The story is pretty clear that the villains are ODOT who built a highway right next to a school.

Har har. That's not the problem, the problem is for everyone else who can't "just come an hour later" and especially for teenagers who will have to suffer even earlier school times for the entire year. From all I know, h

Year-round summer time sounds horrifying, is there anything I can do to prevent it?

They've learned their lesson - taxing profits means everyone will pull off bullshit accounting tricks to make their profits as close to 0 as possible.

That's because Steam's community features are second to none. I don't really want a monopoly, though, having more than one store is better in the long run, even if it sucks having to register for multiple services. At least i

> past socialist regimes Ok, I agree with the spirit of your post, but don't ever hold up the USSR or Venezuela or any of the others. It's obvious you don't know how shit actually worked back then, so let me tell you. It w

Personnel doesn't last long, no more than ~10 years for infantry. So if the damage doesn't impede combat function over the expected useful lifetime of the person...

Youtube could leverage their existing ContentID system so reuploads of videos that are private are taken down and the accounts locked after three strikes.

No, you make the default safe and make the "dangerous" option hidden behind an advanced menu, so at the very least you can be certain the user can read and follow directions. Like a two-stage weapon switch.

A friend told me some time ago that in the German army every person is trained to be able to do the duties of anyone up to 2 levels above him. This is done so any unit, or even just individual soldier, can carry out their mission as intende

Seems to me like it would be a good idea to have a tool (superoptimiser?) that can take your simple code and rewrite it with intrinsics, which you then check into source control. So you have a doFooGeneric and have the tool generate doFooSS

Well, a lossless codec loses less information and so it's less loose with the pixel data :)

Doesn't this rely on the CPU prefetching the memory to cache? Do current CPUs from Intel&AMD detect access patterns like this successfully? I.e. where you're accessing 64-element slices from a bigger array with a specific stri

From what I can see, piracy doesn't hurt profits and as long as it's available only to technologically literate people, it will pretty much fly under the radar.

I prefer 4chan's system with automatic reply linking. The issue with Reddit and HN is they model conversation as a tree, but real written conversation between several people is usually a DAG with one person replying to several posts at

The solution generally is "we form a department that employs qualified people and scores entities on quality X", then the law says "entities with less than 50% X as determined by the department for X scores shall not appear o

It's sad that the site doesn't work without javascript. We had this exact navigation working with iframes 20 years ago. And I could resize the TOC on the left back then.

Copyright is theft. It is theft of people's natural right to expression and sharing. We've seen that if you give publishers an inch, they'll take the whole 9 yards and sue you for there not being 20 yards, because their accou

I actually tried that - scanning and printing money on a normal office scanner/printer combo from HP. Euros worked fine, as did Scottish pounds. So unless the ATM I used to withdraw cash was loaded with fake notes, it doesn't seem

Also, it's a cheap clear plastic bottle. Olive oil is never sold in clear bottles, UV light degrades the oil. I doubt I would even register this as olive oil at a first glance simply because of the packaging.

If that is the official address, it should be on the map, so you should have to investigate exactly one cottage. It's not like street numbers are always simple and sequential either. I have streets that become other streets in the midd

Just remember that Howard Dean's presidential campaign was killed just by him yelling "yeah" on TV[1] . My takeaway is that most journalists are unethical vultures that will kill you and pick apart your corpse for the tiniest

After seeing fractional scaling in Windows, I'd rather just not. 150% was really, really bad on my 1440p screen. Fonts were probably the most horrible I've seen in my life, even for Windows. I just turned scaling off and increased
