    This article[0] and a clarifying comment[1] answer the question for JS. I think it's the same for Python. Apparently your model (which was mine, too) is out of date! [0] https://ha…

    As the article explains, debits increase the balance of debit normal accounts, whereas credits increase the balance of credit normal accounts.

    I think the argument is that there are multiple judicial philosophies that can be chosen from, and you can generally predict what outcomes will result from following a philosophy c…

    I think the heatsink and platform it is on are moving horizontally and the blade only moves vertically.

    I would call it a duty more than a debt. I feel that I have a duty to look after my elders, but I do not think my children owe me a debt for conceiving them or for performing my ow…

    One possibility is that he "works hard" at that, too, e.g. by consciously thinking about what the best things to do with them are and endeavoring to spend as much as possible doing…

    As I wrote, I didn't find the "drying out" step to be necessary. If you are patient enough you can process the nixtamal into dough with only a tiny bit of water added. Edit: I don'…

    This is an excellent question that I never thought of! My guess is that - there is a large range of cal concentrations that work fine without tasting bad, and - the amount of water…

    You can get a smooth product from a food processor if you are willing to do it in small batches, very slowly (I take around 5 minutes to process 1 cup of nixtamal in my 11-cup food…

    Having implemented it for a job, this has been my impression of container scanning as well. Either your container has an OS, in which case you don't use 99% of the software on it a…

    Maybe, but did you read my post? You need a cause of action. It is not libel to moderate someone's tweets, so even if § 230 does not protect them you can't sue them for libel based…

    My understanding is that (c)(2)(A) is only about liability for the act of moderation itself, e.g. suing Twitter because they banned you. If they did that in bad faith you could hyp…

    I tried the XPS 15 7590 late last year before I switched back to Mac when the 16" MBP came out. It felt like absolute garbage in comparison. Trackpad was so bad I had to use the to…

    Two meaningful things they can do without realizing the gains: borrow against it and bequeath it.

    Sorry, I'm still not clear what you're referring to. There are multiple ProPublica articles linked in this thread and I'm not sure what statement you're paraphrasing with your "sou…

    Can you point to where the IRS has said that they can prepare returns for taxpayers? As far as I know they can correct isolated pieces of information (e.g. wrong numbers from a W-2…

    It is certainly true that the IRS could hypothetically implement a better version of TurboTax. But it is quite a leap to conclude that the tax preparation industry's relatively sma…

    Interestingly, Lambda School has just announced a new "ISA Financing Blueprint" [0] and "Better Data Transparency" [1] which address some of the concerns from the article. [0] http…

    Ah, I think you have a misunderstanding about what collateral is. Collateral is not generally a limitation on the lender's ability to collect the debt. In some specific cases (like…

    You seem to think that this "loan" that the investor makes to Lambda School only has to be paid back when the ISAs pay out, and if they never pay out then Lambda School's debt is j…

    You can read what Lambda School describes as the "template" for their ISA contracts: https://leif.org/api/products/5b5b8bd0e59b743f9a086ed9/pdf It says that you agree that you "are…
