It's already punishable by a yellow card according to FIFA rules. The problem is that it's hard to tell whether or not they were acting.
Even Neymar's famous roll-around-and-yell this last cup vs Mexico is not clear-cut: the Mexican player clearly stepped on his ankle, so while the response may have been disproportionate, that's a subjective judgement.
Seriously? Over here you can either take (your share of) the entire estate, including all liabilities, or waive you right to all of it. Are you really claiming that in the US, debt is practically evaporating at death?
No, he's not. To clarify GP's point, "the surviving spouse is under no obligation to assume the debt" BUT if they don't do so they also can't inherit the assets It's a package deal, exactly the same as what you describe.
Of course, that doesn't stop unscrupulous debt collectors from hounding heirs who've walked away, trying to make them think they're legally responsible for the debt anyway.
Nope, I have the same problem as GP on a Nexus 5. Google maps alone (before I downgraded it) took almost 500 MB. It's also become incredibly slow, requiring on the order of a minute between launching the app and it starting to show directions.
Yes of course, it's just the government responding to militants. That's why the populace is so understanding of the plight of the civilians caught in the crossfire, right?
Hint, they're not. For example, here's a bit about the Buddhist monks who are stoking prejudice and ethnic tensions: https://www.economist.com/news...
Small nit-pick: the frequency response would more accurately be called "not flat". Saying it's "nonlinear" may make readers expect harmonics, intermodulation, and other higher-order phenomena, even if what you mean is just that it's not a straight line.
You're absolutely right - it's completely unreasonable to expect traffic patterns to change and cities to become dense again in a short period of time. Rather, this is a change we should be working towards on a generational time scale, and a politician who thinks he can squeeze traffic out of his district before the next election is delusional or disingenuous.
Express busses is a good plan, and I think the same applies to metro and light rail (nothing worse than having to be 30 stops down the line with no express to get you there). Specific bus lanes would help too, as that would make busses more robust against congestion. A well-thought-out and interconnected network is also essential: for instance, it still boggles my mind how few US cities have a rail or metro link between downtown and the airport.
In at least some places it's also possible to add safer bike lanes without hindering traffic. Many streets in my area are generously wide and could accommodate a designated bike lane, if not a physically-separated one. This would help bike adoption, as a common complaint I hear from colleagues and friends is that they'd bike but they feel unsafe on the roads.
I still believe my original argument that we need to reduce the number of cars on the road, but I agree that you can't do this quickly, and that in the short term other measures are needed.
The problem is that, setting aside whether or not it's pretty, being car-friendly doesn't appear to work very well either - in the case of highways, it's been shown that increasing the capacity of a road to bear traffic does not reduce congestion in the long term, since the load simply increases to the point of congestion again. This means we can't solve the steadily-increasing congestion by increasing capacity, so we instead have to start doing something about the number of cars on the road. Yes, public transport is lousy in much of the US at the moment, but that's in part due to the low population density (LA being a good example, and NY a good counterexample). If cities can make it harder to drive and thereby encourage people to live closer together and to work (either because they move or because work does), then the cities can simultaneously improving public transport.
I'd like to think they've tried to find a middle way, but I haven't been able to come up with one in any case.
I think mainly because whether or not it's badly designed is somewhat subjective. I tried KiCad a number of years ago but much preferred Eagle - maybe that's changed and I should try it again with the new version.
Either way, as long as the old version of Eagle works for me, I have absolutely no interest in climbing on the Autodesk subscription treadwheel.
but the most exact timing possible in C++ is nanoseconds
Of course you can get more precise than a nanosecond in C++ (as well as in any other turing-complete language). Double precision is roughly down to 10^-16, so a 1-second video could be processed with a precision of femtoseconds. Storing time as a fixed point value in a long long would get you 19 digits of precision, so you could do femtoseconds for an hour-long video. If that's not good enough, grab an arbitrary precision math library and store it down to the yoctosecond or smaller. Hell, if you really wanted to you could implement this new "unit" of time in C++ using either of these techniques and get exact precision for most common frame rates.
Finding the common multiple (of frame rate, equivalent to common divisor of the frame period) of all of these different frame rates (including the slightly-off ones like 23.9, etc...) is clever. Calling it a new unit is hyperbole, although it is convenient for wide adoption to have a name for the common multiple. Saying it's important because you *can't* do higher precision in C++ is laughable, and whomever said that should be ridiculed.
Same problem with Autodesk's acquisition of the PCB tool Eagle. I'm remaining on an older version because I use the software irregularly and am not willing to lose access to all my past projects just because I missed a license payment. Subscription tools are fine for at the office (within reason), not so much for personal use.
Wait, is your issue that Luxottica has a monopoly position on the market and can therefore distort prices, or is the issue that there are consumers who are willing and able to pay $200 for Luxottica glasses? If it's the former, that's entirely reasonable, and anti-monopoly laws should be enforced.
If it's the latter, then you're effectively advocating for price controls and the abolition of the concept of luxury goods. You're gonna need a good argument to convince me that's a reasonable position to take.
On the one hand, "STFU Patreon, no more money for you!" But on the other, Patreon could probably survive everything except a broad boycott so the person hurt most by me leaving would be the artist I want to support. I can't tolerate that, so I'm really tempted up my pledge somewhat, to re-balance things towards the artists again and to try and compensate for some of the people leaving.
Has Patreon chimed in on the controversy at all, apart from their FAQ that reads like it was written by a vacuous marketing droid?
Honest debate doesn't include you having to make your counterpart's argument for them. It wasn't at all clear that OPs point went any deeper than the linguistic difference between "to" vs "from", and for all we know you're reading your own unfounded understanding into it.
It also doesn't involve making digs at others about being autistic.
S/PDIF has no encryption, however, so that copyright bit is more of a request than a command. It should be pretty straightforward to grab an FPGA and two optical connectors, and create a S/PDIF repeater that strips out the copyright bit, should you not be able to find a transceiver chip that'd let you do the same.
What about Scotland? Even though they didn't actually declare independence, if the vote had gone differently and they'd done so, at no point would they have broken UK law, since they'd negotiated with the UK to change it first.
It's not a separate check, it is the mortgage payment. The mortgage includes the escrow. It's part of the agreement between the homeowner and the bank.
Although it often will be, it doesn't have to be. My mortgage documents (California) had a box I could tick that indicated I would be entirely responsible for insurance and taxes, and that the bank would not collect and pay them for me. I did so, as I'd rather be aware of and manage those payments myself, and I'm financially knowledgeable enough to do so. My mortgage payment therefore only contains equity and interest, nothing else.
Is it vertical extent you want, or would vertical resolution be sufficient?
I can understand if you prefer the former, and in the past I'd have advocated for 4:3 screens to give me enough screen real estate, but now I've got a 14" WQHD (2560x1440) and with a low zoom factor that feels like enough. That'll change as my eyes wear out and I need to up the zoom, but for the time being it works.
Support for high-dpi is sometimes still iffy, however.
Their backup client doesn't. However, was doing some research this morning and they now offer a bulk storage service with a public API, in a similar vein to Amazon S3 or Glacier. Was on Crashplan myself, and am now looking at pulling something together that relies either on this Backblaze B2 service, or on Glacier.
They get you with download fees as well, of course, but if I'm recovering from a data loss that'll be the least of my concerns.
LORAN is good, but it is just as vulnerable as GPS and is pretty much the same basic technology, having infrastructure on the ground instead of space.
False. GPS can be jammed for miles with no more power than in a cell phone battery, and with an antenna that comfortably fits in a pocket. Doing so with LORAN takes KW of power and an antenna you need a mast to support.
... 2. If you want people to contribute and have widespread adoption for the OS in the future you do not insult your user base or drive off potential users by using a mascot that looks like your OS is intended for nefarious purposes, kid hackers or is demonic.
Any data breach or failure of a server or system within a company, you can just imagine the looks of management when they discover you chose to use an operating system with a demon mascot on it.
So, should we instead support people's tendencies to judge a book by its cover?
If you have a good boss (they exist), then talk to them, show them what's beyond the logo, convince them why BSD convinced you it was the best tool for the job. If you have a shitty boss, well, then you have my sympathy.
Agreed, most push notifications are a pain. However, the post-after-post of "Nobody will ever want push notifications!" on this story is somewhat knee-jerk, as there are *some* reasonable uses of the notification bar.
For instance, I appreciate that my media player shows up in my notification bar with currently-playing information and controls, and I appreciate that some websites do somewhat likewise when I stream via their web page rather than my player. Likewise, notifications of updates from things that I've explicitly subscribed to are generally welcome. These may not apply to you, but "nobody wants this" is an overstatement.

No.
I've got a few beefs with the VAR regarding this last cup, but which fan doesn't at some point have issues with the ref? I still enjoyed watching.

I'd like to think they've tried to find a middle way, but I haven't been able to come up with one in any case.
They consented to it when they bought a house in an area that fell under zoning laws.
Real estate always comes with various strings attached. It's the buyer's duty to figure out what those are before they buy.
