I can't ignore everything that is not mentioned in the game description. I would not know the definition of the words used, like the meaning of "rule". Obviously you are supposed to use _some_ external context. Everything in

Neither the software nor the software engineers were the ones who destroyed people's lives. That's on managers of the software company, managers of the postal service, prosecutors and judges who all conspired to hide the truth and

The proposed constitutional amendment would fail hard in the given hypothetical situation. There was no "often" or any other nuance in it. It _is_ a decisive rhetorical victory, even if you don't like it.

Jeremy Clarkson. Obviously it was meant as a joke. I can't believe people take this sort of thing seriously, it would require having no life experience at all.

Large companies have difficulty making changes. The reason is exactly that: the goal is to make money, and doing what has made heaps of money for heaps of time already always seems like the best option. > The Innovator's Dilemma is

IMHO, the solution is not advocacy for policies where people get to choose and take the risk and get whatever results they get. Because there will generally be more people advocating for forced "good" choices. The solution, I thin

Did you never experience the situation where someone you care about is making a choice you think is wrong, and you want to protect them from themselves? I'm not saying this is the right thing to do. I'm just trying to explain how

You say this now, but after your son, sister or mother dies after choosing snake oil, you will likely not say "I accept that they chose wrong and that's all there is to it". You will cry bloody murder and blame the system tha

I'm not sure what the meaning of "I believe god exists and he has a plan" is, if the plan is beyond our understanding. What do people actually believe? Sure, the words will be "I believe in god", but what are the co

Using SMTP to transfer messages seems just plain common sense. Far different than IPv6-over-S3.

Probably thinking of things like GDPR, employment laws. Do you actually see no differences at all in the regulatory environment between EU and USA? What's the american equivalent of the retirement age the French are so upset about? Can

I mostly use windows, and that's my problem, of course. But with i3/xmonad, if I run vscode or intellij, can I have the file explorer view be in a different place in the hierarchy than right next to the source editors?

What I would like to have is the desktop split into separate areas (windows?) and that not be restricted (not only half or one quarter, but arbitrary many splits). Then, any split could have a number of tabs, including just one. And the tab

HTTPS works encrypted between multiple clients, servers and proxies without issues (mostly). There is nothing impossible about encrypted communication. It's just that all servers and clients need to work together to achieve this.

I expect that if Russia poisoned Zuckerberg there would be a lot more backlash from the West than in the cases you linked. Maybe even outright war. Otherwise, it would mean the entire world should permanently live in fear of Putin, and that

PID can be used with an on/off control, you do something like PWM: on X minutes out of every hour, and vary the X as the analog parameter. Don't know how easy that is on the AC/heating, but as far as the control system, it wo

I think it's a matter of perspective. I develop a lot in Java, and I understand most of the build stack. Most of the time, when I see an error I instantly realise what the problem is. Sometimes, rarely, it's cryptic, and I need to
