At a place I used to work they did random drug testing, and the only time I saw it happen was right at the beginning of a new year, my boss had one guy tested: the 100% straight-laced Asian Christian teetotaler. Maybe it was actually totall

What is FNAC, other than a French department store?

Isn't that the whole point? I get the impression that Zimbabwe's policymakers have a terrible reputation, so they are deliberately tying their own hands in order to restore confidence in their currency.

Care to share with the rest of the class?

If people are following around UPS trucks, they already know if something is in there, right? The bigger problem with the plan to me is what happens if you get two packages on the same day?

You wear your watch on your dominant hand? That feels very unnatural to me. Just manipulating the straps alone seems difficult, so that's a barrier right there...

From my armchair position, I'd think that this is what error correcting codes are for, aren't they?

>Legally, the State, who go so far as to issue official documents indicating one's legal name. This is a tautology, since a "legal name" essentially means the name the government has for you. They will generally (though no

This kind of "de facto legal" thing really bothers me, because that really just says you are concentrating more arbitrary power in the hands of the justice system. For me, it's not legal until you can do it while calling a co

This is a kind of weird objection. No one thinks about anything other than feeding a baby if you show them a baby bottle. No one would know what you were going for if you just had a glyph of tits, and anything more precise would be needless

I'm not sure that anyone actually reads the "flavor text" on most standard signs in the US, you mostly go by shape or whatever once you know the shapes, so I doubt there's any real cognitive overhead associated with read

Who is the credentialing agent for your name? Your names are generally the things people call you, the things you respond to and the things you recognize as legitimately referring to yourself. When someone tells to their name, they are not

Suggestions without patches are extremely useful when someone gives you a use case that may be common but which you wouldn't have thought about because it's outside your own personal work flow.

I think it's reasonable to say that it's a subsidy to tax everything except one thing, since it makes investment in that one thing relatively more attractive than it otherwise would be.

My general rule is to ignore anything that comes from MIT news as low quality anyway, so no conflict there.

Also not the op, but I personally tend to avoid Qt if I can help it because I prefer to release software under MIT/Apache/BSD style licenses, which is incompatible with GPL style licenses (in that direction), or makes things more

This is a centralized service, not distributed or decentralized? Have you given any thought to making it compatible with federated social networks like Diaspora?

Why is this? The marginal cost of electronic components must be miniscule compared to the production costs of the automobile as a whole...

For the user, the benefit is privacy and MITM protection. Hopefully, eventually browser chrome will explicitly mark non https sites as unsafe (like a red bar at the url).

I really wish that federated services were more popular. I am not really willing to pay the cost (in privacy violations, uncertainty, etc) of a lot of these centralized services like twitter and facebook, but I'm marginal enough that t

This is clearly not being billed as a question about non-disclosure of funding, so you can understand why people might think it's not the smoking gun evidence of misconduct it is purported to be. To me it feels like the headline and th

I can't comment on the other parts of it really (and I don't know the whole story so I reserve judgement), I'm just skeptical of the claim that he was "bought off" - which would imply that he changed his views beca

Hm, I feel like this is way less sinister than it sounds. From what I know of his prior reputation, Will Happer has long made his position on climate change clear, so it's not like he changed his mind when people offered him a big pile

So anyone with your badge (or a copy of it) can authenticate as you? Seems a bit dangerous to me. A second factor seems like it would be prudent.

I imagine they just created it as a minimal working example once they realized the source of the bug.

Does she realize that disrupt basically means "out compete with a better business model"? The headline quote makes it sound like she wants silicon valley to become better, more effective terrorists / warlords.

I don't have a huge problem with individuals running license plate readers, since that is necessarily limited in scope. I meant that it's a bit of a dystopic view to assume that the government should be allowed to have their lic

That's a pretty dystopic view. I'd rather the government not collect the data at all. The massive perpetual databases that are amassing around the world are really ticking time bombs.
