No need to overreact. My point was that prisons are often exempt from local legislation regarding smoking in indoor public places, in the US and elsewhere [1]. I find this to be strange - it seems to punish prisoners who don't smoke ov

> Your solution to inmates having crappy lives is to impose even more arbitrary restrictions on them? What about the other prisoners and guards who don't smoke having smoke imposed on their lungs? Isn't that ridiculous? I'

The one in the article mentions it. I shouldn't have generalised to the whole US, but my point stands for that particular prison and others like it.

I agree, it's crazy to take away ~1/7th of someone's life - during their most productive years - for theft. Are we to believe that it takes 10 years to "fix" someone of their theft problem? Did it take 10 years for

And the fact that smoking remains legal indoors in prisons. I get that there would be extra stress from withdrawal for new inmates, but it might let them quit a nasty, expensive habit while they're in. Plus, it's bad for the healt

How does this reduce spam? All it tells you is which site sold or leaked your information to the spammer.

What's worse is when the unsubscribe link takes you to a page where you can select the reason why you are unsubscribing, and it doesn't include an option like "I never signed up to this mailing list". I've never i

I was expecting the article to mention another use for this attack: to share porn on regular hosting sites and bypass automated detection systems.

Guido van Rossum talks about this in his series on designing a PEG parser for Python [1], now used in 3.9. [1] https://medium.com/@gvanrossum_83706/peg-parsing-series-de5d...

I just read the GitHub readme: > How does it work? You make a request to a hostname with a unique prefix. All hostnames resolve to the same IP, but the DNS server records which IP address the query came from. The webserver looks for this

And my number one gripe, that you can't add a trailing comma to the last list item. Very annoying when streaming JSON data.

Physical accounts in different directories inside ~/.mozilla/firefox/? Those don't get synced to the same account as far as I know.

Does this work with Firefox Sync? I'd love to have different bookmarks/cookies/accounts/etc. for work and home but use the same sync account - sometimes I work from home and want to use my work profile, but also don&#x

Nice! Do you know if it requires a licence to actually install/run, or if it's completely free now?

I guess you'd also need to look at possibilities that the laser light with the "safe" energy density of 10 J/cm² can't get focused by accident, e.g. by glasses or windows and whatnot, giving a higher and therefore p

Not to mention margarine is full of omega 6 oil (linoleic acid) which is horrendously bad for your mitochondria. Incredibly people think it's the healthier choice.

Kerrygold in Germany is sold in the standard gold wrapper but unsalted. I was really surprised having come from the UK where it's salted and utterly delicious. If you want the salted stuff you have to hunt for silver labels, and I have

Possibly, but that seems unlikely to me; I expect there are already loads of interconnects just via normal pylons (but I don't actually know).

On the contrary, at the time I wrote the original comment, and as I write this, exactly this situation was occurring. Take a look at the map and see for yourself - perhaps it is still happening when you read this. I also specifically rememb

The UK imports and exports at the same time (from/to France and Netherlands), which seems to me to just be creating unnecessary joule heating in underwater cables. Is it some kind of price arbitrage? When I did an undergraduate report
