I would expect that the bankruptcy proceedings and any future civil lawsuits are the main avenues for individuals to seek individual redress. If I were an individual, I wouldn’t really care about how the criminal charges were structured,

There’s a big difference between adding a 10-min option and removing the permanent option though. Plus, it’s notable that apple didn’t use the same 1 hour / end of day / forever system that they use for location sharing.

That lines up with 6‰ — that symbol is “per mille”, vs the similar “per cent” or “percent” sign “%”.

I assume woodruffw is referring more broadly to what used to be called the military-industrial complex, in addition to direct military staffing. The gist of the idea is that the Department of Defense is a (the?) major funder of all sorts of

I’ve been on a few flights in which the seat reclined by swinging forward, rather than pivoting backward. So, the impact of the recline was fully experienced by the recliner, and not at all by the person in the seat behind.

Well, Martin Fowler is a tech guy who writes largely for an audience of tech people. It’s that surprising that tech jargon would find its way into his musings about a piece of tech he’s learning about. And certainly doesn’t have any bearing

Personally, I’d rather click a link to MDN docs than most other sources, so if you had some way to expose pass-through attribution from devdocs, that’d be useful at least for me. I wonder how many engineers think about search results link o

This looks great! MDN docs are pretty strong. Perhaps devdocs is a superset, but if not, I’d recommend indexing them as well. Also, feature request: it’d be nice if the query help unfolded the instructions in-line with the current page inst

A human driver slows down and moved their head around to get a better view when the glare from the sun is too strong to see well. I’d expect a self driving car to similarly compromise on speed for the sake of safety, when presented with unc

I think jjuel means bread and crackers and pasta and whatnot when they refer to low quality carbs, not sugar itself. Many forms of carbohydrates are trivially converted to sugars such as glucose when they hit our digestive system, and so ar

Yes, and if you include the Russian bits the size comparison changes considerably. In my experience, when non-Europeans say “Europe” they mean something like “the union of the EU and the EEA and the UK”. They probably exclude Russia and a f

I don’t think that’s true any more. IIRC, the high resolution codes were disclosed to the public in the late 90s / early 00s, and there have been no efforts to rotate them since. Extra precision can be achieved with fixed-point augment

I’d argue that Lord Acton was correct when he said that power tends to corrupt and that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Age limits are an easy (but slow) way to defeat the loopholes and issues with term limits, and make sure that those
