Not necessarily. The Constitution requires that all people get equal enforcement of the law. If you can demonstrate that the perjury components are never enforced against companies, you can argue that perjury charges would be unconstitution

A small thing to add, not all road salt is the same. Some contain additional additives that allow them to be effective at lower temperatures. From what I recall, the low temperature salt is more expensive though.

I think the implication is that he sows conflict between nations, or just sows conflict in general. I know nothing of the Rassemblement National or how that would help them. I have heard accusations that Russia intentionally creates confli

I would be far more careful in tossing aside the concept of fairness. Fairness still applies to your cave people. Sexual assault was never fair; it's true that you can't do something earlier people could, but that unfairness is

I would expect our spread out nature to contribute to that a lot. We drive a lot (and often environmentally unfriendly vehicles). Our food chain also involves shipping food substantial distances (not sure how true that is of Europe).

I would imagine that it's, in part, because they want to allow anonymous communication for political dissidents and the like. It's hard to make an app that is resistant to nation state level spying. It's that much harder to i

What percentage of medals went to the 10% they disqualified though? It doesn't really matter what percentage are doing it if almost everyone who wins a medal is doing it.

I think part of that is the "nobody got fired for buying IBM/Cisco/etc". You're somewhat more insulated from accusations of cringe or racism because you can't accuse someone of those things for how they view t

> Assets are items that generate cash flow. I would disagree with that. Stocks that don't pay dividends don't generate cash flow either. Assets are items that are bought with the intention for them to generate value. That va

Not an economist either, but I think I can explain that one. CPI is a single rate derived from the change of price in a bunch of goods (houses aren't actually included, as another person noted). A change in CPI tells you nothing abou

To be fair, Android and Chrome basically only make sense in the context of propping up their search monopoly. I'm not aware of any substantial income from either, directly. My understanding is that the underpinnings of Google Cloud we

Tech is not a single sector, but it is a single method of doing things. In the same sense that factories exist in more than a single sector, but it largely disappeared at the same time with offshoring. If, hypothetically, all the issues wi

I think the real issue is that NFTs are really a secondary to the data they're certifying (i.e. the art). In the same sense that "stealing" means something different in the digital world, "ownership" also means som

I think art is different in some ways though. Far be it from me to tell others how to spend their money, but at least with physical art it is preserved. The art may mostly be traded by the ultra-wealthy, but at least it still exists for t

In my limited experience, they're just far less kind. They won't hesitate to arrest you, and if they do, they'll throw away all the stuff you had collected and take your dog to the pound if you had one. Police won't help

SF has additional earthquake protection laws that kick for buildings taller than 8 or 9 stories iirc. I think they're expensive to do, because a lot of buildings stop at that height.

Texas also has extremely high gun ownership rates, and is one of the few states (maybe the only) that allows the use of deadly force just to protect property. "There's a good chance you get shot to death" is probably a better

I might look at it for work. Compliance requires us to keep track of who made what change when, and who it was approved by in case regulators need it. Right now, this often means making an MR on Git with your snippet of SQL, getting it appr

They'll just say if you sell or show it in Utah, it has to have that warning. So everyone will add a "this contains chemicals known to the state of California" type pre-roll ad.

This explains so much. I thought they were distinct operators. I thought quoting meant must match exactly, and the plus meant must be present. So +"baz" meant it must be exactly baz, and it must be present. +baz meant baz, or some
