Well, you're just a big bowl of sunshine aren't you? I think you need to include more "fucks" and "shits" in your comments so we know you have thoroughly considered things
If a car is parked on a road, you can call it a road, or you can call it a parking spot. That's a choice I leave up to you. Regardless, it's not like we need another Manhattan project to figure out how to get electric power to places where people park their cars.
I can build a new house with a garage on the roof and an electromagnetic car lift to let me use it, but that also isn't going to happen in the foreseeable future;
Right, because that's exactly like installing a simplified parking-meter style apparatus to a parking spot to allow the charging of an electric car. I mean, that's really Arthur C. Clarke stuff right there... We can only dream.
Yes, getting power to garages and sidewalk parking spaces: assuredly, this an insurmountable technical problem that a 21st century 1st world society is powerless to solve....
Nobody ever loves ya like your mum... That's not to say there aren't some shitty mothers out there, but a mother's ability to put up with your bullshit (and your actual shit), and not eat you before the age of two is one of the reason mammals are as successful as they are..
How about, "vote for Hillary, she's not promising to take health insurance away from millions of people from day one"
or maybe, "vote for Hillary, she's not promising to jeopardize the health, and imprison ("there must be punishment {re: abortion}.. Donald Trump") 1 in 3 women by nominating supreme court justices who will put roe v wade on the "ash heap of history"
Or how about "vote for Hillary, she realizes climate change is an actual phenomenon, and not a Chinese conspiracy"
It's not like Trump is talking peace.. And its not Clinton who is promising to inflate the defense budget by trillions of dollars
And what about the women who might need access to a safe and legal abortion, the kind Trump/Pence promise to "throw on the ash heap of history" -- no skin off you neck, Mr. Leftist purist, I guess
And what of the poor people who now have access to healthcare via the medicaid expansion, or the affordable care act (which Trump promises to trash on day 1). What about them??
just collateral damage in the quest for purity I suppose, let em "lay in their beds"
I would hope they would add an exception for natural gas powered vehicles for use-cases where pure electrics don't fit. Hopefully by 2030 these use cases are few, but I imagine that some would still exist. NGV's are a good compromise as they produce less carbon than gas, and virtually none of the other nasties that have to be filtered out with catalytic converters, urea, etc..
From a science standpoint its amazing stuff, but when there are so many unwanted children out there, it kind of makes you go.. huh...
I had a boss that spent hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fertility treatments for his wife so that they could conceive, again.. huh..
Of course, I had two children with my wife, when we were both over 35 without really trying, so the genetic imperative wasn't really an issue for me.
I'd like to think I would be just as fulfilled with adopted kids, or no kids, but I can't be my own control group.
This is the potential of technology, but it will only be realized if we get smart and do things like mandate shorter work weeks, or a universal income
unfortunately our corporate overlords have so completely brainwashed the population into thinking such ideas are dangerous that it will never happen, and we are just going to end up with a bunch of excess population.
I agree with this, generally, but I think 140 is a little too tight. I find myself with thoughts that end up in the 160 - 200 character range, and it's annoying to break them up.
Of course there are numerous "tweet longer" services that will turn a longer post into an image, so it's not hard to work around if you choose to
Well, I'm not going to say it deserves a +5, because it's my comment, but you are confusing some things here, namely how shotguns are sized (bore or gauge), and how the shot within shotgun shells is sized:
Shotguns, in modern usage are spec-ed out in the following sizes: 12 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and.410 bore (yes I know there are others, but this is what you'll find at your local walmart)
Note there are two UOMs here "gauge" and "bore"..
I don't know the conversion from gauge to inches
Well.. again.. and as I said earlier, gauge isn't a measurement of inches. It is a measurement of how many lead balls of the size of the bore would go into a pound (I double checked, it is a pound).. Now, naturally, given the density of lead this can be (and has been for modern manufacturing) standardized to a given diameter. So that is how gauge and bore works.. PS: You can also go the other way if you want to be silly, a.410 bore would be a 67 "gauge"...
shot sizes, like #4 bird, or #4 buck, or #8 bird, or BBB, or T, or F is measured differently, a different conversation...
.410 is a measurement of the diameter of the bore. "gauge" is a measurement how many lead balls, cast into balls the size of the bore, you would need to equal some weight ( a pound I think, I refuse to google it...).
Peter Deusberg, there you go, Mr. Angrypants... that name wasn't that hard to look up...
And what are your qualifications to determine that he is incorrect for what he actually states?!
My qualifications, besides a BS in biology are the ability to read the overwhelming consensus of peer-reviewed scientific studies performed at credible academic institutions. It's the same qualifications that let me know that the universe is expanding, quantum entanglement is real thing, and a whole bunch of other stuff that is outside my immediate fields of study is actually true
A crackpot with an advanced degree is still a crackpot....
I'm supposed to believe a Harvard degreed Medical Doctor with a specialization in Internal medicine for 25 years is a nutjob for expressing her "expert" opinion, because of a zero like you?
yes, she is a nutjob, but not because of what I think, because the opinion she states goes against decades of peer-reviewed scientific research from reputable academic institutions... being "harvard-degreed" doesn't preclude one from holding stupid and dangerous, and wrong opinions... PS... fuck you very much, you angry asshole...
I think that's enough background to have reservations over vaccinations.
No it isn't. Having a degree does not equal being right about something.
The a biology professor with a background in infection diseases (emeritus now I think), that will tell anyone who will listen that HIV doesn't cause AIDS. He's wrong, and all his degrees and experience don't make him any less wrong...
Both of the major political parties have their issues, that is not debatable
But, proclaiming "meh, there all the same" is just intellectual laziness pretending to be jaded, streetwise cynicism.
The democrats support gay marriage, the republicans do not The Democrats acknowledge man made climate change exists, and is a significant problem. The republicans maintain, its a myth, a conspiracy cooked up in the scientific community to damage capitalism The democrats maintain that the government has some responsibility to assure citizens' access to basic health care, the Republicans think selling health insurance across state lines will magically fix the problems despite statistical evidence that it will not Hillary Clinton states that she will maintain the governments ban on torture, Trump states he'll bring back waterboarding "and a lot worse"
There are legitimate, impactful differences whether you pretend you don't see them or not.
usually what happens is raw input is passed through some kind of OWASP filter or something similar which turns any naughty characters (sql injection or whatever) into something safe.. The only problem with that is that if you feed that into your hashing algorithm it ain't gonna match...
So whatcha do then smart guy? you encode it before it ever leaves the client, and then de-encoded it back to the naughty characters for purposes of hash comparison...
Or... you just get lazy and block the naughty characters from being chosen..
Of course, even if you aren't completely lazy, your little scheme isn't perfect: What happens then is, unless you somehow prevent it when the passwords are generated (which is just a different kind of lazy than blocking characters), some QA jackass manually types the encoding pattern in their password which breaks your little scheme.
Of course what happens then, you append some unique to you combination of symbols and characters onto the encoding scheme (and you don't tell the meany in QA) so that you know when it's "really" encoded naughty bits, and not intentional..

You need to get this information to NASA IMMEDIATELY!
I suspect they never considered it.
How else could the universe be more than 6000 light years across when it was all created 6000 years ago by YHWH
I would image lots, especially in rainy locations.

Vote Trump, he'll put a stop to this crap
There is also the possibility that you have no clue what well written java, ran through a highly tuned VM is capable of..
Java and C# make this brain dead simple. Implement the comparable interface, or a custom comparator, and then call Collections.sort...
I do not see the difficulty/complexity in that
