    It also depends on how often samples are taken. If it only occurs every hour, Fred in his white shirt is highly unlikely to be standing in the exact same spot still. Remember, thes…

    To give context to this, the person didn't post a study in which anyone died, instead a study that claims 2 people have died in 2 separate studies. Despite this claim, it actually …

    As someone who is a penetration tester, I can assure you that this is a TERRIBLE idea. Look up "CWE-200". While you are correct that this might help someone fix an issue, I can ass…

    I can only speak for the society I live in, Australia. I'm glad you perceive yours (wherever that is) to be doing much better. I hope you use that privilege to enrich your fellow m…

    I don't necessarily think it is how you were brought up, and probably more to do with personality. As an introvert, I don't have the talk time to continuously put out feelers, I ju…
