No, you cannot retroactively make something a crime as you have found. That way lies madness. If the govt could do that, they could arrest anyone, anytime simply by making whatever…

It’s not clear to me what the changing colors of the words mean as I scroll around?

Voting is just one way people engage in the political process.

News consumption impacts political decision making, like who I want to support or oppose in local, state, and national elections. That seems a pretty high impact decision we want a…

I wish the same rule applied to their site design. It’s 90% ads on mobile, almost completely unreadable.

“There are only two hard things in computer science. Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.”

> This feature will be available on Teams desktop applications (both Windows and Mac) and Teams mobile applications (both iOS and Android)." Seems like it’s even easier, just join …

My immediate thought was college kids on campus. It’s basically your apartment building example (esp. something like the STEM dorms) When this stuff breaks in the hours leading up …

There are bunch of tabletop wargames, but Warhammer has the network effect going for it. If you want to go the local hobby store and play a game, most other people are playing Warh…

How are the SIPC premiums being paid? Let’s say I invest $250k with you. From my research it appears the SIPC premiums on that amount would be more than $12/year. How does that wor…

Also consider that a good judge is doing a useful service to society, but isnt necessarily in the business of maximizing other people’s happiness.

That was my question as well. What is the user benefit of the monitor having a network connection?

Based on my reading of the article, this change would not start showing you Elon’s tweets if you have him blocked. What it would do is allow Elon’s feed to show everyone, and not h…

I think the idea is that CrowdStrike doesn’t run in user space. If an Nvidia driver had bricked the machines, would that be MS fault or Nvidia fault?

I’m not following your line of reasoning, can you clarify? Is the argument that it was MS responsibility to bake something like this in at the OS level? And if they did it would be…

I don’t see how this is Microsoft’s fault or issue. MS can’t prevent a software vendor from breaking the machine.

Isn’t the claim that the issue is long term safety? Saying “there is no immediate safety of flight issue” kinda dodges the question. Perfect PR language

I love these sorts of unintended consequences. I suspect it will be changed rather quickly once large business travel customers catch on to that particular loophole.

It’s best to ignore daily stock market fluctuations. Focus on the long term.

I dont know about the details of this particular painting, but Rarity here could refer to something like the type of paint used, the size, or even the subject matter or time period…

It’s not clear to me, but can usernames be reused? Let’s say I create a username and then later delete it as they suggest. Can someone else then create the username and continue th…

A classic. I read it again every couple of years or so. The idea of trying to piece things back together after the apocalypse always resonated with me

Can you post what a $14,000 SQL query looks like? If nothing else, it can be an example in my SQL 101 course.
