> Only tasers are worse. Only tasers are worse at killing people. They're perfectly adequate for their intended use; allowing an officer to halt a person who presents a real danger to the officer, when alternatives are not available

We're doing something about COVID though. Even if some people are shouting "it's my right to have COVID", the vast majority of the population won't accept that stance. That's simply not the case with gun contro

It certainly wouldn't be legal to dock an employee's wages in any central European country. Labor laws here are too good to allow that kind of abuse.

I've had an (truly) unlimited plan in the UK for less than 25£ for about a decade now. The <20£ plans often have caps but it's not so much more for unlimited.

In this case, I think they have an established status quo, with different providers being the clear winner in certain markets, so they don't compete directly. At least, not very much.

bat's great! There's an easy way to disable pretty printing too: either use the flag, or pipe to another command.

I see the biggest challenge in this space as the lack of standardization. The article already mentions how different manufacturers choose different solutions. This problem will only get worse as more players get involved; each wanting their

Whilst I absolutely agree that writing code fast enough isn't the bottleneck, it's always nice to have tools that reduce repeat code writing. I use the React plugin for Webstorm to avoid having to write the boilerplate for FCs. Ma

As I recall, there's a difference between file.pizza and webwormhole. file.pizza allows the sender to specify files and then generates a share url, whereas webwormhole creates a share link first. The latter can be useful if you're

While that may be the case (I'd also argue that the front page should be a welcoming place for existing users), showing me that you value your existing users is a great marketing move. It's otherwise very hard to convey that you c

I don't think the criticism is the logout time, it's the fact that you have to hunt for the button. The logout time only exasperates the problem.

I don't think making the user read instructions is the solution. Most (myself included) will begin typing before they finish reading. The current trend to only show the password box after the username is provided doesn't have to b

Exactly this! I used to pirate everything because it wasn't available easily. We're rapidly approaching the same scenario. It's not "thieves" not wanting to pay; it's normal folks not wanting to desks with the

This is solved quite nicely where I live by allowing people to claim home-office expenses on their taxes. Everything from extra rooms to desks and chairs.

I completely agree. SMS 2FA is, at best, just adding a little hassle for the hacker. If it's not a targeted attack, there's a chance that the extra effort means they'll move on, but that won't stop any remotely determine

Opting out of cookies is often not very easy because of: - hidden and confusingly worded opt-out dialogues - different cookie banners on ever site - dark patterns such as requiring far more clicks to opt-out than in - opt-out dialogues with

Exactly. The option we choose should be better than what we currently have.

I'm not sure if you're advocating for the "way it is" but I hope not. The way it is isn't fair and the legal system, and society in general, should realize that and improve it.

It's worth noting that in the UK, an applicants car minal background could easily be checked but the application process is only allowed to ask if you have any "outstanding" issues. The idea being that crimes you have served

It's very uncommon in many parts of the world. In countries that aim to reform and educate criminals during their time behind bars, not giving them opportunities when they get out seems illogical.

You can just say "they". (Not trying to be judgy. People just seem to forget about the gender neutral use of "they".)

As another commenter said, NASA uses metric. During the stream, you can hear the various teams giving measurements in metric, whilst the media gave coverage in imperial. It's a pretty interesting video from that perspective, as you can

These are great for emergencies and the odd occasion where the regular building heating isn't enough. I think Cast Iron or stone fireplaces serve a different purpose, in most cases. They're for show, and novelty.

In cases like this, being "handed a legacy system [with] no idea what the code does" is already a red flag. I've developed on plenty of legacy systems and the ones that went the best were the ones where I was given time to be

Your argument here doesn't seem to be that Bitcoin/etc. are bad, but that alternatives exist. The issue with those alternatives is that they cost a lot. In your case, this additional cost was worth it in an emergency but that&#x27
