Far as I can tell, it's not so much that you're actually culpable. But someone can sue you for it, and it won't be immediately thrown out, which means you may need an expensive and time-consuming defense. You'd probably

This is about what I was thinking, there's a bunch of decent hosting services that will give you a real low-end server for $5/month. Can anybody who is currently going to college in a first-world country not afford that? There&#x2

Who were almost certainly appointed long before any of those issues were of a concern to anyone. Exactly what are you attempting to prove by that statement?

To further clarify the sibling's point, the reason for this is that the Progressive wing of the Democrats couldn't convince people to approve abortion access through democratic means as soon as they would have liked, so they decid

> It's lazy, it's abusive, and it should be illegal. I really dislike "it should be illegal" for things like this. It's itself a lazy solution against a hard problem. It seems to often be used as shorthand for &q

I don't think that a compact fusion powerplant specifically is needed. But I do agree that a truly self-sufficient Martian colony (I.E. able to exist for more than a few years without ships coming from Earth) would need a gargantuan le

This project seems rather in need of a summary of what it is and what it does. How does it compare to for ex Sqlite?

Seems more like all this stuff is tied together in tricky ways. Why bother learning to read if the only supply of written text is people hand-writing it on fragile paper or parchment, so getting even a single page of written text is super-e

When I was using Google Calendar for work, I'd let that do desktop notification because it helped keep me from missing meetings. Other than that, no chance. Turned it to default-deny instead of default-ask so I don't have to deal

It seems like RocketChat is popular with these groups, Oathkeepeers apparently had one of their hacked. What I'm wondering is how these hacks are happening. Is RocketChat itself insecure, or are they using poor sysadmin practices? Or i

I think the parent was commenting not on the ability of disfavored groups to use encrypted chat to organize, but on how readily the current social elite can be scared into banning anything by telling them that such disfavored groups are usi

I don't know if there's any universal etiquette, but personally I find it highly annoying when people abuse notification levels. Most room-like chat systems have a way to notify everyone in the room, like @here. IMO, you should on

Seems like the real and hard truth is that, at anything resembling our current tech levels, human spaceflight just doesn't add much value compared to the massive, overwhelming difficulty. We've sent hundreds of robots all over the

No, it's absolutely right to harp on the CDC for this. If you intentionally tell a lie to people in order to manipulate them into doing something for what you think is the greater good, you set your own reputation on fire. The truth ab

I'm not any kind of neurologist, but intuitively, the ways in which people seem to learn things varies so much from person to person, it seems highly likely to me that there is no universal format in which our brains store knowledge of

I like the reminder that this is out there and mostly available. I think many of the comments here are missing the point - they're saying it's useful for small-time projects with one or a few users and not needing to be integrated

There's probably no point in going much faster for most control systems of physical devices of the sizes we're talking about. The actual response time of actuators and time to see the results of changes on sensors is much longer.

It seems to me that hiding a risky implementation is the problem. If you were directly shelling out to `mkdir -p` yourself, it would (hopefully) at least be obvious that it's a risky thing to do, and you need to make sure that either t
