my first though as to how you would do this, is that you would implement some kind of key bag. You don't ever own your own private keys, theres a copy of them held in a central rep…

ok ok, perhaps this was a bad example of being in a situation which is legal but illegal adjacent, because it seems in some cases it is illegal to sleep in your car while drunk, or…

OK, so I have decided that my example of not having the intention to commit the crime is a bad one as it has been flagged up by everyone regarding how in the UK you can indeed be a…

as I mentioned in an above reply.. what about campervans?

well I'll be damned... What is the legal definition of being in charge? There is no legal definition for the term "in charge" so each case will depend on its exact circumstances an…

from the article. "Hand was parked in a near-campus parking lot, sitting in the driver’s seat with the headlights on and the vehicle cranked, but was asleep with the car in park." …

There is a growing misconception that it is the role of the government to "keep their citizens safe". Although that it is often the intention of legislation to prevent behaviour wh…

Australia has ad free tv too, and radio stations and all the same kinds of initiatives as the BBC (admittedly the tv is terrible by comparison to the BBC so) called the ABC. there …

Won't someone please think of the children!! How about this for how to enforce parental controls... Encourage parents to supervise their childrens internet usage and educate the pa…

wow... slavery? really? strawman much? There is a HUGE difference between forcing someone to work for no money, and expecting an equality of pay and sick leave based on a persons s…

I feel very sorry for you and others in your position to hear that. the UK has some very forgiving policies on sick leave ( https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave ). in fact you don'…

Im not saying its humane, or just, or right. Its business. The reason you point out is exactly what has happened in the past. In fact my mum used to work for a company that straigh…

Oh, sorry to double reply, but I just thought of something devious. What if any of the following apply to the female employee: Is on birth control to supress having a period. Has a…

I totally get your point, and from a capitalist perspective the solution of the media company in the article dis-incentivises hiring women as a dollar per hour of work metric insta…

I really enjoyed this read. I still look at code I write every year and cringe. Everything becomes influenced by the flavour of the week. Don't be so hard on yourself, We all suck …

I think you need to caveat this only slightly. 1) At the moment when the sea ice breaks off there is no rising in overall level due to fact that the ice displaces the same volume o…

I save a solid 10.5 hours a week.. that grooming nonsense is for public facing human resources and not a cave dwelling engineer like me.. just put me in front of a computer in a da…

I think its cool that they at least gave it a shot, but in the process it used up their stocks of unicorn blood.

Im so excited by this in particular "Switch statements with patterns We’re generalizing the switch statement so that: •You can switch on any type (not just primitive types) •Patter…
