No, the quote from s 53(3)(b) refers to a defence. You are not in possession of the password if sufficient evidence is adduced to raise an issue ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidential_burden ), and the contrary (ie

I agree, Wikipedia's style guide is great! I think it strikes a good balance between prescription and flexibility, eg. being able to use local date formats and spellings in articles that relate to that locality.

Generally Piketty is dealing with inequality produced by differences in income from capital, not labour. His reason for focusing on capital income is explained in depth, especially in chapter 7. In short, the distribution of capital ownersh

According to this article, the only countries to allow direct marketing to consumers are New Zealand and the United States, and doctors in NZ noticed a dramatic change when direct marketing became prevalent from 2002. Toop L and Mangin D. T

Surely not. The example given was a faulty throttle on a car. If that breach of warranty results in serious injury or damage to others, I suspect you'd want more than a refund.

It's interesting that blackboards are almost exclusively used to teach mathematics these days (at least in my experience at university). It's still much easier to do maths by hand than with a keyboard. Is that just a side effect o

I tried to express my comment in a way that made it clear I wasn't attacking the parent. I realise that 'straw man' is centuries old, like many of the terms that are now coming to be supplanted by inclusive alternatives. Of c

I had to look up the Secret Service because I thought it was strange that the President's bodyguards would be interested in a suspected counterfeiter. Apparently their protection role was introduced after their primary mission, which i

At the risk of further derailing the thread, I wonder if there might be a more inclusive term than 'steel man' — I don't feel great about using that phrase to describe 'the best possible representation of a position.&#x2

In my experience LaTeX is quite poor at separating content from presentation, at least when you're unwilling to rely on the default styles. All the layout commands are context-sensitive, so I often end up writing presentation code in t

Encryption just makes it difficult for your ISP to automatically throttle your torrents. Anyone can still download the torrent themselves and see that you're an uploader.

I always thought those voluntary retirement schemes were weird! Another interesting feature of the schemes is that they need to be individually approved by the taxation office,[1], probably because payments under them are tax-free,[2] while

Lambdas (in Python) are just syntax; it's usually better to achieve concise Python code using list comprehensions. The critical feature for functional programming is first-class (and higher-order) functions, which are supported and enc

You're essentially using the length as a(n extremely weak) secondary hash in that case. That might be sufficient to disable one known MD5 exploit, but if you're worried about vulnerabilities in your primary hash algorithm it would

In my experience the dependency graph often has many more nodes as well. I'm not sure if this is because Haskell code is especially reusable or Haskell developers are especially lazy.

That's not a sandbox problem, that's the cost of developing in an AOT-compiled language. Sandboxes do require you to recompile Yesod and all its dependencies (> 10 minutes) every time you start a new project though, which is pr

IDEs can be great for writing code for particular platforms — I don't think there are many people writing Objective-C or C# in vim — but it's hard to imagine "ditching" a general-purpose text editor for a platform-specif

You can only do that if you already have shell access (in which case the vulnerability gives you nothing). The remote exploit works because untrusted users can put code into an environment variable, but the target needs to create a new bash
