Or alternately, "I sometimes listen to other people's songs and use those ideas to develop my own. In fact sometimes I copy and paste short melodies and then rework them." Courts have held that it doesn't apply to music

Every game menu feels like a casino now. Even the ones with no microtransactions put the trapping of P2W in. Cluttered flashy menus. When you get a drop instead of just giving you the item, they give you a chest with an unskippable flash

And no matter how well it does, investors will expect growth. So what further sliminess does Diablo Immortals 2 do to get growth? This behavior is unsustainable.

Tanks are about safely moving a big gun. Iraq war showed us it's more important to safely move people (up-armored hmmwv). Modern artillery, drones and missiles accomplish the "big gun" role better without having to get clos

Most cooking shows or recipes make things too fancy. You can make many recipes with a pan, a spatula, a knife and cutting board. Prep, cook and clean in 10 minutes. Burgers, pasta with homemade sauce, chicken salad. I can't even wal

I agree with much of your sentiment but I don't think it actually addresses food security unless you're talking about stockpiling wheat to last through a bad year. Buying wheat flour instead of wheat bread doesn't help in ca

Is that actually realistic? I clicked through Ukraine and couldn't find an ATM to sell BTC. Crypto requires the same assumptions of stability once you want to turn it into something real.

In an efficient free market. The efficient is the frictionless spherical cow of economics, useful to describe theories even if it's never been observed in real life. That's why we have critical jobs, that are understaffed and po

And yet many critical positions are paid poverty wages. How can we say a job is a poor choice if it's necessary for a functioning society.

All these services are going for the strategy of a couple big releases and hope people forget to cancel. But now with a dozen different services consumers are being forced to learn to swap in and out. Once they swap into a good pirate solu

NATO clearly answers this, No First Use. Individual countries can deploy though. US says no first use except in response to WMDs (so bioweapons or chemical weapons). By clearly defining it, it makes it less likely to escalate to accidenta

That is incorrect. NATO policy is "no-first use" for nuclear weapons. The member countries individually can make decision. Nothing in NATO mandates use of nuclear weapons, just that they join in common defense.

They were soviet nukes. Ukraine was soviet land and soviet people too. Breakaways by definition take stuff with them. To claim Russia had a right to the nukes is no different then saying they had a right to the land and people. They had

Thanks for the explanation, the linux internals of this is past my understanding. It reminded me of tsocks (for wrapping connections in a socks proxy), so I thought a similar thing would work. But it makes sense that you don't really

Treaties are between governments. Individual citizens are not a member of the treaty. You don't get any authority to pursue individual action.

There is no guarantee. There is really no one that could even make such a guarantee. Opinions of DOJ change with administrations. The president could issue a pardon after the fact. Congress could make a law. Perhaps the executive could

Attacking systems still remains illegal within US. Making that choice is a bet on the whims of what prosecutors are willing to prosecute.

I didn't realize it was such a drop-in replacement. Couldn't you then use a LD_PRELOAD to translate TCP into MPTCP? Then applications wouldn't need to be modified.

Most of our understanding of animal behavior comes from observation in their natural habitat. It would seem nearly impossible to observe this behavior for undersoil.

Can you explain your objection? It looks like a sample area that the population has very little diversity and the station has more diversity then the population.

What amazes me most about that crash video is that there are no airbags deployed. You explained that racing safety systems don't belong in street cars. But I didn't expect the reverse as well.

Efficacy trials are quick for a disease with 100k infections a day. It's much slower for something that has that many cases a year. It's much harder to tell a statistical difference from noise when you're talking minuscule

Tornado protection is mostly about avoiding damage in the periphery of a tornado. A building of that size can't realistically be protected from a direct hit of a major tornado. Proper engineering can protect a building from basically

Wouldn't the same apply to Hawaii? Which it would be hard to argue they don't have ethnic cuisine. This makes me curious. At what point does a culture start to to mature it's "cuisine"? Is it driven by commerce?
