IRS? Yes. I'm OK with abolishing the others too. Volunteer (only) fire departments can stay.

Not only are they completely unnecessary, but more importantly many of your so-called "limits on freedom" are blatantly unconstitutional and illegal.

Convinced eh? Sounds like baseless supposition to me.

Same...was just browsing stack overflow for positive mod, so I got "return (i % n + n) % n;" heh

That's literally not a discount though.

This is the most disingenuous argument I have ever heard.

This sounds extremely regressive. Basically rich developers will all be getting a huge property tax break by not having to pay taxes on the value of the land/building improvements,…

Ever hear of electric heating? How on earth would you expect solar or wind to be used for heating. It's far from the cheapest option currently, but you're not getting rid of fossil…

I do sometimes work nights, but not in a factory. But your missing the point, there are lots of industrial processes that you don't just turn off for 12 hours because the electrici…

Out of curiosity, what turns you off about Amazon?

I don't think the fact that it can be enabled/disabled by environmental variable indicates malicious intent. It could be as simple as that Intel doesn't care to test there compiler…

I would hardly call the FDP libertarian.

It's ok...we're over provisioned on solar generation capacity. So it doesn't matter that it is night :P.

Yeah, its pretty unrealistic to imagine any zero-Carbon approach which excludes nuclear. But the greens would rather cover their eye/hears about that, and imagine that it can all b…

Its called hyperbole. Seriously HN can be so pedantic sometimes.

Never underestimate the power of print statements for debugging, that being said, the gdb-based "poor man's profiler" has also been a life saver.

"Research"

You're right, some random guy on the internet definitely knows better than the first hand witnesses and U.S. Navy! Actually, it was probably swamp gas. Case closed.

There are plenty of "mundane" explanation for the motion of the object to be real as well, and not just camera glare. No need to invoke aliens. For example, this video shows SDI te…

Errmm...The Cyberiad certainly has plenty of 'sexual' content, but it may be considered too bizarre or disturbing for a mainstream audience, especially the story of the HPLDs.

Yes, I too was surprised to hear Adams had not read the Cyberiad. The absurdist humor is very similar.

I suppose the radar signature was camera "glare" too, smh. This is pretty weak.
