"provide enough thermal and abrasion protection for most activities aside from those which need more thermal or abrasion protection" I think I get what you mean (they're good enough for most common activities) but that statem

Aha! Criminals don't deserve rights, that makes sense. Only law-abiding citizens do. Now, how do we tell the two apart? Well, we'll just watch everybody to see if they're a criminal or if they're not. But how do we know

Mind posting a picture of yourself, from the front, fully nude? And your home address, or at least zip code, too. Shouldn't take too long to do. Not picky about quality, either- a phone camera will be more than fine. But make sure your

Not the person you were responding to, but - I don't really consume TV or movies. I do listen to music, and lots of it. I have a YouTube Red subscription (or whatever Google has decided to rename it this week), mostly for supporting sm

I can't figure out what you mean here - could you explain more about what fairness has to do with this?

Might be just good ol' market segmentation - a company with the money to spend on a spec isn't likely to settle for a draft, but the average random dev doesn't care much about the differences.

You're absolutely right- this is an ethical issue. Perhaps it's a moral imperative to not pay massive conglomerates for a "license" to view content, or perhaps it's just a good idea to not support the privatization

Well, yes, this bridge is built out of LEGO, and yes, it does bend a lot and make concerning noises every time a car drives over it, but it hasn't actually come apart yet, so we'll keep sending traffic over it.

The MDC scheme exists- it's also sketchy as all hell. Wouldn't trust it if serious adversaries are a reasonable threat for you. https://github.com/gpg/gnupg/blob/master/g10/mainproc.c

Probably not but there almost certainly is the standard set of "industry standard" clauses that inevitably end up in any sort of consumer contract, basically saying "we can kick you out for any reason we want, what are you go

The idea is neat, but it seems like a horrendous idea to get your disk encryption keys from something you liked because of the aesthetic!

They do. These types of Qualcomm modems run QuRT, a proprietary RTOS, on the Hexagon processor which handles the baseband and the LTE stack. There is also a shitty little core that runs "psuedo-Android" - you have adb and things l

Do either your superiors or subordinates have disagreements on whether or not you should have human rights? I have no problem working professionally with somebody who says taxes should be lower, or who argues that renewable energy is a wast

Okay- that makes more sense, gotcha. So you'd be OK working with somebody on a project, regardless of their actions outside that project? I don't think I would. For example, if somebody liked to spend their time skinning small ani

If Eich had explained himself, maybe even said, hey, I have these views about the definition of "marriage" as a word and as an institution, but I support treating civil partnerships as equivalent to man/woman "marriage&q

That sounds pretty shit! I probably would complain to the party's leadership about that, a bunch, asking them to stop working with her- well, at the VERY least unless she publically repudiates the group she lobbied for and says she doe
