You're probably thinking of CSS sprites, if you mean only displaying a certain portion of the image file at a time. An image map is when you display the whole image file as-is, but have different clickable links at different coordinate

I think getting lawyers involved is more for if you want to know what the law is. For this, we just want to know what is. It's very common for legal definitions to differ from normal definitions.

Does the legal definition include a sled going down a hill? If sleds, then skis aren't much of a stretch. And if skis, then shoes aren't much of a stretch. When I was reading the dictionary definition, I got the sense that gravity

The instructions say to ignore all other rules/laws besides "no vehicles in the park" because the jurisdiction is unknown. International agreement doesn't seem like it should break through this barrier, although I unders

That's absurd generally, but for purposes of this rule specifically, I think it works out totally fine, yes. Because if you replace the human jumping with a vehicle jumping (being that the rule is regarding vehicles, not humans) then t

Yes, any liquid or solid works to maintain contact. Gas eliminates contact. Otherwise you could say shoes prevent contact! Just like "contactless" payment cards, which for some reason involves the word "tap" as well, eve

You draw the line between ISS and commercial airplane? That seems like an odd place for it. I would think the limit of "in" would be at the prevailing treeline or maybe requires ground contact (I haven't fully decided yet), a

The instructions explain that, so it shouldn't interfere with the decision making, but the thing that the instructions don't talk about is whether the park extends indefinitely into the sky. One need not even consider the legal as

This seems analogous to a programmer who knows all the sort functions offered by their language of choice and when to use each, but has never learned how to write their own sort algorithm, and therefore can't hold a conversation about

I see that implementation now says "Site is closed as of 2023-03-01". Do we know of any alternatives? Ideally I'd like to see if my HN handle brings up my reddit handle, or other cross-site linkages.

Some people live a life of random wetness, mud, and dropping things. Other people honestly do not. There should be products for both groups.

Seems like it should be possible for the phone (not the battery compartment and battery door, just the rest of the phone) to be waterproof, and for the battery to be waterproof, and the two can contact each other regardless of that contact

Oh, ok. Still doesn't feel right blaming the merchant for utilizing #4 in exactly the intended manner. The existence of #4 seems odd though. If someone just wanted different card perks they could do a "product change" which I

The same could be said for typical search engines, although I must admit the amount of data a typical user submits (and/or that the input form accepts) is lower for those. Not to mention URL en/decoders, base64 en/decoders, p

Other comments suggest that these have nothing to do with settings you find in the app. If so, then my best guess is that a setting in your app by the name "delivery report" is actually just mislabeling some other thing such as &q

I'm kind of surprised that rooting the device allows the user of the device to become aware. It seems like the sort of thing that the baseband layer would handle without passing anything at all to the main OS. At least for the messages

Ah. So in that case, NPM is not learning a new card number, and probably isn't even aware of anything at all, given that the card issuer is simply accepting transactions (instead of declining them as this person expected) on the old ca

by hunter2_ 3y ago
Ok, I'll bite. There is no way a merchant can learn a new card number other than from the cardholder, or from a thief who got it from the card/cardholder. Not from any upstanding entity. If you merely got a new expiration date, se

Does "user" mean "distinct human" or "user account" in this context? Need to keep in mind the culture of throwaways. If 10% of users make a throwaway at a rate of 5 per month, then 100 monthly humans == 150 mon
