Even though I'm tall it's about the back, not the knees.

And yet I'd prefer both myself and the person in front of me lean back. The upright posture is painful for me. Is your preference more valid then mine? The fact that the chairs are…

Compulsory licensing sounds interesting but isn't there a fundamental problem in terms of setting price? Music tends to not have big budget differences. Should a show with a budget…

She wrote most of it centered on his perspective (as she understands it). And if you take that line as such, then you're right. I took that line as bringing another perspective to …

I think the implication is that people could be driving with a dead 12V as if nothing is wrong. Then when they experience the HV failure in the recall, they would have no power wha…

Never diagnosed but have suspicions and this describes me. I had comments earlier on in life but later I joined the Army. There is a lot of marching and I was frequently told to "s…

Wouldn't it be more apt to compare consumption vs production. It looks like US is about 26% of global GDP from a quick google. But I'm also suspect of comparing GDP's across nation…

Yes kinda, I would say network activity rather then traffic. Audio signal is going to be in scale of 48Khz while measuring ethernet signal at scale of 100Mhz. At that rate it would…

That message is sent quickly. But if you're talking about raw eyeballs, not many are reading it.

Cultural exports are how NYC became famous, has a city ever became famous without culture? I can't say anything about the quality of Sex and the City since like I said before I've …

You've completely missed the point. Crouching tiger/Hero are not modern chinese culture. I haven't even seen the shows I mentioned, but I also know if I mention New York overseas, …

I wasn't making a point about blockbusters though. Star Wars would fail my criteria as well. It's not about money it's about influence. The stuff you listed is the antithesis of th…

If they're selling on historical and folklore how much is that really pushing culture? Is Modern China the same culture as pre-revolution China? Friends, Seinfeld, Sex and the City…

You're probably not running either unless you know what they are. Top is an equivalent of windows taskmanager, most often to used identify "top" processes using memory/cpu (and oth…

The problem is allowing arbitrary numbers of unary operators. If you allowed ++ increment it would be trivialized even easier. Could even do all complex numbers with only 2 twos.

Out-of-control AI is sci-fi fearmongering, it's not about worming through systems. It will be doing exactly what it was placed there to do. It will be a human failing that puts arm…

How's that going for Tornado Cash?

How did you jump to that conclusion? The agent will be limited by the capabilities under its control. We have the technological ability to cripple world now and we don't have the t…

They could get rid of this phenomena if they had the train schedule end in a lively area. Meaning the last train arriving an endpoint is followed by a single last train that only g…

The whole article is "This design isn't optimized for me" and "No one else prioritizes my priorities". Empathy is something one can develop with practice if you take the self-refle…

Find out what "agree to work" means, they may have very different ideas then you on what effort they're asking for. Also you only need to be in good graces with registrar office un…

I think most of the criticism comes from those worried it will lead to worse conditions. As long as the primary goal is education and reintegration, then it's great. If it becomes …

We need both, I agree community needs are best served locally. But also small town sheriffs can capture too much power and need oversight.

I agree it's intimidating. I think the way to counter that is good player aids. If you have a really well designed reference in front of each player, then the teach is often "see t…

A backdoor bypasses legitimate access mechanisms. Whether it is a backdoor or not depends fully on whether you believe lawful intercept is a legitimate access mechanism. And I thin…
