Do you mind elaborating? I can see how the user's ability to 'place-order' might be rejected between the access check and the order creation but that would be an extraordinary edge-case that does not need to be accounted for

I can't speak for Canada, but for the US I think it's important to acknowledge that leading up to (and beyond) the "years of ACAB and calls to defund the police" we had/have rampant police corruption and lack of acc

I'm not an expert but I do own an MK3S+, from what I can tell: - OOTB ready-to-print is a big one. There's a bit of a learning curve to calibrating everything on the MK3S+. It took me a few days to get mine dialed in and I'm

This is basically what civil forfeiture is designed for (although it's being severely abused). The cops arrest you and seize all assets that are suspected of being used in or obtained by the suspected crime. This has been heavily abus

Maybe not standard definition but I view a library as something that can be swapped out of a project with low-medium effort. If I build an app on React, there's not much chance I'm ever going to swap it out for anything else, thus

It's not even state-wide. There are some really good schools in California (and not just wealthy areas).

GFYS has trickled down to many non-EV dealers as well, in my experience. I visited a Subaru dealer in a high-population area last year and was told that they had one specific model coming in one specific undesirable color coming in about 4

IMO "fixing" is the act of forcibly setting prices across a market, whereas "discovery" is informing your customers with up-to-date pricing info and letting them decide whether to adopt it or not. If you need to get on t

These things are not all equal. Of those, Fortnite and Roblox specifically target children. IMO as a parent, Fortnite is relatively safe. There's only so much interaction you have during a game and it's easy for kids to avoid p

It's not about being prevented from doing something, but moreso when it's convenient & economical. Just like when you're running low on gas (but not out and not in a rush to fill up) you might plan a visit to a discount

IME many companies claim 99.99+ uptime but then the penalties are trivial. If a 99.99 SLA is busted with an hour of downtime in a month but the penalty is 5% bill credit, the company just lost $500 on $10k revenue, assuming that: A) Custom

I regularly see clips of very popular Twitch streamers being openly sexist, racist, and abusive. I'm curious why a single mention of a taboo topic on an AI-generated channel warranted such a severe response.

Let's not forget about spending money per-email when messaging an inmate (and paying extra to include a photo). Is that program administered by the state? Do the funds go toward paying money owed to victims or funding the prisons? Nop

Two examples: 1. The FAA basically handed their risk-management keys over to Boeing when authorizing the 737-MAX, contributing to those deaths ( https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/how-boeing-and... ) 2. T

I've heard on a few podcasts that this is how European countries do this. We need to stop letting for-profit companies gamble with the health and longevity of the species in the interest of profits.

The most impressive/unbelievable part of this story is that 2 Word files, created separately, ended up with the same exact file size. I'd assume with all of the Metadata they cram in that this would be unlikely.

Anecdotally, there areas of my town (and adjacent towns) with a Kroger-owned store across the street from an Albertson's-owned store. I expect this merger will quickly result in the overlapping stores to be closed, those jobs to be lo

This sounds like a fun time to run an experiment with getting an injunction against Stripe. Next time it happens, rather than doing a chargeback, sue them for the actual amount in addition to all of your time spent dealing with it. Then s

My understanding is that US carriers don't support Sender ID at all, so having the caller ID/sender ID spoofed is not common (and maybe not possible?) on major US carriers. Whenever I get phishing SMS they always come from a rando
