You know what, you're right. I saw a video of someone testing that a chip had been soldered on correctly with a multimeter, but he was testing for the lack of a connection. Testing for a connection would not be done this way.My bad.

There are a lot of objections to C++, but I've never seen any of the five he mentions. They sound more like strawmen to knock down than real objections by actual users or commentators critical of the language.

> ever again I don't understand this claim. They are still calling hot devices laptops today . Do you mean that at some point in the future they will stop, and then they will never again call these devices laptops?

Right. And the reason why it keeps breaking? Well, the solder on the board might not have any flux left, so it might have trouble flowing properly. There could be a cold joint, etc. If it fails again, one possible next step would be to grab

Thanks! I could not find the contract on JetBlue's site when I went looking last night. But here is the contract for American Airlines. http://www.aa.com/i18n/customerService/customerCommitment/co... As

The problem with analogies is that just because you can make two things sound similar does not mean they are. The statement you made about airline tickets is normative, not descriptive. I'm curious about how things actually are , not

Presumably the police would maintain a minimal, unobtrusive monitoring presence and only gear up/deploy if violence began. This might delay response during a violent protest, but, in theory, would make a peaceful protest safer and migh

> There are no boundaries to our "rights". I propose you test this claim by one of the methods the grandparent suggested. The protest-by-occupying-a-random-person's-house idea seems like a good one to pick.

Reasonable . . . hrm. Hard to say. The surface area of duties and rights associated with an airline ticket in particular and airline travel in general are so vast that some level of clickwrap is unavoidable, not to mention the various laws

I wonder. Do you sign any agreement that prohibits hidden city routing when you buy the ticket? If so, on an ethical level, it's not the same as the sandwich buying scenario, where you are not signing any additional agreement. I wonder

It appeared that you were trying to minimize taking out a hit on someone because, to paraphrase, "the police started it." If that isn't what you were doing, my bad, but if it was, then my comment was as designed.

No enforcement of any law is completely non-violent. That doesn't in any way excuse or justify killing or trying to kill to avoid enforcement.

I'm afraid that "the police were about to find out about me through this guy" does not count as a reasonable excuse for murdering someone.

The court has to pretend that. We in the public can follow any decision rule we please, including maximum likelihood.

In reality, when this happens, the companies in question call each other up and fix it, generally speaking.

This would be neat for linking to source locations in the terminal and in the console output of an IDE.

I am worried in the long run about automation, but it's true that labor participation right now is about the same relative to the number of retirees as it has always been. Unemployment is very low. The number of "discouraged"

Sometimes I meet people who feel obligated to work late because they're told to. Since I'm in the privileged position of never having been asked to do this, I can't fully know what my response would be. But I'd like to t

Re: his edit, thank you for your compliment, but I just think there are more constructive ways to approach most conversations than accusing people of talking out of their ass, or calling them losers. :( If you truly were banned for arguing

People drinking more in the winter should surprise no one. Bad weather displaces other pastimes, and people simultaneously feel more depressed because of the lack of sunlight.

With good reason, based on his posting history. It's pointless to warn someone like this that they are hell-banned. Any new account they make will suffer a similar fate within a small handful of posts.

On some level, that might be preferable because of the additional outrage it might generate.

I would like to propose a new hypothesis. Autism rates are linked to the incidence of people non-ironically drinking fruit juices to cleanse themselves of "toxins."

This article contains a variety of citations about screen time[1]. And here's some stuff about the benefits of reading[2], from the reading-to angle. There's tons of stuff like this if you care to look in to it in more detail. Not

Huh. I wonder if I should put up a bunch of positive and encouraging signs and images in my home gym to exploit this effect. Also, my lifting buddies and I often joke around with each other with certain phrases. Some of those, like yelling,

Difference is, reading of all kinds has positive effects on outcomes, whereas screen time has the opposite.

My parents and most of my friends' parents limited our screen time when we were kids in the 90s. I wouldn't say we grew up with "free tech" in the sense that you seem to believe we did.
