How are those two different things? Seriously. I like Hillary more AND I dislike her less. How are those even two separate concepts?

So, wild exaggerated claims are made, they get trivially refuted as bs, and your comment is that's not the point? Really? Get some perspective. Neither candidate is flawless but let's not pretend they're equally so. One is a

I think you missed the point. I for one can't stand the chrome dev tools. I use Firefox largely because i prefer the dev tools there. So, the point is, it's possible there is no real difference and it just comes down to personal p

How DARE they try to improve their reputation by offering something people want. The scum!

Nope, you're not working. You or the parent. That's a nonsensical definition of work. Nobody is making you mull things over, you're doing it because you want to, because you find your job interesting. Some may try to claim t

And yet nobody has yet to dig hundreds of feet under the pyramids to find out what they're really hiding. Also, the thing will be practically made of Rosetta Stone, designed on purpose to help translate. Really, there is nothing to

Mining, dynamite or otherwise, has to be for something. So why would people dig super far down in the desert through sand and worthless rocks?

Not nuclear waste.

I disagree, the right place is in the code where the functionality is defined. And the comment you replied to i didn't read as "assertions instead of tests". That's absurd. You should have tests that exercise the code th

A non exploitative lottery is also called a bank.

As a person who reads and is mindful of what I click, I click the button that says what I want it to do.

Meh. In my opinion, manual transmissions are a waste and appeal to people's vroom vroom instincts. Which is not utilitarian. My electric fiat feels super powerful from a stop and I really appreciate it for merging or other uses. I don&

Pigeons have very easily exploitable security vulnerabilities. No, you should use end to end encryption if you want security. But the other end is the weak link so you have to trust it.

Mmmmmm, ham corpus :)

Obviously yes. That's how hiding works.

What powers would you say the AWA grants, then?

"probably" sounds really good for a commercial airliner. For some idiot to fly a drone around an airport.

And you're basing that on... ? You being an expert? This is exactly the problem I'm talking about. You don't know what you don't know. Whether the teachers are good or have good resources or have a class too heterogeneou

Clearly it was a concern about CPU architecture differences.

No, wrong. They are going to teach what a large association of actual experts in education think they should teach. Of course you should trust the people that put as much or more effort into education as you did in becoming an expert in y

That is a horrible defense of a horrible sounding parent. Other comments have made the required comparisons to other idiotic appeals to antiquity, but there's another thing. It seems almost barbaric when we're past the time when p

That brings up another good thing about sending your kids to school. You owe it to them to expose them to more than just their overbearing parents like. Maybe they end up liking something different than you and that's good!

Yeah, not just ignorance, but willful ignorance. You have to try really hard not to see how much luck and chaos has to do with every day life.

It's not just arrogant and cruel, it's also logically inconsistent. Everything libertarian leads to an everyone for themselves hellscape. But this in particular would indicate you shouldn't help someone in a car accident beca

Hmm, I see your point. But I don't know how you can draw a distinction between this and other forms of reckless endangerment. A manufacturer at least in principle isn't being reckless. But some random person that fancies themselve

by vectorjohn 11y ago
Absolutely it could be considered reckless. You think some guy messing with his car's firmware understands it well enough to be as safe as the manufacturer? If an accident caused by manufacturer firmware can make the manufacturer liabl

Yes, absolutely there should at least be the possibility of the owner being criminally liable. It's like if you drive with shit poorly strapped into the back of antruck and it falls off on the highway and kills someone. If it can be sh

Seems like a weird arbitrary rule. Why isn't public intoxication considered free speech or something. I don't know how public intoxication laws can be justified.

This has always been a really bad argument, the myriad ways it's been made. I wouldn't want my doctor drunk while he operates on me either. But failing a marijuana drug test says absolutely nothing about weather you are under the
