That's not a code of conduct! It doesn't say anything about preferred gender pronouns, or diversity (well, it talks about diversity of experience, but we all know that's not what "diversity" means).
When I lived in Cali, no one talked about the weather because it was always too depressing. Always rainy and blah. And cold. And everything was brown and ugly, except for 6 weeks or so each year in spring. Silicon Valley is a nasty place, and I still don't get why anyone would want to be there if not dragged there for a job.
Sure, but how much military strength is too little? Of course, this is like asking an anorexic how much weight is too little. There is always too much!
Isn't it ironic that the supposedly pro-government party is also the one that opposes an expensive military?
Man, did you actually think you said something meaningful? Folly.
The tariffs aren't to try and fix any economic problems for the US. They are to punish China for their unfair practices such as impeding imports in various ways, government subsidizing production of goods at a loss, and manipulating their currency.
Read that again, slowly.
I think you meant "The tariffs there to try to fix economic problems for the US, for example...".
It might just be possible to be a billionaire in the US without being an evil psychopath. Maybe. But not in China, where you must be complicit in the atrocities of its government in order to succeed in any noteworthy way.
But of course China wants us to have a weaker military. Water is wet, the Pope shits in the woods, and China wants the possible military opponent with the strongest military to be weaker. What were the odds? Taiwan isn't going to conquer itself, after all.
I'm perfectly happy with web sites that do nothing until I click on a link. Everything I've seen that relies on JS tricks is just bad UX and we're better off without it. From the evidence before me, JS is used entirely to make the UX suck.
But, still, the average Web UX is vastly better than the average mobile app UX, so it's go that going for it. Sadly, mobile app UX brain damage is starting to leak into web design, so all hope will eventually be lost.
You're conflating two issues here. One is copyright. Archive.org is in the clear on that, thanks to language in the DMCA that explicitly allows archiving (and prior copyright law always allowed archiving). The other is "unauthorized access". When you make something public for everyone to see, there can be no unauthorized access. That may have changed when Verizon blocked their IPs, hard to say, but before that point there clearly was no issue.
"Dead cat" is the usual expression. When stock prices go up just because they've gone down so far recently due to legitimate bad news, that's called "the dead cat bounce".
I would like to know the ways in which Oracle is straight-up superior to Microsoft SQL Server, especially as they would pertain to a medium-sized business that is running an actual product on it (not just acting as a data hosting outsourcer).
Oracle is the most efficient in terms of how much hardware you need. I don't think you come out ahead even as a medium-sized business, though, as Oracle is so expensive. Where it shines is when you're "scaling up" - when you're past the elbow in the cost curve for server prices. That's why "scaling horizontally" caught on - prices get very non-linear when you try to scale up.
Intent is required for most crimes. The legal definition usually starts with the word "knowingly". Burglary is something like "entering or remaining on a property, when not authorized, with the intent of committing a crime".
Rather convenient propaganda for wealthy people to say "oh don't tax us, you are only hurting the poor!" when there's an entire industry supporting corporations and their owners evading taxes.
It's simple. Tax the owners, not the corporation. There, done.
If the owners want to in any way get money from what they own, then they have to get a dividend or sell stock or something.
He didn't go to the police at all. Why would you, for a lawsuit? He did go to the emergency room. His story was that he was drunk and accidentally entered the wrong house (by kicking in the door). The cops had no interest after the fact.
I had a friend who was sued by the robber who broke into hi house, then injured himself seriously by walking through the plate glass of the patio door. He won the lawsuit, for a considerable sum. We just love our lawsuits in the US.
This is Sphero, so it's just the bots. Cool toys for the modern age, even if you didn't like the new movies (BB-8 was still a cool concept). All the action figures that sold so badly Toys-R-Us went bankrupt are someone else.
They're going after them because they have money, and France needs money. Don't confuse the reason with the sales pitch. Meh, I guess if you look at this as a tariff on digital goods, it's a fairly normal thing for a government to do.
Actually, that is Republicans. Remember they were big big big on Free Trade and negotiated NAFTA but now suddenly they are toeing the Trump line even as it fails.
Actually, it is the Establishment, both Dem and GOP. It's only the outsiders like Trump and Bernie that are against globalism. Globalism at any cost is the core of the Establishment, because for the very richest, the richest 100 families, the only way for them to get richer is to have larger markets to dominate. Dozens of country-sized independent markets limit how rich you can get: you need to unite the world economy into 1 market to be the beneficiary of the race to the bottom.
Mainstream Democrats and Republicans agree on everything important: make globalism happen, so the very richest people in the world can get richer still.
A tax on a corporation is a tax on its customers, not on its owners. The costs are always passed along. Not that I cry any tears for marketeers buying ads, either.
Fortunately for us in the US, bills of attainder are unconstitutional. You can't just tax someone you don't like, or because they have money. That was one of the specific things that led to the Revolutionary War (though the event that kicked it off was attempted confiscation of "assault weapons", as we'd call them today).

Well, obviously the roads, but what else has Rome ever done for us.

I hate it. Thankfully, there's still the classic UI.

Sure, when the facts disagree with you, blame the hate facts!
As someone already posted, a criminal cannot profit from a crime, so any winnings would have been seized immediately.
He was never convicted of a crime.

Oh, I didn't get the details. The insurance company paid, is all I know. My friend didn't care that much, since insurance was handling it.
He didn't go to the police at all. Why would you, for a lawsuit? He did go to the emergency room. His story was that he was drunk and accidentally entered the wrong house (by kicking in the door). The cops had no interest after the fact.
Well, that's about 90% of Christmas toys, isn't it? But they're great for geek manbabies.
If not then anybody could go around breaking windows and claim they cut their hand on your dangerous glass window.
(or any number of other frivolous damage claims)
A friend of mine was sued by a robber for pretty much that. Fortunately, he had liability protection with his homeowners insurance.
