I can certainly believe that Texas, in practice, never had much public land -- I readily admit my ignorance on this point. I'm still not convinced of your original statement, that it has no public land because it was previously an i

Well, none of the land was owned by the US government. I'm not sure if land owned by the Republic of Texas (now State of Texas) really counts as "privately" owned.

Language sidebar: You might want to alter your word choice a bit. As an American, “must be convicted” reads as “must be found guilty in court”, which I’m pretty sure isn’t what you meant. Even changing the order to “brave, convicted and h

But is this a paid review? He was lent the hardware, which means he had to return it after he had made his review. While there’s certainly some conflict of interest there, I don’t know anyone that would consider that a payment.

For individuals, vaccines aren’t 100% effective at preventing infection. Primarily, they are useful to increase the herd immunity of large groups, and limit the scope of outbreaks— this only works if enough of the community has been inocul

Questions of this kind often boil down to specifics, as the various competitors all have strong and weak points. As such, It will be hard for anyone to answer meaningfully without more context: What kind of game do you want to write, what

After I’ve written a full script, I reduce each sentence to a few keywords (25-75%) in my notes. That way, I’m re-building the sentence in my head during the presentation and it flows much more naturally than just reading off of a script.

Sure. It all depends on the geology of the particular oilfield the well is tapping, and how much money the well owner is willing to invest in increasing production. Similarly, there are vertical wells that have been fractured. I don’t have

Horizontal drilling and fracking are two distinct but related techniques: * "Horizontal drilling" refers to drilling a non-vertical (and often curved) borehole, to reach deposits that aren't directly beneath the w

Walmart has a history making suppliers cut costs to the point that quality has to drop. Often, suppliers will produce inferior goods for Walmart, and mark them the same as the high-quality goods they sell to other retailers. I've actu

And the real meaning of stuff like [1.11.3]? It's got to be there, or else the law is underspecified, but it doesn't make for effective lay communication. I still think a real summary would be useful for all the people that don&

Yes, but with all the cross-references and legalese specifying which level of government is responsible for enforcing each piece of the directive, the actual regulations can be hard to extract for an untrained reader. Hence my request for a

Is there a simple, objective summary of the proposed rules? Everything I've seen is propaganda trying to convince me they're the end of the internet, which makes me quite wary of the authors' motivations.

I started down this road several months ago, and decided to write my own system that can grow and change as I discover how I want to organize things. It's roughly modeled off of a traditional categorized card-catalog system, with the

Often, the buffer was never copied. Instead, the video card is told to read from the old back buffer (which is the new front buffer), and the old front buffer (which the video card was drawing from last frame) becomes the new back buffer

In a traditional magazine, those stories would be in a sidebar or as minor articles on the same spread. The web isn’t conducive to this sort of multiple text flows presented together, so they’re being shoved into the main body of the artic

Also, when you get yourself into trouble with a CLI, you can usually look back through the session history and figure out what went wrong. GUIs often have an undo stack, but there's no real log what you've done.

In the analog world, you have to think about signal-to-noise ratios instead of DPI. Any given copying technique will add some small but nonzero amount of randomness to the output, which destroys some information. The way digital copying ge
