I read this to mean sanitized in a gateway type layer.

That's interesting, the theme comes up in Starfield as well.

Even the quantum theories that "work" have infinities conveniently thrown under the rug.

The city I live in is sarcastically called "Hamiltron"

The F-35 has been plagued with defects. Even the ejector seat had a defect.

No, but watching from outside the US, can't each party choose better candidates?

My first language was Locomotive Basic 1.1 on an Amstrad 6128. The best thing about it was the huge manual that came with it. Not only did it have FOR/NEXT but also WHILE/WEND and the interesting ON x GOTO y1,y2..yn where x was anything that evaluated to an integer and the y's were line numbers.

A gold standard would lead to deflation. Noone wants to get an annual 2 to 5 percent paycut while paying interest on a mortgage on a house that goes down in value every year.

You can't have statistics on a website without /s

yep, 55 days on some cards

and no, these surveys are as reliable as the ones before elections, same with other modern democracies

Is the requires release... line correct e.g.should it be add or sub?

Also, there is the additional check... line which seems to imply the same thing.

I really liked my windows phone. The colourful live tiles and the physical design were great. What it lacked was 3rd party apps.

If people voted for them and they do this then that is the system working as it should be. Society isn't run by an elite group of the learned.

I'm nearly up to 90,000 in my 2013 Nissan Leaf. Battery at about %75 of original capacity. I hear this "EV's aren't as green as you think" trope all the time. People even talk about environmental damage at lithium mines as if drilling for oil is this ultra-clean process that never has any environmental impact. I think people would think twice about using petrol if the pollution was solidified and dumped on their front lawn.

This way please Dr. Crummy

Yeah. A rebrand should accompany new features. This is doing the easy part first in the laziest way possible.

If he is making a financial management app he should call it "Fritter".

Check out the prices, $2600 for 8 Gb and $9960 for 40 Gb

Upvoting can mean you support the discussion, not just that you support one view or another.

To your point though, I think two shifts in attitude are in play. One, technology has a higher bar to reach when it comes to safety. We accept that to err is human and expect that a human driver will have remorse and shame and may even be punished. With a self-driving car these things don't exist. Two, we have a lower tolerance to death and injury. Imagine cars didn't exist (but for some reason roads did) and you invented the car with all of today's safety standards. You would never get it approved.

You do have a King though. What would happen if the PM went to see him to form a government and they disagreed? The King is the one with armed guards, military rank and a fortress.

In New Zealand where we don't have a specific constitution or amendments we have a set a laws ^1 that end up in the same place. An example is libel, which both countries have laws against. In NZ such laws are debated in parliament and voted on just as in the US. However in the US there was an additional objection based on it violating the first amendment but then the law was made anyway so it seems politicians in the US can make laws that override amendments in specific situations. The US also has their Supreme Court which seems to play a far more active role than NZ's and also more powerful in that it can creates precedents in the interpretation of laws for example allowing students to wear items of symbolic protest in school.

^1 In 1990 we got a law called the Bill of Rights Act which included freedom of expression.

Edit: added ^1

"you know that what these experts say have merit"

No, we don't know that at all.

Also when writing (as opposed to talking) you can actually use quotes (as demonstrated by the quotes around "quote unquote"). However in the case of "benign" the quotes are implying, correctly, that it's not benign at all. My preferred method when talking is to use hand signals for quotes, question marks and on occasion, exclamation points.

At 48 I've stopped fixing other people's things.

The ones from around the edge (you can tell by the distintive curve on one side) are sold as 6900 AF's

An informative, well written article to start the year.

That was hilarious. A great read. I say this for those like me that dont read the article and go straight to the comments.

In this situation, the reserve bank absolutely should take over SVB's assets and liabilities, that is what its for and what it can do easily and painlessly. The govt is not involved and no tax dollars are involved. No customer of SVB should be out of pocket and certainly no employee of a customer of SVB should be. The losers are the shareholders of SVB as their equity is wiped out and some of SVB's employees will lose their jobs.
