You've basically just described street organizations (gangs), which needed no app to be created. Maybe you can end their criminalization, end the war on drugs, or figure out a way to create gang unity with am app?

Firefox is not a "they" it is an "it." As a computer program, it has no obligation to Mozilla to make them money.

by dannypgh 11y ago
Firefox isn't a business, it's an open source/free software project. Mozilla is a nonprofit entity which pays some people to work on it. This is an important distinction, no?

Yeah, I think I program with a lot of passion. However, after I've worked for not-too-much-more-than 8 hours in a day I force myself to go home. And when I'm home I make an effort to stop thinking about whatever problem was on my

Theoretically? Citation needed. I believe this is only true if pi is normal, and while there's a lot of conjecture that pi is normal and no evidence that suggests it isn't, there is no proof.

What I meant was: 1. US law provides for ratified treaties to have the same force as federal law ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_Clause ) 2. The US and Iran have both ratified the NPT 3. The NPT guarantees the rig

As a signatory to the NPT, which has been ratified by the United States and is therefore law, Iran is legally entitled to have a nuclear energy program. It's not particularly easy to tell facilities for making enriched uranium (viable

Not sure I agree with this. I tend to use way too many tabs, and therefore use up my memory. I was visiting my parents recently, and on their Mac they were leaving a lot of programs running (having closed the window but not exiting the pr

"This provides an engineering anecdote that adblocking is worth more than half a gig to a large fraction of the population" That's a reasonable conclusion only if people are aware that they're making the trade, which I s

Really? In my experience most devices don't allow password-based root login attempts to the world at large. Either they're only accessible via some sort of privileged network, or they're only accessible with a key.

I'm a little tickled by the author's clear concern about the idea of giving coffee to a child, yet in our society we give adderall - amphetamines - to preschool aged children. Caffeine really seems pretty tame in comparison.

Yes, heaven forbid the 2.5B drops down to 1.75B. They'll have to move to the poor house, for sure.

"though the foundational period of the US had a surprisingly level of wealth equality compared to some other periods" You must be excluding both the African slaves and indigenous American population from your analysis.

With a forward zone in bind with a long TTL, an unreliable DNS server shouldn't be an issue, as long as it's sometimes available. And you can have multiple forwarders, as well.

They can send the police, sure. Doesn't mean I have to answer their questions. This is a somewhat absurd argument because what I'd do ultimately depends on the circumstance. If I truly know nothing besides my own name and that I f

You always have your Miranda rights. You're required to be informed of them only if you are to be questioned (edit: while in a custodial interrogation, which means you reasonably think you aren't fully there voluntarily) and your

Someone bleeding in the street needs first aid and/or paramedics. Answering questions from a police officer won't get that person either. Your statement really reads like a non sequitur to me. I think most people either don't

Actually I think the advice does apply to mundane things like speeding tickets. If a cop pulls you over for speeding and asks "do you know how fast you were going" if you are even thinking about contesting the ticket, many answer

In my experience you'll consult with a PD at your arraignment even if you don't qualify for a PD (for everything beyond summary offenses). They will give you the good advice of staying quiet, and stand next to you before the judge

No. If you're under arrest, you'll generally want to help them identify you properly (unless you don't, in which case going through the system as a John Doe [1] is an option and I know people who this worked quite well for) a

You don't need to have a lawyer, or the name of a lawyer, to ask to speak to your lawyer. The act of asking for one gives you protections: it is improper for the police to question you after you've asked for one before a lawyer is

I would suspect most of the people who are defaulting on debts don't have significant assets or income to make it easy to recover debts, even with a court order. The option to sue is reasonable because otherwise people who are too rich

Your credit score (and collateral, if it's a secured loan) is your incentive to repay the debt at face value. So I disagree that people would choose to default just because they can get it for pennies on the dollar. And given the abi

Your concept of hatred here is what I would describe as self defense. I draw a distinction between racial prejudice - that is, prejudging people based on their race - and racism - which I understand as a social-political-economic system of

Would love to see a citation for what you mean by "reactionary racism" - especially from the period in Malcolm's life after he split with the NOI in favor of Sunni Islam. It is true that there are many reactionary elements of

Yes, that's absolutely correct on a per-peer basis. The trouble is that for a large torrent, there could be hundreds of peers each attempting to negotiate on the link, and that can cause problems. My experience is with experimenting wi
