The point is that the Hawaiian "queen and king" are now US subjects. Hence the USA would need to accept their title. Which they don't.

I have sawn a movie years ago playing in Hawaii shortly before WWII, where the gatherings of Hawaiians where disrupted by the police solely on the ground of: "you have no king, you are not allowed to celebrate the birthday of your not king in public".

However I'm not very deep into the constitution and laws of the US :D they seem so archaic.

I did not talk about taxi drivers.

We talked about the difference between an commercial insurance and a non commercial one.

And as long as I'm not transporting passengers, I can use my car as much as I want "commercially" and my standard insurance covers it.

Would it surprise you to know that the city you live in also affects car insurance rates? At least in the US...
Same here. For stupid reasons the fact if you own a house effects it, as if house owners drive safer. Obviously they have a statistic pointing out: statistically they have less accidents or such with lower damage. But that is just a statistic, perhaps I should buy a house in the Provence or in Brittany :D

And you made up your mind what "pumped storage" is for in classical grids. And your idea is wrong.

Actually I calculated you down how damn cheap that particular plant was :D

Oh he meant "methods" as in "functions"?
I assumed methods of thinking and / or developing.

Why would anyone want to "learn" the packages and classes and methods of a programming languages base installation is beyond me.

90% or even 99% of it you simply get by using the IDE wisely.

Ofc. there are corner cases ... but my amount of "packages" and "classes" I know after nearly 20 years of Java development is rather low. I'm not interested in learning such stuff, and I never needed to.

Capitalism is not what you think it is.

For starters: it is 'abusing your capital' in any way as close as possible to breaking/not breaking the law to gain more: capital.

The underperformers are likely much better at capitalism than you are ;D

And the oldest and wisest bull answers: Na, lets just wait up here you young folk: they come up to us by themselves

Software would be more appropriate. They solely exist on top of their App and their servers. Actually a typical dot.com company.

At least the political stuff, the spying stuff, etc. is 'stuff that matters'. This? Just bandwagon jumping clickbait. Is there no way this story could have been spun to include testing standards, analysis of effect on the game, or something even vaguely, remotely applicable to the audience of this site?

If I have the choice between three developers, and can only take one:
a) a 50 year old C/C++ programmer with scripting experience on Unix and some main frame back ground with Cobol and Fortran
b) a 30 year old with 5 year experience in Java or C#
c) a university freshling, with no real work experience and very likely mediocre programming abilities, regardless what language

Guess whom I take if I need someone who does real work?

Well, we all know the USA are weird regarding that.

The minimum level of car insurances in the USA are unthinkable in Europe, and our policies are cheaper as well as far as I can tell.

Mine is 430â per year and covers 10,000,000 damage to persons in total, limited to max 1,000,000 if onyl a few persons got damaged, and AFAIK in damage to property it is unlimited. Might be that damage to persons got changed to 100,000,000 ... some other European /. er posted that a few posts ahead in the thread. Not sure if he typoed or if the insurance minimums changed ... I never really look at such stuff.

The basic issue here is we are all raised in a social environment where it is assumed that law and morality are the same thing.

That wasn't a bad assumption when laws were almost entirely against acts widely regarded as malum in se. Now that we have a shit-ton of laws (and a googol of shit-tons of regulations) against acts that are merely malum prohibitum, that assumption is of more questionable validity.

The summary isn't quite right. A warrant would not be required to seize your phone or other recording device if the officer has probable cause to believe it contains evidence of a crime (and exigent circumstances exist, which they probably do). Then he can try to get a warrant to get that evidence off your device. An example would be they roll up on a crime scene and you were recording before they got there, or, maybe you got video of the suspect assaulting the police. They wouldn't need a warrant to seize it at that point, because exigent circumstances (you could leave, the evidence could easily be destroyed if they don't secure the phone) would justify seizure without a warrant. However they could not legally search it without a warrant. (Typically in a case where a bystander has video of the crime they'll be cooperative and send the video to the police if possible, or give consent to them to get it off their device).

The smarter police aren't going to go around taking phones. If they believe you have evidence on your phone they'd probably like to talk to you about what you saw anyway and ripping your phone out of your hands isn't going to help that. But just be aware that they can most likely legally seize your phone without a warrant, if they have probable cause it has evidence of a crime, and if seizing your phone is the only way to preserve that evidence from being destroyed or lost (you could delete the video or walk away before a warrant could be obtained).

Why in hell are you using a noun when a verb is required?

This is how language evolves.

Sometimes you can convince people to drop a useful construct or misspelling - like by telling them it makes their arguments less convincing. Other times it's like trying to sweep back the tied.

The letter to PA was sent on behalf of "Phi Sigma Sigma, Inc.", and there has to be some mechanism in place to pay for all those blue and gold* robes so they probably do count as a business.

* Just a wild guess based on those being their official colours according to Wikipedia, the colours of their logo, and the colours of practically everything on their website... wouldn't it be funny if those really were the colours they claim are "secret"!

Are you going to host it in Antigua?
