Congress did pass a law decades ago allowing federal prosecutors to face civil suits for cases like this but the Supreme Court subsequently just said nah, prosecutors are exempt from the law while performing their job.

All decentralized domain systems by definition do not address universality and thus require a change in user behavior. The core idea is a return to pre-internet naming where "Sal's Pizza" refers to a different establishment in different cities.

There are pros and cons to this approach but the point is not to exactly replicate DNS.

As long as you don't mind the astronomical operating cost once such a system reaches the scale of DNS, sure.

Unfortunately enforcement mechanisms for rental law in NYC are virtually non-existent so AirBNB and like are still rampant.

The problem is right there in the title: Global Housing Market. The commodification of housing has been disastrous. The cost to develop new housing and the length of time it takes has means market manipulation is always going to be an easier path to profitability. Why would anyone build something new when they can just sit on what they have and let it appreciate while renters subsidize the mortgage and taxes.

Imagine if you could just put iron ore in a warehouse and make a 25% return every year, we'd have no steel!

The dynamic typing example doesn't have anything to do with dynamic typing and is in fact already a feature of some statically-typed programming languages.

You wouldn't schedule downtime for the middle of the day. You schedule downtime during your period of least usage.

An extra nine lines and extra runtime complexity just to avoid putting it in a comment.

This is a great example of why documentation is important though. If that comment had documented why 75 had been removed and what the impact of that was you would know how to address this situation.

In fact, even the fact that the comment is now wrong tells you that the change was ill-considered and needs to be revisited.

It's very odd that you would group Hellen Keller in with facilitated communication. Keller communicated with many people without Anne Sullivan's help and was the author of many works.

There are even videos of her on YouTube speaking, reading braille, and communicating through hand-spelling.

There is no bound on n, it always searches to INT_MAX regardless of n.

If you do any non-trivial devops works on cloud providers it's immediately obvious why this is nonsensical.

Let's take the most basic example: auto-generated ids. Many resources in AWS, GCS, etc have auto generated ids (just use tags you say, but many don't have tags or tags are used as part of some other system). Now, when terraform creates that resource you have to modify the config to contain the id. But if you have any sense terraform runs as part of a CI system that lets others review your code before merging, deploy to staging, etc.

So now does the terraform process need to make an automatic git push? What if there's a conflict? Does it make a PR that has to be manually merged? All of this is much more complicated than just having one JSON file in S3.

I have actually managed resources with Ansible where you have this problem and it's worse. And this is just _one_ thing.

Is Terraform's state story perfect? No. There are definitely annoyances, and one thing I'd love to see is a way to declaratively handle imports, renames, etc. when you need to, but it's better than the alternative.

This configuration is for streets without enough room for a dedicated bike lane. An edge-lane road is as wide as a standard two-way with no bike lane.

It's been a while since we reinvented the wheel, hasn't it.

I've had the opposite experience living in Brooklyn and traveling to Europe. Saying I was from New York was boring but—Brooklyn being in vogue at the time—I quickly learned to be more specific and found lots of fast friends wanting to know about what it was like living there.

I had a Game Gear growing up and 3 hours is way more battery life than I ever got out of that thing. 1 hour is more in-line with my experience.

The strike price is now higher than the sale price for most employees and former employees so practically they cannot sell.

This doesn't inhherently have anything to do with inheritance. Delegation is the compositional solution to this problem and some languages do have built in sugar for that. It usually looks something like:

    class F150(@delegate private val underlying: Car) { ... }
    class F150(private val underlying: Car) : Car by Underlying { ... }
    // etc

To be fair, that's really more of a python-specific deficiency than a general problem with significant whitespace. Haskell for example interprets further-indented lines as a continuation of the current expression, only ending the expression when it sees a new line of the same or lesser indentation.

You might want to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_bear_attacks_in_... then. Note that the bear article is limited by region and only to fatal attacks because a list of broad in scope as the wolf attacks article would be never-ending.

Lots of predators are far more dangerous to people than wolves but wolves provoke a visceral reaction because they've been demonized in a way bears, etc haven't.

As of 3.0 you can apparently run docker-compose directly against podman in daemon mode (thought I haven't tried it).

"I'm out of town this weekend, you can use my apartment" does not grant somebody unlimited permission to use your apartment. The supreme court is working backwards from their conclusion here.

Switzerland has heavy restrictions on owning ammunition, it is not comparable to the US

This is exactly the case where you don't need a library. This is a single function (or two) and you can easily translate an existing code example into the language you're using in a few minutes and be done with it.

This is not true. When the smallpox vaccine was being rolled out many restaurants, social clubs, and other places of congregation required proof of vaccination.

It's not true. He got 50.8% of the vote. Even if you just look at the first round of IRV he got 35% of first-choice votes (https://ballotpedia.org/District_Attorney_election_in_San_Fr...)

If you really want to know look know further than Cuomo's mismanagement of the governor's office (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/andrew-cuomo-miscond...)

Those things were deadlocked by his office. The legislature had tried legalizing weird years ago, for example. His office is notoriously dysfunctional and only gets around to doing anything when he needs a political win.

Acquisitions mostly. They've gotten into trouble with the state over their acquisition of TWC when they failed to uphold the conditions of the merger which required them to improve and expand service.

That's 100% bullshit. Google made AMP to lock media companies into their ad network. All AMP pages have to use their ad network exclusively.

If they wanted to penalize slow sites they could have… penalized slow sites. There are numerous metrics (paint time, etc) that they can track for that.
