Unexploited overflows are like unproven math. You don't know the truth unless somebody happens to succeed. It's a matter of a stubborn smart person putting in lots of clever effort and getting lucky.

There is a natural ceiling on the costs for daycare and career, at 100% of the mother's income. It can't get worse than that unless you just like to pay money, because the mother can care for the kids. Having 2 or 3 kids in a city

It depends on how you count: 1 unborn, 1 miscarriage, 2 legal adults still here, and 10 others. That could add up to 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14. All are from the same mother. Car seats go in rows 2 and 3, since those are easiest to reach from th

Don't forget the 5th row. My van has 15 seats. I'll fill the final seat this summer. The safety problem is that most drivers can't deal well with a suspension that lets the vehicle movement lag well behind the driver inputs.

Fiat cars are pretty cheap. Sometimes a Fiat is the only reasonable option. That was the case when I bought my smallest car. Despite the small exterior size, the 500L is really roomy on the inside. It works for a person who is 6'10&quo

Physical troubles lead to being not athletic, which leads to mortality. For example: a bad knee joint prevents most exercise, leading to obesity and then onward to diabetes and heart failure. Physical activity sometimes causes those physica

That is because the cash-for-clunkers program, intended to help the automobile industry, sent the older cars to be destroyed. We crushed perfectly usable vehicles. That's like breaking windows to help the glass industry; it is not so n

Public transit spreads viruses, both old and new. It helped put us in this mess. It'll spread the next virus too. We have a huge problem if people get used to relying on a transportation method that needs to be shut down when a virus s

It's a mutual agreement to strip each other of troublesome property rights. These people aren't exempting themselves. They want to prevent tragedy-of-the-commons troubles, spite houses, and other anti-social troubles. They mutuall

With increasing wealth, per-child cost goes up. It's self-imposed of course. Getting a larger Porsche or BMW or Mercedes is going to be harder than getting a larger used Hyundai or Kia. At the extreme, you're just out of luck; the

It deals with two lines of input. Probably the ";" should have been "&&" instead, so that either failure will end the loop.

What exactly does a hand recount confirm? What is the point, when the accusation had nothing to do with counting? The accusation is that fraudulent ballots were mixed in with the legitimate ones. Recounting the contaminated pile tells us ex

Amusingly, the author is clearly one of those who are "generally unable to understand or value democratic culture, institutions, practices or citizenship in the manner required". The one-sided blame makes it clear that he can&#x27

That is a fine argument for why the phone company should be free to disconnect anybody who speaks ill of the phone company.

The USA is 161 to 171 years older than India, judging by independence or the current form of government. Going back more, both were part of the same country. I don't think there is a long-term option to avoid hitting resource limits. I

All have the same mum, with the oldest being 21. We're in Florida, in the sort of small-city environment that looks like a classic suburb but is separated from urban areas by lots of rural open space. Empty space for humans is not in s

If a 1-liner run manually counts, feast your eyes on nearly a kilobyte of awful bash: for i in raw-* ; do cat $i | expand | egrep '[A-Z]{3} +[0-9]{4}|/2021' | sed -r -e 's!08/(..)/2021!aug\1!g' -e &

Having kids later in life is a good idea, but don't forget to also have children earlier in life. That may bring you great grand children and beyond.

Nothing is certain. It helps to be a likable and outgoing person. It helps to make a huge family.

Despite being your nightmare, with my 13th kid due this summer, I'm going to agree with you on the farmland. Paving over San Jose was a terrible thing to do. San Jose was the best place to grow apricots. In general, all of the Silicon

I knew a colorblind person with a Graphics Design degree. He got by by using a color picker to read the RGB values. He ended up switching careers.

Taking "engineered in a lab" to mean modern genetic technology, there are possibilities beyond that and all-natural. Remember that we modified wild polio to create a vaccine many decades ago, long before modern genetic technology.

It really is weird. Normally the supreme court only hears appeals, so it only rules on matters of law. It wouldn't normally rule on matters of fact, wouldn't normally call witnesses, and wouldn't normally have a jury.

It is. The government is expected to prevent tragedy-of-the-commons troubles, spite houses, and other anti-social troubles. This is largely why we even have a government. Suppose a person buys a house to retire in, on a peaceful quiet littl

Reality is that adding armor is trivial, but hitting critical components (small parts) is not. EMP protection is standard for military systems. The military already deals with the logistics problems related to batteries and fuel. The prefer

It's interesting to question the presumption that it is acceptable to sell a company in a way that gives foreign control. Not every country allows this. China is growing very well with it restricted.

ITAR or even classified The robots are practically weapons. Imagine the 4-legged one chasing you down like a large cat could, then pouncing on you. Imagine the 2-legged one with armor, relentlessly stalking you like Terminator.
