Legal precedents exist, because laws are interpreted / combined, deduced. Sure, it is not regulatory or statutory law (executive and legislative branches). Yet, courts (and police etc) are bound by the rule of stare decisis. Namely, a

Actually, the U.S. follows the Common Law system in contrast with the majority of other countries (most of E.U. follows Civil Law). In that system the justice system participates in the shaping of law as it acts as an interpreter of the law

However, comma placement can usually change the semantics of a sentence. Thus you can find yourself guessing the wrong meaning.

At the institutions, I was affiliated in fact it isn't. Most paychecks get covered by research grants. It is usually events, and perhaps minor constructions that get covered by tuition. The main input streams are from donations, fund r

Yes in this case, the publishers shot themselves on the head. This is so interesting; if this book wins, it will be a major banner that Amazon empowers authors. I have to say that I can not find myself sympathetic to the publishers' ar

This. Always consider what happens if you lose your investment/ what is your worst liability. Be skeptical about assuming that events (e.g. different kinds of securities crashing) are independent. That is one of the usual assumptions a

Culinary: Edible part of a plan that is not, or does not contain seeds (i.e. not a fruit). Biology/Botanology: does not exist. Only the definition of fruit is of interest. Thus something that a cook would call a vegetable are classifi

I disagree along with the sibling comments. While as it is apparent from the comments to this posts the misconception of pterosaurs/pterodactyls etc classification exists, there were never dinosaurs. I am guessing at some point, in cer

Exactly. I am pretty certain, no such claim was made by the movie. And although it mixes a bunch or eras together, it does not claim to have just brought back dinosaurs.

In the U.S. I actually have witnessed both, seemingly contradictory, aspects. That is cases as you mentioned in urgent care where there is an extensive work done to you for no reason, that ends up to be even unrelated in the end, just to co

So far I did not have that issue, but I am getting a bit concerned. If that is correct, going to a doctor, despite paying a hefty price, I have to double and sanity check my doctor's prescriptions. I don't want to end up accidenta

That's good. (Although what is the purpose of the off year?) Question: when you say science what does that incorporate?

I got that. Although not clear if they meant senior high school or what not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_United_States It is a bit unclear to me when someone says high school in the U.S. if they impl

Go is kind of special, as it is new relatively and the initial implementation of every feature is usually the most basic possible. Thus, every new version there is space for a lot of improvements. What I mean: the garbage collector is/

I disagree that voting has become meaningless. The issue is that young people think and feel that voting is meaningless. Thus politicians don't really have to pay attention to what young people think or want. (You don't vote, you
