So what happens if she racks up a few million in fines and declares herself bankrupt, say in the UK, where you can't then be held responsible for earlier debts?

This would lead to literally murder in my part of upstate New York. Heck, my neighbor will even park on his own lawn to avoid the ten foot walk from the pavement.

It's absurdist whataboutery from Kushner, and no doubt the Israeli foreign ministry pulling the strings. One does not equate to the other. What it does do however is undermine current Israeli domestic policy, which can be neatly summed

As a manager a lot of the annoying interruptions I put down to, and I chafe at using the word, a lack of hustle. Okay, so I view my job as primarily giving devs some strategic direction and priority, but also unblocking them from getting wo

Not very is the answer. When I worked in finance in the UK a few years back, the credit control team had a few ex-commercial bankers. Those guys had wild stories, the best ones were usually how much money they'd find being added to chi

But who would attempt to live their life using string theory as an organizing principal? Occult is nonsense, if it does the kind of manipulation of reality it's supposed to do, then go prove it.

This is one step removed from swinging a crystal from a piece of string and using it to divine the stock market. Absolute nonsense the lot of it, and a waste of good printing paper that would otherwise have better use as a instruction bookl

I could never figure out the attraction of all this occult nonsense. If it works go empirically prove it, if not just cut our the wishy-washy BS involving the waving around of swords, casting spells or spelling magic with a 'k'.

Thank you PuTTY for saving my butt so many times in archaic security-theatre companies who would block all ssh apps except leave the PuTTY website and downloads still available.

Let's have it correct, businesses pay folks to do work. While they make some allowances for what's happening in a person's life, they're not therapy nor are they charities. If you can't manage whatever you're s

If it's used to track folks out on bail or already convicted of violent crimes then great. However seeing what the UK police are like right now it's likely to be applied to harass genteel retirees protesting about Israeli barbarit

I've worked with lots of folks on the spectrum and to be honest it's more fun dealing with them as team members rather than "normies". One guy particularly stands out, he joined the team and started off on a solo run wit

You'd think A. Scott Howe might at least smile in his photo bio. He looks like one guy you don't want to end up cohabitating with you for centuries on a generational starship.

There's a massive fat guy in the local area here who goes blasting around the place on some over-powered, over-noisy bike - but doesn't (or can't find the right sized) leathers, so instead goes out wearing bluejeans and a den

Attention is relative, like if you're in the middle of some code review and your kid calls saying they've got a problem, then you may get distracted - but rightfully so. Not like this jerk, who's kid had to put time in his ca

Generally yes, but sometimes no. Take for instance the requirement to have the fire alarms at toddler height in our local daycare.

There's an awful lot of complex navigation, signal processing and trigonometry required here, good luck. What's the fidelity of the sonar in detection of flying mosquitoes?
