Apparently there's scheduled maintenance ongoing - but it wasn't supposed to break everything :) https://status.npmjs.org/


Bribing was never on the table to be decriminalized, just negligence while serving in a public office.


You can easily masquerade a bribe as negligence.


Whoops, I just found $50k on my public office. I'll just take it out of negligence.


When you say no proof, what would you expect good enough proof? I expect the Russians would never admit to anything.


He asked a valid question and passed no judgment. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder.


That's not a question, it's a textbook example of the complex question fallacy, which is dishonest rhetorical trickery. Also useful if you just want to insult someone but pretend you're asking a question. If a person was just interested in the guys relationship with his brother, they'd ask "how come your relationship with your brother is so trash?", without the loaded accusation at the end.

It's the same category as "so, have you stopped beating your wife yet?"


Maybe "that's an insensitive and provocative phrasing" would be a fair criticism though?


Are you saying that because you think about murdering people all the time? It's a valid question; I pass no judgment.


Honestly, when it comes to pilots I want one that has a burning desire to live.


It's open source if you use timekit.io (their backend essentially .... ). So not really.


Well... in fairness to this product, it's licensed with an MIT license, so in theory you can plug in whatever danged infrastructure you want.

Seems disingenuous to say "not really" to the open source question when it has such a liberal license. Fork it to use whatever you want.


No, you open up the Chrome Dev Tools, click the Timeline tab and then start recording. Click a few days in the calendar, stop the recording and then you'll see that after each click it takes 100ms until paint events are shown.


Please give an example of a US terrorist attack on a theater/school/whatever when the citizens stopped the attack.

Note that in the Pearl High School shooting (item #1), Assistant Principal Joel Myrick had to retrieve his gun from his truck parked off campus because it had to stay outside the "gun-free school zone". It's unclear how many of the 9 victims could have been avoided but for the "gun free school zone."


Ok, so there are some cases where it helped stop the attack. Going a step further, how many of those had AKs and maybe bullet proof vests? Should everyone have armor piercing bullets too?

How many of the attacks happened because it was easy to get guns in the first place?

A terrorist will always be able to procure guns. But what about an unhappy employee, an angry teenager ?

Arming people is no solution to terrorism.


What was the cost of that "safety" ? There is no such thing as a free lunch it seems


No, having guns won't help one bit. Just name one attack in the States that has been foiled by a citizen.

What will happen unfortunately is that the surveillance measures will increase exponentially, normal citizens will throw privacy out the window, terror attacks will still happen.

It's the world we live in.



I commented elsewhere in this thread with three.


It happens quite frequently. If everyone had a gun it would prevent almost all of the incidents. I'm not sure why you would argue this. The other question is how bad is the result of everyone carrying a gun.


> I'm not sure why you would argue this.

Because there are plenty of places where lots of people have guns but suicide bombings or kidnapping or etc still happen regularly.
