I’m not going to respond with a lot of depth because I don’t think I have a good enough understanding here to be particularly helpful, but I suspect a collar would be considered as inappropriate in a school because of its strong association with BDSM practices alongside the general societal expectation that one’s sexuality is kept out of the public eye. I think that notion can also apply more broadly to the situation as a whole, at least to an outside observer.
This generally isn’t true. The SSA makes an effort to assign a unique number to each individual. It’s happened before where two people have accidentally gotten the same SSN, but they try to avoid this.
Another interesting aspect of this is that many of the German loanwords used in English rely on this fact without English speakers realizing it. For instance: Schadenfreude = “misfortune pleasure”, Zeitgeist = “time ghost”, and Doppelgänger = “double walker”.
So, have you actually used a 144 Hz display yourself?
Completely untrue and not even up for debate. You’d know this if you had ever used a high-refresh rate display.
I mean, technically there’s nothing preventing that, but in practice it’s a fairly uncommon mistake to make and it’s immediately obvious that there’s an issue the first time that path is taken. If something like that makes it to production, it clearly points to an issue with test coverage rather than code paradigm.
My assumption would be that it’s because we don’t really look at mirrors per se but rather the reflection in them, so the definite article is indicating the fungibility of the mirror itself. This total speculation on my part though and I might be totally wrong.
Sure, but that only applies when referring to indices or to the zeroth element specifically.
Even in the CS world, ordinal phrases are still 1-indexed (e.g. the first element of an array vs element 0).
Not even that, more that the correlation might not be there in the first place.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt the urge to apply an alignment chart to monospace fonts of all things, but Xenon and Radon are basically lawful and chaotic evil respectively.
Public companies are by definition amoral. They’re beholden to their shareholders and virtually every decision they make is informed by this obligation. Morality generally only factors into their decision-making insofar as it affects PR and thus the bottom line.
I don’t mean to say that Google or any other company is immoral. I use amoral to simply mean that they operate independent of morality. No public company, no matter how much you may like them, is your friend at the end of the day.
Chromium is open-source. Chrome is not and also happens to constitute a majority of the browser market, and Google has tried multiple times to cash in on this market share to benefit their primary business of advertising to the detriment of users (FLoC, Manifest v3, Web Environment Integrity).
Likewise, AOSP is open-source, but Google has been progressively dismantling it and making various components closed-source (most recently the dialer app).
All this to say, Google is absolutely not friendly to FOSS. As a corporation, they’re beholden to their shareholders above all else and they should be treated as an amoral entity, the same as every other publicly-traded company.
Nope, different product with almost the exact same name lol.
Nah, I did this once and didn’t notice until the call was placed because I was a little tipsy and engaged in conversation. IIRC it didn’t make any noise since my phone is always on vibrate, it just buzzed a bit and by the time I processed what was happening it was too late and I had to explain to the dispatcher that no, I was just fidgeting with my phone.
Republicans, at least the ones calling the shots, don’t give a shit about “the children” and never have. They just care about controlling women. It’s sickening.
This article seems to be outdated as both apps are now visible in the Play Store and I had no problems downloading and running them. A comment suggests that it may be due to the previous minimum SDK target for the apps being too low. I’d be willing to chalk this up to being more innocuous than active malice on Google’s part.
DAE le libtards bad?
Why do you count PHP as a point against Kbin?
You’re generally required to provide identification if you’re arrested and in some US states police can compel you to identify yourself under certain other circumstances, but otherwise yes, in the US you are never required to talk to police beyond this.
