Who buys Coke only twice per year?

Do you really need a lov sac? More than any other beanbag chair or alternate seating?

Or did the ad nudge you toward the conclusion that it is right for you, before you got over it and forgot?

Are you sure?

There is literally billions of dollars begging someone to figure out how, and plenty of contenders trying.

Maybe there is a whole human culture of consumption and it isn't the advertisers fault that humans are greedy. No need to play the victim card all the time.

Did MLK say he wanted it freely redistributed? He delivered the speech publicly. Where does the MLK estate's money go to? Does it go to his heirs, or to the foundation activities?

That statement means nothing, without defining what "resources" means and without saying whatever you are trying to insinuate.

How very not Black of you.

WaPo has descended deep into clickbait headlines. I can't remember the last time HN hosted a legitimate headline from WaPo.

Title is false. This is not autopilot.

The stopped driver was obeying the law by not blocking an intersection. The turning driver ignored the second lane of traffic when making its turn.

My uncle died from this. Walked past a stopped car, got hit in the next lane.

Jaywalking law, including its ridiculous name , was pushed through by the auto lobby in a power grab for auto manufacturers.

I prefer an incompetent adversary over a competent one.

The question isn't bootcamp vs STEM Bachelors. It is STEM bootcsmp vs English Bachelors or No Bachelors.

Boot camp is essentially equivalent to one good semester of college. The most calale first-year college students are ready for a internship, not professional programming job.

Spinning up more VMs costs more. That was a bigger issue in 1996 than now, but still an issue for large deployments.

Kernel hacking was always arcane, the original greybeard wizard stereotype. With the modern Internet community it became more accessible. At the same time, a million JS webdevs ALSO appeared to work on the big was.

There is no single source of truth. Every court case creates a new version of kaw, called case law.

Does YouTube pay the license fee for YouTube viewer? I would expect so.

You are forgetting what the word "clause" means.

No competent client, or their lawyer, should trust that summary.

Nope. Westerners with 2 babies consume 100x as much resources as rural Africans with 7 babies. And they can continue to consume more as the productivity increases.

Surely if the economy collapsed a you say, the price of eggs would increase again, saving the economy. Something is wrong with your analysis

Government regulation is one specific form of power. Human hunger is another, hence the trouble that started the labor movement / unions.
