No. If you calculate the straight probabilities of blackjack or roulette, say, the house has a small advantage. That's the house edge.

OP is saying that the digital versions give the house an additional edge.

What's the hoax? OP has seen the video.

The 100-900 weight scale came straight from Windows. It wasn't some great insight from the CSS spec authors.

It's both. Social media provides a positive feedback loop for awfulness.

I don't know anyone spending more than one day a week in an office in the UK. Trains are very under-utilised. Business owners in city centres are still grumbling about the lack of trade.

What? ctrl+k should enter a digraph.

Feature phones are notorious for having terrible security. Most of them can be quietly hacked with an SMS from the carrier. And they support MMS so you're not immune to image parsing bugs either.

Does management know that all meetings are being shared with another company?

A lot of these sites (including this one) do work in reader view.

So two people do this and, however principled their grammars, they aren't the same. And when two systems disagree on the meaning of something you get bugs and security holes.

If you are young you surely expect to acquire more knowledge and experience over time. So you should expect to make better decisions in the future. You cannot say that every old person is wiser than every young person, but you can certainly say that older people (before dementure kicks in) are wiser on average.

Of course, I didn't believe this when I was young either.

The misleading statement (which has a bogus citation) is in the introduction. Your quote is in the body of the article. It isn't great.

You're right of course. The original anecdote makes no sense then.

"Around that time" is referring to 2004.

I would be surprised if every country gets exactly the same product.

I think Stack Overflow used to sell this as a service. Don't know if anyone used it.

It might be fraud for a child to give a false birthday to get access to an adult service (or vice versa) but it's not fraud merely to give a bogus birthday.

JS does support private implementation details using closures, but JS devs tend not to use them.

Thank you, that's really helpful.

Can you recommend one?

Yes, but American suburbs aren't like other countries' suburbs. British suburbs, for example, are much denser and usually very walkable.

You can use pandoc to get html+mathml, which renders in Firefox with no JS.

Chrome users can get an extension to render the mathml. Or you can add mathjax to your page, but I don't bother.

In the UK, consumer product liability is with the vendor. They will usually recover the costs from the manufacturer, giving them an incentive to deal with reputable companies. As a consumer I don't have to care about the vendor's suppliers.

Why should software be different?

Where can you find a private A&E in the UK?

Keeping slaves is inherently harmful. Copying things is not.

The amount of traffic needed to service local stores is tiny. One or two vehicles per shop per day at most. My local high street is pedestrianised but permits access for delivery vehicles. On a typical shopping trip I'll see one or none. It works well.

The key is removing the through traffic. Walkways are unnecessary.

I've seen this in a few software books. It works very well.

From the article:

> if you allocate a new object in the storage of the old one, you cannot access the new object through pointers to the old

Which implies the UB happens in the caller.

Maytag is common in UK launderettes but I've never seen a domestic one.

This is true for things that are connected to the network anyway. It is not true for unconnected devices controlled by Bluetooth. The gratuitous app login is straightforwardly malign.
