Yep. Just a clarification: supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and coffee houses already have a single sign warning about cancer-causing agents per Prop 65. The "bag of potatoes" in your example would not have to be individually labe

I did check the sources. The line you quote is the wrong line. The topic of "how apportionment is performed" is a different line. Further, "how districting is performed" is pretty vague in the original Constitution which

Not sure, but under the US Constitution, I'm pretty sure that the states get to decide this particular matter for themselves. So this bill is unenforceable. Both parties like to pass symbolic gestures like this on occasion even though

"zoom and enhance" is one of the ways 4K is used today in Sports replay to see details that might not be visible in a 1080p recording.

Yes it is. That's why there is a large scale solar farm nearby near Kramer Junction.

Nope. Nor do I have any proofs that my balanced binary tree implementation is correct, or that my hash implementation is correct. Given the number of stories about equator issues and negative altitude issues in autopilots, I'm unconvin

If I had a dollar for every time I heard "thread programming is hard." I've programmed using threads for 23 years. I've never had a non-trivial debug issue caused by trouble using semaphores, mutexes, and shared data. It

If you check out things ahead of time, you'll find that many landowners plan on cashing in by allowing paid dry camping.

It depends what you mean by "like this." The last US West Coast to US East Coast eclipse was 1918. The last time the totality was entirely within the current US borders and never over land elsewhere was 1257. https://en

E-cigs involve direct contact with the heating element at a much higher temperature than food would normally be exposed to. A quick google shows that the element can be as hot as 500F, and the fluid will be in direct contact. Also, the orga

For completeness, one of the issues with e-cigs is that it heats a hydrocarbon by passing it over a poorly-regulated heating element. That's a recipe for creating random organic molecules, many of which are most definitely harmful. Pro

Worth noting: Mylar balloons are conductive and extremely effective at causing power outages. We've been living with this exact vulnerability for decades. Undergrounding is very expensive, and does not protect against deliberate attack

You've gotten burned by consumer cloud services, but there is an easy solution: before using the service, ask yourself "is this business charging enough money to run the service at a profit?" Services like S3, Glacier, and B2

What do they mean by ultraconserved? From their examples, consider "I", "we", and "who" which are "Yo", "nostotros", and "quíen" in Spanish. If there is that much difference betwee

To my mind this is ludicrous. Rand() is useful for many common educational assignments. It's also useful for many applications which want pseudo-random numbers for purposes unrelated to security. I recently needed some pseudo-randoms,

A pet peeve of mine is the use of the word "unusable" when reporting a behavior which the reporter finds undesirable. Apple is just now doing what Linux has always done. Is Linux unusable? Keeping your issue reports neutral and av

You are assuming a lot of things about me that are simply not based in reality and not based in my comments. Don't do that. Be better.

You are wrong: this is the Government-sanctioned prevention of Free Speech. The problem is not that there were protesters. The problem was the the Government (which the University is an arm of) allowed a mob to shut down speech, thereby mak

Under existing rules, developers do not pay enough fees to allow the School Districts to build new schools to support the new housing. Now you'd like to rubber stamp this? For example there's a new development in Fremont of a few

A minor nit: Burning gas for heating is not 100% efficient, unless you really want to die of carbon monoxide poisoning. Combustion gasses are exhausted to the atmosphere. Heat is transferred via a heat exchanger into the recirculated intern

Losses mean something because they demonstrate the efficiency of a particular conversion, and demonstrate the overall size of the inefficiency compared to other problems in the system. Two quick examples: (1) LED light vs incandecent where

The 'embargo' algorithm is nothing as sensible as you suggest. If you click through to the hidden reviews, you can quickly see that there is very little logic happening. You'll often see a hidden review from a user who has le

If you check out Google Maps, you'll see that the Colorado does in fact reach the Gulf of California. Not an impressive amount, but some. Enough that water clarity in the north part of the gulf is significantly worse than the south (a

The problem with the Passenger Pigeon is that it was very common everywhere, and its behavior came to rely on this fact. An individual will leave its flock and just assume it can find a new flock. Once the population level dropped below a c

You don't need a remote access tool to test DDoS. That would be a silly use case for something better accomplished with ssh or a remote desktop tool.

Ada also allows return type overloading. A complaint against Ada is that it is hard for the compiler to figure out the right overloading in a complex statement with many nested function calls. My compilers prof took the time to show how to

You are in a city where Lyft is not available. Does Uber have serious competition in Toronto? Here in California, there is zero downside to using Lyft instead of Uber, so a switch is much easier. The only reason I have Uber on my phone is f

Adobe apps are notoriously incompatible with case sensitivity. If your apps work, that's great. But if Apple switched to case sensitivity by default, it would break apps.

This is for iOS, where the app developer fully controls file naming within their sandbox. It is very unlikely that MacOS will fail to normalize because filenames there are presented directly to the user.

You have not provided an alternate explanation for the population crash and subsequent recovery of piscivore birds. I note that DDT perfectly explains it. The study by Rhys Green is entirely misrepresented. He studied four species of thrush
