> 550,000 moderators You can bring this number down by only reviewing new/low-reputation advertisers, increasing minimum spend, rate limiting, etc. You can also pre-filter for "def…

As far as I know, that assumption generally holds. If we're talking "trivially easy for a state actor," then it's not macho to say that pilots need to be able to safely conduct fli…

I don't think an ansible is "hard sci-fi". Hard sci-fi deals with known physics, and FTL communication violates that.

Well, not any sort. We'll just have to stick to wireframe glasses.

And yet lotteries are billion dollar businesses.

I think there were studies on this, leading to, among other things, painting control rooms seafoam green to reduce visual fatigue. This implies that people don't simply adjust (or …

Atlassian almost certainly has their own legal department, which calls its own shots (or rather isn't beholden to anyone below C-level).

The Godot Foundation pays for it if it furthers their mission.

I had a similar class where they threatened to fail us if we didn't use Dreamweaver and instead wrote our own html.
