“I can see why having a lock is better than leaving your door open, but if it’s robberies we worry about, it’s police we need.” Yeah I still would be upset if my landlord didn’t fix the lock on my door.

Sounds like he's talking about manual transmission--in an automatic, you can't take out the keys if it's in drive (nor would you want to, as "park" is better for parking)

Why wouldn't you always leave the car in reverse? It has a lower gear ratio than 1st.

Sounds interesting, can you elucidate?

In the end I think the solution to these issues will be something like what's promised by the Bytecode Alliance[0]. The idea is you give each package its own WASM sandbox with granular control over its permissions. That solution also h

I don't understand what this is, the readme is very sparse. Is it a compiler of Clojure targeting WASM?

It's too bad NASA didn't let SpaceX test propulsive landing with the cargo Dragons. Without that, SpaceX scrapped the feature from the Dragon program as a whole. It seems like they might have been able to get more reliability with

I upvoted you because I think it's a good question. One problem is that nowadays, people often don't get presented with the entirety of the available evidence on politically charged questions (like gender equality). Whatever pundi

I don't know that it's obvious that the people outside of Catalonia should have a say in Catalonia's secession (which would mean it wouldn't matter what the majority of Spain wants, just the majority of Catalans) Somewhe

#2 looks like it violates the content rule I posted above. #1 would be really intersting to see good sources on. Barring that, I imagine it was removed for being "False news", another community guideline violation.

I can't read the post that was removed because it's in Arabic, but is it possible that it just violates the community standards? E.g. you mention Hezbollah posts as being removed; according to some (the US govt being one) Hezbolla

Not that it detracts from your point, but it’s a common myth that the gyroscopic effect from the wheels is the main reason bicycles are easy to balance. Take a look at https://ezramagazine.cornell.edu/SUMMER11/ResearchS

Probably a similar effect that moksly said upthread about javascript vs python: "Everyone knows JavaScript, but not everyone use it by choice, giving you a higher than average ratio of people who both dislike and know the language.&quo

If I know my_dict doesn't hold values that that are false-like, e.g. 0 or [], I use `or` to lazily alternate between options. This works because in python, `or` returns the first value that has a truthy value. In this case it would be

I think you're making a big assumption that ordinary users care if Microsoft knows what URLs they visit--how many of them use blockers or another technology to opt out of e.g. Facebook tracking?

Taking what's probably a joke too seriously for a moment, I don't think that follows at all. This is a research group within Microsoft doing exploratory work, so it shouldn't affect Windows at all. Further, they say they are
