I get the argument, and I agree with much of it. But the author loses points with me by using the term
bastard, and derogatorily at that.
Implying that a child born out of wedlock is of less value than one born in wedlock is silly. It reduces to judging someone for something wholly out of their control, while at the same time yelling, "Marriage (hence Church and Government) good! No marriage bad!"
What an antiquated mentality.

Hit the gym daily.
That will snap you out of the bad habits described.
You’ll feel better (physically, and about yourself).
Feeling better about yourself should dispel any fear of interviewing.
Do one thing every day: hit the gym.
I’m a fan of another team … but I’ve been rooting for the Brewers too. Great to see a smaller-market team win the World Series — especially when it’s their first time, and especially sweeping the Dodgers along the way! What a ride.
I only wish that they could have won the Series at home instead of in Tampa.
Congrats, Milwaukee fans! Very happy for you!

… and certain evidence that would otherwise be hearsay is often deemed non-hearsay by rule or statute!
Circumstantial evidence is certainly sufficient to convict in most (if not all) US jurisdictions.
Since you mentioned secondhand information, I think you might be thinking of hearsay.

I question the suggestion to use FaceID to log into 1Password. At least in the US, the government can force you to use biometrics to access data (such activity generally does not the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination).

Please elaborate.
> peoples' tortuous attempts to avoid giving a direct answer
In this case, the attempts are simultaneously tortuous, torturous, and tortious!
pellucid is a perennial favorite

I recall that about 8 (10?) years ago the “Roadster 2” was advertised. Am I correct that that was repeatedly delayed and never delivered?
My sense is that this is just more Elon Musk bullshit that will never materialize.
> an era where the courts just decide to ignore precedents they don’t like
Lo! and behold, Newsom, Luck, and Tjoflat. Never saw that coming.
And here I thought it stemmed from connecting refrigerators to the Internet.

They dropped the ball:
DESk would have been Desktop Environment, desk, and Skeumorphic in one word.

This opening is a sure way to squander the putative trust I offer to unknown authors.
- No need to editorialize the title of the linked page. (Title of HN post should be corrected.)
- Not sure how the conclusion of “stealing” has been reached here.
- Non-Floridian readers should be made aware that lots of HOAs have imposed special assessments because of new statutory requirements after the Champlain Towers disaster in Surfside a few years ago. Those assessments effectively strive to catch up after years of neglecting building maintenance. Often they are hefty amounts, and many owners can’t keep up. Hence the liens and suits thereon. (There are many other causes of action, of course.)

Point Jev at them, then!
Look at all these benighted folks who believe that American judges adhere to precedent when it’s brought to their attention!
General intent is intent to commit the act/omission (here, to build and deploy a system) and not an intent to achieve the ultimate end (the unlawful access of someone else’s network/computer).
Specific intent is intent to achieve the particular result.
Some crimes require only general intent; some require specific intent.
This has all the accuracy of Gruber’s recent pronouncement (based on a Reddit post!) that the Eleventh Circuit uses/requires Times New Roman as its official typeface.
