I think the "clever show" was the point. The physical damage may not actually justify the investment here. You need the resultant paranoia and suspicion from Hezbollah or it wasn't worth putting resources into.

Say you major in comp sci (or some other high-paying field) but shortly after graduation something happens which prevents you from working in the field. Sucks to be you. And if you’re a nurse or a police officer or a teacher or a lawyer a

Is it that teenagers might fake having hearing issues in order to wear pods? Either they will be paying attention in class or they won't; this will be obvious from their grades shortly. You can ignore lectures, not participate in tea

As an aside: OnlyFans 80% revenue share rate is practical only because it does not offer App Store-based billing (which would take 15-30% of revenue off the top). In fact, neither iOS App Store nor Google’s Play Store even allow for pornog

RealPage pressures clients To be clear, they're not "pressuring" them, they simply drop clients as a rule who don't use their suggested rent prices at least 80% of the time.

Having a range at all greatly reduces individual bargaining power. My understanding is that the EU has had a terrible time recently attracting and retaining both businesses and talent. I don't see how this will help solve their issue.

Thought it was just me. I'm into sci-fi for the ideas and there were too few interesting ideas and too much fluff around them. Better authors have been able to communicate more interesting ideas in many less pages. It's why I thin

Do you not have some sort of expedited appeals process in Brazil to short circuit maverick judges like this?

The blanket policy used to be “I see it, I take it” by the teachers. That seemed reasonably effective since it allowed them to pretend they didn’t see it at times when it was genuinely an accident.

Without any kind of filtering (that's an algorithm that could be used to manipulate people) Do you genuinely believe a judge is going to rule that a Boyer-Moore implementation is fundamentally biased? It seems likely that sticking wi

Price fixing would be if both gas stations decided to raise their price to $4.45 at the same time so that customers don't have a choice. Which was the case in this instance. RealPage required subscribers to use their price suggestion

Why are we arming them better and better against our own people instead of spending some money on actual cops to solve crimes? The current party in power ran verbatim on a platform of "defund the police".

Almost every message I send after hours saves me double the time during the workday. Otherwise, I would just save it for the workday.

Would you be consistent and insist all software engineers accept screen recording software to ensure they’re working honest eight-hour days?

Elections are state-run. You shouldn’t need a national ID to vote in a state-run election. You should only need a state-issued ID. The best thing to come out of Bush v Gore was the reinforcement of elections being state-run.

You’re only strengthening my argument. Nobody wants these state-wise Voter ID kludges in the same way nobody wants Social Security cards to be de facto ID cards. We want state-issued IDs to function as voter IDs. These voter ID cards that w

As soon as you require a government-isseud ID to vote, you then get into the questions of which IDs qualify and how hard or expensive are they to get it. You’re slippery sloping. Nobody has advocated for anything beyond a government-issue

My understanding is that WhatsApp has never made claims comparable to Telegram or Signal. I also can’t tell if you’re being sincere. I was under the impression that Telegram was considered significantly less secure than Signal and that the

I can respect the arguments for making it public but there are strong arguments also to raise a high barrier of entry to discourage abuse. Further, the fewer users of the list, they easier they are to police.

It’s OK when big money donates to one side but not the other? For those not familiar with American politics, virtually all large money donors donate to both sides to varying degrees. This is primarily to get both your favored candidate in

It has a few bells and whistles that are worth having. We combined a Nanit camera and an Owlet sleep sock and that gave us god peace-of-mind at night. I only wish we’d topped it off with an analog walkie talkie as a backup in case the Wi-Fi
