Iodine is approved for treating exposure to radiation. That doesn't mean it's OK to start drinking from a bottle of industrial-use iodine that isn't made for human consumption.

Bestow whatever personal praise you want on Elon Musk based on power, charisma, whatever... As one of the most famous people in the world, with his own agendas, and no medical qualifications... it is extremely irresponsible for Musk to make

Saying that someone took X when referring to a chemical, and X is just a scary way of describing a use for that chemical, is really just FUD tactics. You know what else you could say that is just as meaningful? So-and-so died because they t

Microsoft really wants users signed in to a Microsoft account on Windows. One of their main leverages for this is encouraging people to use the app store in Windows, which doesn't fully work if you're just logged in to a local a

I'm in a similar situation - been programming for 25 years (off and on) since I started in middle school on my own. But in school we had 'Algebra I' and 'Geometry I' and I never went beyond that. Struggled with quad

It could be really cool to have in-game art using the exact same assets from the actual film. Even whole scene cinematography could be taken from scene data used in a movie. I can imagine a consumer experience using high-end VR (say an attr

That's what I mean.. if it's in public domain doesn't that mean it is free for anyone to use? How does someone legally then claim ownership? Or are they just 'claiming' without any truthful ownership? So then if the

How does the first step work, legally? What does it mean to 'vacuum up' (web scrape?) images and claim ownership... I mean, is this a fundamentally false precedent that you are describing, or is there some legal basis for 'cl

People are taxed for getting a certain amount of tips - they pay those taxes whether they actually get tips or not. And employers have a lower minimum wage for those employees.

There's incentive to always tip well because you also get rated as a rider, and I suspect that drivers also can see your average tip.

Does a function index somehow eliminate the need for RBAR evaluation? I don't see how it's functionally any different in this context from a computed column

I mean, you could add a new computed column to a table and index that... It's really effectively the same thing, just more visible. Still requires a table scan and storage/maintenance of the index/column. I guess technically

I definitely relate to this, even if I no longer have a large physical collection of books. I kinda cringe when I see lists like this of recommended reading, and especially dread that a list might be very compelling, because I already have

This was the case for Vanguard for a long time... also, it wasn't case sensitive. I'm not sure when it changed, but I think it was in the last couple years.

Biweekly means every two weeks. Twice a week is "semiweekly" although people often get this wrong. There's also "semimonthly" for twice a month.

What you said exactly makes no sense. If you said "I could NOT care less" it would mean, you care so little that it is not possible to care less than you do currently. Regardless, I think this is just a result of people getting la

It's not hyperbole. When you say something was "so funny I died", that's exactly what 'figurative' means. I don't object to the use of the facetious/sarcastic/exaggerating use of 'literally&
