Personally I prefer a simple feedback system that kicks out bad drivers to confrontation and a need to call 911. Not to mention that there's quite a gap between good service and service that complied with the law. If a driver is rude,

You're arguing a collective good but many opponents of globalization are looking at it from an individual rather than collective point of view.

Some do run around in happy green fields. That's what the step rating on the meat packaging at Whole Foods can tell you.

If you already have an expensive IPS monitor which Mac do you buy to do your design work? There's the old mini and then the really pricey trashcan Mac.

I had the same experience when I went to create a small recording studio for my wife. I figured I'd use garage band on a Mac Mini and connect the mixer to that. I changed my plans after going to Apple's website - I don't want

If each team controls hiring you will end up with teams that have different standards for hiring. That implies that internal transfers will also need "re-hiring". It also implies that compensation may need to vary between teams. I

I used to just use the Windows "Update driver" dialog to manually find nvlddmkm.sys and install it that way to avoid the bloat. I haven't used Windows in a while but it may still be possible.

I lived in Capitol Hill from around 2008-2014 and from what I recall the resistance to Apodments wasn't due to disdain for the working poor. It was that these companies skirted laws by taking advantage of a dwelling being defined by ha

The HTTP/2 protocol negotiation happens with ALPN, which is a part of TLS. It's possible to simply not negotiate or find another means, but in practice there are many proxies on the Internet that assume all port 80 traffic is HTTP

I've been playing this game quite a bit (level 20) and my data usage is a mere 122MB since July 1. It ranks 4th among apps in my overall data usage.

Money alone doesn't win a lawsuit. The reporter who wrote this probably doesn't agree with the court's decision, but that decision wasn't written by Thiel or Silicon Valley. Also, people have crowd-funded legal fees prev

System level integration tests also tend to be more flaky. Both unit and integration tests are useful. Unit tests are also pretty quick to write once you have the mocking setup.

You're assuming a large overlap between top 10% income and top 10% wealth. I'm not able to find great data on this, with most sources just focusing on one or the other. It seems to me though that many of the wealthiest individuals

Secure communication between terrorists is impossible to stop if they show any inclination to do so. This will only impact normal people using major online services. Right off the top of my head a few ways terrorists would thwart this: - Us

The consolidation loan rate was the weighted average of the loans consolidated, so it didn't offer any benefit beyond making the rate fixed. I think the rate ended up being ~5.5%. Consolidation loans also offer a longer repayment timef

If you live in a home you own I think your rent can be thought of as the amount you could have made had you rented it out to someone else. It's not completely equal because there are burdens to being a landlord but from that perspectiv

Suppose you go to Bob's trivia emporium in your browser and a MITM inserts malicious javascript content into the response. Looked at another way: Is there any reason http should not be secured with some sort of privacy and integrity ch

I'll guess that the browser opened several connections to fetch all of the content (to work around broken http/1.1 pipelining) and needed to complete many tls handshakes. http2 probably would have done a better job.

I think you're mischaracterizing the parent's post. Python 3 is slower, offers no compelling features, and uses a string storage model that he doesn't agree with. That criticism does not mean that he or she desires "the

What other language would someone use to write a kernel or driver? Even if you use a higher-level language for most of the logic you'll likely want the core to be C -- amazing considering the language is nearly 40 years old. C is, to m

I'm guessing the news agency with its leaked username/password hired some outside security firm to assess to breach and certify all is good - and that is what cost thousands? Could we have some consideration of what is fair and ra

How is it possible that people don't discuss the GCHQ in the same breath as the NSA? From news reports it seems they may as well be the same agency. Keeping data out of the US isn't enough, and it's dangerous for Europeans to

FWIW I find the Whistle to be a good product. I can easily find out when our dog walker dropped our dog off, and therefore how long she has been alone. At the risk of stating the obvious: just because the author doesn't have the proble

Treasuries are sold at auction, so supply/demand factors in as well. Since treasuries have little to no credit risk and they're highly liquid, people are generally just concerned with inflation. As roymurdock said, the FFR has min

Another anecdote: when I lived in Seattle I knew several amazon engineers and most seemed overworked and miserable. The reputation is that they hire college grads and work them until they burn out. My understanding is that the attrition rat
