What he's asking is some sense of whether these are merely statutory violations or whether they are so far off the statutes they are dangerous. Sometimes straying from the statutes results in something considerably safer, or perhaps ju

Assuming right handed with right handed scissors, looking down at what you cut: You put a couple fingers through the bottom loop. Most people don't pull those straight upward, but pull a bit toward their hand. This pushes the blade t

Right hander with right handed scissors, you pull the lower loop toward yourself and push the upper loop away, this pushes the blades into each other. If you can use the "wrong-handed" scissors, you can reverse the pull/pus

I was one ROLLBACK away from the Users table in production. Mid 90's, we fixed things in production all the time, and I left the where clause out. There were no soft deletes back then, we just deleted the row, and that would trigger

Don't discount the bump from understanding the pacing and difficulty of the exam. You might have 25 questions in 30 minutes for a math section. Understanding that which sections are easy and which are hard allows a student who has se

I might own a hammock for use in place of a tent...that is oddly specific and correct as that is how I camp (when there are appropriate trees available).

Nothing wrong with paying non-union livable wages, either. Except that they don't contribute politically, of course.

No reason to have limited licenses. A state run clearing house for all money going in and money going out. Then publish the results of this, so people can see how bad a deal gambling is, the state can get their cut, and people can know wh

Yes, sarcasm. Their shenanigans are too numerous to describe. I don't know how anyone can continue using them.

Let's slow down here. Paypal has a long history and we should give them the benefit of the doubt.

Hyperogue is another great one with hyperbolic geometry. It really drives home the point of how much more area there can be within a given distance on a hyperbolic plane. It's quite easy to get lost and be unable to retrace your step

And it's still illegal going forward, which means it's still valid reason for civil asset forfeiture, something the feds are major players in, either directly or through "sharing" with the states.

Mathematically, selling used, losing tickets at a sufficient discount would have a higher expected value (also negative). Everyone not selling those would consider these to not be fun at all. So there is some value in "live" lo

Even when storing the cookies in a database like Postgres, they are fast enough because it's obviously indexed, and it's probably cached in many usage patterns. JWT is solving a non-problem for most people. Now, if you're t

And a lot of people look at these "torture" situations as a battle of wills. Nobody is truly being tortured and they aren't really in a dangerous situation (generally). Fear factor is a mix of scary and disgusting, with an

Bringing people down for the sake of equality? Depends. Bring in more tax money from the rich and build a safety net...that's pretty popular. Don't allow a student advanced math classes because he'll get ahead of his peers.

Not disagreeing with you at all. Just saying that "horror" and fear of the unknown was much more normalized in times where you could quite easily be lost in the woods and eaten by a bear (or witch or dragon). What they might vie

There have been numerous statements along the lines of "we didn't crack down hard enough". Which would likely translate to more restrictions requiring less evidence. I'm sure the opposite side would aim for greater def
