Unless you're writing something very simple, you're going to end up re-inventing portions of a framework in order to do what you need to do anyway. In which case you're going to be wasting time. If you're trying to write

Is Musk even interested in bidding for military contracts? It seems like that runs contrary to his vision of bringing humans to space, and his broader vision of space exploration for the sole purpose of benefiting (and prolonging the life o

Well then the project manager should have argued back and said, Hey Bill, I know you're the boss, but you're mistaken about this. This completely breaks the convention from the rest of our programs and therefore the expected behav

If the allegation is evidence then we have to treat the denial as evidence too. Which one do we weigh more? We're in the same position as we were before the allegation was made. We still have to assume the accused is innocent, because

Then let's "unpack things" shall we? You said: "those other roles are harmful in situations where you are seeking truth as opposed to asking whether to punish." To use your example about investigating rape allegatio

Knowing that some uninvestigated allegations must certainly be true, based on probability alone, I cannot tell you from that information which of the allegations are true, and which are not true. So from an epistemic standpoint I am no bett

This is straight up he said she said. If what she says is in fact true, my heart goes out to her. But she has provided no evidence and no description of the incident that allegedly occurred. And Max has insisted that there was never any sex

I think the point is that even when individuals accrue large amounts of power, like Page/Brin, Zuckerberg, the Kochs, the Bushes, or the Clintons, that it is never really all that concentrated, because there are still thousands and mil

If you believe that people are born in a state of innocence, meaning they have not committed a crime, as I do, then you believe they are innocent until they have been shown to be guilty. In this case a presumption of innocence means "

I think the Iron Dome is helping to effectively neutralize Hamas and reduce the number of weapons Hamas has, which may help defuse the situation, making it perhaps more possible that Hamas/Fatah coalition will see their best option is

I think the world would be a lot better place, with many fewer religious wars, if people remained skeptical and agnostic about a claim until given actual, firm evidence. I don't think that's obviously nonsense.

No - I think the presumption of innocence applies in both cases, ethically and legally. That's why it has been codified into law - because it a sturdy principle that preserves a free society where someone isn't guilty merely beca

"nor have you given me a reason to believe that your friend's friend didn't actually rape someone." - so it's guilty until proven innocent now?

One participant shocked themselves 190 times. I'd say I'd concede curiosity is the main factor the first one or two times.

The article was saying that teenagers have an elevated amount of fear and anxiety, not that adults don't have fear and anxiety.

I think it should probably be PUT or PATCH. POST is usually used to create a resource; PUT/PATCH is used to update, even if that update has an expiration (i.e. the horn stops honking.)

Customer feedback isn't all created equal. Some of it is stuff you actually have to respond to; others are stuff that you can safely ignore (courteously, of course). Would you prefer you had no customer feedback? Chances are that would

You don't need a passport to get on a domestic flight, though - so there's a blind spot for existing law.

I do not believe a judge currently has to authorize someone's placement on the No Fly List, which right away raises red flags. So the No Fly List is definitely unconstitutional as it is currently implemented, but I wonder if it would

Large contributors to the GHash pool pulled large amounts of resources out of the pool. GHash isn't a monolithic entity. Miners have to voluntarily commit their resources to GHash. It's not like a single individual can commandeer

If the blockchain is dominated by a single interest, and that player starts abusing their market position, BitCoin's exchange rate will plummet and the economic interest in question will lose millions. So yes, it is in the community&#x

Take a deep breath. Stop hyperventilating. Bitcoin has died a violent, crashy, gory death dozens of times at this point. It's in Bitcoin community's, and GHash's, economic interest that no miner exceeds 50%. That's all y
