This is about as far from "popular kids make fun of nerds for being weird and nerdy" as you can get. It's more like two different groups of nerds having a nerd-fight about which kind of nerd is the better kind.

I think our ability to evolve, adapt, invent, and assimilate will keep us ahead of the game longer than others might, though eventually it will lose efficacy. The Chinese government is too genocidal, militaristic, and authoritarian to permi

And yet that doesn’t constitute even close to the majority of developers.

Mac is a small slice of the software engineer market, and mostly in the web-app/mobile space.

No, it isn’t misleading at all. Narrowing a constraint is learning something new. It could very well have gone the other way. Or in a way completely unexpected.

A constraint on the domain and range of values is a detail. Restricting the possible range of action for a force is certainly something physicists look for.

There’s not a lot of room for all that stuff.

What about relief pilots on long trips or in the event of incapacity? We could keep going I think: there are numerous downsides to maintaining an egress unreachable from the cabin and, given the ability to lock down existing doors, few sup

Countless documented instances of asthma induced by the dander of drug/bomb sniffing dogs or just dogs in general? I have asthma and have occasionally reacted to animal dander—but never in an airport or other location due to service an

I have never heard of any life-threatening allergic reaction to any drug or bomb sniffing dog. Has that actually happened? If so...how, when, and where?

Then how would pilots do things humans need to do, like go the restroom or eat (on prolonged flights)?
852.
by sidlls 5y ago
This report doesn't indicate any fault or blame at all on the pilots: they reacted with reasonable actions to the circumstances as they arose. The only possible nit one might pick is the PF's delay in asking for the PM's assi

That's a rather extreme response. I don't know what the markets are like in the Netherlands, but I can't imagine the dynamics are much different from other regions where this sort of issue exists. That is, it's a combina

Statistically it stretches credulity to the breaking point for an outlier be an outlier year after year, whether it's in this or any other area.

HIPAA compliance has many loopholes. Providers and carriers (insurance) are bound by them, but random private companies are not generally. Most covered entities are going to insist anyone they share data with also be compliant, but it&#x2

This assumes humans consciously and continuously make decisions by a thorough and comprehensive review of their own interests. In practice this can provide a subtle influence without having to undergo that depth of analysis.

Are you suggesting most other places, including those with counted paper ballots, don’t have multiple offices to elect at election time?
858.
by sidlls 5y ago
Not really. Most of the US is run on a very opaque system of electronic machines and poorly thought out processes ostensibly to make it more secure.

Tribalism has a very strong presence in the US.

Whole countries with public counting of paper ballots have election results faster than we do. The phrase "voting system" is an absurdity. It highlights the overly complex, bug-riddled lunacy we have now. A lockbox, under guard wi

These people are cognitively impaired on a deep level. There's no argument against their beliefs, because their beliefs are a word salad of conspiracy theories and absolutely insane fantasy. Many of them should be in mental health faci

It's a fantasy many have, yes. It's an almost desperate yearning for some. There's a lot of overlap with the survivalist/militia types. These people "plan" (such as their limited, stunted mental faculties permi

That’s more or less where browsers are (or are heading rapidly). It’s dumb and terrible and has all sorts of issues: but it’s also cheap and easy, and often that’s good enough.

You're suggesting that an answer which explicitly makes "area" a synonym for "market" is a defense against the suggestion that using "area" is an attempt to obfuscate that they're really referring to

It’s not that complex. Judges aren’t computers, and the words of a law are not an imperative program that judges “execute” against the evidence and arguments. The attempted ruse isn’t that clever, and it’s more likely to piss a judge off th

No rational person is going to see “Area” in this context as anything but a synonym for “Market.”

Sometimes people are just arrogant and want to make sure their audience really knows they (the speaker/writer) really know more.

You might be surprised what autistic kids care about. I have one, and that kid has an amazingly well developed sensibility about certain things, far more advanced than his peers’ and even a good fraction of adults.
