Binding arbitration does not preclude criminal prosecution. I mean, that’s what I tend to think of when I hear “really wrong.” I’m not a huge fan of arbitration clauses generally but they are not unilaterally evil. Have you ever been involv

Hondas are notoriously reliable, but at a certain age things can start going wrong and if you need that car you can easily pay more than it’s worth to keep it running a few more months. It’s happened to me before, it just happened to my fri

Crap cars are also expensive as hell to keep running nowadays. Buying new or nearly new, if you need the transportation for your job, can be more economical. That wasn’t the case 40 years ago. That labor that his mom presumably put in is al

Partisan gridlock is a long way from wu-wei. They may bear a superficial similarity but the situation we currently face is not really a choice between more rules and regulations and fewer. It is the difference between running a well-ordered

The truth is, nobody really knows what is driving the price up. It’s not the DNMs, the high price and fees are a PITA for them. Could be artificial pump via USDT. Could be individuals or even nations under financial sanctions dumping cash i

Right on the cover, at the bottom. It’s not just the Netflix logo, it’s the ST name and branding copied from Netflix. I’m not saying they had a right to take it, but neither did he have the right to publish this image in the first place.

I suspect it complicates things further that the image creator presumably did not have permission from Netflix to use their copyrighted name and logo for his own work. Edit: nvm, didn’t see that the logo work was not his own...

I think the last part is key: comprehensible to humans. I see the paradox but it’s a logical one not necessarily a physical one. I’m not even sure what time travel really means. Do you look at a river and think to capture it exactly as it w

I only see an overall labor shortage in tech fields. I’ve never heard of even mediocre developers having trouble finding work, except for a brief period in the early 2000s. I think wage suppression is only contributed to in very small part

Deliver on a promise to curb foreign competition on American soil and forward a protectionist agenda? I see this move as accomplishing the opposite of the stated goal, or at least being a wash with respect to it. Not that I’m complaining, b

A couple months after I stopped smoking - and this was years ago - I believe that I got a contact high. It was not like a normal high, it was more like a subtle body-only high. But then if you're sitting in a room with five people smo

Sqlite is great but it is a poor substitute for a "real" database where you need any serious constraint enforcement at the database level. Yes, you can enable RI, but it's off by default. There is no field length constraint o

Global state causes code to be spaghettified. Having worked on several code bases that qualify as spaghetti code, the hallmark trait is that the execution flow is wound back around itself many times, like noodles in a bowl of spaghetti, in

My thought was exactly the opposite. Some of them have modern computers right in the control room and still have all this gadgetry. There's just no way to reproduce that level of visual information on a small screen. Even at work I som

Exactly. One of the primary MOs of a cult is to hijack people's language and replace it with their own. It is a means of thought control, a method of creating a sense of belonging, and a way to make cult members feel superior about the

I agree in part, but I think there are a few things about this scenario that highlight the problems with software. First is its extreme mutability: you can endlessly patch it, and often have to when vulnerabilities or flaws are discovered.

If you've ever opened a bank account or a line of credit you signed something to the effect that you agreed to let your institution share your data with these agencies.
