One time when returning from an overseas country, I was in one of two lines: One for foreigners, and one for US citizens. It was quite the line. After a few minutes, I was pulled aside and whisked through customs. As I was nearing the exit,

I wouldn't even agree that it's not an issue. It's something the README doesn't cover.

Basic knowledge of cats, most likely. A high number of outdoor cats I've known would hunt animals and bring the complete flailing bodies or corpses indoors. It's just an understood part of cats, kind of like how humans will do thi

This reflects my experience with Go to a tee. (Well, minus being a prolific library contributor, thanks for that!) Prior to using Go professionally, I scoffed at the language and wrote it off as an extreme form of Blub paradox. Having worke

Personally, my issue with Electron is that, in practice, it is hugely inefficient. The up-side to Electron, IMO, is that it doesn't try to straddle the uncanny valley of native GUIs. In GTK, usually everything _looks_ like a normal GUI

Blockchain does not provide any verification of trust, nor can it. It provides verification of number crunching transactions alone, as well as an immutable store of that number crunching. It's actually notoriously poor for trust compar

None of which you have listed can be proven by blockchain as it has proofs for today. All would rely on external sources of truth which entirely live outside the verification of the blockchain. The blockchain in these cases would be an immu

Processed is not a bad word when it comes to health. What matters are the ingredients. I'm not aware of any consensus on canola being anything but healthy, but am interested in learning more as canola oil is what I use for cooking. Tha

I got the numbers from here: https://portlandloo.com/loo-locator/ I'd argue enough restrooms are provided when the number is population appropriate and within a one block distance. I also didn't say that rest

Do you honestly believe that someone that is living on the streets, shitting in the open, is thinking about the spread of disease or homelessness PR?

I got the number from the website you linked. However, using Google Maps, I found 4. I'm not sure how many bathrooms you'd normally allocate per person, but I imagine the number of homeless and those out and about would necessitat

The former is preferable because you are providing a disservice to the community that will not allow you dignity, even though they can most obviously afford it.

If you're not going to give someone a dignified place to relieve themselves, why would they care about using such a thing?

Why would _one_ of these solve any problems?

If this has solved the issue of automatically proving that any C or C++ program has no buffer overflows, why do we still see CVEs for popular libraries and software that result from them?

I don't believe Alexa and others are malevolently spying, but if the data exists, you should expect nothing less than it to be public at some point, or at least be accessed by someone you'd not expect to share your life with. You

No, it's not. We can use facial recognition, we can use voice signatures. It doesn't even have to be recorded, as the device setup can record those signatures of consenting users and refuse to transmit or save any data that does n

Why is live-listening impractical at scale? How can Discord provide such a service? You seem to be conflating Amazon's intent with the unknowable intent of anyone that can touch such data, which is a common fatal flaw in reasoning.

Certainly, as long as the device does not trivialize the violation of those rights. If a car designed for road use by a human driver did not have a windshield to see out of, I'd say it is designed in a way to violate the rights of othe

What is a recording? Does a 10 millisecond delay mean it is a recording? What is the legally binding lock-out time for this audio stream before a human can listen to it?

Your dream type system is out there, yet not manifest in any popular or somewhat-popular language. I've yet to see a strictly/strongly typed language that makes this easy to do. Through some combination of plugins, esoteric langua

CL UX is great, as both a buyer and seller. It _could_ introduce more barriers to reduce scammers, but that would come at a cost to both buyer and seller UX. There is value in simplicity, and the market thus far agrees. Craigslist is the an

But with optimistic concurrency, why is this a gamble? It's an overhead that comes as a result of the trade-offs, sure, but it's a finite cost. Collision can be handled without breaking anything at the cost of implementation compl

I don't see how it is at all a gamble if you understand the trade-offs. If there is no fatal flaw with the inaccurate/non-deterministic sorting that wall-clock prefix provides and one is utilizing optimistic concurrency (strict cr
