By no means. The arguments generally present on here was that: 1) He'd already been in custody in the UK for some time, so if the US wanted him, and the UK was willing to hand him over, then that would have already taken place, but had

I have mixed feelings about this. My gut feelings here are: 1. Randomness in general is fine. Magic: The Gathering packs or blind bags or Kinder Surprise eggs should not be banned[1]. Plenty of digital games do have random drops too. If I

Keep in mind that much of the article is discussing a Patagonia-brand fleece vest. It retails for $79, and it actually is a useful accessory when going on long hikes in the Andes or whatever. So yes, there is more of a focus on experi

I mean, the real answer is probably that the rules were developed in the context of a patriarchal culture. But they're hardly alone; many countries have historically practiced agnatic primogeniture which works quite similarly.

You're very well aware this occurs. Are you trying to ask why, or to make some social commentary, or were you just deploying snark?

His identity is hardly a deep secret; anyone who really cares can find it out, and verify his credentials. (Not that those credentials are really relevant here, no?)

In general, if you did it before it was illegal, then you're fine! But note that is almost certainly 100% irrelevant here, because the SEC is arguing (very plausibly) that at least some forms of ICOs were always clearly illegal, or at

I mean, apart from the huge number of items that have been fixed over the years, yeah.

If you read the article, it's full of notes about "this was fixed in 5.4" or whatever. A decent chunk of the remainder has been fixed in the 7.x series, and some of the remainder is slated to be solved in the (as of yet, u

Yes, but not all processes destroy nutrients. Frozen vegetables are just as healthy as fresh (possibly more so). And it appears whey protein (in essence, protein extracted from dairy sources) is very healthy; again arguably healthier than

The debugging experience is very good, actually. Certainly comparable to other languages.

I think that is largely changing. Quite a lot of breaking changes to clean up ancient cruft are slated for 8.0. For example, PHP has infamously had broken ternaries (they're left associative, which is never what you want, not how a

My understanding is the top-end model was $600 at launch. The price was cut by $200 to $400 two months after launch; after a backlash Apple compensated early purchasers with $100 of store credit. Two years later, an iPhone with comparable

Being an early adopter generally means paying a premium price without a lot of confidence that the product will be as useful as it looks, or that any promised ecosystems will appear. People who bought an iPhone shortly after launch paid $60

The logic runs like this: A secured loan should be easy and cheap to get, because if it goes bad, the lender can reposes the collateral. This is like your house and the truck; you ran up some debt, it didn't work out, you lost them
