In and of itself no. But in the context of responding to someone saying “your comment reminded me that some people don’t have a scientific background” can be read in a similar way to saying “your comment reminded me that not everyone on Ha

It's pretty clear from the article that he was paid ~5K USD to replicate a piece of work he'd already created twice before—bank notes arranged to demonstrate average annual income. The museum also gave him the money that would f

I was also under the impression this was true, but in fact structuring is its own crime, even if the money was obtained legally.

Honestly, I wouldn’t know. I work in one of the big SSCs here, and I’m not really involved in the software startup scene here.

It translates exactly. In oenology, it is indeed referred to as the 'nose' of the wine in English. I've also heard it used for whiskey.

The engineering controls don't independently make systems safe, they make things more reliable and cost-effective, and hopefully reduce the number of times the process controls kick in. The process controls do however independently mak

I guess it only applies to VS Code. The version number is wrong and the description of “open source” don’t apply to Visual Studio. Mistake is in the article.

Well, if the primary is known not to be in a good state, you might as well fail over and hope that the issue was a fried disk or a cosmic bit flip or something. The real safety feature is the 4 hour lead time before manual processing become

Oh for sure, but I doubt anyone would call orange juice a 'fermented' drink, compared to wine/beer/kefir/etc.

And non-fermented foods like orange juice, which can have upwards of 0.5% alcohol content.

While the person I'm responding to may be upset that 'premise' seems to be acquiring a second meaning in this specific circumstance, they are almost certainly not correct that OP 'want[s]' to say premises. OP almost

This is not correct. 'On premise' (normally hyphenated) refers to servers hosted by the same organisation as the application owner, and is opposed to cloud. It is correct to say that an application runs 'on premise', if

That's a bit of an oversimplification of my point. Profit is not a blanket justification for everything. However, when considering the legitimate interests of a company, it's important to look at the services they are offering (an

I have to say, that privacy policy is pretty comprehensive, and the questions they are asking seem fair. They don't need to prove that they NEED it, just that they have a legitimate interest in collecting it which outweighs your right

To be fair, if we're watching a 25fps iPhone recording of 12fps feed being played through a 60Hz monitor, the "zooming/tilting/"WOW!" crap" would keep the iPhone framerate, so it doesn't necessarily t

Hm, so essentially your argument is that an object is a label that we put upon a quantity of stuff ? I'm not sure that I agree, but for the sake of argument, even if I accept that principle, you can still count how many of that quanti

If you reject the idea that objects exist, then of course they will resist attempts to count them.

Could be. There are plenty of potential explanations which don't amount to 'this is fake', but I am fairly confident this has been doctored in some way.

My point is subtly different, I think. The point I’m trying to make is that if you’re “at rest” in space, all of your movement is through time. If you are “at rest” in time, all of your movement is through space. As far as I understand it,
