For what it’s worth, so far there is no evidence to indicate that you can. All this paragraph points to, at best, is that the US Commerce Department thinks that you can. In fact it’s not clear whether it does, because it’s not clear who sug

Typically “your health” is not considered part of what “you own”, but more often than not is very much on the line during big bets. Not for everyone, and not for every bet, but the loss of it can have an extraordinarily disproportionate tim

My reading of the Vox story you linked is that Apple started Apple TV apps off at 15%, then the 2016 change standardized this rate to all video streaming apps (which makes it seem like it could have been a simplification of the rules overal

The article you linked talks about indigenous people being murdered, not committing murders. So what do you wanna really say with that?

It's true that the problem space of “accounting” seems, at least to me (I likewise don't have deep experience), somewhat more constrained; indeed, accounting seems very specialized. Perhaps one difficulty here is that “software en

By your definition accounting is budgeting, and choosing what to budget about, and picking the tools to budget with. It operates within constraints, as programming does, and those constraints likely vary from company to company (inverted co

While it's a bit tucked away, when you are viewing the changes for a PR, there is a dropdown in the top left for “Changes from <all commits>”. You can select any range there to view changes from that range of commits. When you&#x

You can tap-hold-slide to adjust across the whole range, rather than tapping then hunting for the slider. You can also set the touch bar to show an expanded control strip by default (which includes a volume up/volume down/mute tri

Indeed, thus “another approach” :) There are several different approaches trying to tackle this same problem in the space, some further along than others, and typically all with different tradeoffs and at different points in the system. e.g

This is a perfectly reasonable setup for these agreements. If your spouse is not working and you are married, it is either through mutual agreement or inaction. Fundamentally a marriage is about mutual navigation of life. If you are failing

The trusted party can be factored into a decentralized network as well. This is what our team is working on with the Keep network (we've considered dead man switches as potential applications for a while).
