Because the population is growing. So if production is constant, we all get less without it.

Physics.

Lack of food, oxygen, and liquid water. Maybe it will be possible someday, but not now. This fatwa was discussing doing it now, possibly as part of the one way mission to mars that was discussed, which was a complete suicide mission.

Except that I'm going to have some money in a checking account anyway, in case of emergency (not to mention every investment strategy should include cash). The minimum is under the amount I'd have for emergency. So no, it really doesn't cost me anything.

Because most of us don't have these fees. I have a 0 fee checking account at BoA that just requires me to keep a monthly minimum balance. That balance is a fraction of what I normally have in there, so it isn't an issue. In exchange I get access to my money via the web anywhere, and access to services like cashier's checks at thousands of places across America if I need it. Definitely a good deal for something I would have done anyway.

I could switch to a credit union, but it would have non-zero time cost, cost me money in ATM fees when traveling (I can always find a BoA atm), and make some things impossible while traveling. Not worth it.

BTW- if you are being stuck by fees and you aren't living paycheck to paycheck, the magic words "then I'd like to close my account" is great at making fees go away.

You've already failed, they don't have magnetic fields. All the oxygen in the world is useless for real habitation without a magnetic field. Not a place I would want to live, with cosmic rays flying through my brain all the time.

In American CIVIL courts, money is king, and often the side with the most money wins. In CRIMINAL court, it is a bit different. One side is always the government, the other is you. There are tons of protections in place.

Where it gets fucked up in the US is Federal criminal law. State criminal law is pretty straight forward, but your protections in Fed cases is greatly reduced. The vast majority of cases are State, not Fed.

Ask Ed Rosenthal, who was convicted of being this mass marijuana producer.....because he wasn't allowed to tell the jury that all the pot was grown only for medical dispensaries. After the case was over, the jury was PISSED OFF and said they would have acquitted. On appeal it was knocked down to "time served" but still. That is the Feds for you, they aren't interested in justice, just notches on their gun barrel.

Guantanamo is a fucked up situation, and it is being used for the wrong reasons in many cases, however, it does prove the fact that if you are on US soil, the government can't do those things to you under the law. Otherwise, Guantanamo wouldn't be used to begin with.

He said non-trivial program. The program in your link was trivially small.

In addition, that's hardly a guarantee. First, you need to prove the processor is bug free- there *have* been floating point bugs in Intel processors in the past. Then every other piece of hardware in the system. Then the system as a whole.

Once you've done that- you have to ensure your verification tools are bug free. Then you can say the software is bug free- unless something like a solar ray hits it. Or there's a flaw in your proof.

Sorry, its just not even possible in theory.

COI isn't against policy, it is simply discouraged. I've participated in a number of policy discussions (as an admin) and tried to initiate a number of policy initiatives on the subject matter, but there is no consensus. Disclosure is a good idea, but in no way, shape or form is it required by policy. Knowingly adding bad material or inaccurate material (regardless of COI) is still prohibited.

If a large population likes it the way it is, that is valid feedback. It means don't change. Keeping things the way they are is a perfectly good, and frequently the best design decision.

Not just Italy- Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic. I can't vouch for anything west of Italy, but insane parking and driving is all over Europe to the east.
