It seems like you still have to have a chase plane[1], and the difference seems to be requiring approval for UAS as a whole system to use for commercial purposes[2]. Note in that second link that there is no size restriction for model airplanes, which I found interesting ("FAA guidance does not address size of the model aircraft.").

[1] http://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=14... "Because UAS technology cannot currently comply with “see and avoid” rules that apply to all aircraft, a visual observer or an accompanying “chase plane” must maintain visual contact with the UAS and serve as its “eyes” when operating outside airspace restricted from other users."

I've always used alt+scroll for horizontal scrolling.

Edit: doesn't seem to work on the linked page

At the least, isn't the IRS able to come look at your possessions to approximate your tax liability, or something along those lines?

This idea, making future consequences (positive or negative) of present choices more vivid and real is something I learned from this LessWrong article[1]. I think it will appeal more to this audience than _The Secret_.

Sounds logical. But, and I'm not sure if it's correlated with gender, my mother and her mother both have several baby teeth with permanent teeth above them still, so there are cases like that screwing with the data.

That may be true. We'd need to find out how many teeth each gender has on average.

It's so obnoxious how people like you expect members contributing to the discussion to have perfect proof on hand or go digging. If that were the true standard, these discussions would be much thinner.

It's fine to ask, just don't be an asshole when a person doesn't have it; look it up yourself.

Where?

The perfectly legal way to handle that is to get off your bike and walk the crosswalk with it.

Is it typical that Texas would be such a large percentage of global attacks? It's at 24.83% at the moment.

Which isn't breaking the law, at least in Texas. You're allowed to speed for medical emergencies. That's why the police sometimes ask if everything's okay when pulling you over; if you're going to the hospital, they'll give you an escort.

I think they're just covering their asses with that warning.

Whoops, Thanks for the correction.

That was the Digg exodus. I was a Digg user, and I switched around that time. It had started to suck really bad, to where people like myself were willing to give it a fair shot, only to discover that the discussions were generally higher-quality. That's also why I'm here, from a discussion on Reddit for other sites. But I still find that the smaller subs scratch that itch, too.

"Madhani speculates it could be due to the newspaper lobby."

That's the end of the previous sentence and the antecedent to "this".

The article supposed that's what he did, and it probably is.

Those are all retail jobs, so they're in the same industry. We probably have some new stores for products that didn't exist. We also have more warehouse jobs for the online merchants that replaced them.

Just thoughts, I don't know the numbers or anything.

You name your price, so just pay nothing for the first one, then if you like it, buy the second.

It's hard to get USD and such in and out of certain exchanges. Exchanges with easy deposits and difficult withdrawals will have higher prices usually. Moving the bitcoins isn't ever a big deal.

Crap, I was thinking of Zero Dark Thirty actually. I haven't seen Argo.

Thanks for the info, though. I have read about it before, and it's definitely an example of truth being stranger than fiction.

Why would you say "she"? Is "her" somehow offensive now? Or have they forgotten objects of prepositions are, well, objects?

How far was Argo from the facts?

I do this, but I justify it by thinking that the thread was important enough to me to reply to, so I should vote. I don't care about karma, but I'm more likely to get replies, or so I hope.

Because they're fucking awesome. War movies, that is. Sure, I'm probably playing into some sort of social conditioning, but it doesn't change that I enjoyed watching John Wayne movies growing up.

Haha, and the perfect example is the top controversial of all time: "Can reddit keep this post at equilibrium?"

That was just the number one result, this post number two (9 total). I googled the quote without Hitler, and all results came up as a misattribution, but in my quick skim, there wasn't a different attribution.

This is the right answer. I do this too, because when everything is <10 votes with a few outliers, /new looks close to /hot, but there are more submissions. For subs where the front page changes not hourly, but weekly, it's the only way to get a little freshness.

It adds to the hive mind effect you already have with online communities. This algorithm explains frustrations I've had in the past. In 4 years on the site, I've probably submitted 20 times, but the realization that I'd have to try submitting multiple times to get a fair shot at discussion makes it unpalatable for a user that only submits on occasion. Sure, any system can be gamed, but Reddit favors unity over diversity and karma whores over Regular Joe.

I've seen this before, on the same user. How, if he is hellbanned, do you see that he's trying to post? Is it unlocked on seasoned accounts similar to downmods?

"Hitler on Terrorism

"Hitler has often been quoted as saying: "Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death." This quote is based on two invented remarks in Hermann Rauschning's mendacious book, The Voice of Destruction."
