If we imagine a third observer in a space craft traveling close to he speed of light, it's possible to construct the scenario in such a way that the pilot of the space craft would observe the two events happening at the same moment. Time is relative

You can. But ammunition and the guns have to be stored in separate safes. And it's essentially impossible to get off with a self defense claim if you have time to gather your legal guns

> I tell every hire new and old “Hey do your thing, we trust you. Btw we have your phone number. Thanks”

That's cool. Expect to pay me for the availability outside work hours. And extra when I'm actually called

I hope you don't mind being a bit curious about this, as a hobby driver.

At what level of motorsports are you working? It sounds like you both semi-regularly work with new teams. And are you working with them as a programmer? I'd be curious to know what kind of applications you're then working on, if so.

Much more egregious is the fact that the API allows returning both an error and a valid file handle. That may be documented to not happen. But look at the Read method instead. It will return both errors and a length you need to handle at the same time.

The Nordics also have instant C2C with Vipps/MobilePay. In Denmark it's $630 to a specific person per day. Send+receive $47k per year.

Seeing reduced use partially because only a few banks support using it in Apple Pay. And Google Pay can't support it at all currently

Interestingly, isn't that almost exactly what Garmin has done with their wearable ecosystem? A massive data collection people willingly agree to because of the perceived benefits.

You mean Chromecast? Which does work from iPhones?

> I believe there are people who want results sooner rather than later

In Denmark all ballots are hand-counted. It takes about 6 hours from polls close to every precinct reporting a preliminary result. Wanting it faster isn't really necessary, other than to feed the 24/7 news machine.

In Denmark, I don't even lock up my helmet. My bike, sure. But the helmet just casually hangs on the handlebars. I've never experienced, nor heard of, anyone losing their helmet when doing this.

> My belief is that retribution is the immune system of civilization.

Have you engaged with any justice system that isn't based on retribution? Have you seen the results they achieve? Norway is the classic example. They give more lenient punishment for crimes, their prisons are vastly more comfortable, and actively try to educate their prison population. All things Americans (as a general point) would scoff at.

The result? Norway has a vastly lower recidivism rate. 20% vs 75+% in the US. Norway is a uniquely good example, but similar results play out across Northern Europe.
