You kind of already can, at least in the US. Property ownership is public record and so are the property taxes individuals pay.

You made a sexist comment with no evidence. Reap what you sow.

May be off topic but seeing as you're here... so I just got into smoking last summer and what got me really interested in it was watching Aaron Franklin on the Chef show. I bought some of his books to kind of introduce myself to the art / science but I'm curious where would you point people who are novices at BBQ and looking to build their skills?

By failing your courses and or dropping out. High Schools in the US don't have a static curriculum. Not all students graduating will have taken Algebra 2, Pre-Calc, trig. They also may not have taken Physics or a lot of the other sciences.

Most public High Schools in the US are honestly extremely hard to fail out of. As long as you get C's in all your classes you'll graduate.

The complaining may not be present in this thread, but historically there's at least 5 or so upvoted comments complaining about the format the content is posted in or complaining about the website used to host the content.

I think his tweets are fair given how absolutely toxic some posters on here can be.

If they're in the US, a lot of financially smart and motivated people can play Credit Card games to maximize on their miles / rewards for purchases such as like 3% cash back on some purchases.

My grad school had the same auto grading and a scoreboard where you could see anonymously each others attempts and explosions. We did it as part of our Systems I class which was essentially an introduction to C and Assembly. I felt the point loss from blowing up was poorly thought out for at least an into type class. It makes it so that if you didn't do it perfectly the first few attempts there's actually a point where you can come out ahead by not finishing the assignment which just really bothered me as that seems exactly against any intended learning outcome from the lab.

They'd be cutting themselves out of other stores if they did that. Stores like Steam require that your game is sold at the same price across all stores otherwise it will be removed from Steam.

Whats worse is when a website has a footer but they have a never-ending scroll div between the header and footer so as you approach the footer more content loads pushing the footer even further down.

I think it's dependent on your mouse too. Personally I only use mice that have a click wheel, I absolutely hate free-spinning scroll wheels.

This thread right here is proof HN is no better than Reddit or any other social media forum people try to claim it is. The amount of rage and hatred being expressed here is just sad.

Because browsers allow it.

He wanted to create something that brought joy to children. As "evil" as Disney may or may not be, being an Imagineer and getting to use your technical skills to bring enjoyment to kids is something he felt very passionately about. Being a tenured professor doesn't give you the same outreach as working for Disney does when building an amusement park ride.

I get the impression its a new OS for smart tvs.

I'd check your CPUs heatsink mounting and make sure the thermal paste is applied correctly. Installing and downloading shouldn't cause your CPU to ramp up to 100C.

The Witcher shows a lot of nipple

It's the human world and this has always been the case. Humans as a whole have never been 100% rational.

Please, please show me examples of 5k being run of the mill. That claim needs evidence.

I hope you do the same to the adults, cause there's no shortage of adult (men) that do the exact same. It's honestly distressing.

Usually if you're at a doctor, you're there for an illness or a health issue you want checked. I don't think most people make their way to the doctor's office, after taking PTO or an extended lunch to go there, to then decide not to finish signing in because they couldn't read the paperwork.

For me personally, Firewatch was the first "walking simulator" I was actually able to finish. I thought it was phenomenal.

Unity is not inherently bad. It's garnered that reputation because its super easy to learn and make a somewhat workable game out of, even if you have absolutely 0 understanding of the workings of your code. I'm not familiar with Kerbal's code or any blogs / videos on it but I would imagine they're doing Newtonion physics simulations which are going to be rather intense for a game and probably add an unavoidable burden to the overall performance of the game. They also could have just been doing things that are not efficient in Unity and not realized at the time and maybe will not repeat the same mistakes in Kerbal 2 if it is written in Unity. This meme that Unity is inferior to either Unreal or a custom built engine are annoying. Sure, if the Kerbal team built their own engine from the ground up and hired on their own engine team I'm sure they'd be able to make micro-optimizations to make the game run better but at a much higher development cost.

For JavaScript const is more for letting the developer know intent. If I declare a local variable within a function with const, I am saying this variable should not be reassigned. If I use let I am saying that the variable can be reassigned.

It's nice when looking at someone else's code and being able to tell if they intended to have a variable be reassignable or not.

Maybe you've talked to JavaScript devs who are just bad at explaining their reasoning or maybe they just strictly adhere to linters which encourage the use of const and let and throw linting errors when they come across a var.

Either way, I'd recommend you reevaluate your language and refrain from calling other dev's weenies just for having a different opinion than yours and maybe not being able to properly explain their stance. Using language that borders bullying is not helpful, it's no better than calling someone a snowflake or other degrading term.

So this is in the US, but I was looking at car loans just to see what the rates were compared to mine and there were reviews from people stating the bank repossessed their car a day after their first missed payment. Now this is only their side and I don't remember which banks and credit unions were receiving those reviews but I know there were multiple accounts of people with similiar experiences and some of those lenders were nationally known banks. So you mileage may vary with car loan lenders.

I'm assuming my down votes are for the link being off-topic. Just wanted to apologize if I annoyed some people with it. I thought it would be fun to share it since Velcro doesn't come up very often in online discussions.

I was just poking fun at Velcro's absurdity. I in no way endorse their view of their branding. I just saw someone say Velcro and I never have had an opportunity to share that lovely page. Seemed tangentially relevant.

I get them from amazon, can't really say how often as I don't use Amazon much anymore but when I do actually do a specific and deep search for a type of product but don't purchase anything I'll typically get an e-mail of items similar to those that I was looking at.

In my experience its more about the screen real-estate more than the ability to use one hand to navigate a phone that drives people to upgrade their phones to the phablet sizes. People don't seem to care that they can't reach everything on their screen with just their thumb.
