There are multiple definitions of lying. Some people would use the stricter form of 'making a knowingly false statement', and those people are likely to confidently denied they lied when they were accused lying, when they think they only not telling the whole truth.

John Mearsheimer's book "Why Leaders Lie" has a great definition on three forms of deception [1]:

* Lying - Making a knowingly false statement to deceive

* Spinning - Emphasis / de-emphasis certain parts of fact to tell a favorable story

* Concealment - Hiding certain facts to deceive

If I detect someone is "lying" (in your broader definition) I would now use the word 'dishonest' instead.

I was going to ask the same! What killer feature does Splunk has that could justify its hefty price tag, that Elastic couldn't do?

Could you delay the large screens, commentaries, and live broadcast by 3-5 seconds (or more) such that any information gained from leaked noise would have minimal impact to the players? This would make ANS headphones viable

One important software engineering skill that is often overlook is the art of writing just the right amount of log, such that one could have sufficient information to debug easily when things go wrong, but not too verbose such that it will be ignored or pruned in production.

The world of internet would be a _much_ better place if everyone at least have read this. I tried my best to adhere to these rules in any social network.

5. Collect rain water and/or use less water

Not sure about that -- With modern pollution rain water is not likely to be safe to drink (depends on your location)

9. fuck sugary drinks

Massive yes! Amazing for your own health too.

Probably not the font itself but the environment around it when you see it?

You usually sees it as the default monospace typeface in an old windows environment, probably with no anti-aliasing and with low resolution screen. That combination is an eyesore.

Courier New in an modern environment, with modern text rendering and anti-aliasing on high res screen is actually not bad at all.

If you just model rocket science as a point mass with variable m then yes…

But it’s more than that. To name a few: * How does one raise the thrust temperature as high as possible without melting the engine to maximise thrust? (The burning temperature IS already higher than the engine material melting point) * how does one reduce the redundancy (both system wise and material wise) to minimise weight while ensuring the rocket won’t fail?

This is done “accidentally” with major conflicts in history. Post WWII Soviet, for example. Lots more men than women got killed during the war and the post war male:female ratio is (from memory) around 1:1.15
