No, I think they weren't bound by a time limit in a competitive activity. If they had been, and not spread, I'd think they were terrible at debating, yes. Do you think competitive debate are unable to speak slowly when there'

So in policy there aren't 'points', it's just a ballot decision, and I haven't seen speaker points deducted for dropping arguments that didn't factor into the ballot. The danger in dropping an argument is that

If you don't think you learn that from competitive debate, you don't know many debaters. One of the biggest skills it teaches is argument-analysis, and you'd better believe that sticks around outside the debate round.

> The action in this case is very well-defined - it is the sending of a thumbs up emoji. The question is what was intended by it. Which makes it not clearly-defined as intending to enter a contract. The action of sending an emoji, unlike

Lmao, what a crock.

by ang_cire 3y ago
You are talking about ambiguous wording in contact language, which is very different than it being ambiguous whether someone was entering into a contract or not. The latter is not a thing; both parties have to reasonably understand they a

But the meaning is ambiguous. If the farmer had typed, "got it", that could either be an acknowledgement of receipt or an expression of understanding, and the thumbs-up is used the same way. Contract agreements need to be explicit

If too many people opt out, they just set up a new company and boom! No one has requested they get rid of the data or not collect it. Opt-in is the only way to make this work, and that's why it will never get passed.

No one working in tech told anyone to learn to code. That whole thing came up during debates about the Green New Deal displacing fossil fuel jobs, and people actually said we needed programs to realign those workers into green energy jobs.

You'd need the participants not to know they are part of a study. They'd need to be in a situation where they believe that the statement of their true beliefs is critical. This isn't impossible (many studies do use primary so

Gladiatorial combat was used to help preserve the social order. Public executions were often just that but skipping the combat part, and people would often cheer them on like a football game. You'd be surprised how little people care a

So you think that if e.g. Stack exchange is storing code examples in their database, they shouldn't transform the special characters into e.g. url-encoding or some other escaped format? How are you going to validate it doesn't do
772.
by ang_cire 3y ago
You absolutely may need and want to transform data. You don't want to store code unmodified in a database; that's how you end up with SSTI or stored XSS. You encode special characters in a simple, reversible way (as one example).

Well first off, that's not correct anyways; type-conformancy is a very valid and important part of data sanitization. E.g. does the SSN consist of 3 valid integers split on dashes? If not, it ain't a proper SSN. Catching that type

Sure, but this article is not a general discussion of the merits or demerits of direct sales, it's about a law being passed by a political frontrunner, for political reasons.

A dead man's switch requires inaction, not action. The whole point is that if you don't do something, the action occurs.

I think the 'no pure politics discussion' rule is kind of out the window when the article is literally just about politics, from a site with "politics" in the literal name and url. :P

Hand in hand. Regulatory capture is one aspect of crony capitalism, but subsidies for your buddies, bailouts, and nepotism are all parts as well (and plenty more).
