#2. Sadly this fact undermines the real utility of RPI for development. Its virtually impossible to find any of these "$5 computers" in quantities greater than 1. Why develop on a platform that you can never put into production? I

Seems like there is quite a different racial makeup of those listed cities. Is that question permitted to be asked?

While this is true, it conviently leaves out the important question: Who pushed for those regulations? Many of those regulations that affect hotels were pushed by the large hotel groups - regulation is simply the most cost effective way for

Agreed. The benefit of troff system is: (a) If you only need to add minimal markup (occasional .PP .B .I), (b) the fact its everywhere, (c) because of "A", no IDE / Editor needed That is to say, for minimal jobs its great - i

>but there are other factors that may play a bigger role, like mental health, social stability, criminal history, training in weapons, etc Sounds like we need some sort of way to vet people coming into the country?

That assumption is: plane with current on-time arrival percentage vs train with mythical 100% on-time arrival. There are a whole host of additional problems that affect rail travel that you never have to think about with air-travel. Current

For short distances high-speed rail can be a good option, particularly in connecting neighboring cities (LA-SF, etc). The problems with all these projects are cost: Simple back of envelope calculations show it to be (a) dubious, or (b) poss

It may in fact be self-selecting. Out of the total corpus of people, there are some who would be abusive if anonymous, however they have enough 'social awareness' to not behave that way when real names are used. However, there are

There is an idea known as "morphic resonance" which encapsulates this idea. Another sideline issue that this idea addresses is: how did the cells of your ear know to grow into that shape. Obviously we know that stem cells are the

Bash init files may not be particularly feature rich, but they are hardly "complicated". 90% of every file is boilerplate built around: stop, start, status (after all restart is just stop+start). Proponents of SystemD can make som

So you don't want stateful inspection on your private LAN router? Its ok for every hacker to portscan the 100's of IoT devices in your house? You're a very trusting fellow.

I think thats plausible, but actually I think its to minimize support. They know that a PC sold with DOS is not going to be used, the buyer is going to install their own OS, therefore no support. The danger of including Linux is then grandm

Caveat+: No one yet knows if we can even reliably count the planets of a distant star, so the figures could be off by some significant amount. Caveat++: That light reaching earth from far away galaxies was then, this is now.

"Searching" on fingerprints is difficult to scale as users move from tens to thousands. The best system is: 1. User inputs username. 2. Fingerprint is used to confirm username. 3. User inputs password.

Some fingerprint drivers (like DigitalPersona) allow you to change a preset value that acts as a "salt" for the minutiae. Obviously this salt must be shared among all installations of the driver for the results to be consistent. H
