I can sell an app on Apple's appstore without Apple getting a 30% cut if I use stripe? Do you have a source for that that you can link me to? Because from this, I get the impression that is not the case: https://support.str

I bet the average Steam user also spends orders of magnitude more than the average Android/Apple user as well. I'm not sure what exactly that would suggest if true, but I think it would be interesting.

There is a truly ludicrous amount of unused/underused land left in the US. The only problem is where we are burying people, not that we are burying people in the general case. Cemeteries in cities/suburbs get in the way, but o

Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am not a member of this minority. If I am hiring for a developer position, I consider at least a basic knowledge of complexity to be necessary. There are too many developers who are familiar with it f

I suspect that if it were easy to merely filter out the music, but leave the voice audio, that would work as well. I think of music as basically a brain hack. It can affect your mental state against your own will, even if you are aware of

Yeah, particularly when junkies get into things like copper theft, their cost to society can add up really fast. Things like destroying commercial AC unit to steal $100 of copper, causing tens of thousands of dollars of damages in one ni

Yes, I understand that. I support full legalization, not merely decriminalization (which leaves production and distribution in the hands of criminals).

Yeah, I support full-drug legalization, but I don't think that pretending that locking up junkies currently does nothing positive for society will do us any favors. In the current system, they account for a large amount of property

I never said that politicians have no goodness in their heart. I am criticizing your absurd wiliness to believe that politicians want more people to vote for purely selfless reasons.

No, not really. Some forms of voting facilitate it, while others discourage it. Voting that is done in person, in private (for instance: voting booths) is less susceptible to coercion than voting which is not done in person (for instance:

My understanding is that the spacecraft was designed to radiate large amounts of heat, with the expectation that systems inside the spacecraft would be producing a lot of it. Apollo 13 shut down much of the equipment inside the spacecraft,

Surely there are 13th amendment concerns with selling the hacker. Do you mean that they used to sell the exploits to other hackers at Pwn2Own?

Could be used to enforce voter coercion. Imagine an employer who demands that an employee produce proof that they voted a certain way.

I think it is naive and idealist to think that a very accomplished career politician would not have ulterior motivations. Politicians don't get behind "go vote" initiatives out of the goodness of their heart. They do it be

Still not a silver bullet. Women would still be disproportionately effected and it would further incentivize discrimination on the basis of family status. You can tweak the parameters back and forth, but every solution will be imperfect. T

It would be paid leave, and optional of course, so the men would not punished. You could perhaps claim that the corporation was being "punished", but you could claim that forcing corporations to give maternal leave in the first

A possible solution to that is to mandate that all men also be given maternal (paternal?) leave when their partner has a child. It would not completely eliminate the imbalance, since of course not every woman who gives birth has a male part

Unsurprisingly, working with balanced brackets is something computers are well suited for. Even in Vim, an editor not exactly built with Lisp development in mind, handing mismatched brackets is pretty trivial.

If you're building hardware into the car itself, there is no reason why it shouldn't be hands-free. Just put a mic in the car, hook output up to the stereo, and install a little button on the dash that auto-dials the agent. Video
