The comment you were replying to said that the reason for high prices is oligopoly and you've replied that the way to prevent oligopoly is to be against communism, so logically it …

Ah, yes, clearly communism is the reason for high inflation in the US...

I'm confused, https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/faq/#isn-t-it-a-... claims that jinja doesn't allow arbitrary code in templates - how does the exploit work?

If computers could read thoughts and 100% reliably determine when the user is done with their current task and would like to switch back to the other application, then yes, it woul…

Why would they care about this?

People make and lose real money in Las Vegas every day too, but millions of people don't have their retirement dependent on casino winnings.

My IKEA furniture has lasted 12 years so far, including 3 moves, with only minor cosmetic damage.

If that was the case they wouldn't need to forbid "parking" since it would not be possible to "park" without "driving" first. It's explicitly legal for cabs to drop off passengers …

You've quoted the rules which forbid parking and driving in the bike lane and then went on to confidently make up the part about stopping and dropping people off.

How do you immediately jump from "fun" to nefarious behavior? Are you implying that it's impossible for anyone to have fun in a non-nefarious way?

No it doesn't?

Where does it answer this question in the article?

With -π to π radians you get absolute error of approximately 4e-16 radians. With -180 to 180 degrees you get absolute error of approximately 2e-14 degrees. Even though the first nu…

Wait this doesn't make sense. Yes you'd get smaller absolute error in radians, but it doesn't really help because it's different units. Relative error is the same in degrees and ra…

Ra is great, and so is Fine Structure but they are both significantly longer than Antimemetics. Most people wouldn't read a massive novel publishing on some guy's personal website.…
