This is a great write up of the problem space. I've also tried an approach here that converted the tile dependencies into a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem and then used the Open Source clasp ( https://potassco.org&#x

Getting really tired of this criticism - the example is a start on encoding Dungeon World/Powered by the Apocalypse rules, not D&D.

Seems like (b). I can't really find any evidence with proof a laptop owned by Hunter Biden actually existed and was somehow found in a pawn shop, given to Rudy Giuliani, then to the FBI, found to be filled with "evidence", th

It's not clear that it's illegal. The federal fraud statutes cover obtaining "money or property" through false statements. A prosecutor would have to convince a jury that the site is engaged in conspiracy to commit fraud

Note that that's an opinion piece and it doesn't appear the author has actually read the U.S. Constitution. Section 8 says: "The Congress shall have Power To... make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and nav

Just want to point out that US states aren't allowed to run a deficit, while countries are, so I mostly agree with this but this hamstrings states like Oregon who aren't allowed to provide relief for strict measures through debt.

Hey folks, I think this is like the third or fourth RPG map maker I've seen show up, but I've been working on this one for quite some time and it's finally ready. I specifically wanted a map maker that was fast (even on my sl

My girlfriend's father in Malaysia watched CCTV and a few other Chinese language broadcast news stations that had stories on what was happening in the US every day, so if the family in Xiamen has a TV then they might not "follow&q

For an interesting contrast, check out the history of cave temples in the karst formations of Southeast Asia. I'm most familiar with those in Malaysia, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batu_Caves . There it'

When you make a statement like "99 times out of 100" it's up to you to prove that with statistics. My initial belief is that you made up that 99/100 number and evidence of people not getting their money back only reinfor

You know that's perfectly legal in California right? You can make a citizens arrest for a misdemeanor in progress or a felony you have knowledge of.

Georgia has 164 deaths per million residents, versus 82 in South Carolina next door and 87 in California. Are you sure you still want to call that a bad prediction?

I guess you're not old enough to remember the original Quake, released with a shareware license where the first episode was free. Someone will probably come along and shake their fist at me, but if Quake isn't old-school, I don&#x

Here's something that I've learned: The VPNs that say they are the “Fastest VPN” on their website might be embarrassed by this. ExpressVPN, PureVPN and VyprVPN... I’m thinking of you.

I can see the usefulness of this project. Thank you for providing this tool. Can you please share some of the things that you've learned regarding these VPN service providers?

1 and 4 are probably reserved for people who lied on their resume and the rare stellar candidate, so either 2 or 3 would be a very safe guess.

Other posts have pointed out that companies have tried and failed to produce generics. Seems like a really broken patent system if the patent isn't descriptive enough to allow competitors to actually produce the product. Isn't the

The indictment does in fact present evidence. Not to a jury, but to us, the readers. It makes claims that things are true. Ridiculous, outlandish claims, like that filing a subpoena was done to try to get checking account information. You&#

That indictment is some serious bullshit. Did you actually read it? The first count is for identity fraud from requesting a subpoena. No evidence that they intended to present themselves fraudulently, just the fact they filed a request. The

Account recovery is always a nagging weak spot. At some point, a user will forgot their password or lose their TFA device, and now you need them to be able to prove their identity outside of the usual flow. And if you have enough users, thi

Not a very good article since it doesn't mention Lost Spirits (www.lostspirits.net), with working technology that can age Whiskey and other spirits in a week. Maybe it's technically true that you can't hide the age, but appar
