That’s not the right reading of the convention. The rule is against unnecessary suffering and even excessive lethality. For example hollow point rounds are more effective at killin…

2007 was In the shadow of the post 2000 crash. People were still debating with me if going in to Computer Science even made sense (aren’t they sending all those jobs to India?). Th…

Fixed is much too strong a word. Mitigated is more descriptive. From your link: > This fix is widely seen as a stopgap measure, as it only makes the attack up to 65,536 times harde…

He is in the style of Larry King, who famously doesn't do research so he can put himself in the shoes of the audience and ask questions that would be on their mind. It's a valid te…

Because the FTC only needs to look at it once for them to give you a big fine or put you out of business. They take time but they do get around to these things. I was watching an o…

Rail is also used as part of the evacuation, but most people will want their car so they can carry enough supplies to last for the evacuation period. In fact one of the most egregi…

They don't completely solve the problem, but it would be much harder to evacuate the cities without the highway system in place.

> You don't vote for the prime minister. You vote for the party representative in your area. The MPP in my riding gave that line when she came by. We got Ford, and this particular …

I'm almost certain "expense of human lives" didn't come up as a factor on any of the merger pitch decks. Frankly its a huge leap to see that a merger of two successful and relative…

Reliability (ETOPS regulations), as well as the fact long hauls are usually fewer larger flights meaning they use larger aircraft.

If you look at the actual trademarks you will see that there is no registration for Operating Systems. Trademarks are only for specific goods and services, you can't globally preve…

Regulators should not pressure a companies unrelated business lines to effect change elsewhere. If the company is doing something illegal then target that specific activity.

You don't see a problem with them threatening even their non-Libra business lines with "additional scrutiny"? The letter directly threatens malicious investigation.

How many KM remaining depends on the terrain, traffic, driving technique, weather and a host of other factors. Nobody is expecting 100% accuracy just a rough estimate. They are alr…

Teslas do this, they show battery charge in terms of miles or kilometers which is obviously not the correct unit. It's more abstract and often wrong but closer to what the person w…

Sex and especially violence is common fare in entertainment now. The real "edginess" is in the landscape of ideas, and the range of acceptability has been increasingly narrowed ove…

They later quashed it, so she got it cleared up eventually. But I imagine this would have been resolved much quicker if she just showed up in the first place.

> Next, she heard that her court case had happened and she'd been found guilty. If she missed her court date then I don't know what she expected... You will lose by default if you …

I imagine they weren't trying all that hard.

For Lyft having a taxi anywhere I want one with low wait times at low cost is going to secure their success. Not new features in their app, not even latency to the data center. The…

Man this industry is crazy. Most traditional companies fight hard to gain even 1% in net margin.

I like the sentiment, but companies formed for any reason other than solving a customer problem and earning money tend to do poorly.

Serious question: Is it really worth the trade off? My biggest fear is to start needing prescription drugs for anything.

If you had pushed it just a little bit farther to 11am you would have been commuting in the daytime lull and had the same benefits.
