It's the best option if your alternative is mailing to a PO Box. Also I like this company August which makes a similar product. I'd rather just let the delivery person in remotely each time. I read August is also making a robot to deliver your groceries to your refrigerator.

And I know Snap has been trying to do Snap2Store. Their head hardware guy made the Ring doorbell hardware. He also made some thermal imaging system. I'd probably give Snap a key to my house with Snapdrones surveilling. (Automonous social ephemerality to highlight my life?)

Yet with some high profile defendants, the government gives immense discretion to them by communicating with their lawyers ahead of time and arranging an amicable surrender.

The problem with your post is the problem with the federal government. They exploit technicalities to punish innocent people and they game the system for their own extraneous reasons.

Disclaimer: I've had several interactions with the FBI, federal prosecutors and senior executives at Homeland Security, that have demonstrated to me that they can be malicious, incompetent and oh so human. There's a two tier system of justice in the US, one that has access to former government officials who work in the private sector, who will do near anything necessary to protect a wealthy and privilege class of people.

The 1st Amendment is only an acknowledgment that the government can't infringe on a natural right that pre-existed. If a company wants to proclaim an open platform but selectively enforce speech restrictions, then in a sense it is diminishing natural rights.

If it's an online platform dedicated to bake sales, then it's fine to limit it to that. But things like Youtube aren't -- they are a dominant platform and it's at least immoral or an affront to Enlightenment ideals to selectively limit from speech they disagree with based on political views.

Planned communities that allow people to live with less effort and don't put arbitrary restrictions on them.

And homeless push out the people who could be expanding their minds and imagination, trying to improve themselves and society.

They sit there, charge their cell phones, watch youtube, sleep and shower.

No, I don't think education helps. Technology should reduce the cost of living. We need better systems and societies where paying rent shouldn't require 20+ hours of work a week.

The charges seem exaggerated. If he's responsible or directly involved in the Mt. Gox theft, then they should prosecute him for that. The referencing of Internet usernames as evidence of crimes indicates they have a weak case or they're using it as public relations campaign against bitcoin.

The price of Litecoin was usually higher on btc-e I think solely because people would deposit btc and buy ltc as a way to hide the source of their coins. It was widely considered shady but trustworthy by its longevity.

Libraries are amazing and should be more celebrated and funded to expand their core mission.

But cities like LA utilize libraries as refugees for homeless people which completely destroys the purpose. It should be a refuge for people working hard and trying to excel in life, not a place for people who have given up on life. I'm happy that the homeless have a place to go but as a society, it seems like we're doing everything wrong trying to fix the problem.

Isn't there some valid probability in stating humans should likely eat what they've adapted to over hundreds of thousands of years?

And humans have been using medicine for thousands of years, which have an intrinsic property of being good for us -- thus vaccines are just an extension of this.

I'm all for resisting fallacies but this hypertechnical idea that natural vs unnatural is completely irrelevant due to a few exceptions is counterproductive. It's practical and beneficial for the average person to view natural things as better.

It's amazing BitGo whould shrug off Emin's help when he helped fix their software. Emin's super smart, ignoring his offer to serve as a technical advisor is ridiculous.

And then BitGo goes on to be partially responsible for a $320,000,000 loss (current value) that almost destroyed BitFinex.

It's just sad that so much fighting and ego has prevented technical collaboration. I'm a supporter of the Core devs but Emin is a genius who should be respected.

The best evidence for eating healthy are girls who do yoga.

If the soft fork goes through, the Chinese miners are going to attack the chain.

If the soft fork fails, Core developer Luke-Jr said they'd change the Proof of Work algorithm and possibly create an altcoin (or bitcoin if enough follow).

This is like a Russian Roullete situation. The gun's loaded, all signs point to neither side conceding. It's the cypherpunks vs the corporate miners (plus some former devs and very credible people).

If you're messaging someone to be fun or flirty, or just as causal friends, do you really want to see the random dumb things you said 6 months ago or 3 years ago on Facebook Messenger?

Every messaging app is essentially like one long email thread, whereas Snapchat provides real freedom to be spurious and in the moment without future embarrassment.

And anyone can secretly record anyone at any time in any interaction. That doesn't stop people from communicating freely.

This problem is excruciating in West LA which made me think building crosswalk tunnels could have a substantial effect.

There's a few of these crosswalk tunnels in Westwood.
