I don't think punching someone falls under strict liability, and I don't think DoS attacks do either.

That might be a factor (and I've entertained this idea myself!) but Elon is also shown to be impulsive and tyrannical enough in his public words (and leaked communications) that I don't think this explanation is actually needed.

If I'm adding something weird and funky that requires a long explanation of context, it goes in a comment (or even an ADR). If I'm removing it, it goes in the commit message. (Those are not the only situations, of course.)

Holy shit, could I... write thank-you emails this way? :-O I find thank-you notes horribly difficult to write for some reason, especially when the gift is not well-aimed (which is... usually, to be honest). I often end up skimming through 1

Somewhat similarly, I recently became a Special Depositor at new mutual bank that's in organization (Walden Mutual). This involved sending them a few thousand dollars, which will be part of their pool of capital for making loans. I can

You're correct that concentration is important. "The dose makes the poison", as they say. But it's not about being "comforting", it's about having a heuristic to make decisions when you don't have eno

One import distinction is that artificial chemicals were not part of the environment our bodies evolved in, whereas some of the natural chemicals were. Furthermore, most of the natural chemicals would be more closely related to other chem

I'd start with "how do they make their money". Google makes money selling ads, for example; they're primarily an advertising company that happens to have some other lines of business. You can also look at how they differ

I had only read up to Joel's self-correction (last message of Nov 18, 2022) and my impression was that the TrustCor rep was being evasive and kept changing her story. For example, the CA doesn't operate out of Arizona, that's

Last I checked, they still didn't have a useful Content-Security-Policy header on their Web Vault (which would prevent XSS), and also didn't have a way to separate "being logged into the extension" from "being logge

I can't relate to this at all! If I have a broken clip, I can't get the plug to stay in for more than about 5 minutes. And I never route the ethernet cord somewhere where I'll trip on it...

What's with the assertion that countries would go to war over a hasty AP report? Pretty sure military action would be taken based on the same primary sources that the AP was relying on, not just taking the AP's word for it...

That seems like overactive pattern-matching to me. Yew is a plant.

But the site's still up, still available over Tor, and still has domain names (in other jurisdictions) that point to it.

Not just "change in microbiome". It caused a change such that a gut flora transplant to mice caused the mice to have the same glucose reactions. So the artificial sweeteners change glucose metabolism, at least partly mediated by g

I can give a more detailed response later, but... « Escaping is a function of the consumer, not the producer » This is incorrect. The producer emits something in a language , be it HTML or JSON or HTTP headers or whatever. Data must be enc

It's not, though. It's the easiest thing in the world: Just use a library that never emits unescaped content by default, or if you make a single-character typo. The problem is that most of the libraries aren't that.

What happens if the message processing fails, e.g. your message bus broker is down -- is there a way of signalling to Postgres "hey, try me again later"?

Or perhaps more like 12 hours, as half of the Earth would be exposed instantly. But even then it depends on whether it's the direct radiation that's the issue or something more indirect (atmospheric changes, etc.)

Wikipedia points to the 3-clause BSD license. Looking up the text of that, there's no mention of patents. Software licenses primarily deal with copyright -- the ability to control how a concrete representation of an idea can be copie

They probably spend a huge amount of money on combating fraud. Whether that cancels out the unwanted profits from fraud? I have no idea. But you can expect them to be spending a great deal on getting rid of it.

Sorry, I meant to say electrical heating!

It's important for people to know that at least when it comes to heating, "100% efficiency" is actually the worst possible efficiency . That's just thermodynamics. You can only get better than that.
