my first though as to how you would do this, is that you would implement some kind of key bag. You don't ever own your own private keys, theres a copy of them held in a central repository. they are all centrally stored and can be requ

ok ok, perhaps this was a bad example of being in a situation which is legal but illegal adjacent, because it seems in some cases it is illegal to sleep in your car while drunk, or even being near your car while drunk. but the crux of my a

OK, so I have decided that my example of not having the intention to commit the crime is a bad one as it has been flagged up by everyone regarding how in the UK you can indeed be arrested for this. heres my solution to the situation in the

well I'll be damned... What is the legal definition of being in charge? There is no legal definition for the term "in charge" so each case will depend on its exact circumstances and facts. Generally, a Defendant is "in c

from the article. "Hand was parked in a near-campus parking lot, sitting in the driver’s seat with the headlights on and the vehicle cranked, but was asleep with the car in park." "The vehicle cranked" is the key there.

There is a growing misconception that it is the role of the government to "keep their citizens safe". Although that it is often the intention of legislation to prevent behaviour which may lead to unsafe situations. For example, ma

Australia has ad free tv too, and radio stations and all the same kinds of initiatives as the BBC (admittedly the tv is terrible by comparison to the BBC so) called the ABC. there are no TV licenses in Australia though.. its just included i

wow... slavery? really? strawman much? There is a HUGE difference between forcing someone to work for no money, and expecting an equality of pay and sick leave based on a persons sex. My whole argument was that in small business where the

I feel very sorry for you and others in your position to hear that. the UK has some very forgiving policies on sick leave ( https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave ). in fact you don't even have to provide a doctors note i

Im not saying its humane, or just, or right. Its business. The reason you point out is exactly what has happened in the past. In fact my mum used to work for a company that straight up fired any female staff in the secretary pool which got

Oh, sorry to double reply, but I just thought of something devious. What if any of the following apply to the female employee: Is on birth control to supress having a period. Has an IUD and is one of the 1 in 5 for whom this stops Having p

I totally get your point, and from a capitalist perspective the solution of the media company in the article dis-incentivises hiring women as a dollar per hour of work metric instantly makes hiring a woman less cost effective. I've see

I really enjoyed this read. I still look at code I write every year and cringe. Everything becomes influenced by the flavour of the week. Don't be so hard on yourself, We all suck in hindsight, but its all about recognising it an cons

I think you need to caveat this only slightly. 1) At the moment when the sea ice breaks off there is no rising in overall level due to fact that the ice displaces the same volume of water as is in it. 2) during the melting phase if the sea

You're fundamentally wrong on this. What you are talking about is true only for inductive coupling caused by fluctuating EM waves. As someone who works in Embedded Electronics and Software for Aerosopace let me drop a little knowledge

I think its cool that they at least gave it a shot, but in the process it used up their stocks of unicorn blood.

I agree 100% that there is a lot more to be done than simply reducing deforestation, however it is a simple action to be taken. The growth of just trees/plants is only one method of sequestration, all the insect and animal growth are

For me the biggest question is why is that period of time considered the "baseline". The climate is a dynamic system in constant change. There has never been a static period of climate. It is forever in flux. Climate Change is
