But we do issue them based on things that unbiased experts would never call probable cause.

I would argue that ip address is trivial to falsify (though certainly not as trivial as an anonymous phone call).

For quite a while github looked like a cheap gitlab knock off rather than the other way around due to gitlab actually innovating and adding new features and github stagnating. Now that github is adding the features that gitlab already added

Another feature copied from gitlab. Not that that is a bad thing.

If the kind of consequences you suggest actually happened when this stuff is done then other officers probably would stop defending this kind of activity. Instead, nothing happens to the officers that do this kind of thing

I do believe he is in fact claiming what you call "a pedestrian claim about the disparity between our sense impressions and reality dressed up in very provacative, but ultimately content-free, dressing". How I read it, but using y

For what it is worth, this is how I feel about many philosophical arguments. Personally, I enjoy thinking about and talking about these things but when it comes down to it they are not likely to affect my behaviors at all.

Looking through the history, it doesn't look like this article has had significant discussion even once. Why is this a dupe?

Every single job across industries that I have ever worked at (and i've only worked in the US) has been inflexible on hours and location.

For at least some time, the police are likely to adjust by being more violent not less I imagine. Though you are right, in the end it'll probably even out to some positive changes.

As another not a Ph.D. i'm not convinced from what I know about Ph.D's that a higher than average IQ is actually required. However, I do agree that "grit"/"will-power" is definitely required.

I'm not a gitlab employee or anything, but I'm curious: How is gitlab CI not flexible enough for you? I mean, it basically just runs arbitrary docker containers. From my mostly amateur (when it comes to this, i'm a profession

I like YNAB, and personally I like the SAAS version as I found having to sync via dropbox annoying and I'm a linux user so having to run it in wine was also annoying.

Your post further up in the thread: > Calling BO a backdoor is a major corruption of the word, as you loose the only word for describing intentionally weakened security - so that you may describe a thing which already has several more ex

I think you are spot on for rootkit, but you are absolutely wrong on backdoor. You say "This conversation is the best possible example of why we can't allow the corruption of previously well defined words - it causes confusion for

To be fair, you can do a large amount of subdomains (I don't remember the limit) with one certificate request on letsencrypt. Of course, if you're going to be changing them often then it becomes a real PITA.

No, that's wrong. Wikipedia has definitions that match my own knowledge, so i'll link and quote those. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit "A rootkit is a collection of computer software, typically mal

Linus has publicly said that he is very happy with having chosen GPLv2, he just doesn't like GPLv3 and doesn't like dealing with it through lawyers. Copying my comment from reddit when this was discussed last week: > As the thr

Yeah, something that doesn't often block legitimate traffic would be wonderful. Edit: As informed, I was confusing cloudfront and cloudflare.

You mean the awful gatekeeper of the Internet that soft-blocks tor and causes problems with legitimate traffic (tor or otherwise) across the world? Yeah, that one. Edit: As informed, I was confusing cloudfront and cloudflare.

Let me use something besides awful cloudfront and I would so do this. As it is, I just run it in my amazon VPS that I have for other things anyway.

It definitely can, though it won't be as easy as just storing text blobs in the database like is the default rails way.

Personally I like a "revoke all clients" button in addition to the system you describe.

My point isn't to invalidate your experience, but to invalidate your idea that since you worked hard and made it through everyone else is able to do the exact same thing. Regardless of all the other points brought up, what if they just

You do realize that, assuming taxes work like they do today, it'd be 90% on the amount over 250k/100k not 90% over the total income? Assuming you realize it, your point must be that only having 10% effective increase in income aft

$230 extra above living expenses is not attainable without title loans or something similar for many in America. Not to mention that if the laptop breaks you have to know how to fix it yourself or pay $100+ to fix it (or buy another new one

As far as special medical needs, if we'd go ahead and switch to single payer/otherwise socialized healthcare while we're at it then the job of making sure that the disabled have enough would not be basic income, but the healt
