As a parent, you have an obligation to provide your child with the best, safest, environment that you are reasonably able to provide. More upscale neighborhoods generally have better schools, activities, opportunities, and so forth. It is a

It is disheartening, but not surprising. Zoning officials and others in city government don't just bow out when contraindicated by evidence. Instead they just arrange for new research with what they hope will be different results.

The fat is important. You aren't going to survive on rabbits, no matter the quantity. Regarding abundant game in colder climates, see http://www.adn.com/article/20131020/fuzzy-math-alaska-subsis... . Winte

Statisticians have frequently noted the difficulty in making such comparisons. Many European countries are much more homogeneous than the U.S. Also, you mentioned the porous borders between states reducing the effectiveness of said gun legi

It's the same with compulsive issues (substance, sexual, or otherwise). People would much rather not know about these things, professionals included. Bringing them up is a great way to alienate yourself.

Since when is it a contentious issue to kill in legitimate self-defense, with a firearm or not?

There are many firearms (i.e. receivers) that do not even require CNC machinery. A manually operated milling machine is more than enough. A small charcoal-fired furnace and drill press is enough to make an aluminum cast AR-15 or 1911. No ne

From what I understand, the right to bear arms was inclusive of nearly any weapon. There were interesting discussions (at the time) with regards to whether the 2nd Amendment included the right to bear warship, cannon, or repeating rifles. T

Agreed. I've looked into the data in the past and this is not at all clear. You don't see anywhere near the same incidence for murder or violent crime among impoverished whites or Hispanics in America. These sorts of things are mu

I was under the impression that Keynesian economics is/was said limitless facing off against gravity. However as was already mentioned, when these sort of experiments go wrong (e.g. Communism), they tend to go terribly wrong. It would

The companies themselves don't really have any capacity to enforce these "rules", they have to petition the government to do so. The end result is regulatory capture. How do you expect to "force companies to give more of

There's now a 'Skip Question (Not sure or don't care)' button so perhaps your concern was addressed.

checkinstall installs the software in order to build the .deb, so it is sort of dangerous in that regard. It would not keep your home dir safe. I would recommend running it in a virtual machine. Building .debs is not all that difficult, jus

At least in my experience at a UC, the media portrayal was fairly accurate. It seemed like there was a never-ending onslaught of concerts, "multicultural events", sporting events, "community center" activities, safe spa

I think it is an accurate assessment that many (potentially millions) people would lose their files in such an event. Many people use cloud storage (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive) without a native client. Even on mobile, it is common to delete

No need for a guide. I've done this several times and it's very simple. Assuming you have an Android, use the following app: IP Webcam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam It will

This particular script is not really a jammer in the traditional sense. It's simply a de-auth command to a specific device on a specific network. So with a little care you could ensure you were only dropping the indoor cameras.

All of the mainstream media I've read on the subject identify the Iraqi camps (Camp Bucca in particular) as the modern origins of ISIS and attribute the camps to facilitating networking and radicalization, without which ISIS would not

Oh it absolutely will create more "converts to terrorism". Just look at the results of the mass incarcerations post invasion of Iraq. You put thousands of people in detention centers and prison camps and you give them an unprecede

Whoops you've got me there. Yes for that example, the grep alternative is not very elegant. Anyways I wasn't making an argument against composition, just particular types of composition (such as useless use of cat, parsing ls, gre

If looking at the common pipe chains from shell histories tells me anything, it is that people are not very familiar with the tools at their disposal. Just look at some of these chains: ps | grep cat | grep find | grep fin

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I had heard of OpenShift but have never paid much attention to RedHat. It turns out OpenShift has an official Node.js "gear" so between that and easy access via SSH and a git repo it was a breeze t

FYI you don't need root at all. Just download the node tarball and unpack it somewhere in your user dir. Then add the following to your .profile (or .bashrc or whatever you prefer): # add node.js bin to PATH npath=~/Applicat
