My point is that there exist concentrations of a substance that are below the threshold of practical detection. And it was my hypothesis that natural sugar metabolism keeps BAC below 50 ppm (0.005 percent). If so, it won't show up above the error margin on breath or blood tests.
Imagine a world where a fleeting indiscretion is worth a life sentence. People with bladder problems already have to deal with this when a first offense of public urination lands them on the sex offender registry.
If a substantial fraction of swing voters are among "the segment of the population who fell for the trap", then ignoring "the segment of the population who fell for the trap" will cause you to fail to miss trends.
Thanks for clarifying. I agree with what you wrote in #51234465. But I was responding to a common sentiment on Slashdot that Android ought to be enough Linux for anyone, despite the "all maximized all the time" window management policy of the vast majority of Android deployments (with the exception of Remix OS), many popular Android applications' failure to treat mouse events differently from touch events for things like selection of text and objects, and even fewer compatible printers than CUPS.
You claim that monopolies are government-created, and that natural monopolies aren't, because a government could spend more money to remove it. I'm finding this puzzling. If monopolies are to be avoided by government action, shouldn't government go trust-busting?
I'm thinking yes. The city has a monopoly on its roads. It uses this monopoly on roads to bolster its monopoly on rights of way for utilities. Isn't using one monopoly to bolster another monopoly the definition of a violation of section 2 of the Sherman Act?
follow all politicians using multiple anonymous accounts and then note whatever they delete.
The client ID of the application for archiving politicians' Tweets could be blocked, and the user account doing this following could be blocked. In addition, Twitter limits an account to following about 5,000 other accounts until the account itself has a substantial (undisclosed) number of followers. That limits the number of jurisdictions whose legislatures a single account can archive.
Apple could have made iOS 9 for iPhone 4S without the heaviest features, just as early iPhones didn't get multitasking when it was first added to iOS. Or Apple could unlock the four-year-old device's bootloader for others to support.
Are you seriously arguing *for* government mandated [screenings for] a medical condition? Seriously?
I was more predicting that others will likely argue for it. Occasionally arguing positions that one does not favor keeps discussion from collapsing into an echo chamber.
Say a lawful U.S. resident no longer qualifies for a driver's license because of auto-brewery syndrome. So instead, she plans to take the bus to and from work. But the bus doesn't run 24/7; it's closed at night, on Saturday evenings, and all day 58 days out of the year. (Source: fwcitilink.com) And her employer refuses to give her more bus-friendly hours, instead threatening to fire her.
"Mein Kampf" was arguably a derivative work itself. There were a lot of others writing similar racialist pamphlets or books in the late 19th- and early 20th- centuries.
Such as Henry Ford. Much of Mein Kampf is plagiarized from a German translation of Ford's The International Jew.
There is also a federal statute called the Americans with Disabilities Act that requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.
Would ways of doing so include suing employers for more bus-friendly hours on grounds that a requirement to drive would discriminate against her medical condition?
This woman should not take the blame for a medical condition that she did not know about.
On the other hand, in the age of government-subsidized health care, the government might argue that she "reasonably should have known" about it since her annual physical. Perhaps this case might be the excuse to pass a law requiring blood alcohol screening in the standard set of annual tests that insurers in the state must cover.
Third-party URL shorteners are no longer needed on Twitter because Twitter automatically converts links to use its own shortener before counting characters. If Twitter's shortener dies, it won't matter much because Twitter itself will also have died.
Nowadays, unless you're referring specifically to A/UX, "UX" means user experience, and "*n?x" means systems that conform to a useful subset of the Single UNIX Specification.
And not just "suits" as in executives who traditionally wear business suits. It can also mean lawsuits if Activision starts using the copyright in its games to take down streams of rival leagues. At least Capcom,[1] Nintendo,[1] and Sega[2] have been known to use copyright against fan videos and streams, and Activision had a TV rights dispute with KeSPA a few years back.

Slashdot Mirror
It is a statistical error to apply rounding multiple times to one number. If you have 0.0049, you round ONCE and get 0.00. Otherwise, you introduce a bias of about 5% of one ulp. It's like reencoding an image to JPEG multiple times: the errors accumulate.

Tell that to Hillary who hires the first person who can spell "I-T" to manage her server.
At least it's better than hiring Robert "Pennywise" Gray.

Less than 50 ppm rounds down
Actually in most if not all rounding systems it rounds up to 0.01
Since when does 0.0049% round to 0.01%?

I thought employers with at least 15 employees were required to accommodate an employee's disability. What am I missing?
Would it be better to try for an automatic first post by linking to Tech2?
Any reason you pluralized...
Probably to troll grammar National Socialists. You bit.
I'd love it if all copies of The Communist Manifesto came pre-Fisked
As would I with APK posts. In fact, I feel so strongly about it that I opened a page on my wiki to collaboratively Fisk APK's claims about hosts.

If you don't like the law, get it changed
Would ways of doing so include suing employers for more bus-friendly hours on grounds that a requirement to drive would discriminate against her medical condition?
But does this "tiny concentration of alcohol in everyone's blood" exceed 0.0050 percent (50 ppm)? If not, then it rounds down to 0.00.

Exactly. Your presence on the road is itself considered "damages", much as with statutory damages for copyright infringement.
