I can only guess: It is likely judges do not know what they are adjudicating. Another bad case is a patent on driving I2C-enabled RGB LEDs via I2C. It's a patent on using a product as intended. It's like patenting the act of using

What do you mean spend more than they take in? The USPS is in the black, save for some strange law that they must prefund pensions 50 years in advance (any company would be running a loss if they had to do this). The USPS can't increas

That's ridiculous. Your life would be better without those hardships. You don't know that forgoing those hardships would leave you with other, more difficult hardships; and in any case, if you went without the hardships that limit

If I don't have what I want and can't get it then how could I possibly have an abundance mindset? That abundance mindset stuff is like telling depressed people to stop being depressed.

They do subsidize through rates. The UPU is set up so that the last mile of a receiving country is charged to the sender as if it were in the sender's country. This is made up from other revenue the carrier in the receiving country mak

This is kind of dangerous. The article is basically saying you should not demand more of society. I had problems in school and everyone brushed me off -- am I not right to be angry? Am I not right to demand I get the same consideration that

The original statement by a justice implying restriction on freedom of expression was later recanted (note it was not directly a precedent setting ruling either). There are people in the US that see any restriction, even for hate speech or

You restated your position instead of addressing my question and then added irrelevant speculation in a different direction. The issue with supply chain tracking is the sharing of information. If every part of the supply chain is hacked the

You assume a device can not be tracked from creation to dsitribution. Why?

Ok, that sounds good. The example was more just to be illustrative. But there is the (slight) possibility of harmonics on the power lines, etc. There are EDA suites that can do such signal analysis on your board but they are quite expensive

I have to agree with sangnoir. I don't want to provide free engineering services. I want a working product. If you are explicit about component compatibility and provide a troubleshooting checklist (all ways it must be plugged in and t

It may be legal to apply for asylum but it is still a misdemeanor to enter the US without proper authorization. How these two things may interact is up for debate, but there is plenty of legal precedent that these "gotchas" are in

People stood up to the warrant-less searches but were disposed of one way or another. A good example is the Qwest CEO: he wasn't killed, but he was jailed after acting in his own self interest after his company was ruined. There are oc

"Not good enough" is compared to how many slots are available, many of the people forced out could be good enough. The stories I have been told of difficult classes in the EU are mind-bending. They seem to be incentivizing ~80% of

Instead of attacking the content of the leaks or his claimed motives you are mainly attacking his character. It should be obvious that he planned to take the data. Taking it without a plan would be a good way for him to fail to accomplish a

The other side of this is that in the European system many otherwise qualified individuals will never see higher education because there is so much competition for the limited spaces available. I would hazard to guess that most people argui

By "programming language" he probably means something that has robust flow control mechanisms and metaprogramming facilities. You can definitely tell there's a different "feel" to bash and Tcl, Python, Perl, Go, etc

Every action is an attempt to stimulate positive economic activity by increasing liquidity and decreasing volatility. Despite the various descriptions that can be used they all essentially create money, causing inflation, which incentivizes

No matter how many times it is explained, at the end of the day people who are not me and who have no real valid claim to free money are being given free money and allowed to profit off of it.

The test for violation of the interstate commerce clause doesn't care about intent. So, quite interestingly, if car manufacturers hadn't decided to only target CA emissions standards they would have been able to bring suit again

I agree, but I like phrasing it as "only run commands with substituted arguments." There's some more discussion on this below. :) In the past I almost exclusively used Python, but I'm starting to like Go.

I highly recommend running shellcheck on all of your bash code. It is what finally taught me the practical difference between [[ and [. There are some tests that will always pass in [, for example, but work properly in [[; one project nev

Well -- I was comparing Perl to Python in this case. There is roughly the same amount of boilerplate and both are easier to read than bash's redirection. The wart is that you need IPC::Open3 or equivalent because Perl's intrinsics

I think you're reading my comment the wrong way: I meant to say that doing e.g. piping in Python is a lot of pointless work (pomp), as you agree. This is perhaps one big benefit but not one that is exclusive to a sh-like language. In

No, that is "more against" the application of the interstate commerce clause than the logic I outlined above as it de facto is a prohibition on travel and interstate commerce. This is also explicitly covered by the full faith and

While this is interesting I see doing anything but launching programs with simple text-substituted arguments as too much for bash or sh. Run shellcheck on some of your own code, or the code of even a simple project to see how hard it is to
