No, I don't want the government to get involved. I hold the (probably far more radical position than you) that government is not entitled to secrets at all, and that all government employees should be live-streaming their activities to

Amazon.com is their US site. If you're there, you've effectively walked into a store in Seattle. If you want a store not tailored to the US market, you'll need to visit one of the sites they've made for other countries (

POSIX specifies that there are 86400 seconds in a day. POSIX is not making claims about reality, it is specifying its own reality. That's what standards do. ECMA-262 isn't really relevant at all, since it's not the (or even

They're really not competing at this point. 7159 is the one spec to rule them all. ECMA-404 (which was kind of silly to start with[0]) isn't really relevant to most developers anymore. ECMA-262 even explicitly uses 7159's pre

POSIX specifies the Epoch to be UTC and has since at least 2001. People may have other opinions on how it should be specified, but if you're going to follow POSIX as it exists, you're not left with a choice in the matter. http:

A pointer in C is a reference (see ISO 9899:1999 § 6.2.5) under siege by nasal demons (see § 6.3.2.3). The implementation isn't really required to do many of the things people assume it is. (It's ironic, by the way, that in seekin

Your resumé says you live in a state that expanded medicaid. Eligibility is now entirely income-based, NOT asset-based. If your current income is below the cutoff, you qualify for medicaid, period, end of story.
