I hope he is imprisoned for his crimes and lives in jail for years to come. He’ll be forbidden visitors, same as other gangsters are not allowed to meet with other gang members. Eventually, all of the Republican politicians who supported this administration will hopefully be imprisoned for life.

Nothing sent by DHL, UPS or Fedex is mail.

A gang of armed thugs trespassing on private property don’t have a right to self defense.

It depends on the type of work. The proper length of copyright for books or films should long, about 20 to 25 years, because they remain relevant for longer. But software should be shorter, about 7 years.

The purpose of copyright is to enhance the public domain, not to create a business model. How well is 75 year old software enhancing the public domain? If any software has even entered the public domain through copyright expiration, what use is that software today? At best it’s an archeological curiosity, but more likely it’s no use at all.

“Letter” size is standardized as ANSI A, “Tabloid” as ANSI B, and something that could be folded twice to get letter would be ANSI C. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#Standardized_American_paper_sizes

These paper sizes are used in engineering.

I usually leave comments enabled on my reviews. But any negative review usually attracts a torrent of verbal abuse from fans of the game, and then I have to disable comments.

scalpers bought copies on Steam priced cheaper in certain regions. If you release a game on Valve’s store and don’t set the price in each region individually, universal pricing creates discrepancies where this can happen. These were then being sold on less regulated marketplaces.

This could be prevented by not doing regional price discrimination.

Quatre vingt dix nuts lol gottem

The flags are facing the correct direction. On US military uniforms, on the right shoulder, flags are mirrored as if the person was walking forward and the flag was blowing behind them.

IMO, that’s not a digital signature. That’s a normal signature on a computer. Digital signatures involve cryptography. For example, OpenPGP.

Sometimes that won’t protect you from getting a speeding ticket.

I can’t access this site because of a Datadome block.

Congress. For not taxing carbon emissions according to the damage they cause.

(And other countries’ legislatures, but as an American voter, I first need to hold my own legislature responsible.)

GOG is a platform for selling closed source software. If the client was open source, would you be willing to use it to buy and run closed source games? If so, why are the requirements for the client different from the games?

Shadows of Doubt. These achievements are not rare because they are difficult, but because they are tedious. Most of the ones listed here are just repeatedly eating a food item, which costs almost nothing (1200 credits for solving a typical case, 700 for an easy case; 12 credits to buy a Croque Monsieur, the most expensive food in the game.)

Rat Catcher: Solve a murder while your PoV is at the ground, but you can crawl up walls, and also nobody will talk to you. This achievement is rare mostly because this game mode was added a few years after this game peaked in popularity.

Spare No One: KO everyone in town, in a game where you are discouraged from using violence. Finding a katana and knocking out everyone you see on the street is easy enough. The real challenge here is keeping track of everyone. Some NPCs glitch out and get stuck in their houses, never go outside, and never come to work. You’ll have to identify them, find out where they live, and hunt them down. Some NPCs have accented characters in their names, making them difficult to search for on the computers in game, which do not allow you to type such characters.

If you make a case board to keep track of everyone, the case board takes exponentially increasing time to open for each person you pin onto it. By the end, it was taking me about 5 seconds each time I opened it. That was in a custom procedurally generated town of the smallest possible size – it would be worse on any of the stock towns.

Out of the Red: pay off 10,000 to a loan shark in 1,000 credit increments, one payment per day. Raising 10,000 can be done in half a day easily. Paying it off takes for ever. You can’t make payments early. Each one-day wait takes a few minutes, since the game has to simulate every NPC in town. And remember to turn off the procedurally generated murders, because otherwise your loan shark might get killed, and you can’t make payments any more (it happened to me, and I had to load a save.)

Seedvault doesn’t backup apps whose developer chooses not to let you back them up. It doesn’t backup the encrypted keystore or the tee. It misses a lot, because Android fundamentally puts developers above users.

Isn’t the solution obvious? You need more money, so increase the tax revenue. The easiest way is to end the limit on social security taxable income. Right now it’s like $200,000. Any money above that isn’t taxed by social security. So it’s a totally regressive tax. Make it a flat tax, with all income taxed equally, or make it a progressive tax, with larger income taxed more.

Second most obvious solution: make dividends, capital gains, and unrealized capital gains taxable by social security.

Nobody’s at zero. It’s been said that the average American commits 3 felonies per day. The law is so long that you couldn’t read it in a lifetime. There are more criminalized actions than you can imagine.

They just make up shit. They probably knew they didn’t have a warrant for this person.

There are always at least some warrants. ICE will pick one at random and say “I thought it was them.”

You were never tutored in analogue calculations. Analog doesn’t mean “everything that’s not digital”.
