That wasn't clear from your original post. You're also being disingenuous in your argument. No, of course I do not support discrimination on the basis of race or economic class. Race is not equivalent to "type of passenger or

Or, you know, don't use Uber. I get that you had a bad experience, but the response to every bad experience should not be regulation. "Surge pricing" is no more a scam than any other market-based pricing mechanism. To be clea

Why not just log directly to a scan_results.log file from your PHP script? Then you avoid the overhead of a database, but also avoid all the hackery involved in an extraction operation on your web server log files.

Ok, but not in any way rhetorically, why should anyone care whether you want one? "I don’t like being 'plugged in' all the time" is not a wider point. It's a very narrow point. It's an expression of your own se

I'm a subscriber of the slower update cycle explanation as well. Everyone I know who owns a tablet is happy with what it does for a longer period of time. Have a look at iPhone refreshes versus iPad refreshes and you'll notice tha

Traffic violations are, in most places, considered a general intent crime (versus specific intent). The bar for proving general intent is much, much lower than specific intent. The courts frequently hold that if you're driving the car,

The author misses the double-meaning of the phrase "a Lannister always pays their debts". At face value, it follows the finance meaning of debt. If a Lannister owes you money, you're likely to be repaid. Arguably, that is not

Anyone consuming this sort of information can keep a few simple principles in mind that will guide them through any hyperbolic thoughts: 1) There is only one source of "new" energy on the Earth: nuclear. Whether it's from a n

I found the original project page. Looks like they did two of these! One version (an all black one) uses twin turbines of a smaller variety. Amazing! http://www.pulsojet.ch/modelle.php

There's only one engine in there. The red glow you see in the mock engine nozzles is produced by LED light rings; which is a really great idea, btw. That really adds to the authenticity. None the less, the actual thrust comes out of th

Ugh. First things first, you're going to have to compartmentalize this issue, because it is unlikely that you'll find a lawyer willing to give you any advice that is relevant in HK, the Philippines, and the US. I would focus on th

Git is distributed. Any up-to-date copy if the repo can be used as the deploy source. Likewise, if you have all the changes you need to deploy, you can set up your own Git server pretty quickly, then push there and reconfigure your deploy m

A generous reading of your original post would take "actively" to be interpreted as "explicitly". Unfortunately, generous readership is in short supply :)

Agree 100% on this. To truly replicate Access online, you'll have to provide some sort of scripting interface that is moderately performant. Seems like a complete nightmare.

The article touches on this a bit. The US has stricter anti-smog restrictions on particulate and NOx emissions. The gap is in regulation is narrowing though, so some time in the near future (next 10-15 years) we should have parity in regula

Zoho Creator is probably the closest thing to a web-based Access product that I've seen, and it's still not quite Access. Access occupied a very strange space in between an actual application framework, a database GUI, and an IDE.

I've looked at AirTable. It is, unfortunately, not MS Access for the web. It's cool, but the two are not analogous. One of the greatest things about MS Access was that it made it trivially easy to create master-detail forms where

How do you handle type constraints? For example, how do you prevent users from inputing text in to number fields? I know Google Sheets has validators, but I don't know of any way to restrict someone from changing those validations whil
