> What currency could replace the dollar? I think the comment is that the danger to the dollar is that people are asking this question. I can think of 3 possible answers to what could replace the dollar. 1. The Yuan 2. The Euro Distant 3

I suspect that's why a competent government might invest more in these tracks as they might contribute a lot to delivery infrastructure. Especially in a consumer-based economy where shipping goods is important.

I'm reminded of the 'surfin bird' family guy episode where Peter is fishing for a prompt to sing surfin bird, and Brian in-good-faith bites, but Stewie yells at Brian for doing the bad thing. It's like we've given u

Stackoverflow could help answer specifically targeted questions about how thigns worked, or suggest areas of debugging. They couldn't/wouldn't take a direct question from an assignment and provide a fully working answer to it

As originally written this headline is sensational. As now written, I would be surprised if this wasn't a bad estimate. Either way it's a meaningless number guessed off the cuff. How much boilerplate code exists that gets generate

The dumb thing about this, is that the republicans are going to blame democrats whether or not they do anything. Play dead is a really dumb idea because it looks exactly like the rest of the democratic do-nothing strategies. Someone needs t

facility is intentionally broad. I think the point being that all of those things are being provided by the University to many researchers/students/professors. The point is that separating out what gets allocated where, when t

That's not how facilities work or are accounted for. Facilities are common to all of the university. It doesn't make sense to force this individual requirement on each grant when the University has hundreds of ways it is using a g

It isn't law, but why does the principle exist in law? That's what I'm asking you to think about. Why would judges who have to make decisions about people's lives do this? Is there a good reason for it? Yes there is.

You don't go and decide a case on the merits when you've thrown it out on standing. Addressing the other question is a pre-requisite to considering the one included in this piece. And given that they are ignoring the presumable

The overhead is what makes research possible. How do you do research without a lab, or a building?

Because our system would fall apart every 4 years when a different party started diverting money to their cronies. How corrupt do you want a nation to be?

Take a read of the constitution? Why do you assume that the person you're responding to is "jumping to conclusions." Feels like you're just ignoring what they have to say in the guise of "asking for more knowledge&q

What is "a lot"? The question is pertinent. Additionally, the follow-on questions are irrelevant. There are a million better questions to ask on the other side of this as well, before we ask why someone can't live without the

There's a reason that court cases typically address standing before addressing the underlying question. It matters much more that you're taking on a case before you determine the case on the merits. If the case doesn't have

I think the concern is that this on its face seems like a pretty egregious thing for an administration to do in a politically motivated fashion. It seems like they are pushing the bounds of what the public is willing to put up with. I think

I don't know that I have the brainpower to analyze 95% of the forum posts on here. And less to determine what I think is "better", so I guess I'll drop the point.

Then they weren't obstructed. They're just shit at their job. If I know you're in a building and haver permission to arrest you, it's not "obstructing arrest" if you use the back door. What if your car's p

Why would I trust that an "entertainment" network like fox news would provide a good legal analysis of how a judge messed up the law? LLMs are worse than this. ICE has been regularly overstepping its bounds and going after people

This is honestly insightful to me in a way that I struggle to relate to one of my family members because I try and make appeals to logic and the truth, and they make a ton of appeals to people they think I would find to be authority figures

I feel like people need to understand how they are impacting the path of least resistance when they make a change. Your change is only successful if the path of least resistance must now go where you want it to go.

How would they be risking it? Who is incentivized in this system to say that this product is actually coming from China? Is it the US government regulators who just lost their jobs? Or the Businesses themselves who don't want to pay hi
