Perhaps they meant the police as the men with guns doing the stopping, and the states monopoly on violence. I for one wholeheartedly support the police enforcing gun control laws and dealing with armed criminals.

It would be wild because it would be wrong. We acknowledge someone who has suffered brain death to be truly dead, even if their body can be kept alive (and presumably shining!) for weeks and weeks through modern medicine. If this light is a

The difference between legality and morality is extremely relevant and it's absurd to just gloss over it. Many things we now consider immoral were perfectly legal, like slavery or the holocaust. Law should be based on morality, moralit

If humans could detect this light then we could see living things in otherwise complete darkness. But we cannot. So it stands to reason that these photons do not explain "auras", and "It's just your imagination" rem

That is not an accurate estimate, that is the number of bodies that they have managed to count. If people are stuck under rubble or are otherwise "lost" without leaving an identifiable body then they don't go into the officia

If you google the Haavara agreement and their little celebratory coin (star of David on one side, swastika on the other) you'll find that the literal nazi government supported Jewish migration to Palestine. Of course Israel technically

So they are seriously saying that Google developers on average went from about 70 PRs per year to less than 10 PRs per year when working from home? That seems such an absurdly large decrease that it's hard to believe.

What is a CL? What are "significant revisions pushed in comparable products" and what does it measure?

Why do we rely on the managers suspicion if there is actual evidence? Why is the evidence not shared?

I fully agree with you that forced "literature" lessons suck the fun out of reading. As someone who had to go through it in the Netherlands I've sworn off Dutch authors in response, and haven't read Dutch literature for

Your country did gleefully kill millions of innocent brown people in response to 9/11, it's just that they mostly lived in the middle east. You've apparently dehumanized them to the point where their deaths just… slipped your

Because the protection that the VPN provides decreases the risk of having bugs to the point where they won't get prioritized, ever.

That and poor support from cloud vendors. Looking at you, Azure. How is IPv6 not enabled for everything by default? It boggles the mind.

Surely you see the difference between ordinary citizens buying online and spending money abroad while on holiday and big foreign companies taking their billions of profits out of the country?

You can also do something like: fn xy_mut(&mut self) -> (&mut f64, &mut f64) { let &mut Point { ref mut x, ref mut y } = self; (x,y) } The fact of the matter is that doing mutable getters in R

It cannot. The event horizon by definition prevents mass and energy from leaving (ignoring the exception of Hawking radiation here). I'm assuming your "black hole droplet" would be a tiny black hole? But if you could remove a

No mass escapes. It is purely gravitational waves that are emitted. There is no sneak peek behind the event horizon curtain during a black-hole merger.

by Thiez 1y ago
The energy is emitted as gravitational waves which is probably tricky to convert into usable energy and you probably can't attend more than one in your life unless you have faster-than-light travel. You're much better off visiting

This explanation gets repeated over and over again in discussions about the speed of the Rust compiler, but apart from rare pathological cases, the majority of time in a release build is not spent doing compile-time checks, but in LLVM. Rus

Slashdot allowed you to configure scoring, so you could assign 0 or even negative points to 'funny'.

C# has great generics and originally shipped without them, so it has been done before.

This 'random kid' stuff is absurd. The child is five or older. For all these years you have been calling it 'my son' or 'my daughter', and it has been calling you 'papa' or 'dad'. You'v

At least if you turn out to be the father you can put the issue to rest. If not, you can pursue parallel construction somehow.

I'm sure we can conclude Elon is a fascist based on his words and actions alone, without resorting to numerology.

And people like C in spite of the segfaults. It's the same disliked thing, Rust just moves it to compile time instead of production. Which many people prefer, since it avoids security issues, data loss, and mysterious crashes.

It's not rocket science. What is the purpose of the interview? For the company, to find out if you are a good fit for them. The questions must be interpreted in that context. That you need money is not interesting information to them,

It certainly does not. Sure it can crawl links, but the browser doesn't understand the meaning of the pages, nor can it intelligently fill out forms. It is the user that can hopefully divine how to interact with the pages you serve the

There are land-back movements in the US. In addition, all native Americans have US citizenship. If Israel gave citizenship, equal rights, and the right of return to all those that were displaced since the 1940s and their descendents, then I
