETH Zurich. Looks super useful; gMaps could use this to flesh out their 3D models.

errbody and their mama buying puts with 4x leverage

It's making us look bad!

Banana Republic makes Banana Republic.

They finally figured it out. A shame most of the clowns using cryptos haven't.

I guess the pentagram figured they need african terrorists to serve as an excuse to further oppress the uppity blacks here at home.

Just like in Linebacker II, the goal is to disrupt the Afghan equivalent of the "ho chi minh" trail -- e.g. any of the mountain passes and so forth normal people use to travel to get things like medicine and food for their kids. Way to make friends as usual, pentagram.

Google actually admits it this time, funny enough. They've been doing this stuff for years.

Got arrested this time! He's probably causing trouble for Tymoshenko. Ukrainian politics are a complete farce.

See, they're not a sovereign nation so it's OK to bomb and kill them. Kind of how the USG treats every other country, yanno?

But the round they made for it is a winner:

In 2015, SCO realized that the HVP, originally conceived as a specialized shell of the railgun, was just as effective when fired from a conventional powder cannons like the Army’s 105mm and 155mm M109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzers and the Navy’s deck-mounted Mk 45 5-inch guns. A May 2016 report from the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment found that large caliber guns could fire an HVP between 10 and 30 nautical miles at Mach 3, faster than conventional unguided rounds.

Just wait until it gets miniaturized into an AT rifle round. No armor will be safe.

With a shitcoin called the 'Petro'.

instead of a cryptocurrency, perhaps Maduro meant to unveil the world's first kleptocurrency instead?

Supposedly a big pow-wow in July told him of all the glorious fruits of empire. I'm sure they neglected to point out that the Cost pro-rated across taxpayers exceeds their gross margins, which would make any competent businessman cringe. Nevermind the fact that the NPV of the empire is negative. The only appeal that can be made is "hey did you know you are immune to insider trading laws like congress???"

Scott Horton explodes a virulent statist myth:

That’s why they couldn’t tell us: because their claims could not bear scrutiny. Because they were lies.

Abandon your false premise that the people who run the U.S. government care about you or this country any more than their sometimes-ally Ayman al Zawahiri does. They don’t.

Existing anti-missile systems almost never stop the warhead; rather they destroy the tube, which is no comfort to those who have the warhead dropped on them.

Saleh smoked by the Houthi within hours of flipping to Saudi. Sounds like they've got full control now; I assume nobody helped Saleh due to internal military intrigue combined with most of the people of Yemen hating Saudi 1000% at the moment for a variety of good reasons.

Honor codes like this are state-resistant behavior; what they replace in general is worse (slavery and oriental despotism). That said it resists the state in the worst possible way (making society literally poison to attempt to consume by predatory states). The author is correct to see that the welfare state does nothing but foster this behavior; Dalrymple's "Life at the Bottom" is the primer on this phenomenon occurring in the west. In short, the UK is on track to become barbarians squatting in the ruins of a once great society, along with much of the EU.
