    Paraphrasing for "hard to understand" but with an emphasis on internalizing. Most people generally fundamentally know what 30 means in their unit but might have a harder time with …

    You can say the same thing about decades No one says 6 even though it has a very reasonable information density for conversations. It is either a relative year or a two digit one.

    You want numbers to be understandable and K produces illogical numbers. (There is a reason it is common to drop the century when talking about years, humans are less skilled at num…

    My point was it isn't as simple as projectors are better. To be clear I only know this because I was totally going to swap to a projector once I bought a place only to realize they…

    Multi use rooms require TVs. Projectors cannot handle ambient light without being a fire hazard.

    Except that doesn't matter here, IP isn't why you can't destroy emails. You can't destroy emails because they law says those are evidence.

    The firing people because of AI thing is similar to the RTO thing, assuming everyone saying they are doing X because Y is falling for the simplest form of deception. Firing people …

    They need to prove you destroyed evidence, you have the mens rea component with the deceptive pin code but the defense can simply plainly say they didn't want the police to read th…

    How are they going to prove there was evidence of a crime? While destruction of potential evidence does introduce a certain amount of leeway that doesn't allow going from absolutel…

    Germany is 4% of America in size. A single US state with decent population density wouldn't need a nationalized system either. The USPS gets a monopoly because it is required to go…
