Even if you are arrested in the act of killing someone you may have some defence that means you are not committing murder (e.g. self-defence, diminished responsibility, I think France still has ‘crime in the heat of passion’ as a defence)

Probably because that’s approximately in line with the article.

The “like” button killed genuine engagement, and made Facebook an exercise in lever-pressing. The problem is that in a lot of cases (not all), those stupid remarks and outrageous influencers are being “liked” and “reposted” by your network

It is not _completely_ naive to believe that in order for a service like Facebook to continue being successful, they must do _something_ that makes their users want to use it. And therefore, it is not completely illogical to think that Meta

Looking at the stock market, do you believe that tariffs are upholding US interests?

If you start looking for justice in the world economy, you've already lost the game. The only thing that matters is money. You can stick tariffs on left, right and centre, and all you'll end up doing is pushing goods out of the ha

I think the problem is that because of the huge disparity between the cost of imported and domestic goods which has developed over decades, the choice that people face is not 'oh, now imported goods are a little more expensive, I will

I'm surprised to hear that. In my experience, most people tend towards the other end (believing themselves to be connoisseurs, etc.) rather than 'just give me the house red'.

Wine is a good example because it’s not fungible: one bottle of red wine is not like any others. If you have a domestic wine industry, it likely can’t compete on quality with French wine. So if France can export wine at a price that’s reaso

Not sure if you’re talking about DRAKON here, but I love it for documentation of process flows. It doesn’t really get complicated , but you can very quickly end up with drawings with very high square footage. As a tool for planning, it’s n

It's a little bit below 10km/h in the upper part. The itinerary suggests that they're going 'with' the flow. I think making any progress against the current would be basically impossible.

Is it clear to anyone else whether the pollution exposure changed during the pregnancy, or whether they’re only talking about the second trimester because it’s the only one that shows statistical significance or something else altogether?

I mean sure it's expensive, but economic harm (unless it's intentional and large-scale) is not really seen as a national security issue in the UK.

CashApp did nothing wrong in the original story, you have a complaint against the seller, and the seller has a complaint against their agent, who failed to deliver correctly. With a debit card, chargebacks are not a legal right, but often p

This has sort of already happened. There was a fair bit of fuss around a very similar topic during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The prosecution were not allowed to zoom in on drone footage because the defence successfully argued that zooming

I think the point that OP was making in a facetious sort of way is that it's a fallacy to say 'A is not C because it's B'. It's possible for something to be both B and C.

As long as it’s dense enough that light can’t escape, it’s a black hole. You can achieve that with extreme density or huge volumes of mass. The more massive an object, the less dense it needs to be to be a black hole.

Yes but this is not a completely alien idea. We know that things that are moving through space with 100% of their movement through space (i.e., moving at the speed of light), 0% of their movement is through time. Take a proton for example

It’s the same as saying you can only work out how fast something is moving in relation to something else. Your car is doing 50mph on the highway, but the earth is spinning round the sun and the sun is moving around the centre of the galaxy

Didn’t say it was a good plan, just that unless you’ve got some brilliant replacement for late-stage capitalism, it’s a logical progression.
