Did you read the actual statute? It hardly applies.

Sure there could be. There could be other streets. Thinner, more accessible streets. This may surprise you, but there are other places in the world (crazy, I know), and they have streets that aren't super dangerous.

No. It was purposefully put there, with crosswalks, designed to make lip service to pedestrians while maximizing their chances of dying.

Password managers can catch this case by not autofilling, hinting the user to take a step back and pay attention.

Arguing for defunding science is about as asinine a mindset as one can possess. I doubt he has any figures to back that up. The article cited shows how the self-policing nature of science is improving.

No, the first technique describes the basic way they already operate, DMA, but giving access to userspace directly because it's a zerocopy buffer. This is handled by the OS. RDMA is directly from bus-to-bus, bypassing all the software.

The constant mode switching for hardware access is slow. TCP/IP remains in the kernel for windows and Linux.

I'd imagine it's hyperbole. A tbsp is likely enough to just snort and not have (too many) issues. People do drown in surprisingly shallow waters, however.

The same thing happened to me, I nearly drowned when I performed poorly on a single wave, and the repeating nature of them kept me under the water for so long I thought I was going to die. I went up to the nearest lifeguard, about 10 feet l

What special quality do "western" countries have that makes it a moral obligation to purchase from them over others? Why is it a moral good to keep value from the others?

It's funny that they call it planning for the unplannable when the NWS have given extremely specific instructions on what to do in all sorts of inclement situations. This passage was just baffling.

The NWS is being gutted so Accu is preparing to rake in extortionate profits off public safety information.

>It is more of the converse in that I see breaking the law as immoral It's the same thing. When you see breaking the law as inherently immoral, you guide your life to exist strictly in-line with the law. In other words, you use the

I'm not shocked by that kind of rhetoric anymore; I hear it a lot from supporters of a certain country, unfortunately.

We give up degenerate and harmful "interests" sure (murder, theft etc.) but we certainly don't need to give up any what we believe in just because of some irrational attachment to a certain state.

It's difficult for me to imagine what in your mind would justify extrajudicial disappearances. You don't even account for the immorality of certain laws, you assume that the law _IS_ morality. Quite interesting, indeed.

If that's how you see it, literally everything costs money at some point in the line. So I guess nothing is free. But we have a word for it, so let's give it an actual use. You enter at no cost (with exceptions, of course). That&#

Way to completely dodge the question. The question was not "Why should we allow the public services to run at a loss in the short term?" The question is: Why should public services aim to produce profit?

The ultra-patriotic education in the USA, coupled with the absolute demand that you adhere to and essentially worship the hyper-capitalist economic system, damages minds and leads them into being swindled by this type of charlatan. We shoul
