I hear this often from engineering friends - if you cannot be unbiased, the problem is unsolvable. This gets applied to things like moral dilemmas in law or, like you do here, to news reporting. Meanwhile, the actual professions of journali

To be clear: I'm not saying I support DAPA, I'm saying that and DACA are the two immediate scenarios that were on the table for the election. As I noted in my comment, I do support DACA. For exactly the reason you state above, I&#

The friends I'm mentioning are a married homosexual couple; if the federal gov't stops recognizing their marriage, the non-citizen wife would lose grounds for residency. I still want to address this though: > Is it so much to a

I'm not, rationally anyway, worried about mass deportation of illegal aliens - there are constitutional measures in place to prevent those, like illegal search and seizure, that a conservative court will uphold. My specific concern wit

Uhm, well, because I'm having a conversation about cultural differences between the midwest and the north-east. I think it's appropriate to segway into another topic that way. If it's the sarcasm you find inappropriate, I res

That's absolutely fair, I should know better than to generalize like that. We live in rural Missouri, which is probably why the social pressure is what it is. Sorry about Trump, BTW.

Wife and I had read the Atlantic article before it was too late, went with plain wedding bands for both of us. However, living in America, this is causing issues for her, continuously having to explain to friends and acquaintances why she d

They don't mean big, they mean bad. Which obviously is subjective: In this case, I assume they mean, as I do, "bad" from the perspective of "encourages community building & social connections". If you walk down

S3 does not allow random access reads/writes to the files. "Editing" a file in S3 just means deleting the original blob and creating a new one. Meaning, you can't run git on it, you'd need to make a full copy of the

As noted elsewhere in the thread - FBI did not continue to serve child porn off of those sites, it swapped it to an error message that served malware targeting the TOR browser.

It's odd how the first thing that pops up on google is a 2-month old reddit post with the exact same title as the paper, linking to some NASA community forum talking about a paper being published - but the title is not actually mention

Does anyone know the history of where the word "trivial" started being used to mean "easy" instead of as "unimportant", like the author does here? It drives me crazy - but perhaps I'm the one that's w

The problem, I suppose, is that having the ability to choose who stays in your house is a big selling point. If someone requests our spare room, but they have many other hosts giving them bad reviews, we will reject them. We make most of ou

Swapped from MBP Retina to the 2017 Lenovo X1 Carbon about six months ago, could not be happier. It weights massively less than the Retina did, looks slick as hell, got great specs, half the price of a similarly specced MBP and good battery

I think luck here is referring, mainly, to risk taking - a giant corporation is not going to be the company on something that has a 0.5 probability of happening, but a startup might. For instance: All these startups around self-driving vehi

But, if you aren't hiring a developer specifically to implement fizzbuzz for you, why are you giving them that as a problem to solve? Hiring someone to work on a Flask REST API? Make them add a REST endpoint to a little flask app. Hiri

Your edit is correct - it is the public certificate that is signed, so a cert authority never sees the private cert and can hence not decrypt downstream. The problem is issuing fake certificates.

This is probably a digression.. While it's not a regex engine, and I suppose this is standard in compiler development, the Neo4j query planner team uses this approach extensively to incrementally introduce new techniques or to add poin

First, so we are on the same page: An LLC and "a non profit" are two orthogonal things. "Non-profit" is a tax status granted to any entity recognized by the IRS, an LLC is a state construct, not recognized by the IRS. LL

It'd be a stellar price list: - $100: Donate $16,100,000,000 ($3.50/year for 4.6 billion years) - $200: Donate $32,200,000,000 ($7.00/year for 4.6 billion years)

I wish there was a way to donate money towards a fund - like, give $100USD, that goes into some index fund, and then LetsEncrypt withdraws $3.50 (as per https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Safe_withdrawal_rates ) a year unt
