What if the 18-wheeler were designed in such a way that it was very awkward and painful to check mirrors....
But 18 wheelers *are* awkward, and regularly kill cyclists and pedestrians because they have awkward mirrors that are painful to use. We reacted as a society by requiring special driving licenses and regular health checks (at least in Europe).-
I think a solution to the problem is to ensure that programmers have access to well known paradigms that can be copy/pasted and by depending on well known libraries, and to use the existing tools that can analyze source code and computer code for known issues.
I don't think there is a silver bullet for avoiding errors. We're human, after all. Any sufficiently useful language for system programming *will*, by definition, allow you to shoot yourself in the foot.
Yes, but that's beside the point. This forces Ivan to go through US Mail in order to violate US election laws.
This.
By forcing would-be ad purchasers to first commit a few federal crimes, Facebook is off the hook. They can then claim that they acted in good faith to allow the ad. It's an elegant solution from Facebook's point of view.
I've been working from home for about 15 years, and in concert with US colleagues while living in Europe. As a result I was working night shifts constantly -- meaning I spent much of my time alone and in darkness.
Since that time I've grown increasingly isolated. Some time ago I had a nervous breakdown.
I'm not sure that working from home constantly is very good for your health...
We all have this power. If someone says something racist to you at a bar, you can record him and publish it with his real name on the youtubes. But should you?
I agree that CNN should not be the gatekeeper of free speech on the internet. But I think this points to a more basic problem: when do you "out" someone's personal details? Is it enough for someone newsworthy to retweet you for your personal life to be up for grabs?
I think that it would have been better if CNN had simply said: "This person's details are not newsworthy, so we have anonymised him". My gut feeling (could be wrong) is that this comment was not put past an editor who could weigh in. Another reason could be that CNN does not have an appropriate policy in place to avoid internet shaming, and that the writer acted on his own gut feeling to do so.
In any case, this should make us think about such a policy....
Marx was a Hegelian philosopher; he believed that in order to change society for the better you had to depict current society as an extreme.
Then you propose a new society as an utopia. All this in the hope of achieving a new equilibrium somewhere between both extremes. in Hegelianism this process is called "thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis."
So I agree that he was wrong, but so was capitalism. And in the end we did get socialism with weekends off work, pensions, holidays, health care, firefighting, etc. So in that way he was right as well, and so was marxism.
Nah we just burn witches, torture heretics to death, murder gays, tell people not to use condoms (so they have no control over their lives and are easily manipulated), erect schools with the express purpose of brainwashing children (Jezuits: "give me a child until 7 and I will give you the man"). Christians commit terrorist attacks against Children (Oklahoma daycare bombing).
All of these are identical to what ISIS is doing.
Fucking hang yourself tool.
It would appear that you are the tool. You're the one repeating nonsense that's been specifically drafted for your minute brain.
You're implying that there is something innately wrong with terrorism.
I believe that terrorism/guerrilla/freedom fighting is warranted in some circumstances. Though not for purely religious reasons. There has to be a political component that cannot be addressed peacefully -- and the Troubles fit that description.
Islam is as much a political idea as a religious one, if not more so.
Ah that argument again. Christianity is precisely the same. It has a sharia, it has a vengeful god, it dictates politics based on those.
I expect that if you're not aware that you're lying you are American. Most of Europe was shaped for hundreds of years by Christian politics. It still is to some extent just like the US (think the abortion debate and LGBT++ rights).

You have not lived in a house with four females.
Were you mating with all four?
Is this the level of comments nowadays?
All of them obfuscated!
No. Once again it's show that the US high school system is now so shite that even US school systems don't want anything to do with it anymore.
Any non-paywalled links?
Yes, but that's beside the point. This forces Ivan to go through US Mail in order to violate US election laws.

In rural areas the costs are reasonable but the pay is rediculously low.
The speeling is pretty awful too.
That's possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Well, on the plus side, you just heard something dumber.
For some unfathomable reason, that link is pointing the way of the dodo. Sad!

Education is only for the few who are blessed with rich parents.
Please take off your USA glasses. Most industrialised nations seem to do fine with a year's tuition being less than $1000 a year.
Depends on where you live. In 2000, you could live pretty well on $10 an hour. You still can today.
That's insane! I make 40 Euros an hour or so...
Isn't the personal service a large part of why we go out to eat and drink?
Do you mean the annoying waiters that come around 10 times to ask if you want more water? Personally I get the urge to shoot them.
Really, the Raspberry Pi hackers need to reverse engineer the stuff in the 'closed' controllers and replace them.
That is illegal due to the DMCA.
The Pandaboard is one example of such a dead end.
The Banana Pi is another. Avoid it.
Do you buy a lot of goat related products?
I check my laptop all the time. No issues.

If your cause involves killing innocent people you are a coward and a terrorist, and your cause deserves to crumble into nothing.
What if the cause you're fighting against is causing innocent victims?
You're implying that there is something innately wrong with terrorism.
