The supreme court had issue with the thermal devices because they weren't generally available to the public. Dogs are generally available and they're smelling things outside your home/car where they don't need a warran

Considering thermal imaging was considered a search requiring a warrant, it would make sense for any sort of detection not available to normal human senses to be a search. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyllo_v._United_S

You can't really base admissions on merits when all the applicants have essentially maxed out those merits. They're all valedictorians with SAT scores that are nearly perfect. I agree affirmative action is not ideal. Priority acce

You're calling him arrogant for the same thing that you're doing. The part that you're missing is that progressive tax is still regressive in terms of marginal utility of the taxed income. People look at percentages or dollar

Over the course of a day, if you've been taking it for years, it doesn't seem like much. I have heard of doctors prescribing 30mg (20 morning, 10 at noon) for people brand new to it.

You've been pretty lucky. I would say 90% of workplaces do not have a sick policy like that.

I use Linux at home, but I was attempting this at work where it's Windows. I know Linux is much easier in this regard, but most more-beginner programmers are still Windows (or sometimes OSX).

Is it just me or is the barrier of getting apps like this working seem silly? You git clone the repo (assuming you have git installed). You then have to npm install (assuming you have node installed). You then have to npm install sharp. But

What you might be thinking about is the agreement between manufacturers to not make motorcycle top speeds more than 300KPH (186MPH). There are no limits on horsepower, though, and the top speeds are simply electronically limited. This also
