As a class, police officers are expected to be highly knowledgeable of the law and have been trained in both hand-to-hand combat and conflict de-escalation. Off duty police officers should know when they're doing something illegal, the

The question as phrased assumes that the primary incentive for joining the police is impunity for casual lawlessness. That's dystopian. You could also ask the same question of skilled martial artists and armed forces veterans. Both cla

Yeah, I used to live a couple blocks from the museum and only went there once. The admission's a bit steep if you only want to play a couple of games and then leave.

I think they used one metric (resources used) when deciding to kill free teams, then their PR team scrambled to find another metric to make the whole kerfuffle seem like a tempest in a teapot when the backlash hit.

I would guess that those 2% of users account for more than 2% of the load on Docker Hub. Open source projects on a regular release cadence would push images more frequently than your average user, and those public images from the projects t

There seem like lots of legal uses for that app. "Customer service rep support" is a non-shady use case and in all honesty is probably far more monetizable than helping people cheat at interviews.

I would expect larger accounts to make the percentage of deposits in accounts with > $250K to be higher than the percentage of accounts with > $250K because that's how numbers work.

GP is talking about the majority of accounts , and the number you cite is a percentage of funds . If 98 people have an account with $1 in it and one person has an account with $102, then 51% of the bank's assets are in accounts >

You still have to do all the validation on the server, but you can duplicate some or all of it on the front end for convenience. For simple projects, the validation built in to HTML form elements may be sufficient.

R2 would probably be significantly cheaper because they don't bill for bandwidth, but S3, GCP storage, and Azure storage would likely be in the same ballpark. Blob storage is a commodity service, so the major providers mostly match eac

There are a number of fine options for blob storage (S3, R2, Ceph, Azure Storage, etc.), but with that many documents it's likely access control and audit logging will be important. If that's the case, something heavyweight like S

Oysters were poor people food in the same era, and like now, many people ate them raw. It has less to do with culinary trends and much more to do with the relative productivity of the lobster fishery. (In recent years, the lobster fishery h

That's not really a fair comparison. MACs handle claims processing and payments on behalf of CMS [0]. They don't have an actuarial stake in your care the way a private insurance company would. [0]: https://www.cms.gov&#

My understanding is that the four year max is more a consequence of funding sources federal hiring laws than an intentional choice. People get hired into USDS as "excepted service"[0] for a term "not to exceed two years"

I think the problem was not that Twitter started charging $8/month ago much as that they gave up the expensive-to-perform ID verification workflow that had been in place. The CA system, on the other hand, has more or less abandoned the

NYC's food scene is great, but when I lived there (circa 2015) the only Mexican food available was confined to a few blocks of 116th ST in East Harlem, whereas Chicago had Rick Bayless.

NPM will automatically install dependencies and run post-install scripts. Those are normally a convenience, but I can understand why someone would want to skip that.

This is perhaps too hair-splitty, but I think it can be appropriate to describe a session with a chatbot in terms of mood/personality/psychological dysfunction. Doing so is anthropomorphizing to some extent, but the only real al
