It is certainly a place to start! Although in this case I never heard of a developer wanting to build a parking structure on their own (and don't know if existing code would have prevented them). It was always the city wanting to build

Without other rules or planning to compensate, it creates a tragedy of the commons where every builder wants to offload their parking needs onto the rest of the neighborhood in order to save money. I lived near a neighborhood that had older

While all those are cases where LEO had legitimate reason to have access the information, none of them provide a compelling reason why a warrant couldn't be required. The third-party doctrine has become far too broad. There are so many

Yeah. If someone was to say their clothes had hook-and-loop fastener, I would never think of velcro. I would think of the metal hooks and loops (or eyes) on bra straps, old jackets, dress pants, etc.

I wouldn't consider that a tax dodge at all given that the New York State Tax Department had previously issued advisories stating that the way that B&H was accounting for their sales taxes was the correct way to do so[1], and what

The theming was the main feature. It was like winamp for your entire computer. The other thing that was rather remarkable was how fast it was despite all the bling. After the initial novelty wore off, I used it with toned-down themes for qu

E16 hit 1.0 in 2009 (and is still maintained), disqualifying that older code for 0ver. E17 was released in 2012 and as a major rewrite it is considered a separate project.

And it's not like GNU is unique in having other documentation beyond man pages. Most FLOSS projects these days use man as a simple summary of command-line arguments, and have the rest of their documentation in HTML. The BSD folks are t

They could do the same with current licenses, either temporarily or permanently. When I was in my 20's I had a stack of old but unexpired drivers licenses because having your current address on your license makes makes some things easi

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to talk about the m68k being a 1979 processor, when Motorola continued to develop it and release new chips all through the 80's, and it continued to be used in new Mac and Next computers up through the

It discussed both personal actions and regulations as a counter to the current status quo. Regulations often limit what can be done, and probably will have to if they are to be effective given how legal consent has become watered down to th

This data from 2018[1] indicates that the most frequently driven car models are driven 25% more than average, and the least are driven 75% less than average. That is individual models, which you would expect to average out over multiple mod

Clicking through to the lending tree report, Tesla drivers have below average DUI rates: 1.02 per 1000 drivers ranking them 19/30, with BMW the worst at 3.13, and Mitsubishi the best at 0.89. I wonder how much of this is due to Tesla d

> Amtrak has routes to most regions No it really doesn't, and even if it passes through a region, the routes are often pathological, like in the worst case a trip from Denver to Dallas having to pass through Chicago or San Francisco

It's not just price. Amtrak routes cover a tiny fraction of the routes that greyhound does, and likewise only a fraction of cities/towns have airports. At least in the past, Greyhound was often bundled with Amtrak to complete trip

I think this makes more sense (or at least gets more directly to the point) than any of the Stack Overflow answers. Lowercase is easier to read in print as our minds learn the shapes of the words and can interpret whole words at a time rath

I disagree. The cuts are focused on commercial operations roles, not engineering. I see this as a sign that the adults have entered the room, and realized more work is needed to get the technology ready for commercial use rather than trying

But regulators have done that going on a century now, and it has held up in court. The FDA has long lists of definitions of what you can and can't call chocolate, milk, cheese, beef, etc.

The BIOS never reads the logo image from OS partitions on a drive. It either gets it from firmware stored in flash on the motherboard, or from the EFI system partition on the harddrive. Thus dropping the logo file on ESP partition or reflas

You are assuming that your developers were perfect and write sites exactly to the standard every time. In the real world they don't and XHTML lost, so all browsers tolerate and mask non-compliant pages to various degrees and in various

None of that negates the need to test on various browsers to ensure compatibility.
