Because premiums will rise across the board, so people with an insurable interest pay premiums set for people who intend to gamble or manipulate their insurance. By demanding an insurable interest, insurance companies keep out gamblers and

The premium would be 1M. Maybe .99M if they have reason to assume not everyone will be fraudulent.

The difference between gambling and insurance, is whether you have an insurable interest. It makes the market for insurance much better if everyone actually has insurance. Because it reduces cost. It also keeps the industry legitimate, prev

I doubt this is relevant for EM waves. Water waves are much more complicated because the wave speed in water is highly frequency dependent. That makes things much harder to model. Whilst in optics (and thus EM) people have been reasoning in

If you come up with a new system, you're going to want to integrate AI into the system, presuming AI gets a bit better. If AI can only learn after people have used the system for a year, then your system will just get ignored. After al

I've only done the three wheeled one, and that is a never again. It's like training wheels. You can't lean in a turn. Besides that, the steering was weird because there wasn't an axle, instead the entire middle of the fr

Byte swapping is equivalent to needing to do encoding and decoding. Is it not?

My uses of mmap have only over been memoization. Where I didn't care about byte order, and instead just assumed the files wouldn't be portable between any two computers. If you are going zero copy, you either need to give up on an

Your comment is unsubstantiated, and I haven't been able to find any source that confirms. The downvotes seem reasonable to me.

If this were coordinated with a ground attack on Hezbollah, it would be a great way to disrupt any defense right before it needs to offer resistance. I'm surprised they used it out of such a concept. It is almost heartening, because it

I'd imagine a backup timer, with the ability to trigger early if required for strategic or tactical purposes. I almost surprised this wasn't coordinated with (or saved for) an incursion into Libanon. That seems to be something Isr

The point was that the US government regularly accepts civilian casualties in trageted strikes, so it would be hypocritical for the US government to complain now. Notably, this doesn't apply to anyone who hasn't supported such str

It is also a great way to ruin a company. Especially if you are pandering to the wider market.

I loved the article, but something about it felt off. The content (good) didn't match what I would expect from the style. The writing style reminde me of a mix off business advice and aggrandizing self-help. My expectation with that is

identification is different from authentication. But authentication at least as a backstop, can generally be decently outsourced to government. Not so much in the US though. They have no national registry of what citizens actually exist.

World population is rising, but most prosperous countries have falling birth rates and are either shrinking, or barely kept from shrinking by immigration. This is a problem. It means many more people are born into poverty and a life where t

TLS will protect the data, but the same encryption also does a lot on the control plane. That can still be a big issue.

So many-worlds says that the waveform doesn't collapse to a kronecker-delta, but to an average of multiple ones that 'don't interact'. Is this conjecture, do we see this in some specific toy systems, or do we know this i

I have heard, and like, the theory that 'waveform collapse' due to 'observation' is due to entaglement. Specifically, the idea is that most of the world is quantum entangled, 'observation' then has the effect o

So what you are saying is that the capacitors are effectively shorted with the motor coil, and hence they have a drain resistor that has effectively no resistance?

If they want to really do it wrong (or right, from their PoV), they require the communication with the base station to be signed with a certificate signed by their root CA, and put the private key of that certificate in the TPM.

You add an assertion in the indexOf method that checks the substring is indeed present at that index. Then you run your system tests where the indexOf function is called a bunch of times. The unit tests might be better at testing more edge-

by rocqua 2y ago
No, a unit test is a stand alone bit of code that sets up the environment, runs a bit of code (the unit under test) and checks if the code worker as expected. This does tend to use assertions. The idea of using assertions, is to put the ass
