Even if this is true "historically speaking", it doesn't have to be true of this guy's local church. Despite the bad press generally, an individual church can still be an unambiguous benefit to its community. I would be

> School buses generally run on CNG, not diesel This made me curious, because its definitely not true where I live. I don't know about "gone for decades", but one decade ago LAUSD had one-third of their fleet running CNG[1

Kinda disappointed that all five questions just boiled down to the size of structs / ints in memory. There's way more interesting and arcane gotchas in C!

I am responding to this assertion: > A slap on the wrist like this will make them continue their actions and nothing will change. If this "slap on the wrist" does indeed change the bad behavior in question, then it seems like t

For any violation at all? If one single McDonalds employee in Dublin breaks the health code, you think all of McDonalds should go bankrupt? I assume you also support the death penalty for J walking?

3 strike laws usually only apply to violent felonies. You don't go to jail for life after getting 3 speeding tickets. I'd be down with this, but we need to decide which kinds of violations are speeding tickets and which are seriou

I would say least evil significant power... I believe their intentions are mostly good but that kind of paternalism in such a powerful entity can be a kind of evil. The EUs fight against encryption is a good example

Agreeing as a country on what is illegal / immoral is a complex issue, but it is orthogonal to the consequentialist vs retributionist debate. The discussion there is only about what happens after someone is proven to have done somethin

You're arguing against a straw man. Most people do not consider driving a car to be a morally wrong act, certainly not one deserving of retribution. The complexities of society, negative externalities, and infrastructure are built into

The USB-C ecosystem is so confusing because the port can do so much. Worst case scenario, you get a cheap cable and you're stuck at the same charging speed and data speed as what lighting could do. It can only get better for you; light

You also don't know who created the paint or what their secret formula is in traditional art. Drawing your art in Photoshop is clearly authorship. You are manipulating each pixel from scratch to be how you want it. There may be algorit

I'm not a copyright lawyer, but I think its pretty easy to argue that generated boiler plate constitutes a "de minimis" amount of content and so you would still own the copyright of all the code

And your landlord will pass that cost on to you.

by dahfizz 3y ago
That is my rule of thumb - Landlords make a profit by renting to you, otherwise they wouldn't do it. So renting is always going to be more expensive than owning in the long run.

Inflation highly favors those who own a house. Their mortgage payment is fixed, your rent payment goes up every year.

If you open a bakery in Europe, do you have to buy flour from every single farmer on the continent? Or can you "treat parties in unequal ways" and choose who you do business with?

The final ruling on this case was in November 2022[1]. The April 2022 decision was overturned in August 2022. It came back up in November 2022, where it was decided that HiQ has violated the User Agreement and had to pay damaged to LinkedIn

I am not anti-rewrite or anti-port. There exist good reasons to rewrite software. However, being "modern" is not a good reason. The gnu authors were not motivated to write the coreutils simply for the sake of modernity. And that

Everyone who has exa installed and setup aliases now has to uninstall, install a new tool, and edit their workflows. exa is dead. People can move to yet another ls replacement, but they can't stay on exa.

Yet another example of why I don't trust any software that markets itself as "modern". In another 20 years, ls will still work perfectly fine.
