When they've already lost most control and are panicking, yes. But it's completely normal for cyclists to wear reflective clothing to make themselves visible. Even cars have retroflectors on their taillights for this purpose. No r

So less than the 2008 stock market crash, yet people still think they can get rich on the stock market. You're making the mistake of being wowed by a huge number without knowing what its size actually means.

Except the horror stories are appearing with Stripe now. Really, the only safe way to transfer money is with traditional banks. But they have higher transaction fees and are slow, so maybe an occasional loss to Paypal is actually better tha

The New Zealand government is working on a central bank digital currency but it has requirements for AML and terrorism funding so they refuse to make it anonymous. I'm sure most governments are similar. They just need one reason like t

It's not clear what the actual license says so people are speculating a bit. Something I found on the Wayback Machine is "Neo4j Enterprise Edition is dual licensed under Neo4j commercial license as well as under the free Affero Ge

This has to be too simple to be the reason, but I immediately thought it's because exchange opening hours are less than the closed hours each day, and since stocks generally go up, more of the increase should happen at night on averag

They must be recycling enough of it to recover their £30. They may dump the unrecyclable parts into the ocean, but nobody doubts there are unrecyclable things mixed in with it. It can't be 100% recycled.

As long as people understand what's a safe level of contamination. There was a problem in New Zealand a few years ago when somebody misread a document describing the level of meth residue that should remain after cleaning up a meth lab

A lot of that stuff is internal industry knowledge that people learn by working for a company that already does it. It probably started out with people experimenting. You don't learn that in a mechanical engineering degree. Though prin

It's probably those same people who publish their code under open source licenses instead of giving it to the public domain. I don't understand why people cling so hard onto every worthless little bit of code they write while also

Isn't that in 00A0-0137 which it says it supports? Æ, Ø, Å and lower case?

If you have even less time, just think of them as representing physical measurements made with practical instruments and the math done with analog equipment. The common cause of floating point problems is usually treating them as a mathemat

The common name for that is "inverted classroom". Not exactly chairs bolted to the ceiling but more descriptive than a person's name.

Replace "corporate profit" with "social good", which is what it generally comes from, and then is it still sad? You seem to imply there's something wrong with corporate profit. We as society want and encourage corpo

If they're self-sufficient, they could survive. Human population on Earth has bottlenecked to less than 100,000 in the past and we recovered.

Draconian punishments aren't a good way to protect ancient relics. It only takes one person to not even know what the site is, let alone the punishment, to ruin it forever. Also, it's cruel read-a-news-story desire for vengeance f

Nobody lives nearby. The "Null" in Nullarbor isn't just for fun! The cave is in the middle of a desert with a population of 50 and the desert is on an isolated coastline with such centers of population as Border Village Roadh

You don't seem to have addressed your parent's point. A creator can post a paidlink link on their own site. You already know they're not a scammer because you're part of their happy fanbase. So you trust the links they p

Is that SMS codes or an app? How can you know they're being sent to the dead phone when it's dead? Maybe they were never being sent to that number at all? Obviously there must be a process to gain access when your phone with an au

In some countries, commissioned work belongs to the buyer by default, even without an explicit agreement for payment and even if the buyer never pays anything. This can be a nasty surprise. Probably not applicable to him but with all those

Could that actually be legal though? The system must be pretty dysfunctional to allow people to circumvent tenants rights so blatantly. There's no way that would fly in New Zealand. You can't deny your tenant access to their home

Was there any evidence that the nicotine was what helped, rather than the smoke or something else?

It's a water repellant. My guess is that it's hydrophobic and causes the water to bead and roll out instead of smearing over the surface and clinging on.

Same problem their website has. And every website. You can still find out who someone is without relying on the platform to to the identity checks.

In New Zealand, water work is regulated so only a licensed plumber can do it. The prime minister was once investigated by the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board for installing her own toilet. Her punishment was having to apologize :

I don't like limiting anyone to older versions. As the OP said, it's difficult to maintain. You'd have to be aware of every bugfix and improvement so that when they want a feature or bugfix, you know to direct them to the lat

I agree. It also, it's too political to take one thing seriously on its own. After so many people have nailed their egos to the belief that social distancing and isolation, as well as mask wearing, etc. are very definitely good and tha

Nobody was ridiculed for advising people to keep their coins in their own wallet. You were probably ridiculed for saying crypto is a ponzi. But Bitcoin's and Ethereum's prices are consistently higher now than they were 2 years ago

Isn't the whole idea of requiring FDA approval to protect patients from harmful or ineffective drugs? If having and administering whatever drugs you wanted was legal, then how can anyone be protected? No doubt, they're still getti
