Pretty damning that the FDA only issued a report on this after a court ordered them to. I can't really help but believe that this is willful negligence - if some of these have already been banned for use in children's toys, why wo

That meteor is either proof of pre-Earth life, since those amino acids aren’t known to exist in rock otherwise or proof that the relevant amino acids can be created by an abiotic process. If you don’t want to believe the meteor has been con

Just because I know you won’t have a good answer - explain how a Dalit activist being called ‘Anti-Hindu’ when it is Hinduism that calls for the caste based system is not evidence of the exact kind of caste being present at these companies(

The obvious reply here is that WePay/AliPay are also parasitic payment networks, whose parent companies are propped up by the CCP for gains of their own. I also enjoy the spirit of this law, frankly, because China has a default-no atti

A very evocative post but I am always sad to see interesting archaeology being used to assert claims about some biblical passage being literal or historical. There is an interesting conversation about the connection between Bronze Age Greec

Consulting is what the client expects ;) As I work at a "real" consulting company maybe my experience isn't what you want, but I'd just suggest always focusing on networking and remember you are separate from the company

1. Nothing here has any impact on what people in Mainland China believe or what the CCP tells them to believe 2. None of this is out-of-your-mind crazy, and totally believable to find something like this in the timeframe they found it in(40

I had hoped to see one of my favorite recent finds regarding this exact subject mentioned in this article, but I guess not! So here’s a song from a concept album about Basil II the Bulgar Slayer[0] by Judicator. 0: https://www.yo

Not sure what this is really on about, you can easily run a python program opaquely to a user by packaging it as an executable… or simply including #!/usr/bin/env python3 in a shell file and then `chmod +x script.py` on Linux

Could you please share some examples of a very liberal DA in a very conservative state outside of major metropolitan areas? No offense but your response sounds very brainwashed, where the problems in a conservative area are obviously caus

Interesting article; C++ as “C and then some” was clearly an irresistible marketing term for many of the programmers from that time that I’m sure Bjarne indulged himself in saying once or twice too.

Honestly I’m skeptical of this narrative about Russia you’re trying to provide here. I think any reasonable person would agree that having China as an ally is at best a 50/50 beneficial experience… Remember, China is trying to do exact

I was kind of disappointed as I expected this to be the keyboard thing that was leaked to the news a bit ago; seemed to fit just right with their arguments of portability, connectivity, modularity.

It just strikes me as weird. Nobody is going to be impressed by your power stance in some off-brand vans and jeans.

Have you ever read the chapter on Decorators from Design Patterns? I’d recommend that for a full treatment, but basically it’s just a way of letting you add on additional work for a function call to do. If we had a decorator called @log(),

I think you're oversimplifying the argument a bit. Nobody is arguing with your second point, the other poster simply said that increasing police strength isn't a long term solution(or even much of a short term one.) I also don&#x2
