Your claim that an autistic could like you describe is less capable of consent than an average child is illectually suspect and dehumanized. It's also an argument that pushes kids into abusive ABA therapies against their will, since th

The article is confusing. The headline/lede claim is about partial vertical scrolling. The middle is a long detour to partial horizontal scrolling (well documented, including SMB1), and then the end goes back to talk about partial vert

"Unefined" refers to the spec, not the hardware. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undefined_behavior This case appears to be "undocumented scenario" or "unsupported use-case", though.

Do you think live music has higher value than food, even if food is in short supply ? If you had only $10/day to spend, would you spend it on music or food?

The factory worker has a higher standard of living because everything he buys is made by other factory workers at lower prices too. Instead of ten factories with 10 workers making 10 widgets, they make 200 widgets, or 20 each. As long as th

Yes, as the article clearly states: "Only the overcrowded lines in Tokyo (and a handful in Osaka, Beijing, and Shanghai) are clearly so busy that barrier-free proof-of-payment fare enforcement is infeasible."

"fare evasion" is a fictional concept in any city where the massively subsidized automobile culture exists: fuel cost + pollution externality, parking and roads giveaway of real estate.

We shouldn't be encouraging people in developed nations to have people either. They have a much larger carbon footprint. The article you cite explains that clearly.

This is clearly false hyperbole.

The relevant comparison is to 6.41% (nominal), not 4.8% (inflation adjusted) Bonilla's contract was 8% nominal. a 1.59% premium for 25 yeras AND trading market risk for Mets solvency risk is a pretty good deal, though. Mets/MLB ma

What's wrong with degrading from LIFO to a random queue due to client retry, when you're starting from a FIFO that is already failing client expectations?

by papln 7y ago
What's the problem with this? redialing essentially converts the FIFO/LIFO queue to a random queue, which isn't particularly worse. Ultimately, the utility of "lower 50%ile" vs "lower 99.9%ile" is a subjec

That's an arbitrary style choice in the spec. Saying "it's void so never use / " is no more natural than saying "it's void so always use /". Arguably, it's bad style to use the same syntax f

Is cocaine use throttled by supply? Not by the success level of anti-drug enforcement, or demand? Naively, it seems that it's trivial to scale up production of illegal drugs. Growing it is the easiest part. Transport and delivery and

"die-off" seems plausible, but why are all the web-search results for "die-off" showing minor blogs and snake-oil stores, and none of the big medical sites like mayo, webmd, healthline, or mainstream news sites?

There's no distinction between government and private prisons in this regard. Money is fungible. Even public prisons are partly privately run. Government-enforced slavery isn't better than privately-enforced slavery.
