I don't know what your reasons against are, but a big one for me is an infringement on one's right to assemble. I know it doesn't sound like much, but for a lot of communities (esp…

IMHO, I think this counters a philosophical point of open source software. The open code to the software we use should not be a handout or a gift ex post facto. The open code to th…

I think this points out that the semantics of trusting the header (which is still a part of the message) at all is flawed and leads to implementations getting it wrong and leaving …

Don't really know how viable this question is, but for curiousity's sake, is it possible to build a Faraday cage around the machine?

I think you are on the right track, but I would say that any payment that requires banks or card providers (or both) to act as agents of the exchange will ultimately have these qua…

Intuitively this becomes: if(foo) doX() doY(); Intuitively, as a someone who uses C style languages, this becomes: if(foo) doX(); doY(); Can someone confirm which intuition is corr…

I think in a country like the US, where news networks can push a political bias (not needing to give both sides of an issue equal coverage), without accountability, it requires con…

I think one thing that may help that I haven't seen mentioned yet, is to read the codebase you are working on (not all of it, unless it's smaller than a novel) Pick a certain start…

Is there some traceability on what input parameters were used in testing computer models? Is there a hypothetical world where the modeling software failed to show this scenario for…

I wasn't really a math person in grade school, but I remember needing a scientific calculator in middle school and a graphing calculator in highschool. When I got to college I reto…

Here is a good high level book [1] that touches this subject [1] https://www.amazon.com/dp/0982789742/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_...

That's why a lot of breaks are literally un-surfable in bigger swells. What was once a nice sandbar or reef, now only has whitewater and their are waves breaking well past the usua…

I'm not taking a side on this specific situation, but shooting at a limb in a high stress, crowded situation would not be a wise shot. You would likely miss--and hitting someone th…
