From eye-balling the chart, it seems to consistently lag. Am I mis-reading it, or is this not actually a predictor?

Soap is mostly for helping to remove dirt by helping both scrubbing and the mixture of oils in water. I think it has some side-effect as an antibacterial due to pH or something, but it's not inherently a bug killer (of course, you can

I thought it was obvious the speed is essentially irrelevant to the democratic process in the context of minutes to count. The extent of the competition over seconds and minutes here is bound to lead to some mistkaes, and I would question w

Exactly this. I often hear such things from politicians who sound like they don't understand the topic, and it's usual at a point of "weakness" for civil liberties such as after terorism events. I assume it's just a

I've always found it bizarre that nobody questions this behaviour - where is the discussion of accuracy?

Right, but as a user experience you get a phone that either annoys you into switching off all the features that can be used to bug you, or annoys you endlessly because you don't know how to switch it off, or doesn't have it on by

So did AMD CPUs: "For years AMD’s processors for business PCs supported additional security technologies (collectively known as AMD Secure Processor and Platform Security Processor before that) enabled by the ARM TrustZone platform wit

This seems like a complete inversion of the service incentives. The initial reason to use Uber was huge convenience and service quality. Uber Lux/Exec (or whatever they call it now) offered a vastly superior service to taxis for a ~20%

I don't think the answers here really make a clear case that tabs are the cause of the IDE/editor problems. People intentionally introducing incompatibilities (mixing tabs & spaces, setting their editor to convert) seem to tbe

I think there's probably some truth to considering existing norms and thinking ahead, but find it unlikely to be the main confounder. How do tabs fail to work in other editors/IDEs?

The article doesn't set the standard based on any kind of cogent argument. It assumes the ideal is what people say it is based on instinct, and the result is not 100% extreme, but it is pretty extreme. This is even more true if you con

It's not a strawman. This topic is now so fashionable as a news item (regardless of your view) that people will target any kind of inquality in western democracies as inherently wrong. What counts as extreme? Has much really changed

Are you saying that, having read the article, you think the answer is no? If so, having read the article, would you trust The Intercept to deal with a hypothetical leak by yourself? Or are you saying "I didn't read the article, bu

The article does lack any sort of depth. However, it sounds like you're opposed to the headline itself, which seems to be true, and you haven't refuted it, have you? The article does indeed mention the prison population has declin

I don't think that's the relevant point, as they are two separate things: 1) was she discrimated against?; 2) as the parent says, are her subsequent actions legal grounds for firing her regardless? She can be a victim and still su

Yes, I ended up using pre-defined shortcuts for common areas. It seemed like a massive downer after paying money for it, but in the end covered 95% of my use-cases acceptably.

I always used Divvy for this, but IIRC it's paid only. Looks like a nice start.

Not really. You could easily argue (and I would) that people simply don't value it highly, on average. You are free not to visit websites that track you, or use various other technological solutions (Tor, private browsing, ad blockers)

Bit off-topic, but the end of the article lists the three reasons the original deal was cleared. They seem naive to the point of absurdity: Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp were "distant competitors"? They are number one and two me

The idea isn't to let everyone live at median income with no job. Most would suggest that the basic income level could be set below current minimum wage, more like current unemployment benefits + basic subsidies. That would probably be

Yeah, naively using errexit won't get you the whole way. BashFAQ, ShellCheck and StackOverflow have quite a bit of information, and you can often write things that are pretty robust if you take in all the information. Particular cases

The UK is (for now) part of the EU. If we believe the original article that it's illegal in the EU, then it's illegal in the UK (this is likely to be the case even after Brexit, judging by what is being said about the legal proces

It varies by country. I'd think most in the UK consider "dryer" to mean heated dryer. I've found condensation dryers do a sub-par job and heated ones are fine on the low setting.

How do laws change? Are the changes ever retroactive? Do laws ever exist on the books longer than they are enforced or considered moral? Seems like everything is black and white for you, but reality rather disagrees. Anyway, there already a

Not really. There can be whistleblower protections that supercede other laws and contracts. There can be illegal contracts, which are not valid regardless of whether you sign them. Do you believe every issue is governed by a single law that
