Powershell is pretty cool, but it's not as integrated into the "essence" of windows like sh is for linux. There's been a bunch of projects that make extensive use of it lately, like chocolatey - I hope it keeps getting b

Thank you for the actual statistics; can you provide a source for the legislative change? I found sources for 2005 and 2008 changes, but not one for 2013. There's also one particular thing that doesn't pass the smell test for me f

Ehh...you'd need to prove that the regulations on hotels reduce the amount of these incidents, and then also make an argument that reducing these incidents is worth the amount of regulation. Anecdotes don't cover 1) (unless you wa

But isn't the practical effect of this that police officers can continue violating the FA rights of people in this way and then shrugging behind qualified immunity?

I think there's an omission in your argument. The reasonableness of not forming a friendship given limited time constraints is based on time being a limited resource, e.g. it'd be better to spend time on other friendships. In your
