When there is an accident, injured parties go after rich people, like the expression "deep pockets", and juries aren't sympathetic to them. Rich people are advised to get (and can afford) insurance more than middle class peop

i just want to add, you have actually introduced a bug. if your program has any longevity, this misfeature of it will, i predict with confidence, break the program at some point, sooner rather than later, and for no reason other than "

yuk. this is the sort of issue that should be solved at the level of the OS, not for every app. *nix is pretty much "the" cmdline people refer to, and the unix cmdline was well established and in use at microsoft when microsoft cr

that little voice in your head that is screaming "i hate this" is your problem. It really is not a big deal to type a password, and even to type it a few times, just try to have a more zen attitude about it. It's how password

YCombinator is all tied up with VCs and incubators and such, right? In other contexts such as applying for various types of placements, are people's comment histories reviewed (including whatever amount of doxing is possible via server

First, to give you the answer, in your position you need to exchange your knight for his, and after he takes back with his queen, attack his queen with your bishop, which seems to offers your bishop as a sacrifice, but it's poison for

yeah but... the real problem lies elsewhere... VMware (and that style of virtualization) is so popular because of the utter failure of OSes to do what they are supposed to do. Protected multiuser multitasking operating systems are supposed

I don't think (as I said) the guy was intending to chase around the world protecting his copyrights, he was trying to show the absurdity of the definitions that copyright law depends on, and in that sense what he did refuted a priori y

mp4 actually tells you more about a file than mpeg4 does, because mp4 is only one thing, the file. mpeg4 is another thing, but that thing is not a file. So, calling files mpeg4 actually confuses things rather than clarifies them. If you wor

I just can't sympathize, at all. I would prefer (I realize this is not the law) an internet that was considered public domain. If you don't want you picture copied, don't put it in the public domain. I do understand hard work

There was a project in the early days of the internet boom, a website was put up (in australia IIRC) with every possible melody combination (using discrete scales) along with a copyright notice for each one, so nobody would be able to write

my explanation was correct, "common" (but not secret) means that both parties have it (each party also has a secret) and that is the key element to understand what is good about the protocol and what problems it solves. By seeming

the common color can be public, there is no point in manipulating it. Anybody manipulating it will not be using the common color any more. if you are saying that you plan to trust the MITM to give you the common color, then it's not a

We can judge people on life performance, nobody has any problem with that. Why do you want the word for successful life performace to be intelligence? or to put it another way, the article you are responding to is making that point that hig

the study hinges on whether the researchers who worked on it, designing it and completing many trials over time, writing it up and getting it published, on whether they thought of something that you just thought of? that the unpleasant shoc

Can't we agree? with redefining what intelligent means on the basis of your reasonably well written discussion post? NO, we can't agree on that at all. Your post is thoughtful and well meaning, but intelligence means... well I&#x2

good grief, yes, smart people can be arrogant, yes, smart people can be many other negative things. but my experience walking around the world is that most people are too stupid. Too stupid means, for instance, that they could never begin t
