   I'm assuming you're trying to corner a point of "You cannot cite a specific law because it doesn't exist" without outright saying it. It seems plain that, at best, Robinhood has violated its fiduciary, and at worst

   An app called Robinhood, named after the archetype of a man who took from the rich and gave to the poor, now blocking people from taking from the rich. I hope the irony is not lost on the general public. Robinhood needs to rebrand and/

   Can we just appreciate the level of moral depravity needed to price fix medication? In my opinion something this repugnant and egregious needs personal executive accountability. I'm willing to wager that many human lives have been alte

   Thanks for pointing this out. I've made a respectable living off web technologies, and the products I've built create value for many people. Maybe it's not the sharpest knife in the kitchen and I'm not Gordon Ramsay, but

    I'm not sure I understand how this is related to pi-hole. Your computer sends the raw domain name to pi-hole (e.g. ads.google.com), and pi-hole returns 0.0.0.0 if it's on the block list. There's nothing Google or anyone can d

    Yep same. I'm a mere web developer that mostly works on Mac. Getting Pihole setup only took me like an afternoon after having an RPi sitting around doing nothing for months. They make it really easy, just follow the instructions. Also

    I run a network ad-block dns (pihole) and consistently 25-33% of all my network traffic is blocked as ads. It's much more than I ever imagined. Now I'm used to a different internet, when I'm using internet off the network it&

    I think you misread their comment... They're saying we should rethink housing priorities rather than look to church. EDIT: I see the confusion now, it is actually ambiguous, maybe you read it right

    Many people see birth and death as a clearly defined ultimate boundary: the final infinite wall; a big blank room forever; the bookends of existence. but our origin can be traced backwards forever: present day; yesterday; childhood; exiting

    I think a large portion of entrepreneurs and founders don't do it because it's a get-rich-quick scheme or a normal path to retirement. It's because it's in their (our?) nature. My stakes are much, much smaller, so maybe

    I'm not sure if this is what it's referring to, but I've never used raw beans for aquafaba. It's precooked beans that are soaking in water that make the aquafaba. By that point hopefully you've already cooked the na

    This sounds like a survivorship bias. I'm willing to bet that if someone such as yourself (who is motivated to learn C) started with a weak/duck typed language, you would have maintained motivation, and later moved onto something

    Am I missing something? The article you linked cites: Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969 ... banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot). It seems to directly apply

    This harkens back to the very old analogy of why you're not allowed to scream "Fire!" or "There's a bomb!" in a movie theater, and that restriction isn't considered an infringement on free speech. Ergo it

    How are they stringing them along? The Kickstarter can no longer receive funds. Do scammers typically provide updates for 7+ years after they stopped receiving money?

    If school starts later then that means work for adults has to start later too. Which means modifying public transportation schedules and business hours. What exactly is "simple" about any of this?

    I've been thru EMT training. It boils down to EMTs not having formal medical education necessary to make a call as significant as pronouncing someone deceased. It's a blanket rule, so even in extreme circumstances like if you find
