Technically, yes! A perfect example of an edge case that I knew would be difficult to find. Very clever!

IANAL but I'd like a license that goes something like this: Companies: If you are working for a company/corporation/profit-generating entity, or otherwise intend to sell or use such code derived from this repository for profi

Can someone with information on the caste system chime in on how caste members recognize one another (especially outside of their native environment/homeland where cultural modes of expression such as clothing may be vastly different)?

Definitely, those Apple-supplied cables suck hard. Adding little tension relief springs[0] to the ends can protect them if you don't want to buy another (or more robust) cable and create more e-waste. You can find the springs in clicky

It's kind of sad to me that Apple doesn't make Lightning an open standard. In all my years, I haven't had a single Lightning connector fail on me. The solid metal where the contacts reside is just too robust to wear out or ge

The universe is infinite and continuously expanding. This cosmological scale, the monumental distance between celestial objects in deep space, would make it quite literally impossible for any extraterrestrial to feasibly be aware of or make

There are no "roundabout morals" here. This man told 110,000 of his employees to return to the office or find another job, during a still-surging pandemic. This is immoral and reckless from any angle. If his net worth is reduced,

Good! They say the wealthy have a better chance at success (especially when it comes establishing businesses) due to their huge financial safety nets. It would be nice to see this table turn for once; the 1% shouldn't always be able to

I like to see it as an unsolved problem. Similar to when Diffie and Hellman revolutionized cryptography with the concept of public/private keys, I like to think that one day, a revolutionary proof will drop that demonstrates a true tru

Thanks for chiming in. I've been having some difficulty expressing my thoughts lately so sometimes I don't make the most sense. Yes, I definitely agree with you--democratization is a much better way to put it.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Privacy is first and foremost a discipline and a practice, just like security. It's a form of self-respect, in my eyes. Some would say it's even a natural human right. Commoditizing it is

As intended. There is no better way to influence someone's behavior than when they have the feeling of constantly being watched. It's about control.

It's okay because we're just servants tied to our bank mortgages with little to no say in what the elite shareholder-run private sector dictates behind closed doors (and in which the legislative elites are also privvy/permiss

I think that's the point they were trying to make. I can see things from their perspective: it is pretty antisocial and callous to focus solely on material things when the fact of the matter is that somebody has passed away.

George Carlin wasn't wrong when he said houses are just a place to put our stuff. Why are we all so attached to stuff? I've found myself slowly letting go of material things, and with that comes a feeling of tranquility.

How do you define success? The answer to that is rooted in your present unhappiness, but you have the power to redefine success. From an outsider's perspective, your life is the one that I want to live, a life I would call successful!

We should use the white noise or turbulence generated by our PC fans as entropy sources. Brownian motion is one of the best entropy sources we have.
