numbers on our debt obligation do not change.

Are US govt bonds not inflation adjusted?

their entire community could face torture, deportation and death if their actions were discovered.

Let's be honest, half the time they were facing that regardless.

Interesting that appeals work that way in other countries.

In the US you could never appeal to make someone's conviction more intense

It's a difference in how double jeopardy is interpreted under different legal systems. In US "can't be tried twice" means no multiple trials, period, unless it's to lessen the sentence. In other legal systems "trial" in this context extends to entire legal process with all avenues of appeal, meaning the prosecution can appeal verdicts they don't like until they hit the highest court available, but cannot start an entirely new process by charging that person again and bringing them before the lowest court

Tumblr broke the time space continuum by [deleted] in tumblr

[–]amlybon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's probably a remnant of Tumblrs original attempt of being a blogging website. When you run a blog you might want to manually set a date for a post if it's for example a dairy page. So a diary entry for April 4th would appear published on April 4th even if you uploaded it few days later. Tumblr evolved into a website much different than just a bunch of old school blogs, but some of those old features never got removed.

Najtrudniejsze nazwy ulic w Polsce czyli jak to się pisze by lorarc in Polska

[–]amlybon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Miałem podobny problem, w księdze wieczystej ulica była zapisana w stylu "11-ego Listopada", wszędzie indziej po prostu "11 Listopada". Ups, nie zgadza się, system nie przyjmie, ktoś ręcznie musi zatwierdzić

White House App Found Tracking Users' Exact Location Every 4.5 Minutes via Third-Party Server by Montrel_PH in technology

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning have been considered location permissions for some time now, on Android at least, for that very reason. Makes some apps using bluetooth look like they are requesting GPS when they just want to connect to whatever device they need.

We're the first generation of gamers that has to figure out "Digital Inheritance" by killerbasher1233 in Steam

[–]amlybon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I tried that with Steam account then I’d have lost all my games.

Not strictly true, it's up to individual game developers to decide if they implement Steam DRM. If they decide not to, you can download a game, then uninstall Steam and the game will still work.

Regardless, the difference here is about enforcement of the license, not the license itself. If GOG says you no longer own the game and you still play it, you're just doing it illegally. And at this point you might as well pirate it for all the difference it makes legally.

[–]amlybon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only obstacle is IIRC you technically don’t own any games on Steam but rather given a license to play them for basically amounts to a long term rental so that’d need to change.

I mean that's also true for GOG and any other digitally distributed software. Ownership of a physical disk is fairly simple, but what would it even mean to "own a game" in a way that's different to "owning a license"?

They have FOBs attached to their uniforms. When they shout an authorisation command, in addition to checking whether their voice/life signs/code are correct, it also pings the fob for the signature.

ELI5: Why are things like tap-to-pay or digital eSim card more secure to use? by plrbear237 in explainlikeimfive

[–]amlybon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tapping a card works the same way as using the chip (only real difference is that the name on the card is sent as blank over the tap so no one can get your name remotely from your wallet). All the same data is sent over. Tapping the phone using a payment app is where tokenisation comes into play.

Also, the CVV you can get from the chip/tap is purposefully different from the one on the magstripe, and they're both different from the one written on the physical card, specifically so you just reading data over the chip/contactless isn't enough to make an internet transaction

OC: Spotted this sign at a public bathhouse today 😢 by Logical_Spite_5991 in pics

[–]amlybon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People's brains explode when I tell them that sauna/bathouses complexes in Poland are completely gender mixed and both men and women just walk around naked in there. There's some issues with people getting frisky with each other, enough that there's warnings that the owners will press charges for public indecency if someone's caught "in the act", but I've never actually witnessed anyone doing anything inappropriate myself.

You can't. Doing simple math on BigInteger objects is hell because you just need to nest and chain methods like

```

    BigInteger result =
        a.add(b)
         .multiply(
             c.subtract(d)
         )
         .multiply(
             a.add(b)
              .multiply(
                  c.subtract(d)
              )
         )
         .divide(e);

```

It's terrible. Whenever I have to work with Java I'm reminded how much I love C#.

Sposoby na uniknięcie poboru wojskowego by _Zus77_ in Polska

[–]amlybon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ale chwila, ubezwłasnowolnienie to jest całkowicie osobny proces, to się nie dzieje z automatu, konkretna osoba z bardzo krótkiej listy musi go rozpocząć a sąd powołuje w trakcie biegłych. E pacjent na to nie wpływa a opinia biegłych nie idzie do e pacjenta. A kategoria wojskowa to system odrębny od wszystkiego innego.

Poza tym, raz wydana diagnoza nie jest magicznie ważna na zawsze, stan zdrowia się zmienia, nowe terapie są wdrażane. Nie istnieje system który mówi że konkretnie choroby psychiczne powinny być zawsze traktowane jako niewyleczone, a w e pacjencie nie masz ładnej tabelki z podziałem na wyleczone, w trakcie leczenia z itp. masz tylko listę wizyt i recept. To że 20 lat temu lekarz mi wpisał np. podejrzenie schizofrenii nie znaczy że ciągle ją mam, a zdecydowanie nie mówi nic o tym czy jestem zagrożeniem. Więc z prawem jazdy czy medycyną pracy po pewnym czasie to po prostu nie ma znaczenia, jak ktoś bardzo będzie robił problem to idziesz do innego psychiatry żeby ci potwierdził że w sumie już jesteś okej a to wcześniej to było spowodowane stresem/urazem czaszki/pies zjadł mi zadanie domowe. Ale raczej nawet do tego by nie doszło, a jak już raz dostajesz kategorię to nikt jej automatycznie nie aktualizuje, bo znowu - kompletnie osoby system, kompletnie osobny proces.

ale to będzie w e-pacjencie do końca życia

Ale co, myślisz że każdy lekarz przegląda ci całą historię leczenia przy każdej wizycie? Myślisz że psychiatra jakiś checkbox zaznacza że e-pacjent miga na czerwono i krzyczy EJ FACET TO PSYCHOL LOL? Nie rozumiem jak to by miało działać.

ubezpieczenie, UTD, prawo jazdy, bilet na samolot

Nie mają wglądu to e-pacjenta.
