The law already exists. Applying the law in court doesn't "give more power" to it. To do that you'd have to change the law.

It's a good test of one aspect of a democracy, but a democracy is more than just its leader. A strongly independent judiciary is also a crucial element for a fair and free democracy. In my view the US fails in this regard. Its suprem

What would be the reasons to choose this over fwknop?

Not everyone is the same. Some people are more open to change and new experiences than others. And ultimately, I'd bet that if your relatives were facing death tomorrow, they'd take a pill today that would avoid it, notwithstandin

If the issue is forgetting basic commands / configuration options then how does swapping one tool for another help? You'll just forget how to use the second tool instead.

Let's say longevity was already a solved problem and people had unlimited lifespans. Would you advocate executing everyone once they reach 85 so that we can avoid the problems you refer to? If the answer is no, then the only consistent

The idea behind a warp drive is that it utilises expansion of space, which is not subject to speed of light restrictions. The universe has already expanded faster than light without breaking causality.

Yes it is. It's teaching the skill of being able to cope with mundane routine without mindless phone scrolling as a distraction. This is the whole point of OP's linked article.

I've traveled fairly extensively around Europe and you do indeed need a credit card in the majority of cases. Some rental agencies will accept a debit card but it's risky to just turn up on the assumption that they will. You can f

Not sure which Lenovo Tab you mean specifically, but I just had a glance at a few now and none of them were x64. If we're talking about ARM tablets, there are an abundance of those. It's Linux-capable x64 tablets which are rarer.

by jbstack 2y ago
IMO the advantage of the Surface is that it's one of the only tablets out there which is (a) reasonably priced for what you get, (b) has a x64 processor, and (c) can have Linux installed on it without too much difficulty. So if you wan

"There is a setting to turn it off" is nowhere near equivalent to "the author deliberately asked for documents to be scanned". Also, see: "What's more, Bankston did eventually find the settings toggle in questi

One person's convenient is another person's inconvenient. For me, a trip to the library means dealing with awkward opening hours and a 35 minute round trip on foot, or 10 minutes by car with a fight for a parking space plus a park

That's a reasonable proposition, but I think it comes down to your individual circumstances, frequency of need, and tolerance of inconvenience. For people who have an office or home where a printer won't take up valuable space or

by jbstack 2y ago
I think it's quite likely that people use their printers far less, but for many people not having any access to a printer at all is unrealistic and/or undesirable. There are still plenty of example use cases which aren't cove

Strong disagree on the second point. I don't want the choice of whether I switch tools to be based on an arbitrary factor such as when a website suddenly doesn't exist anymore. I might be very heavily invested into that tool in te

Unless something has drastically changed since I switched to Linux around 10 years ago, Windows did not at all have a "universal package". Instead, installing software meant manually downloading an installer from the vendor's

I'm struggling to understand why the analogy of folding a piece of paper into a torus works. I can see that I can easily roll the paper up into a cylinder. But if I then want to bend that cylinder so that the two ends meet, I'd ha

I think the wording is fine. While technically you are correct, most people will not interpret "three of the oldest" to mean that they could be 2 seconds old as long as there is another star which is 1 second old.

For me, it doesn't make sense to have my application's functionality overlap with my window manager. Having two separate methodologies and sets of keysbindings to move and switch between areas of the screen depending on what happe

I just read all of the ToS and also didn't find anything which disallows third party clients. I did find some older references to it on Google. Perhaps they changed the rule?

There's also Org Roam which adds some useful ZK-like features to Org Mode.

I used VimWiki for a couple of years and build up a sizeable set of notes with it. Although it seems to have most of the features you'd want, in the end it feels a little clunky to use in practice. A huge minus for me (at the time; per

I agree with the sentiment, but it's important to add that this should only happen if it's proven to the criminal standard of proof, in a court room, that she was complicit.

You seem to have pivoted away from the original point you were making, which was why the employee was working at an Israeli company if she disagrees with actions of the Israeli state. But to address your new point: Being "cool" wi

But the claim being discussed here from the GP is whether something is "probably fair grounds for immediate dismissal". Being fired from a Chinese company operating in China will be dealt with under Chinese law, where criticizin

I think that's reasonable though. I haven't used Windows or any Microsoft product for over 10 years. However, I accept that that means I use software which is relatively obscure and unpopular. I'm happy with my choice, but I

Why does the fact that an employee isn't ok with Israel (in this context, a government) mean that she shouldn't work at Wix (a company)? I don't agree with all the policies of my country's government (UK). Does that mean

Definitely not this. That wouldn't be random at all. For example, after picking 999,999 numbers you would be able to predict the next number with certainty. What it means is that every time you select a number, every number in the rang
