If you don't know phonics, how does looking at the letters help?

The immunity thing only protects the president from criminal prosecution; it doesn't grant them additional powers if they say it's official. Attempting to pardon people you didn't have the authority to pardon is not a criminal act. He'd have to go hold a gun to the governor to get that pardon signed or similar.

Considering we're trying to find lengths, shouldn't we be doing absolute value squared?

Kissinger is dead; will you accept Cheney?

That's not who you voted for but that you voted in the election.

If your OS is competing instead of collaborating with the hardware and apps, that's gonna be a bad experience.

This in reply to a person who took more effort to write a program that wrote out the steps for inverting a matrix so they didn't have to do the busy work of inverting a silly number of them? Kinda sounds like they prefer really understanding and challenging work to busy work is all.

If it hasn't been tested, it's broken.

The problem is that any stance on Isreal/Gaza by a Democrat will lose them votes. Hence, the wishy-washy, trying to thread the middle, not really saying anything tactic.

You get an offer letter that spells some of that out, but it isn't a binding contract.

An employment relationship in the United States is presumed to be “at-will,” i.e., terminable by either party, with or without cause or notice. Indeed, a majority of employees in the United States are employed on an “at-will” basis, without a written employment contract, and only with a written offer of employment that outlines the basic terms and conditions of their employment.

They phased out back scatter x-ray like a decade ago. They only use millimeter wave, which doesn't have ionizing radiation.

The problem is that it takes months (in the absolute best case) to years to fix hardware bugs. And every piece of hardware has bugs, just like all software has bugs. So does everyone always have known compromised computers?

The timelines for software vs hardware are just so different. After they both figure out the problem, find a viable solution and test that solution, there's still so much time left for the hardware fix to come out. With current pocesses, it's like 4-5 months to get silicon back. And that's if you've already reserved the time for them to make the masks and the new chips. And that's just to get the first chips back. You still have to get them to consumers.
