That's not true, and it's not even what the article claims. It says it's not the strictest in the country, which is true. From the article: > Seven states receive higher grades than Illinois in the latest Law Center to Pre

Why should the whole country be compared to anywhere though? The idea (implicitly) is that it gives you a sense of what it's like to live in the US. But no one lives in the whole country. People live in a particular area, usually one s

While we're at it, if you support the 1st amendment, what solution do you have in store for threats, incitement, defamation etc? What about the 4th amendment - presumably you have a solution to people hiding evidence of crimes right? A

The comments on this are actually really interesting, which is a nice surprise for a blog-type website these days. The one with the story about the pest control guy especially. But my favorite one is "The irony of the federal governmen

Interesting question! But without having a goal in mind, it's hard to comment on it. If you have some goal that you're shooting for regardless of which of these options you choose, and it's just a question of which option wil

This sounds unbelievable - could it be true? I am not qualified to analyze these claims. What does HN say?

That's just a badly designed user experience though. If they had stuck to miles as they should have, it would have been even simpler that the one that switches between kilometers and metres.

People do this all the time. There are companies that specialize in it. I've often had cars inspected remotely, but always by having the seller bring it to a specialist shop. My experience with this kind of thing has been that it'

After reading the whole article, I didn't see anything that "points away" from the lab leak theory, unless it's supposed to be this: > “The connection between RaTG13, the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Sars-CoV-2 isn

Well, how do you explain it to yourself?

You're blurring the distinction between power and influence. Politicians don't get power from wealthy donors - they get power from votes. Wealthy people have influence - that is the ability to persuade people, bribe people etc.

Why do you throw the code away? Does it work? If YES, stop throwing it away. If NO, then you are not finished figuring the problem out. Keep iterating. The first time you write something that works, start working on another feature. Once yo

I wish people would stop writing this as e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0. That deliberately obscures the meaning behind this formula. It's only zero because it happens that sin(pi)=0 and cos(pi)=-1. The real equation is e^(i*theta) = i*sin(theta) +

These might be good workarounds, but they all assume that employers have some incentive to look for a workaround. This may be true for highly paid roles that are hard to fill, but for more competitive roles, they'll just skip CO entire
