> If you want fallout then you want an air burst to the West and let the Easterly winds spread the fallout. This might be true, but I've heard speculation that a surface burst would produce more fallout. Their reasoning…
I never meant to imply that I thought Apple's (possible) intent was a good thing. I just think that a significant number of people will see what they're doing and thing "Oh, they're looking out for me." I think it's…
Perhaps, but who is to say that they don't have plans to branch out into that business? It's possible that they have no intent to do so, but a corporation's primary interest is making profit. And what would be a simple,…
Yes, but I think it would be a bit naïve to think that Apple is doing so out of the kindness of their hearts. Apple already has access to all the metrics that Facebook would be interested in. It seems to me like this is…
> The consequence of not pushing back has done irreparable harm to this country... Have you watched mainstream news sources over the last 4 or 5 years? Everything that Trump has done (for better or worse) has been met…
I wonder if that's why they're making the bet.
Didn't go through the CS program as they announced it a month after I finished my Bachelor in Software Development but I thought it was a pretty good program. Definitely planning on going back for a Master's when the…
Can pardons be given prior to conviction? Edit: According to NBC News, POTUS can pre-emptively issue a pardon. [0] - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/could-trump-pa...
Ah I didn't know that he's already currently under indictment. Today I learned... But yes, if he has something that he can point to when re-election time comes around and say "Look, I tried to help Trump out" then it…
Maybe so, but I wouldn't be surprised if it earned him brownie points from fervent Trump supporters. It may even get him re-elected by those supporters, assuming he isn't indicted...
The DEA has cracked down tremendously on healthcare providers that over-prescribe opioids, though. Granted I'm sure there are many who still prescribe them like crazy, but it seems like active measures are being taken…
I've had pretty much the same experience (minus the recommendation for Turmeric). Once I was lucky enough to get a steroid prescribed and it worked wonders compared to a dose of Ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours.
I would imagine those that cheat at online chess wouldn't stay at a low level for very long.
AFAIK most (all?) sheriffs can't be fired. They're elected county officials, so maybe they could be impeached but I really don't think they can be just outright fired like that. Also, I would imagine many of the…
Very nice! As a Python enthusiast that writes C# for a living, I appreciate what you've done here!
"...seems facetiously misguided & contrary to all evidence" It may be, I'm certainly no expert. As a layman I've been led to believe that if you alter user-generated content you toe the line of being classified as a…
"So weird how Cruz &c keep making this sound like there's some mandate that these platforms be nuetral" My understanding is that if these companies wish to use Section 230 to keep themselves from being held liable for…
The abortion argument definitely presents an issue regarding the NAP: are you violating the NAP by terminating the pregnancy, or is the fetus violating the NAP by existing in the mother's uterus without her…
As a long-time PlayStation player and PS+ subscriber, I can't say I'm really impressed with this offering. I mean, they're kinda hit or miss each month, but sometimes you get something that was surprisingly good (I…
I really don't think it's going to be an issue, but I've heard that the ACLU has an app for recording/streaming police interaction. Perhaps that could be a good starting point, and you wouldn't (or shouldn't) have to…
Really feels like a Catch 22 situation, then. :-(
"If you're going through Hell, keep going." I _think_ it was Winston Churchill who said it. But I like that it can apply to all kinds of situations. A stressful time a work? Hard times in personal relationships? Feeling…
I think that would definitely go towards helping build consumer confidence in the service.
Really nice looking site and an interesting concept. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to trust a stranger with my stuff. Good luck though!
If I recall correctly, Tesla open sourced their patents in 2014. Couldn't other car companies implement their own version of Tesla's equipment and skip a significant portion of the R&D needed for EV development?…
