"The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STDs are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner"

Sounds very much like some Christian agenda bring pushed here.

50% of the population gets herpes and syphilis gets cured with antibiotics. HPV has a vaccine.

The article itself says you won't get anything if you use a condom properly.

But hey -- don't leave the house for fear of a car accident type thing...

Getting laid is important though too...

Moralizing aside, which ones specifically can infect you even if you wear a condom?

Not a bad idea actually-- alot of work though to do it accurately :/

Is it possible to buy a "disconnected" car these days? People for decades survived loads of daily driving without snooping from manufacturers call centers.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here. The lawyer's job is not to judge the quality of a patent -- in the same way a defense lawyer is not there to judge the innocence of their client.

The patent lawyer is just there to file the patent and help their client get past the approval process.

It is the PATENT OFFICE who's job it is to judge quality.

Have several patents, btw.

Good old BSD. Keeps putting out ;)

This is incredibly incorrect. If you are going to bore Hacker News with pedantry-- at least bother to look up that the "modern" era ended somewhere around 1945.

So yes, it refers to a specific era in the past.

Right that's a good point.

Now...1984 REALLY begins...

Really? Which ones?

Even if I get an e-visa, I get an in and out stamp. Not having these would invalidate the whole reason for having a passport.

Almost everything uses RTGs now if it's going to be far from the sun (like past mars).

But it's true. Life WAS like that back then.

I think a better question is why the "car accident" people are always hijacking threads to push their agenda. Like the topic is Air Traffic Control. Why are you bringing up car accidents?
