Yes. The current situation is funny since it's a game of "what's the most effective limit to tell people to stick to" rather than "what's the most effective limit to stick to". Maybe once all cars drive

Plus you will be filmed and put on YouTube if the confrontation lasts more than a moment. This alone is enough to inhibit me.

How did you deal with the come downs?

Your lease being reviewed... if you mean by some kind of robot lawyer then I doubt it. Lawyers have the best trade union and have successfully resisted the Walmartization of their trade for decades and I can't see that changing in th

I agree. It can also go the other way though. I sometimes order almond milk from Starbucks. If I give the order to a human I can make some judgement as to whether they have misunderstood and correct them, or outright ask them to confirm

It really helps to have a Googleable name. You will get adopted faster and your community will grow if people are able to Google "enable 24 bit color Guacamole" rather than the generic alternative. Also generic language simply c

I love the replies to this. Not to shoot any one of them down, but it makes me wonder what would it take for us to admit 4chan are smarter?

They are. The times I've been caught were clearly my mistake. Those times and various close calls have been cases of almost symmetry. I've also done things like building two identical units in series or parallel and watched myself

My editor does this independently of VCS, so that's not an issue. I get it, "last saved to disk" is a save point that is meaningful to you. The world you can move to is a world where you can have any number of these save po

Yes REST tends to mean "web API you don't hate" or "web API written less than 5 years ago" and is heading towards just meaning "web API".

Between undo, local history and VCS I have exactly that, but much more too.

I mostly live in my IDE and its editor doesn't have a concept of unsaved changes and doesn't ask. Meanwhile it has undo/redo, browsable local history and VCS integration. What's the benefit of having changes unsaved?

Commercial private medicine and commercial private medical insurance are legal in the UK and do exist although the markets are fairly small. If anything private medicine is less regulated in the UK than it is in the US (for example it'

1) Reduce your physical vulnerability (diet, sleep, exercise) 2) Act on emotions if they are justified and you can do so effectively 3) Behave the opposite way if they are not, with sincerity 4) Identify soothing activities you can take ref

Yes! I often find myself making this point -- i.e. that the supposed problem indicates that the reader has made an incorrect assumption about an imaginary elision. Cf. "5 items or less [stuff]", "$5 or less [money]".

This site is great and I used it daily while I lived in London. Perfect for mobile. It's a real kindness of the creator to have kept it so simple and consistent over the years. I can't think of another site with as good a bytes

Exactly. You're not choosing a language, you're choosing a platform. If people chose "languages" then yes, Java would be a hard sell, but so would C++ and much of the rest of the top ten.

To be clear I'm claiming that the individual sports themselves are socially constructed, not that "betterness" is. Women's bodies have advantages in flexibility and stamina. Had women been socially dominant for centuri

That would work if we didn't tend to organize events which favor men. As it is, athletic and sporting events have mostly been constructed around male affinities so your supposed indiscrimination would result in women being sidelined on

Sure there are all the political reasons to wonder. And also, Trump made a lot of specific pledges such as the wall, repealing Obamacare, cutting corporate tax rate. In each case it's easy to say whether it was done or not. So there

Also good because it means you are your own 0th brother which makes sense. In the western version you are your own -1st cousin :(

Are you non-Jewish by any chance? I've had a great time in Israel as a tourist, but often wondered whether I'd be able to fit in there as a non-Jewish (and non-American for that matter) person. I'm not overtly religious in

I have no idea what effect the walking is having, but would point out that wealthy non-new Yorkers have other routes to attain the benefits of walking, such as gym time and hiking trips. You can't say the same of poor non-new Yorkers.

Ah GEM and Basic 2 Plus! My parents wrote a retail system (cashier, stock, orders) for their store with this and it's still running today (via DOSBox, the hardware is long gone)

Would there be a first amendment (freedom of speech) argument against such an outlawing? If you are not allowed to say things which the government doesn't understand, then your speech isn't free.

Your agenda in your pocket wasn't subject to unconditional dragnet surveillance. Copies of it weren't going to find their way on to security contractors' systems. Such copies wouldn't have then been stolen and distribu

Thanks, that actually made me feel more optimistic about it, although I hadn't thought of the issues you raise. Keeping a camera charged and working shouldn't be harder than other maintenance already needed such as keeping a fire
