If it's as easy and reliable as it is with Postgres (and I'd suspect it is), the answer is in my experience yes.

Well, I'm going to replace my comment. I'll just let yours stand as evidence of the kind of thing that happens when you ask for compromise on such a strange issue.

> People don't become alcoholic Perhaps you're right, and we need to treat our countries addiction to guns instead of trying to reduce the supply.

What do you want? It's an honest question, but I think that part of the problem is that gun rights are at a sort of apogee in this country - I don't really have much more to give.

This is the kind of thing that deserves study and debate. But when study is cut off from federal funding, and debate constantly suffers from a lack of trust, we're really screwed.

That's awfully euphemistic language for a huge fireball.

From the other side, I also feel like the adversarial nature of the debate has gotten completely out of hand. Democracy is all about compromise, but when it comes to guns people just go off the rails. Here's how it feels from my point

The obvious difference is that the gun industry is opposed to making it easy to track down guns. There are no powerful financial interests fighting for our data privacy.

I worked on a PDF text extraction project once, with scientific articles as the primary target. That stuff is really hard , even when the text is ostensibly present in the PDF (as opposed to the PDF being an image of text). Thing is, it&#

The problem with limiting monkey-patching is that it's used extensively and with great variety in Rails (and other popular Ruby projects). Monkey patching, done correctly, will "settle" over time. That is, once your rails ap

Hmm, perhaps useful for a teaching tool. If used as such, it'd be really nice to be able to go the other way - a regex explainer if you will.

Yes of course people are wired (if you mean influenced by genes and environment) to seek out and use substances that fulfill a psychological need. Not only is this the dominant view in the various recovery communities, it's supported b

Heroin use is absolutely self medication - it relieves emotional pain as well or better as it does physical pain.

There's no black market for cigarettes or alcohol though. Tax heroin at 50% and it'll still be cheaper than it is on the street. The fact that these goods are cheap to produce but highly inelastic means that the government can m

The fact that many people are prescribed highly addictive drugs (adderall, opiates, and even in some cases, methamphetamine (under the name Desoxyn) without becoming addicts gives the lie to the second statement. In fact, merely using drug

People often confuse addicts who refer to themselves as addicts for life, which is a useful psychological technique to avoid thinking that can lead to relapse, with the idea that addicts are incurable. It's unfortunate, but a bit of e

Sadly you're probably right. But you can always hope to have planted a seed.

I'd really like to see this kind of analysis applied to a larger sample. If someone were to put together a little app to make this sort of data collection trivial and upload it to a central (preferably cheap) repository, would people b

Plea bargains are pure coercion. The ability of a prosecutor to threaten you with almost arbitrarily severe punishment means that a plea bargain is a much better option than rolling the dice with a jury trial. Whether or not you committed
