Thought there was no way this was from the same Haribo that makes gummy bears, but apparently it's them. Makes me curious on what other companies have licensed products that would be unexpected given their main business

No state can claim to have a 0% false conviction rate. Would accept inhumane treatment while imprisoned if other, more deserving, people received the same?

While you can't go off the standard S M L sizing scale, if you know your measurements you should be able to find something suitable

We may not live to see a crash but that doesn't mean it won't happen. It doesn't seem like this cycle is stable enough to continue indefinitely

>If they're not forced to produce something of value to give to you, then how can you ever be made whole again? Does the state pay? If so, why do taxpayers who didn't commit a crime foot the bill? If it's insurance, then why do non-criminals paying insurance premiums foot the bill?

Are any of these solutions that unreasonable when you consider that the state/taxpayers are already footing the bill to keep prisoners incarcerated?

What we need is a return to the good old days of the Nine Familial Exterminations

To be fair to RubyCentral, this year's RailsConf was the last one they have planned, though it's likely that they'll shift focus to on RubyConf in its place

The thing is that "does whatever the f*ck it wants" might have negative consequence in regards to "America has the largest economy". If the current GDP growth trends continue, it looks that China will surpass the America on this front unless there are significant changes in either country.

Although I haven't been in the ruby community as long as you, I have been to two RubyConfs. I didn't notice any overt toxicity or political extremism when I went but I'd be interested to hear more about your experience if you don't mind sharing?

This wasn't an ill timed photo. There's a video of him making the gesture, twice

It's genuinely sad how the golden-age of web-serials seems to now be behind us. One of my favorite things is how the format allows the community to stay engaged with the story in a way that doesn't really happen when an author releases a completed novel

Has this administration given any indications around encouraging the development of nuclear power?

>Clearance rates for violent crimes are below 60% in Canada

Unfortunately the clearance rate is similar in the US as well. This source is a bit outdated violent crimes had a 45% clearance rate in 2019: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

I'd argue that the increased rates of suicide, and lower birth rates implies these systems aren't sustainable in the long term without depending on factors like immigration to make up the difference

The "pretty much" disclaimer in their comment covers this case. But it doesn't dispute their idea that most billionaires reached that level of wealth by exploiting others

Even if you aren't going to do the complete test code just writing down the expected checks for each test makes things so much easier

> And one of those WCK workers was in fact a rifle wielding Hamas member

As far as I know this was the result of the IDF's own investigation so there's some conflict of interest

The emphasis of identity politics talking points here gives off the same vibes as a lot of "as a black man" style posts

Their shareholders only demand the price stays up. Headlines claiming Visa and MC are associated with legal but morally controversial material is likely to hurt shares regardless of whether such claims are valid

Given the context of the historically largest budget deficit alongside decreased taxes on the wealthiest Americans, it's genuinely hard to believe the goal of this cut is balancing our budget

Why does Apple's global marketshare matter when the suit is being brought to US courts where Apple holds the majority of the market

A 4 day work week can always be implemented as 4 10 hour days instead of 5 8 hour days.
