Citation needed? I'm not seeing anything indicating PayPal has a bank charter in the US.

Interesting that the drug enforcement administration can make it illegal to buy something as a chemical . Their name would suggest that they're merely the enforcement arm of the FDA regarding drugs.

Not really, I was well aware of if-with-init and I still found this quite confusing. That one actually shows what the variable is initialized to. This one doesn't.

IANAL, but if you enter a contract with the intent to violate it, is that legal? My understanding is that it's technically illegal (only civil perhaps, but still illegal), the impracticality of enforcement notwithstanding. Also, I have

Honestly, people need to get over this debate. It's pretty irrelevant in a lot of cases. When people ask "what is the model thinking?", they're really asking "what caused the model to produce this response (as oppos

Another issue I don't see how to solve is: how do you even gather the data? That is: how do you even know if someone (a) is doing the same job as a graduate of your program would do, (b) actually skipped a program or its equivalent, an

Unless a program has a habit of sending the majority of its undergrads into PhDs, that part might not be so hard to resolve -- just exclude everyone who does that from the measurement sample.

Second comment for a semi-off-topic question: does the state of matter depend on the gravity? Thought-experiment: take any solid, put it in an infinitely strong cup, and crank up gravity. At some point gravity overwhelms the forces holding

I must be missing something. If something is a fluid... or at least a liquid... that means it... flows, right? Flow speed isn't infinite, so whenever you pull apart a liquid, you'll see some remnant of the pre-flow state. The thic

Well, approval is a different beast from passing tests. But also, that's not how I was imagining this. I was imagining maintaining separate branches on top of each release, only combining them (merge or rebase or whatever) when you hav

Re: #3, shouldn't this be per-domain anyway, rather than per server? If a domain has one server signing and another one not signing then something feels wrong. It seems pretty fine to just look at what the domain did in the past as the

CI doesn't mean doing all the tests all the time though. The expensive tests still wait until there's a major reason to run them. I had the same question as the parent and I still don't quite see why this can't work.
