Because the military doesn't have any assets to speak of. It's a government program funded each year by taxes. The social security program is separate from the federal budget [0], and that's why you see it as a separate tax o

I'm surprised (according to ctrl-f) no one has brought up Parallel Construction [1] I'm not sure what the benefit to society is, as you asked, but the benefit for law enforcement is that they can escape the intent of 4th amendment

As near as I can tell from the wikipedia link in the comments below, it's because the ship is perpendicular to the water and the light just happens to be being refracted to that particular observer right at the water line. [0] https:&

This. I've seen developers _think_ they lost code in Android Studio and spend hours trying to recreate it when it was in local history all along...

Wow, having different pages based on state seems to be such an amount of effort that it's basically an admission of fraud to have the other version: you must make enough money of not-cancelling to justify having two.

Seriously, reason from first principles. The incentives are the outcome. It was predicted in mainstream media (granted as a pessimistic joke): https://www.joe.ie/movies-tv/simpsons-writer-reveals-how-he-...

It took me a while to get it, but this all works in the opposite direction as well. The time value of money can be negative: A dollar today can be worth more than a dollar tomorrow. It's not pretty. When the pie is shrinking the incent

I had such a hard time cancelling The Economist last time, I joined their web chat to ask them if cancelling was as easy as signing up and if it was I would subscribe. Unfortunately my place in the queue kept _incrementing_, so I ended up b

Okay, it's been a while, more data is available now, and I can provide a counter argument: This whole event was planned on social media in the open, and still that did not help anyone prevent it. Had it all been planned on Signal the e

It's a skill and an art like anything else. I had to teach it before I was really well versed in it myself. I was skeptical , but now swear by it. Not like religiously... my pair for today wanted to break early to develop a deeper unde

Yes, maybe this is just me, but every time I have an extended work from home period, depression follows after a few months. I was working around this once by drinking red bull, which I found lifted my emotions temporarily, but after it wore

Yes, 100% this. When the virus isn't spiking in your area, I recommend meeting coworkers in coworking spaces. When it is spiking I've been going to parks to have beers with friends. A warm coat can help a lot. I also found this vi

Though I definitely agree that bash's abbreviations are a barrier to entry, I think a bigger impediment not just with bash but many languages (say, Haskell) is ungooglable operator syntax. If you didn't know what it was, how would

My previous comment was down-voted, perhaps because it was not a direct link. Trying again: This article explains why the first one was disabled [1]. This appears to be the new one [2]. [1] https://thecapitolist.com/rebekah-

Wow, why did this fall off the front page? There's no way it wasn't being upvoted sufficiently watching the flurry of initial comments... Was this discussion blocked? And if so, is there a particular policy it violated? This discu

I think banning online advertising causing these sites to charge their users for the service would right a lot of wrongs automatically, when the free market can start to kick in and do it's job. It makes it so Facebook's product b

I can offer no defense of the opposing point of view right now in regards to purely anonymous distributed unstoppable peer-to-peer communication. I can offer this review of what was wrong with Parler in particular: https://mattst

People you know have sound turned on on their phone at work? This seems like the first problem. No polite person enables notification sounds from their phone.

Thanks! If the build model is statically analyzable I can see how that would help a lot. I'll generate my next project with gradle/kotlin and report back :)

For practical reasons, I have to admit gradle is better than maven. Gradle is least bad. However, I do have to say turing completeness in a build system is an anti-goal for me. You shouldn't have to guess if your build will halt. I&#x2
