I'm impressed with the state of 32kbit AAC streams. You could fit almost 6 minutes of that onto a floppy, and the quality is much higher than an 8-bit MP3

That was my assumption as well. I imagine a worker being chastised for gluing "bricks" to the wall over a window in the wrong orientation, not because the wall will fail, but because they won't look right. https://

GP said that the motivation was racial, you said that the motivation was law and order. You can determine motivation better from future actions than from past context, and the actions showed a bias towards incarcerating minorities. If the i

Why can't I tell which side is up without looking at it or accidentally changing something? Why is the black IR sensor the same size, shape, and location as the charging port, but on the wrong side? Why can't it decide that a log

I was going to say those are knives, but I defer to wikipedia: "Cutlery is more usually known as silverware or flatware in the United States, where cutlery usually means knives and related cutting instruments." [ https:/&#x2

Privacy is a spectrum. You can choose to be at one end of it, but not everyone shares your opinion. As a local app your data has a different legal status, and you actually have a lot of control over the execution compared to a web service.

I don't think this puts enough emphasis on the fact that it is a local client and not a web service. I see some people here griping about Electron, but the privacy implications of being a local app are way more important than the perfo

This is the difference between American and British usage of "[upper] middle class". Americans use it to mean "[upper] middle income", which unfortunately discards much of the understanding conveyed by the British usage.

This is horseshit. She had an engine explode and shrapnel ripped apart the fuselage, it’s not remotely a “one engine out simulation”. Was the wing damaged? How badly was the fuselage damaged? Was the plane actually on fire as the indicators

A competent adversary won't carry cookies between sessions, so there is no security afforded by it. These cookies are solely to track the general population.

I avoided it because the team had previously sacrificed the stability of SproutCore to make it “web designer friendly”, and Ember was more of the same.

According to your summary document, 1001 has a number of requirements and limitations. It would not surprise me if those were meaningful. You are arguing that there is no additional benefit to being sworn in before Congress, but it is not t

That’s not the same as perjury, and relatively few people have been convicted of this. If it were “illegal either way”, then there would be no point to swearing people in. A decision was made to not swear him in, and he knows this.

Is this a trick question? I would build another one AND charge $600 each. Developers build for clients with money, like landlords.

No, you would build more if you could.
