   I didn't say anything about presuming guilt. More like a law enforcement officer having increased situational awareness when responding to a call of a violent crime. Nor did I say anything about a cop taking anyone's guns. They ha

   I can see, in some ways, the point of being targeted by burglars. The same burglars who see the box of your new big screen tv on trash day (or dive for receipts), or who case your house for a few weeks before Christmas to see what you;re un

   I would suggest that my approach to any conflict resolution would be tempered knowing if they owned a cache of assault rifles. We already have access to other information as a matter of public record, I really don't see a problem knowi

   I'm not sure thieves would specifically target a home where the owner is clearly known to be able to defend such a theft with swift, lethal force.

   I'm an American, and I have no problem with responsible gun ownership, nor do I have a problem with electronic records of gun purchasers. I assume FOID cards are in a database already. If I was a law enforcement officer responding to a

   I've been meaning to do this sort of thing for a while, and after reading the comments here, I've decided to embrace the glow from the display when I make my frame. Using a strip of addressable LEDs, you can emit a glow around t

   We use GitLab wikis and the "gollum" gem locally if we're in the mood to have a UI locally without having to go to GitLab's site.

    I agree it's a knee-jerk reaction, but it seems that study is warranted rather than just praise. Seems like an interesting plant. From a November 2015 paper entitled "Following 'the Roots' of Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa):

    I do something similar but different.. I take a long sequence of random numbers, using only digits 1-8, like 29834572498741387972573179875938893507418675309 Let's say that goes on for 105 places. Each user then gets an auto-

    That's not a very inclusive or productive thing to say, please don't do that.

    I'm going to throw in my recommendation for Postmark (postmarkapp.com) for transactional mail. Solid, reliable service for us.

    I can attest to the staying power of Empire's jingle here in Chicagoland. Especially their phone number, included in the jingle here. That, and (see if you can complete it in your head, Chicagoans): 773-202- And the jingle for the Kars

    That's precisely the point, I think. Our impact on the physical planet over the past 60+ years can be seen in the geological record of the planet, not the archeological .

    It seems that you're really saying that your values are immutable. For the rest of us, it seems we follow the line of thinking that, if our mental model (or "struct", if you will) has values (or types with fields/pro

    I may be missing something, so I'd appreciate a correction, but why all that effort when you can use collections.namedtuple and a custom object_hook for json.loads? import json from collections import namedtuple data

    I don't think a deity or a politician or a wealthy philanthropist will save us. We're beyond saving. I think I can teach my kids how to help save themselves and their like-minded peers, those very peers that would leave this plane

    I do appreciate the sentiment. Truly, I do. It occurs to me that my pressing "submit" on that first comment was actually an important milestone for me, mentally. Through the years of my watching my species demonstrate the law of t

    You seem to be overlooking the part of those predictions that deal with the societal effects that the forced migration of entire cultures would likely entail when those groups try to ensure their own survival as they leave behind their home

    I would say, yes, the economic theory of the "tragedy of the commons" is a major part of the issue. Good thing that the modern counterparts to those theorists have come to understand that the solution to the tragedy of the commons

    I guess my line of thought on my kids leaving this world for another has an additional assumption: that they, and the others who would do so, would leave to escape not just the planet's climate, but the people who screwed it up for the

    I've come to the (I feel) inevitable conclusion that we are already well and truly fucked. I will still do what I can to slow the inexorable slide into worldwide famine, war and anarchy, in the hopes that the majority of my children&#x

    Self promotion is commonplace, acting like a non-interested third party with effusive praise when you're really affiliated with the project... that's when there's a problem.

    I'll leave the MS politics out of my comment, and just summarize my suggestion [0] to handle this sort of thing. A module that has exported module members allowing you to opt-in to future breaking changes now could be added to PowerS

    They clarified that the files are signed by PKI now . Notice the order of the words "digitally signed [files] are signed using secure [etc] in newer platforms " It suggests to me that the previous signature style was a symmetric

    That's not it, and I think you know it. If Thiel supported any candidate that championed the importance of the press to an informed electorate, it would be better. But right now, he supports a candidate who openly states his desire t
