Simple likes do have some advantages. The fact that you can't down mod prevents a lot of trolling and control of the narrative by censorship. It forces people to post a reply instead of just modding down. You see both sides of the argument.
In that case the correct action is to stop as quickly as possible. Any injuries that occur are the fault of the driver that swerved into oncoming traffic.
Any road where the decision would be between suicide and hitting a pedestrian is badly designed and the fault for any accidents is with the designer. If the road creates any situation where a car travelling at the speed limit (or appropriate speed for weather conditions) is unable to avoid injuring or killing someone, the road is at fault.
The only way the car would be liable is if it exceeded the safe speed limit or if it malfunctioned in some way.
This. The car manufacturers won't even write code to make a decision either, because that opens them up to legal liability for that decision. They will design the car to stop as quickly as possible without changing direction.
First, it's a school laptop so the expectation of privacy is probably minimal to start with.
Secondly, Google doesn't monteize personal data without permission (e.g. asking to use your photos on Google maps, opt-in on personalized advertising), and has special educational accounts for children that are even more restricted. Remember that you normally can't even get a Google account to use a Chromebook unless you are of legal age to agree to it in your jurisdiction.
By the way, if you have evidence that Google is using personal data it does not have explicit opt-in permission to use then I'd love to see it. I will file the GDPR complaint personally, all you need to do is show me the proof I need.
Here rent control means existing units can't be advertised for above market price, and there are limits on how much it can go up, and requirements for new builds to have a mixture of affordable and luxury housing.
In other words Twitter isn't the enemy of free speech you think it is. They allow groups that the government considers terrorists, as long as they stick to the rules about not calling for genocide on Twitter.
Do you really want the government to take over Twitter so they can be less biased against conservatives? Because if they do then groups on their official shit list will be banned.
Of course they do, but they are also committed to absolute freedom of speech which means not banning such organisations either. That's what PayPal are upset about.
Otherwise how would Gab be different to Twitter? That's the whole point of it.
And just to be clear I don't support PayPal, I'm just explaining why Gab is not Twitter.
The spies know that you know they are spying and likely feeding them bad info. They probably assign low value to anything heard on a Trump phone call unless they can corroborate it. It's still very useful intel though, because even knowing what they want you to know has value, not to mention all the stuff that is true and more general stuff like the President's mood/state of mind, speech patterns and unfiltered reactions. Well, okay, the latter is usually on Twitter 10 minutes later, but still...
The reason they haven't also banned Twitter is that Twitter has a policy of not allowing that kind of thing on its network. While it is far from perfect when it comes to implementing that policy, the issue with Gab is that it explicitly allows speech that Paypal does not.
I expect the other argument will be that Paypal should be neutral and just act as a payment processor, which is somewhat compelling because it would be pretty bad if banks started booting customers who said things they didn't like.
It's not a lack of curiosity, it's a lack of opportunity/need and directing their attention elsewhere.
I learned to charge a tyre when I saw my dad do it. These days cars are a lot not reliable and I've never had to use that skill. The younger ones just don't have the opportunity to learn or a pressing need to.
Same with computers. Even the embedded people often don't know much about the hardware, they just buy a driver library or protocol stack. Someone else mentioned Arduino and Pi, but both of those are mostly just library driven for most users.
Good thing too, why waste time with that stuff when you can just use a tried and tested solution?
Although in this case the person responsible seems to be Patrik Flykt, who added the code with this commit about 4 years ago: https://github.com/systemd/sys...
Keep a broken USB flash drive around. If they demand the crypto keys, tell them they are on that drive and it's the only copy. They must have broken it when they collected it, so now there is no way anyone can unlock those drives.
Rent control does encourage more housing to be built. Without rent control you get a lot of expensive housing that often sits empty for a long time waiting for someone willing to pay those sky high rents. Happens a lot in London, all they build are luxury flats.
With rent control there is an incentive to build more affordable homes rather than big luxury apartments or McMansions.
The other thing rent control helps with is ensuring that there are a mixture of people. In some European cities there are laws mandating a mixture of affordable and luxury housing so that you don't end up with rich and poor areas.
A better option is to build new towns and cities in underpopulated areas, and provide incentives for jobs to be located there, and decent public transport links.
Japan did that recently. A new train line (the Tsukuba Express) was build, with new towns all along it. Each down has decent facilities on its own, plus the trains offer fast commuter access to central Tokyo. Office space is available too, attractively priced to help companies set up outside central Tokyo (but with easy access for meetings with other companies). There has been a push for satellite offices too, allowing workers to spend some or all of their time there.
Modern life is partly to blame here. Babies and toddlers need constant attention, and it's very difficult for people to provide that when both parents have to work and get stuff done. Screens are an easy and cheap way to distract children for a few minutes while you put the shopping away or whatever, so the addiction starts early.
GMT doesn't include DST changes, it's fixed and exactly the same as UTC.
In the summer the UK goes on to BST, or British Summer Time, or GMT+1, or UTC+1. But GMT stays fixed.
The main bit of ambiguity is that astronomers were using GMT to mean the period from noon to noon, so that all their observations from one night fell on the same date. That's pretty obscure though.
That's what happens when your CEO posts lots of internal information on Twitter. Musk is the one making public promises about production targets, forthcoming features and the like. Most companies keep quiet about such things until they are ready to put out a press release after the numbers have been met or the product is on sale.
Maybe a significant moment in Apple's history, if they are finally switching to USB-C instead of their proprietary Lightning bullshit.
I wouldn't celebrate just yet though. You can bet that they will do something to make it crappy and expensive and only work properly with Apple certified stuff.

Indeed, conservatives modded the post you are replying to "troll", so great is the offense they took at it. Too many snowflakes on both sides.

High density housing brings social problems too.

I know you guys loves you feet and inches, but this is getting silly.

- Football pitches (American?) for area
- Elephants for weight
Are there any other non-SI units I should be aware of?

Yeah, I expect USB host mode won't be supported. At least not to any useful degree.

most sexual harassment/assault being tolerated appears to happen in SJW-oriented locations
Isn't the rather more obvious and likely explanation that we simply find out about it in those locations more often because SJWs bring it to light?
