I see. Would there also be an arc if you put your hand near the generator while it was running, then?

Does the human body rapidly discharge into air or something?
Okay, so you’re insulated from ground. The generator charges you up. You are at the same charge as the generator. You let go of the generator. Why is there a potential difference?
Thing that confuses me is that when you let go, you should have the same charge as the generator. No charge difference, no arc. Unless I’m wrong about something, which I probably am (hence my confusion).
Why wouldn’t the electrons go to ground through your body while you’re touching it?
It’s actually counterproductive! People who want to screen stuff about abuse from their internet experience can set up filters. Those filters are broken when you censor the relevant words!
That’s not how exploitation works, not really. The rich will exploit as much as they can. Prices are already set to maximize profit. The rich can’t pass higher prices along, because if they could charge more, they already would. Cutting taxes on big companies doesn’t create jobs or lower prices – and raising taxes won’t destroy jobs or raise prices.
The teacher was selling prints of the art for hundreds of dollars. The article doesn’t say how much profit they made, but it could be substantial. There’s also the privacy violation, and split amongst ten kids it’s $160,000 per victim. Don’t get me wrong, that’s not nothing, but it seems reasonable for such a wilful and knowing violation of copyright, rights to one’s image, and privacy rights. (Assuming all alleged facts are true.)
Yes, but it is a problem. It’s a problem that has no partisan component, which can be fixed without political grandstanding. It’s also a problem which kills people: the 6% increase in car crashes it causes is a lot of easily preventable deaths.
If you can’t come into work because your tires are slashed, you should not be fired.
No, I’ve never run Shadowrun. I most often run 5e, GURPS, and VtM.
…really? The post was clearly a joke, and if it had any stance at all it was the celebration of modern medicine.
Corporations serve society, not visa versa. If lighter measures do not work, nationalize 'em all. (Many lighter measures have not yet been tried.)
PP would be worse, though.
We can condemn stupid things that children do while still giving them a chance to smarten up.
Skimping on security seems really stupid right now. There are probably a fair few Canadians who would like to do certain MPs harm… not to mention India has been doing political assassinations.
I’m lucky, in a sense, that I don’t have to make this decision. The only viable candidates in my riding are the Conservatives and the NDP, so I can actually vote my conscience.
That’s not how statistics works. You can have a significant effect with a tiny effect size, or a large effect size that on analysis turns out to be insignificant.
How so? The study showed no consistent association between funding and crime rates. That is true verbatim.
If there’s no zero in the dataset, then we don’t have any zero about data. It could be, for instance, that some police have a large effect, but that you hit diminishing returns incredibly quickly.
Depends on the income period – I’d do 25% of daily income for a first offence.
