editorializing: (of a newspaper, editor, or broadcasting organization) make comments or express opinions rather than just report the news News isnt to tell us how to feel. That's a pretty serious rule to break.

What is it with people saying we need to sugar coat, bubble wrap, and insulate our tender egoes from the reality of the world? Psychologists have a term for that. It's called denial.

Yeah. So if you skipped 60 seconds on a 30 second commercial you'd cut into your program. Hence the identification requirement.

How is it any different from ER doctor, coroner, social worker, or investigator?

It creates a time series of frequencies then checks a db for that same series. A problem that is easily parallelizable. Probably does some filtering first. It's a very useful and clever application, but not that technically challenging

Just find someone else who has it and ask to add your radio to their "family plan", it's only a couple bucks

Just because it can doesn't mean it's tolerable to have one core of their CPU eaten up just working on AES all day. Plus if it wasn't task set to a CPU you'd see massive latency hits on disk access even the CPU could kee

I'm not your enemy. I don't even know you. So please send me your passwords to your online accounts. And I'd like to take a look at your home computer. So please install VNC and open your ports on the router so we don't

sampling inspection. Not a hard software check: `assert ( numWelds == 30);` Or a camera that takes a picture of each vehicles undercarriage. They probably thought that was unnecessary until now.

That's not awesome that you hacked the system to prescribe yourself anything you want. At best you're going to get the least efficient path to treatment. At worst you could miss a serious condition and kill yourself.

That's a feature, not a bug.

There's clearly not enough in deposit to sustain this model. In the US, a large majority of people don't have enough saved to last 3 months.

How much does the transaction cost eat into the coupon though?

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that "coming for your jobs " is completely overblown and no different than automation throughout the previous decades. Isn't there a separate shadow issue of lack of diversity in the market

Depends on your swimming ability. You can easily drown if you panic when large waves land on you and force water into your mouth/nose. or if you get swept out by a rip current and don't swim sideways and keep your cool. Don't

That only saves a few characters. And "map" is already a data type in C++. How are you going to explain to a student that ambiguity, that you can "map a vector, but oh yeah map is also this container type" ? Conceptually

How would you ensure nothing was used in the region after the original allocation?

The Nevada gaming industry is lobbing heavily to legalize them. So they can target younger demographics.

There are laws in the US that ban using any machine that enhances your ability to win, even if you never tamper with the machine. This covers attacking the RNG by analyzing past outcomes and predicting future outcomes of the machine. Not wh

It's troubling because when I worked there as a developer their journalists seemed to be really on their game. I loved the UX of their site, and the articles seemed thorough, well written, and always relevant.

What if there was a "cash back" rebate available inside the venue? So TM sells each ticket for $1000, and you get $500 back once you get inside? This would make it very expensive for scalpers to be left with extra tickets. There w

I think the ticket should be matched to a government ID or passport. Drivers licenses have barcodes on them. Sell cheap tickets that rewire ID and sell "unlocked" tickets for 2x as much.

It's the same effect though. Regardless of pathology.

I hope Los Zetas see the opportunity here. They could net a few million from running their playbook on a newly minted crypto-bro thinking he found a "haven" for his money.

Ah, so exploitation of the middle class is okay because it's only temporary. Gotcha.

Laws that exclusively protect shareholders. That's the problem. And most of the population doesn't have the resources to lobby Congress to roll back those laws the way financial laws were rolled back. The fault for that inequality

Often it's just that the two companies are aware of each other's policies. If they've heard of Company B and know it has a non-compete they just reject you.

You're woefully confused about the meaning of "personal attack". Calling out unsubstantiated claims is anything but personal. Faith based arguments are irrelevant and unwelcome here. Stay factual with your accusations and you

Such a great land we live in where a CEO is investigated within weeks by criminal justice agencies for making a few tweets, but during the 2008 crisis other kinds of fraud (approving loans without verifying income, robo signing of &quot
