As is cloudfare. I have lost count of sites that pirate our software that are using cloudfare.
Cloudfare know of the problem and refuse to do anything about it.

Cloudfare know of the problem and refuse to do anything about it.
But it is not ideal granted. But compared to how it appears to be in the US. Coerced into being an informer, mandatory minimums etc - it isn't so bad
Anything you can argue in court is personal (which is quite a lot) and at worst you are looking at a few hours of community service in most cases.

------- Since the 1990s, doctors have been under more and more pressure to treat pain as a serious medical issue. Pharmaceutical companies took advantage of this desire, marketing opioid painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin as a safe, effective solution to pain. ------
privatised health care and the profit incentive to prescribe high cost pain kills. I believe the Drs get a kickback from the companies for pushing a particular brand (could be wrong on that though).
Also, who put the pressure on the Drs to treat pain as such? Politicians? Why would they? I imagine leant on (or the term is "lobbied" by big pharma. Would be interesting to see the "donations"* paid to politicans from big pharma right around that time and who profited from this.
* I always find this funny who we in the west call this "donations" but when reporting on third world countries it is termed a "bribed". Paying money to get what you want from government so you can make more money....
Does the US just over prescribe painkillers, meaning more flood to the blackmarket?
Is it people are getting it from the Dr and accidentally ODing?
Are the Drs prescribing without care, so those who want the drug for a high and no medical reason can?
I never knew painkillers to be used as party drug / fun drug in the UK (outside of the heroin using demographic) nor ever heard of some one ODing on prescribed painkillers.
Seems strange it is such a big issue in the US
Really? Looking beyond what is drilled in to the population from birth and the US is very rule bound in my experience compared to Europe. Whilst over there I got ticketed for parking at the wrong angle, crossing the road in the wrong place. Granted not a rule, but got questions by police for walking and many other situations I forget.
Perhaps European countries have this many rules / laws but I have never experienced them being enforced
Although things are better these days than there were, there is not complete equality - and I am not speaking legally.
There is no need to "come out" to your friends and family that you are straight and like girls (if you are male and vice versa).
Until there is no bigotry, until there is literally no difference in what sex you prefer, then something like this will have an effect on your life, thus it may have played a part in Tim's view regarding his current position.
and? Why should they have special protection over things? Why cannot some other made up, modified over the years stories be held in such high regard?
When with a bit of planning and foresight it could all be avoided.
Is a shame
A string in c# is "I am a string". Single quote, is used for a char 'a' and cannot be a string.
I am going to use this in future.
Same issue for logins
At the end of the day, as a freelancer, in two years time IF the project takes off, chances are you are not working on it
It just is not needed and waste of time.
Worse than that, the majority of tests I have seen become a hindrance later on. Granted, if you are one of those who can write quality code with quality tests it isn't (but you're not, most are not, chances are you are not - even if you think you are, probably you're not).
At the moment, the site is too easy to navigate, the text too easy to read. Maybe use more images, big images, a 2mb+ background gif would be good. Oh, I forgot external scripts, throw some of those in, my laptop fan isn't whirring so it is underused.
yes, what a terrible website, please "improve" it

Would love to get back out on the road, but 3 kids now (as opposed to just one for the trip) means it is unlikely.
They work quite well. I tend to get about a 1 out of 5 correct of the squiggly words, whereas the service is more like 4/5
I am not aware of any successful dictionary attack on recaptcha. And the only OCR techniques to bypass recaptcha was by xrumer[0] but that was a few years ago
[0]xrumer: once popular forum spamming software waned in popularity / effectiveness in recent years
+1 Their headlines are borderline genius on occasion
There is a common objection?
China is cleaner, more developed, more organised, things work, better roads / facilities and generally less chaotic with less signs of extreme poverty.
>In some cases, chronic ketamine use has been associated >In several reported severe cases
Chronic / addiction levels yes. Not recreational levels. As I put
As to ketamine and bladder problems. I used to be involved with the UK free party scene which had serious problems with ketamine in the early 2000s ( up until the supply shortage caused by the Indian clampdown a few years ago), before it was well known about the addiction / health problems it could cause (although issues were known, but it wasn't generally well known beyond a few knowledgeable people).
You would often hear that ketamine had no comedown, had no side effects. Users would start out being weekend users, then progress to daily, sniffing between 3-7 grams a day, all day - everyday. Then gradually you started hearing about stomach cramps, difficulty going to the toilet, thinking you had to go to the toilet every 10 minutes, having to urinate a jelly/jello like bloody substance. Drs had no idea what was going on and were no help. But by this stage the addiction had them completely and the only way to stop the pain was to sniff more ketamine. Eventually it led to a girl having kidneys and / or bladder removed and slowly the public conscience about the dangers of ketamine was known.
However, of all the users I knew who kept it to only weekends, used ketamine for years with none of the above mentioned health problems. Anecdotally of course and I am sure there may be edge cases I am unaware of. But recreational use of ketamine does not cause bladder problems IME
