If you really wanted the sale to happen, you'd just sell a big block of tickets to the owner of the bot in a single transaction rather than having them beat up your server and pay extra costs for thousands of credit card transactions.
If your choice was confinement to bed or opiates, I'll bet you would sooner of later risk the opiates if that was an option. Pain can get severe enough to blot out thought even in the absence of a terminal condition. The answer used to be risk the opiates and give them years of more of less normalcy. The answer now seems to be let 'em scream.
It's more complicated than that. At some point, the dose that controls the pain is the same as the lethal dose. The Nav1.7 blocker allows a much lower dose of opiates to totally block pain without the sedation or suppressing breathing.
This is a cable company, where "your call is very important to us" so you'll only be on hold for an hour before someone who almost speaks english answers your call and has no idea what to do with the information you wish to provide them.
In civil court, failure to follow best practice can indeed lead to a finding for the plaintiff. Alas, in order to get a city on this, you'd need to show that you had an accident and that the short yellow was solely responsible. All while the judge stands ready to dismiss the case on the thinnest of procedural excuses or crazy legal theory that absolves the government even if it is actually at fault.
If you somehow prevail anyway, they'll just have a longer all reds time to avoid collisions in the intersection while still unfairly fining people. If the collision was a rear ender from stopping short, they'll claim their maximum liability is the amount of the ticket since it was all your fault for not running the red.
That's the level of corruption many cities will sink to if there isn't an overriding law to stop them.
I say that as a one time resident of a town where the police would tailgate you hoping you would speed up to make a safe enough gap to pull over so they could nail you for speeding.
Here, we have a "recommendation" with no force of law. That would need to change and the cameras would have to be replaced with models that capture the lights and video of the car before it could be feasible.
Either way, the current cameras would have to be banned outright.
Trump is just more of the same only louder. I don't have much hope that the guy who was proud to be known for yelling "you're fired" is going to have any empathy for the unemployed. No, I don't suggest Hillary as an alternative. Your best shot is to vote in the primary hoping to get not Trump or not Hillary.
That doesn't mean that the local area doesn't have a unique character compared to the larger more readily recognized area. Where I live, there's a number of small towns within the metro area of a large city. They are quite distinct even if nobody out of the area has ever heard of them.
So make sure it is hell for Morbux when he blows past you in his Ferarri. Currently, the poor end up in what is constructively debtor's prison and Morbux peels a couple of bills off of his pocket change and goes on his way more annoyed than chastened.
Actually, that's another area that needs serious fixing. Public defenders are often so overbooked that they first meet their client IN the courtroom. It's not actually reasonable to call that representation.
In some U.S. cities, if they don't get 'enough' revenue from a red light cameras, they shorten the yellow to bring in more. If necessary, they'll make it short enough to create a zone where it is theoretically impossible to stop in time when the light goes yellow.
The system you describe would do nothing to stop that patently unfair and dangerous practice.
The worst are places where you can either pay the ticket or you can contest it, but the non-refundable court cost is greater than the fine in that case (and you might still have to pay the ticket).
The separation of liability goes well beyond what you can accomplish in a contract since it includes criminal liability. For example, if a corporation commits negligent homicide, there is a high barrier to having that liability fall upon anyone personally. That is, typically nobody goes to jail or ends up picking up litter along the highway.
As for the rest, if you are referring to capricious actions, then I agree. There is no place for capriciousness in the rule of law. OTOH, if you mean that the people collectively cannot justly pass laws imposing those conditions on corporations, you are quite incorrect. It can and to some degree probably should. Corporations have no natural rights, they are not human beings. You are free to act as yourself if you want to avoid those limitations since as a human being, you do have natural rights.
Actually, if your code has well defined interfaces and boundaries, working code CAN just sit there still working when other parts change. If yours can't do that, you should consider disentangling the spaghetti and modularizing. A decent software engineer knows that and actually does that.
FYI, what you call an undocumented dependency is very common in every reasonably big DE
A nice standard interface with lots of "might" in the definition?
You do realize I wasn't trying to define the one true API there, but just highlighting a few sane alternatives, right?
I'm not sure why you think a confused deputy is more secure than an suid binary. Of course, you can use fscaps to grant the binary only the priveleges it needs which is safer still.
Corporations are not human beings, they have no rights, not even the right to exist. If you want to own property and engage in private business, have at it. As a human being, you DO have those rights.
If you wish to work cooperatively with others, you are also welcome to do so. However, if you wish to sever personal liability from the organization formed, that is a PRIVILEGE that the public may (or may not) choose to grant you. If it does, it will be under the condition that the organization act first in the public interest. Should it fail to do so, it's charter will be dissolved.
At this size and price, Pi is going to take a serious bite out of the Arduino community.
It will take some, but the AVR (not necessarily Arduino) still has a few distinct advantages for some applications. TheRPi is a 3.3V device and the GPIO pins are NOT 5V tolerant. There's a lot of nice TTL hardware out there that it won't play nice with. Meanwhile, you can get a very small pro-mini clone from China for $2 each. The other area the RPi won't touch is extreme low power. If you remove the regulator and power LED (or on the pro-mini, cut the solder link to them), you can drop to 10s of micro-amps in various sleep modes and wake on pin-change interrupts or the watchdog timer. That makes a big difference if you want to run it on a LiIon battery. If you underclock the AVR (using the clock divider register) it can easily operate reliably down to the low cutoff voltage of the battery.
That's not meant to take anything from the Pi zero. It opens a lot of possibilities where you need more CPU power than the AVR can offer.
That's because most (but not all) USB serial devices use +5/0v rather than +/-12V. Most but unfortunately not all of them are tolerant of +-12V. By the same token, some 12V serial devices will communicate with a TTL serial port and some won't.
Going by spec, it's the TTL level port's fault if they don't communicate, but it's so common these days we might as well consider TTL the standard and 12V operation is a bonus.
The TTL level ports started showing up well before USB was a thing.
Just to make it worse, there are now 3.3V "serial" ports in the wild and some of them do not tolerate TTL levels! That's not good, but at least they are implemented only as header pins on the board and not a 9 pin D.
They can't make a modern reactor explode like Chernobyl did. It's not physically possible. Our oldest reactors could be convinced to have quite a meltdown and result in huge damage, but the terrorists would have to maintain control of the reactor for a good while and could not make it explode.
It may be excessive in some sense, but USB serial has absolutely replaced serial ports on desktop and laptop machines. I can get all the serial ports I want by plugging in inexpensive USB serial devices. The microcontroller in the device may be excessive, but no more so than the glue logic for a PCI device would be just to transmit at 115,200 bpx MAX.
I agree completely on the parallel port. The only remaining use I have for a parallel port is as poor man's GPIO lines. Unfortunately, for reasons that elude me, the standard for USB parallel ports doesn't accommodate that at all.

I have no idea where your bizarro notions come from, but I hope you one day find a way to return to your home dimension.
#14 is a part of LA
Incorrect. LA COUNTY is not the same as the city.
#15 & #11 are a part of Chicago.
Also incorrect
And none of those are Detroit.

Nobody puts a gun to your head to do anything at all other than go to work and pay your taxes, but there's this thing we call liberty...

You should really read that link you posted.
Detroit is a small city???
Where did he claim that? Let's see what was actually written:
Last I checked the bad spots were almost all "smaller" cities, not LA, Chicago, NY or DC
I bolded the part you seem to have missed.
Actually, if your code has well defined interfaces and boundaries, working code CAN just sit there still working when other parts change. If yours can't do that, you should consider disentangling the spaghetti and modularizing. A decent software engineer knows that and actually does that.

A common bug is still a bug.
