if I understand correctly separation of powers is not spelled out well in the constitution. The supreme Court didn't have any power until the 1830s http://www.wnyc.org/story/giggly-blue-robot

Booking.com has started taking Airbnb like listings for which there was no indication on booking.com that I noticed. I recently booked a room in stockholm that looked nice on booking.com. It was only after I booked that I was contacted by t

I'm also surprises uber doesn't take destination into account when requesting drivers. AFAICT it just asks based on distance so a driver that will be heading the wrong way to pick me up on a one way street takes the request and th

In containers a few more things are virtualized. The file system is semi-virtualized. Network ports are too. So from the pov of stuff inside the container nothing else is running. That's not true of processes in general. From outside t

There's that too. And that's more evidence I'm not fluent. In English if someone uses new slang on me I understand it almost immediately from context. In my 2nd language I'm lost

I mostly agree with you. I might not know every English word but I won't consider myself fluent until I can understand and use my second language at the same level as my first. In other words I should be able to easily explain anything

It really depends on the film though. There are family dramas I can understand 100% but I watch a movie with lawyers or science or high level government or military meetings and I'm lost.

So Firefox is now picking winners? YouTube, Vimeo, and Pageshot get picked. The features seem nice. The integrated to specific sites not so much. I know they say they'll add more video sites. That still means if youre not an establishe

Can you point to where they removed it. AFAICT it's still in full force. Your example of JS inside a UIWebView is true but anything else is not. The only allowed code loaded at runtime has to be either (a) already in the app or (b) exe

I didn't understand some of the mentioned benefits of PHP. Progressively adding types: This isn't PHP it's hack. How is this different than typescript or flow? Edit/refresh vs edit/restart server. It seems like it&#

I'd argue it succeeded because it didn't require you to run a server. All those cpanel lamp ISPs mean sign in and upload code. All other solutions, java, .net, node, python, Haskell, etc require you to run and maintain your own se

You might be programmed differently. I had a similar experience where I didn't start really drinking until I moved to Tokyo. Before that I tried for 2-3 months when I was 25, hated the taste, got headaches, stopped. A friend had me try

This might be a dumb question but wouldn't one solution to the HID-based attack be for the OS to ask the user for permission to allow the new keyboard? As in "New Keyboard Detected: Allow? Y/N" That wouldn't protect

I don't think that was the OPs point but along those lines Stack Overflow doesn't use Fogbugz. I'd love for them to tell us why Fogbugz is not a fit for Stack Overflow

Which dating apps are these? All the dating apps I've seen come out are either ways to scam people ("no connecting unless you pay with lots of fake profiles") or are just more of the same ("can only connect on superficia

It may not have been intended to be derogatory but that doesn't mean it hasn't ended up actually being derogatory. "No more tofu" certainly sounds like a judgement that "tofu" is bad/unwanted

I'm curious if these incentives really work at all. For example it's common knowledge a real estate agent won't go for the most money per deal. They'll go for the quickest money per deal. No real incentive to spend extra

I'm curious how you find it not creepy. Imagine every company you every interacted with spawned a flea sized drone to spy on you at all times. Are you saying you would not find that creepy? Sure, they could potentially provide you with

Maybe it was buried in there but what I didn't see is a graph showing the amount of money spent on dealing with marijuana related crimes that is now going to other crimes. They pointed out crime didn't go down. Fine. All that coul

I didn't click "like". I didn't in any way directly interact with Facebook. I googled articles on loneliness, picked one, read it. When I got to the bottom without clicking anything I was effectively informed that Facebo

The author's rant on JS and npm deps has a point but his rant on typescript, flow, and other transpilers completely misses the mark. If JavaScript is an unsafe language and therefore anything that compiles on top of it is unsafe the sa

Is this really all that different from a blog or online news site changing the content of a page or a company updating their terms of service page? It sounds like they realized the message was unclear and made it clearer. I do that all the

Isn't a large part of the win for typescript the tooling? Specifically the auto completion and documentation that pops up in various typescript enabled editors. Does such a thing exist for Flow? Could it? If it did that would go a lot

I find the opposite to be true. Sure writing an entire game is a lot of work. But starting with the typical "print "Hello world"" then looping. Then text input. Then average 5 numbers = Students quit out of boredom. Wher
