Reminds me of Eliot Spitzer. An executive can't use corruption of process under them as a shield or all corrupt executives would rely on damage to due process to be unaccountable.

If I have not understood the post then it is probably their communication style. They lay out a bunch of things to fix about a system that could bring down your browser. What if that system that communication with Google about GCP messed up

I didn't really get that comment in the OP. There's not an API that gives you your entire stored credit card information? Right?

In general there are a lot of factors, in the example you give I would point out that it relates to cargo cult followers of a poor summarizations of best practices. TDD/BDD proposes a world where all things work and remain working when

Then you have to get out of all the work you were assigning them yourself. Much better to leave it to a specialist!

That sounds like a true scottsman argument. Naturally any therapy is hard to perform perfectly to get the full placebo effect and a single blind experiment is almost as hopeless as double blind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Searching on X-?Ray debugging, I see a lot of products from separate vendors so I think it's valid to consider XRay alone a general industry term that is based on an obvious analogy, so disputes hopefully have to relate to an entire tr

Probably. If you should look at the python implementation and the standard libraries it uses and the kernel you are using they are all primarily in C and in rare cases of other languages they are setup with FFI that favors the thought proce

Software patents are a construct of the legislature that hands out a template for privateers to create liability. I wouldn't want to do anything in the US market.

Having flat mates is not always easy but makes a huge difference in the quality of your life and makes some level of socializing a regular part of your life instead of an optional project to attempt.

If 10% of engineers in your country end up working for a foreign firm, wont SE make more money and have less costs vetting remote postings? There's plenty of opportunities they left on the floor because they didn't like the best d

I don't get your comment. Paying $500 to reach many candidates is not expensive in headhunting and they didn't claim to have a problem finding enough clients. $50 would make vetting more necessary and cover less of it as well. (SE

It is pretty funny to defend Apple (or any other browser vendor) using the argument that standards are unfinalized. Running living standards was the coup done by WHATWG, a.k.a. browser vendors. https://whatwg.org/faq

I'm not sure I agree with your last point. The merchants have historically been powerless but the merchant side bank ends up patching things up to fix it's own costs. Often this patching means penalizing merchants with products th

Music has had radio and playing an individual song is very close to fair use. Further, music sort of has the same cost to produce, though big band is an exception. Because of this, legislators actually establish rules for commissions to be
