Yeah, they've had that for a long time. I ran my own server on my own domain name a couple years ago or so.

There are complaints that standardize testing isn't equal. Basically that some portions of the testing reflect white culture, which puts minorities at a disadvantage. I read the article a while back, but one of the examples they gave

As an American, I think it's because the treatments for racism are far cheaper and more tolerable than the treatments for poverty. Minorities were kept out of any opportunity to create generational wealth for a long time, due to racis

I don't think it's the scale, but the specialization. When what you need is unspecialized manual labor, favors work great because those kinds of favors are fungible. It starts to fall apart when you need specialized work. I.e.

It's not solely isolated to funding. Baltimore is the 3rd highest per-student spender in the US, and has terrible outcomes. I don't doubt that funding is part of it, but there's definitely some more nuance to it.

The inability to pay for college is more an artifact of the insane increase in college prices than it is the pay. Inflation hasn't been kind on minimum wage, but the effect is less drastic than the increase in college prices. Also, as

We should centralize the "heavy response teams" until we hit a level of aggregation where they are being deployed relatively frequently (over a large area) and it makes sense to give them a lot of very specific training on those s

That doesn't really address the underlying issue that OP pointed out. People that have infrequent issues where they need to juggle money around could use this. They could also simply save money, since the implication here is that they

Not OP, but benzo's can be problematic because they can exacerbate the condition they're meant to treat. I.e. they are often prescribed for anxiety, but one of the symptoms of benzo withdrawal is heightened anxiety. It creates a

I don't think it's that hard of a sell. The size of the weapon doesn't really matter; there are firearms that aren't much larger than a thumbdrive (i.e. pen guns). On the other hand, there's a longstanding traditi

Gentoo wants to compile from source, because of the USE flags. Thats hard on battery life, and maxes out CPUs creating thermal issues, both of which are notorious issues on mobile. You should be able to accomplish the same thing by using yo

There are all kinds of perverse incentives there. Oil is a great way to sequester CO2, but pumping it out of the ground doesn't help our problems. Yet it would still be valid currency. You could ban oil as a store, but people will use

I don't think it's quite that black and white. In my experience, most people want there to be some divide between things you can say in public and things you can't say in public. As an example, I think most people agree that

If you want to be 100% sure that you get all the webhooks, the sender could implement an incrementing "webhook ID". If the receiver knows the last webhook ID was 53 and the sender sends one for 55, you can tell one has been droppe

Likely never, at least in this manner. NYC has the right to regulate business as they see fit. I'm not aware of any laws that would require the city to issue the license or even to respond, unless they're discriminating against hi

I don't see anything in the 14th that would apply here. NYC has the right to regulate business, so they aren't depriving him of a right. A business license isn't "property", and they aren't seizing any assets.

Assembly is specific to the architecture, potentially in non-trivial ways. They either have to manually write support for each CPU architecture, or they need a higher level abstraction language. C is basically that higher level abstractio

That is how the system works, conflicts of interest are presumed on both sides. The prosection wants people to say they're guilty, the defense wants people who say they aren't guilty. The balance of evidence is against the prosecu

It doesn't seem shocking to me that AAVE is stigmatized (not that it's right to do so). AAVE re-uses Standard American English words and grammar in different ways. I think it was you up above that brought up the habitual be. If

My understanding is that encryption is "broken" any time it becomes feasible for someone to decrypt your data without the key. Brute force attacks are always hypothetically possible, but the encryption isn't broken unless su

Public defenders have an adversarial relationship with police. They don't have to worry about pushback because the police were never going to help them anyways. Public defenders also don't really have oversight of police. They mig

This is what happens when the barrier to entry is almost non-existent. I would not be at all surprised if alternative app stores enforced higher requirements to publish. What's Steam doing these days on that front? They seem more open

Not particularly. It's an isolated data point; an outlier. I haven't read the court opinion, but the EFF's take isn't exactly spirit raising. They ruled it unconstitutional because the retention period was long enough

There are no valid lower courts for this to end up in. Lawsuits in which a state sues another state use the Supreme Court as their original jurisdiction. The Supreme Court is the first, and last, court for this to end up in.

That's quite a leap. I don't see how "poor people are unable to see how to provide themselves with things they want" is more likely than "people with the money to buy things they want are more likely to do so than

The reason no one will pick it up is because there are massive capital investments to get something like that up and running, and the existing manufacturers can just drop their price to compete with you as soon as you get up and running. No

I don't think we need to go quite that far. I think one of the issues is that browsers tend to entirely neglect the context of Javascript. They treat a complex webapp the same as they treat a simple website that has jQuery for drop d
