Sure, but that pattern isn't going to make the cops think you committed a crime. And if you flew out, there's plenty of other evidence you're elsewhere (airline information, credit card usage, etc). To clarify, I'm not s

> Intending to murder someone is often directly a crime though Not at all. Committing an act with the intent to murder is a crime. Actual intent alone isn't.

Same here. I've never seen 2 gas stations near each other offer the same price. And large price disparities are common.

Source for this? As I recall, his phone was off when he committed the murders. In fact, they used the evidence that it had been turned off just for the duration of the murders (with some padding) against him. If you're going to commit

Thanks - will try it.

Sure, I know some places that do that. The problem is that the professor has little clue on who can and can't solve the problems. Everyone doing poorly on a tightly constrained problem is mostly noise.

A lot of challenging problems are not solved in one go. You work on it, don't get too far, and then you get more ideas later at night while cooking dinner. Don't get me wrong - I'm sure people cheated even in my day. But this

3 hours for us as well. When you start doing graduate level work, a problem could easily last over an hour. And many people will have false starts before they figure it out. It's not a problem with homework assignments as they have mul

I've had such exams. It was the honor system. The idea is that a typical exam is too short to evaluate the student's knowledge and a belief that fast students shouldn't have an advantage.

BTW, the anti-data center movement predates LLMs by a margin. Near where I live the locals were upset before COVID - they employ very few people, use a lot of land, and pay little to no taxes. It's just that they're building them

For a lot of folks (including near where I live), "building in my small city" is the same as "backyard". The narrative is "Use up a lot of land, pay almost no taxes, and employ almost no people."

Sure, they could do that. The outcome wouldn't change, though. If SW devs who worked on ride sharing apps didn't leave, why would you think these folks would? If SW devs who worked on airline ticket search engines didn't leav

I've always known tech doesn't pay well in the UK, but wow. Interesting to see that nursing pays a lot more than engineering over there.
