Most adversity is trauma.

In Australia, if a company fails to nominate a speeding fine for a company car - either refusing or not maintaining records - then the fine is multiplied compared to that for an individual.

An N100 minipc or second-hand Dell Optiplex doesn't cost too much more than a rasp-Pi ($100-200), has a lot more power, and will only pull about 10W idle.
My optiplex shows as 8.191 kwh last month -> 11w average.

If voters are split 60-40 on an issue, that doesn't mean that the odds are 60-40.
You should instead be asking, what are the odds that that X voters could change their vote.

But is it still piracy if you compress them and serve only a likeness of the original?

Better off watching CGP Grey's video "The Better Boarding Method Airlines Won't Use" which has more discussion of the topic, more simulations, and puts forward better methods that are either faster or allow families to remain grouped.

This is basically https://arxiv.org/abs/0802.0733 but differs to the paper in that it doesn't consider: alternating odd-and-even row disembarkment, which would give passengers more aisle space to potentially speed-up luggage handling.

I really appreciated this joke.
For the non-Australians, we don't really say parmigiana either, it's parmi or parma and there's a lot of playful debate over the naming.

If I were the hacker, I'd edit maxwellhill to have email address [email protected] just for the shitstorm it'd create, context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29838084
Aside from that, email addresses to usernames might be valuable - you could identify high-value targets from finance, crypto, or luxury item subs.
Or you could just make lists of people who post on specific subs for targeted harrassment.

I'll ask the dumb question - he'd already taken his money out, what financial advantage is he meant to have then gained by encouraging others to do the same?

Yep, and if they're willing to limit deposits, they're liable to limit withdrawals too.

What if sleep is the best cognitive exercise?

To be fair, Valve were sued into enacting their return policy by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), and no longer offer flash sales because of it.
Linux support is nice though.

No, dota has a paid subscription ($5 p/m) which gates gameplay features, many of which would be really useful for newer players - ingame coaching, item suggestions, hero pick suggestions, death summary, live gameplay tips, avoid player list, ranked mmr double downs that can be used after drafting phase, exclusive modes, and live spectating (free users have to use discord streaming or spectate with 2 minutes delay).

You mean the company that pioneered:
Microtransactions, real money loot-boxes, gambling, NFT marketplace, battlepasses
doesn't milk it's users?
Dota used to have $35 "arcanas", a high quality skin for a single hero which were released intermittently - but that wasn't enough money, they're now placed $200+ deep in the yearly battlepass. If you played any of their games, you'd realise they're one of greediest in the business.
